Wow...I always new people took it WWAYYYY to seriously when they were not the first one to make it to a mish...

Arch/EM/Fire blaster. 1000+ hours logged on him, and I still get a smile on my face when I watch him turn hordes of monsters into glorified pincushions.
Also: Fistful of Arrows when used on Giant Monsters. Seriously. You aren't shooting arrows, you're shooting ballista bolts. -
Granted yes, but what makes a Arch/Kin any Different from a fire/kin safety wise? Wouldn't a Fire/Kin be the most deadliest if he can fulcrum and spam his Aoe's and cones? I know that on teams I will have the advantage...the brute will grab the aggro, I will fulcrum then RoA and start using My Cone and what not. I don't see to much of a problem with the build...plus Siphon Speed would help a bit with my Recharge so RoA is up much more often.
I would make a Fire/Kin but unfortunately you cannot let loose with your Aoes...I've seen many fire kins Face Plant from using Fulcrum then going all crazy with his Aoe's...the baddies stop, turn to look at the /Kin and throw death at him...then he crumples over like Styrofoam cup LOL. -
I love Mercs they were my first MM but they do need A LOT of work not only the power issues but their look needs work. The might as well name them soldiers. The only pets who look Mercenary-ish is the Spec Ops. /Thermal would be nice for mercs b/c Forge will give three of them a nice dmg boost. Also the other awesomeness that goes with thermal.
-
I would take the one attack but I end up just diving into the Presence pool. That one attack isn't enough to hold baddies attention once you get in the higher lvls even with Sands of Mu.
-
Ouch...I still want to make one Regarless though. Would love to have my Archer Zip around at the speed of light.
-
Bah I forgot about thermal. Thermal is win as well.

Oh...Hrmm, Well you can always lay Down Acid Mortar when it's up as Well as Web Grenade...and then blow up a mob or two with Trip Mine...then use Poison Trap.
When I play my Traps defender I am always busy. Maybe I'm not reading into what you are saying correctly but a lot of traps powers you can spam whenever it's up...and acid mortar and Poison Trap seems to always be up (if you took hasten).
Maybe you should tell us how your "style" or what your combo is when you are on teams or solo. -

I can't tell if I'm playing Traps wrong or if it's just not my flavor of powerset. It just feels like I have absolutely nothing to do after I've used all the powers once, except stand there and watch my pets/teammates do stuff, which is just dull. I may get to lay another Trip Mine every now and then after standing around long enough, but that's about it.
It's enough to almost make me consider taking the damn Pulse Rifle attacks just to have something to do while stuff is recharging. And anyone who remembers me from ~half a year ago will know I'm strongly against MMs taking personal attacks, so that's saying something.
The fact that Robotics is the most dull primary to boot doesn't help, but my main problem is still with Traps. Any tips on how to keep myself from falling asleep in combat after using every power once in the beginning?
ANYWAY, I would be laying down Acid Mortar every time it's up. I love having 2 of those puppies out at one time. Good for stacking and it protects the squishies by taking aggro. With Hasten it should be up pretty Often.
I also use seeker drones a lot. Once the Melee toons takes the Alpha I drop the Drones in the mob to mix things up and make things safer for everyone.
Force Field Gen. is pretty self explanatory.
I put down Triage Beacon when there's a big mob or if there's a Boss. Also I sit it down away from melee as a place for squishies to catch their breath.
I keep Caltrops around me to keep baddies away and doms and corrs love it b/c it protects them...just be careful not to piss off the melee toons with it hehe.
during a Boss/Av/EB fight I use Web Grenade as debuffer. -62% is nothing to sneeze at I wager! It also keeps them Put! *if you have doms to add to the mag or if you stack that bad boy.
Traps keeps me pretty busy on my defender...if I had a mm I would be so busy that I would forget about my pets lol.
I hope I helped! -
I have a Merc/Poison and yeah it was a bumpy ride but I love them. I might make more but I want to try out thugs as well. Mercs seem like they would pair well with /Pain, /TA, /Traps and /Storm.

Quote:You should of seen my face when My Stalker tried to AS a Chief Mentalist and the Drone was right next to him...LOLZ indeed.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Drones have no more perception than any other normal enemy. What Drones do have (which they share with Rularuu Sentries) is that they ignore stealth completely.
A critter with higher perception will aggro on you from a long way off (see: snipers, with 149ft perception). Drones don't aggro from far away, but they also don't care how many different forms of stealth you have stacked together; they'll still see you once you come into range.
-
+4/+8?! Wowzies. You should of taken the Invul or WP route. I love elec but it's pretty fragile.
-
fire is the quickest. Now as far as what you enjoy that is a whole different tomato.

Quote:Every time someone mentions redraw I chucke lol. I have a AR/Kin, AR/TA, Archery/EM, DP/TA so I don't mind the redraw ^____^. AR can get bad sometimes especially when you're locked in the Flamethrower+Full Auto combo.Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
Very fun combination minus the redraw issues.

Quote:Indeed. I think the wait is was really killed me b/c if you think of it those two could work very well lvl 38+. You have two cones, You can SS in a Mob hit Hypnosis and the Mass Confusion while spamming your cones, Drain Psyche and Shockwave. Sigh. lol.Originally Posted by Seldom
Yeah, to each their own. To me, more mitigation means that you can try crazier things. It also gives more leeway to those learning the ropes. That said, taking things down asap is valid form of mitigation, so there is that to be said for the +damage secondaries.
-
I feel that mind has more than enough mitigation to make up for your secondary. I don't Mind/Psi Toons are...I can't explain it but to me the two didn't quite fit well together. Ymmv though. I couldn't stand those two together I've tried and deleted both of the toons I attempted lol.

Quote:They are LATELY starting to use water...it's a shame that they are now JUST starting to picking up the ball. Yeah, I know about Percy Jackson :P. I also know they screwed up the movie but that's for another forum/thread lol.Originally Posted by Berzerker_NA
I'm guessing you must have watched "The Lightning Thief" as well?
Yeah. Water control would be really nice. What would the damage be primarily, smashing, cold, or toxic?
Some examples of awesome water users are Kisami from Naruto and my favorite of all Katara from Avatar The last Air Bender. Seriously though there's not a recent RPG video Game out there in which the water user was considered to be Powerful.
I think water should be knockup or knockdown, smashing, lethal, DoT and disorient...wait I mixed up the wrong stuff...well you get the idea lol. -
Wow...I am still amazed how much effort, time, consideration and love people put into their toons! One thing this game has a leg up on compared to the rest.

Quote:Aww thanks Lisa! Plant/Fire is amazing and is able to grab as much aggro as my Fire/Thorn! to bad I can't tank with them lol.Originally Posted by McCharraigin
Plant/Fire....there is food for thought....hmmm....
NO, too many alts
And Negate, I enjoy reading your posts
Lisa. -
Quote:I agree with you there..if they did an exact water powerset your computer would implode. Still though I love water abilities...you rarely even see it in anime or video games and if you do they are weak....which is Ironic because water is a universal solvent and it teh eleetz.Originally Posted by MaHaBone23
No, I don't think it is. You could argue that Storm is the collision of various elements, like air, water, gravity, electricity, etc, but Ice = water. Perhaps more importantly, its water that most video cards can render without bursting into flames.

Aren't they all?

Quote:Ahhh a Pseudo pet! Tyvm mister Silas! YaY no I can make my suicidal Kin! lolOriginally Posted by Silas
RoA is a pseudopet. If you use FS before you hit RoA, it will inherit the damage buff from you.

Mind/Fire is excellent for starting out. The same goes for Mind/Elec. My first was plant/fire...but that dom takes some learnin' lol. He to this day is the most faceplanted dom I have ever had(excuse the pun). Now since I've learned how to play him he's a friggin' Monster on Teams His AOE Carnage makes other toons stop and look at me with Awe...or it could be the fact I look Like a BDSM Jack O' Lantern :P.
-
I've leveled up a lot of kins in my small two years of playing but only 1 of them was a Controller (Grav/Kin) so excuse me for my ignorance. I also couldn't find info on this in any of the Kin guides (or maybe I was to lazy to give a thorough look :P). When I use Fulcrum my pets get buffed as well correct? Yesh! so here's my big question lol.
I want to make a Archery/Kin Corruptor but correct me if I am wrong isn't RoA a pet? If I fulcrum before I fire off RoA would it buff the power/pet or would it be in vain? I'm just making sure I know what I am getting into before I make this toon. TY for the advice in advance ^____^. -
Quote:I've seen a toon who looked much like a mender in Ouro. I think she was a Dark/Dark but she colored both to look like sand. I was pretty impressed. I love making mender themed toons as well. Maybe if you color dark to be the "sands of time?"Originally Posted by BrandX
Does it help that I went RAD/DP for my own?
Admittedly, I tried to figure out how to justify DARK/ for the concept...I DID! But RAD/ = Time Manipulation just works better than DARK/ :/
