Read through this thread and the home page post but I'm still confused - Been playing on-and-off since launch, but I'm not currently subscribed. If I want to play a freeform character now, I have to either subscribe for the rest of my life, go LTS, or drop $50 on one freeform slot AND buy this pack for the additional perks?
First of all, flowcyto, thank you for your posts! Your responses here and in many other threads are invaluable. Anyway, Star Barrage and Soul Beam exist now so I have updated the build again. I'm so excited there are finally some real, useful light powers. But I do have some questions: - is Illumination necessary if I'm…
After some initial testing on the PTS I have learned: - Hyper Voice's repel does not proc Enrage, and - Unleashed Rage doesn't do enough damage compared to Force Cascade for it to be a worthwhile power choice. So now I'm wondering: - what form to take - will probably go with Concentration since Hyper Voice is a quick and…
With the addition of Hyper Voice to the game I've been revisiting this build - I originally made it into a tank build, but don't want to completely abandon the support playstyle. So, now it's still a support build but with weaker healing and more emphasis on control and damage. Celestial Conduit doubles as the main ST…
Hyper Voice is cool and I'm glad it's in the game, but I would like if the VFX better represented the cone's actual range. It looks like a single target attack as is.
And one more question - should I go with the Vigilante secondaries, or the Armadillo for the 25% defense buff? Last time I was seriously playing I think the Vigilantes were BiS, but I have no idea what the endgame is like anymore.
Thanks for the input...I think I will go with Compassion, Ego Surge so that she still has some damage potential, and I'm definitely going to try and shove Conviction in there somewhere. I've also been playing around with powers and was wondering if any of these are useful: - Vengeance (curious about this one as I just read…
This is probably not what you're looking for but it's worth a shot. She can make herself and others invisible (but it's not her primary ability): http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Strobe_(Jordan_Shaw)
alright, so this is what I'm looking at now - I know Gigabolt is redundant since I already have the two AOE powers but I always like to have one big flashy power for theme. Sonic Device can go if I'm missing something important, and I'm not sure if I picked the best active offense + defense. PowerHouse (Link to this build)…
The only one of those that wouldn't work for me is TK maelstrom because of the rocks. I actually wouldn't mind melee powers! since I would have to be in melee range to use the CC combo anyway. Re: visuals and animations...anything goes as long as I can explain it as light or sound somehow. Think Dazzler, Songbird etc. -…
Thanks for the help! I've experimented with so many - lightning arc/gigabolt, TK blades, TK assault, demolish, mind break, etc. - I can get almost anything to fit my theme so I figured I would leave the attack powers for last and then pick something that fit well with the rest of the build.
ooh I might actually steal the gigabolt one! this isn't as exciting/powerful as those, but Energy Wave with the Reverse Polarity advantage is a great lead-in to powers like Thunderclap, Ego Storm etc.
That build has more emphasis on healing than I would like (I prefer shields + passive resistance + buffs) but it did give me some ideas & help, thanks :-)
alrighty, I was hoping this thread would catch on but it never did so I am going to bump it with another plea for help :D Dancefloor, the character I posted in the OP, has since been reimagined as Strobe. Her costumes are pretty obvious (imo) Emma Frost homages, but where Frost's costumes are always imposing, striking and…
My main is a hybrid support/ranged DPS toon and I LOVE the combination of AoRP, Protection Field and Inertial Dampening Field. My teammates take next to no damage so I don't even have to bother with heals (although I do have one for emergencies).
Is it me or are there no sound effects for a couple of the new powers? And are there plans to offer different emanation points? Some of them look awesome but making them head-only is severely limiting.
I just looked at your build, it's actually very similar to mine :D Sounds like I've already found the best options, then. I'm just waiting for the day we get, like, blinding light flashes and giant lasers.
26/9/2012 Wow, I'm running out of space in here. I suppose with everything that's been happening I've been writing loads more than usual. I moved to Millennium City about a month ago now, hoping for some reprieve, but things here are messier than I expected. Not that I'm complaining, I've liked keeping busy, but it looks…
I wouldn't use it outside of support role, but I love it! You can cast it on yourself and my favorite part is that I can "stealth" by clicking glowies with the field up, and I don't get interrupted. I think if you take the Force Sheathe advantage in Force Shield, it reduces the damage your protection field takes, but I'm…
Unfortunately there's nothing *quite* like that, which is a shame because it would fit my character perfectly! :( But you could try Force Cascade or Concussor/Chest/Plasma Beam from the Power Armor set. There's also Orbital Cannon which is a huge laser but it comes from the sky, not your character. I'm currently using…
Thanks guys! I'll play around with the jackets more. @zenith: she is a Kylie Minogue/Dazzler homage - hence the mask ;) - a light-controlling, stylish and slightly stupid mutant. ETA: I found my comic book screenshots, I don't know if this is how I should upload them though: Base Costume Experiment (LOVE this top half, not…
