  1. So i've decided to roll a villain, and this seemed like a very nice squishy dropper and boss killer. However, I have one issue: If I take stamina (which is needed), I run out of places for vertical movement, and for the counterpart of the 'Dodge-Agile' combo. I'm planning on PvPing, so Stealth is also needed but no spots to fit it in whatsoever.

    Here's my build:

    What should I do?
  2. First of, I'd really recommend you get your attacks 2acc 3damage. Consider my power advices with this slotting, unless proposed otherwise.

    1) Proton Scatter and Luminous Detonation both suck bad. don't take, and don't slot.
    2) Trade swift with a 3 slotted hurdle.
    3) Incandescent Strike slot as proposed, plus 1recharge reduction
    4) White Dwarf don't really need the 2 endmod, so if you need slots, take them from here.
    5) Restore Essence only needs one 1recharge reduction, and that's it. Just don't die too much.
    6) From experience, Pulsar doesn't really need 4 slots...
    7) Light Form plus shields hit the resistance cap with only 1 resistance enhancement, 3 isn't really needed.
    8) Quantum Shield only needs 3 resistances, not 4. it does stack with Incandescence.
    9) Take Gleaming Blast EARLIER. As in, not after level 14, earlier.
    10) Group Energy Flight sucks, even for PvP...
    11) Take hasten and acrobatics. hasten is more important, and try fitting CJ+Acro in the build.
  3. and now also here!
    If you have any questions, just ask here or PM, or reach me at @Double
  4. In both rounds, i ended up with one more troller (i'm also a troller) and a damage dealer. i lost, obviously, fighting against 3 damage dealers will get me no where.

    Well, i'd really offer my Fire/Devices blaster to lead the blaster teams for the third time, but I thing radiation will do much better in this raid.

    Bringing Earth/Radiation/Primal, with AM, RI, EF and LR. If you want me to, I can lead the radiation team
    Primal makes everything stronger (stronger -regen), and can get the other accolades on the way.

    Sign me up and I'll slide into a team with Mr Double - will try and keep him in check but no promises

  9. First of all, all attacks should have atleast 1acc. Damage is prefered over recharge, but if you don't hit them, what good does it make?

    22) Seriously try to slot it the way I did, with one endredux, 2endmod, 1heal. it will pay off
    28) Try and put another acc and recharge. It is like a mini-nuke - might be hard to fire but it can do MASSIVE damage when you're fully buffed.
    32) 1acc, 2rechg, 3dmg. That last recharge doesn't make a big difference, and you can sacrifice it for accuracy, even if it seems like he hits a lot. Same goes for Quasar.

    The forms looks nicely slotted. If you need slots, take them off the dwarf's endmod. Dwarf is very end-productive and doesn't really need them unless in long fights.
    Also BD Smite doesn't need the recharge. In my dwarfs, I can easily make a very nice attack chain, even with a downtime of 1-2 seconds. Remember that it isn't meant for damage (although it can dish out quite a bit).
    Slot your teleportation powers with one endurance reduction. Especially in dwarf. If you do run out of endurance, worst thing ever is to die slowly in dwarf, after running out of enough endurance to tp out.
    Mires: I assume that for the sake of survival, you're going to be tping in with dwarf, using the dwarf mire first, go human and fire sunless mire. If so, the 2 dmg can be used better on the already-buffed sunless mire - will simply add some extra damage. Otherwise, keep that as it is.
    Again, one acc in the nova form attacks. The ToHit buff isn't that noticeable (especially with 2). DN bold is weak, btw, so only give it one slot of acc to fill in the gap.
    One last thing, I know someone who took superspeed. This stacks with Shadow Cloak to make you invisible. Yes, can be done with N-Form, but Superspeed can be great at times, instead of the slow flying squid or somewhat tiring tp. Take SS instead of your L49 Stealth, as you already have 2 stealth powers.

    That is all.
  10. Great job jum jum!!! well deserved...

    defense in i7?

    I heard that /dark and /rad would have thier debuff effect taken away for some reason, if this does happen then /dark and /rad are oging back to the stone age.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you're implying that my earth/rad will now turn into earth/stone, you're wrong
    I tested radiation myself. an SR scrapper had a difficult time hitting me with Focused Accuracy, while I defeated him several times - on test (I7). I've also killed a regen scrapper on test, if anything, radiation just got buffed, because the buff-effect-pets thingy now effects earthquake, quicksand and volcanic gasses. it might not be a strong effect, but you can see the AM aura on them.

    Radiation isn't back to stone age.

    Best FS mobs

    Anything that is really close together, as in Nemesis troops!
  13. The level 32-38 powers NEED atleast one ACC SO, as well as ALL the other powers. You aren't going to be running double mire all day long, trust me. Put some ACC to the mires themselves, as they do not auto-hit - neither does Eclipse. Eclipse, btw, doesn't need 3 damage resistance slots. Change them to 1res, 1acc.
    Stygian Circle doesn't need 3 heals. Put in an end reduction and an end modification.

    Also, review My Warshade tri-form guide for I6
  14. Will sign my troller for this.

    Character Name: Double Control
    Global Handle: @Double
    Archetype: Controller
    Powersest: Earth/Radiation
  15. Question: If I confuse an already confused hero, will it un-confuse itself?

    Meaning: Villain A confuses Hero A, then Hero B. Hero A, on his confusion, confuses Hero B again. Will Hero B be un-confused, or what? :P
  16. Energy Flight is normal 'Fly', Combat Flight is normal 'Hover'. And why don't we get Air Supiriority?

    Anyway, I have respec'd and it turned out to be a complete success. Got killed a few times, but only when got AS'd (it is unresistable in dwarf and light form) or ambushed by 4+ villains. I totaly rock :P
  17. It seems like it, but it's often because, for PLers, a kheldian is like a sign that writes 'I have a level 50, be proud of me', that can also yell 'PL ME NOW!'
    However, most of them are very nice and some of my best friends have a kheldian rolling, some *cough*raz*cough* has both of them at level 50 *cough*double*cough*. It's all because they are fun and, indeed, epic, if you can use them.
  18. So I have recently started PvPing with my humanform PB and found out that although it isn't slotted for PvP, nor did I take powers for PvP, it is quite good. So i've sat down and started thinking. This is my build so far - rememebr it's a respec build, so slotting can come either way.

    You can tell this is more or less fitted for sirens and warburg, but there are a few areas in which i'm not sure i've made the right decision, such as the 32-44 powers (should I take tactics later?), but there is this one thing of choosing between Combat Jumping(no immobilizes) and Super Speed(so I can chase and be chased).

    Thoughts of slots and powers I don't really need?
  19. That's it? let me tell you about this controller, fire/rad, named Sweet Chilli...
    Indeed, sadning, but it shouldn't be the case with most of the other PvPers.
    Had a deul in sirens a few nights ago, took us like 20 minutes just to find a spot in which he wouldn't be killed (a corr), and when I fought a brute for like 10 minutes, this blaster and stalker come along and wipe us both.
  20. double_EU

    Fair play?

    If they are in warburg, a free for all PvP zone, if they don't want to fight other people, you can:
    a) fight on the buildings, which, as you might think correctly, has it's own privacy of PvP matches and respec - if you are watching a fight, you will be either invisible or flying up, turning to the way in which the fight is running. If you are fighting, it is on a high place for a reason and one might infer that it is a private match.
    b) watch it from the 'safe zone', as you can't be attacked from it.

    This is one of the reason I seldom go to PvP zones - people might misunderstand you, you might misunderstand them, and it can cause some unpleasent situations.

    P.S. You did nothing wrong - they are just idiots. *heh* held by a mob behind the corner... the second way of saying 'I wasn't ready for attacks while in a PvP zone'.
  21. Well, easily. Winamp can run in background :P
  22. Dinging it was fun! thanks for the Fabolous Foursome and the 1AT Coalition for helping me out today!
    We AV'd all day, and we had a lot of interesting teams (including a 2stone tankers + 4kins), but in the end, it all went smooth! During the last mission we cleaned and all, and then they wanted to do lusca! So, 160k off 50, We had to stop everything and get the AV and glowie, then go to Lusca. BUT it was very, very close to the bonus limit, and with 174 xp tnl, i examped, and we all killed lusca.

    THANK YOU ALL!
  23. Yep Yep. I'll be there with my troller. Yep. Yep.
  24. Just another quick question: with tactics running with 3 tohit buffs, will I need 1 or 2 acc SOs on my attacks?
