3 of the best controller builds are still very much monsters on the new servers.. Illusion/Radiation.. Fire/Kinetic.. and Gravity/Kinetic.. all 3 have been around since the beginning of the game, and are very nasty customers.. they do take a bit of patience and work to get them high enough to become monstrous, but are SOOO worth the time once you get there.. ;)
Illusion/Traps is a world of fun. So is Mind/Poison, because poison doesn't wake sleepers and its the only buff set that lets you do -res and -def without also doing -dmg and -acc. It means you can confuse your enemies and nerf the victim and enjoy puppet shows to the max.
Nope Dark as well: Tar patch) - speed -fly -resistance Darkest Night aoe) -damage -accuracy Howling Twlight) -recharge - regeneration +disorient Shadow Fall *team* ) +defense +resistance to energy, neg energy, psi and fear Just to name a few, there are other in dark that also do similar debuffs. Plus the pet has a special debuff around itself (Chill of night) neg damage -acc, not available to players (it was at launch but removed because of agro it caused), twliight grasp (pbaoe heal) pet gaze (hold) darkets night (ST) Tenebrous Tenracles ( imob -acc).
I have a Mind/Time/Sorcery Troller, named Dr. Rune. He's wicked fun, and he's only about 40% IOd out. I use Arcane Bolt as my primary damage dealer. I really enjoy when Dominate makes an enemy attack his friends. He cam solo OK, but I'm building him to be a support specialist. Good times.
My friend, incredible channel & with the new release of CoH, us n00bs coming back need your help! More vids, more how to's, more builds. Where to find this, how to do that!? Please comeback!!
I love fire/radiation controller and energy/empathy defender and ice/ice blaster and mind/mental dominator and staff/invulnerability. They are so many options now since the original game but love it just wish you could do free form like you can on Champions Online which is also a great super hero MMO game. Over all my favorite is fire and radiation controller just too cool I love it. Thank you for the video.❤
When this game was life holds and immobilizes were NEVER broken. The controller-s ability to lockdown opponents was literally the point of the class/archetype.
Grav/Kin has always been a monster, just needs some patience and TLC to get to the higher levels where it can shine.. and some good augmenting to boost the regen speed of abilities.. ;) Very much a team oriented build though.. it can do well Solo, but needs a lot of work to get there.. in a group it is ugly from the mid range.. .. heheh "You all sit while i steal your power to beef up my friends to whomp on you" .. "Oops, you're all dead, my bad" .. hehehehe
Oh! Umbra beast is MUCH cooler than what the pet used to be! He was just a shadowy figure with glowing eyes back in the day. His nickname was Fluffy. Wolf is better!
There are a bunch of community servers. Homecoming was the one in this video, and it basically gives you the game with no micro transactions and with some vanilla style additions including new power sets and a new archetype. There are others though, the most prominent is probably Thunderspy which is more liberal with the additional content.
Definitely check out Homecoming Server.. They are now Officially Licensed by NCSoft and have done a TON of work expanding and tweeking the game to make it better than it had been at the end of Live.. :)
Pain is great for your team. It's ok for you, and benefits your stone pet, too. And earth has an aoe stun and great holds/immobilization and -Def to help your team hit high defense mobs. So it isn't a bad combo.
the action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something. Damage Mitigation here means that you could knock the foe down or hold them in some way where they are not attacking you, which would mitigate or reduce the damage that they try to do to you.
Kin is always a great kit for anyone good at using it. One of the largest damage buffs in the game, a great targeted aoe heal/-regen (on enemies) speed boost gives movement speed and great +recovery. And ID can be used to release allies from holds (it's good on Ghost Widow's insane hold in Miss Liberty TF .

My favorite empathy toon is an illusion empathy troller. The invisibility is a great add to the empath set. All the pets is awesome too.
Do you have a link to that second Fire/Kin build you were looking at?
Ay Dutch! What a video to find you on lmfao

The main power in Ice Control that I remember was Ice Slick. It was a huge control power.

My favorite one is earth/poison. Talk about super debuffing!
When this game was life holds and immobilizes were NEVER broken. The controller-s ability to lockdown opponents was literally the point of the class/archetype.
So NO more Gravity Control / Time Manipulation Controller combos..?
Rolled a Grav/Kin the other day, seems fun, not sure it’s the best combo but looks good haha. Any ”dos and don’ts”?
I want to know this as well!

the game is back btw
Yes, this video was made when the game was back. Homecoming started in 2018 🤦
ele/time troller is a nice pair. get two aoe toggles that drain/buff
Oh! Umbra beast is MUCH cooler than what the pet used to be! He was just a shadowy figure with glowing eyes back in the day. His nickname was Fluffy. Wolf is better!
Back on Justice I had an Ill/FF controller that was a BEAST in PvP.
Personal Force Field, pets that can’t be killed, and I’m sure you could sprinkle some epics on that. Sounds like fun 👍
My main is illusion/storm and I have a ton of fun with him
IMO the singularity is the most powerful pet in the game. You can't even get into melee with the thing.
fire/rad!
Does this game still exist? If so, how!?!?! I miss it so much lol!

So Earth/Pain would be THE worst Controller power set combo..?
Pain is great for your team. It's ok for you, and benefits your stone pet, too. And earth has an aoe stun and great holds/immobilization and -Def to help your team hit high defense mobs. So it isn't a bad combo.
What is mitigation?
the action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something. Damage Mitigation here means that you could knock the foe down or hold them in some way where they are not attacking you, which would mitigate or reduce the damage that they try to do to you.
what is so bad about kinetics?
Kin is always a great kit for anyone good at using it. One of the largest damage buffs in the game, a great targeted aoe heal/-regen (on enemies) speed boost gives movement speed and great +recovery. And ID can be used to release allies from holds (it's good on Ghost Widow's insane hold in Miss Liberty TF .
Several factual errors on how abilities work 👎
what are they?
