As a fairly new player, I have to say that this is a great guide. It's hard to find guides that explain the game's roles in detail, and how powers and gear "work" with each role. Most "guides" are just detailed "builds", with no context, that mean nothing to a new player. Good job!
right! ive been playing for about a month and this is probably the BEST video ive seen explain it to me. Im still figuring it out but im getting better
I just got back into playing. I felt that I bit off more than I could chew by selecting a Controller. However, this video was so spot on. It was easy to follow due to your ability to clearly explain the role and how the role fits into the game. Thank you for making this. Awesome job, man!

@@iEddyGaming LMAOOOO, you know me, it will be a while till I get to the point where I play the high end content. I'll just shed a tear of nostalgy every time you post videos like this, and that's it 😖
I have a built similar to that but the only difference is I use the Grimm instead of transformation card. Which definitely puts out more damage but also to my bus as well with the other two artifacts because your main goal is to buff power or damage.
hahaha! I know what you mean. But if you go through my uploads, I have been using it for 6 years. It has always been my style because the helmet is just awesome. Few years back I switched to OP helm which drops from PZ but now I'm back to this, again. Guess great minds think alike ;)
Hi, I returned after a hiatus time and at arrival I find this art: BoP Commlink, which got my attention because of that 3 debuffs in 1. Are there any set ups/loadouts you recommend around this art?
Hi! Bop Commlink basically applies 3 debuffs with one power. But it reduces the debuff time to 6 seconds. That means you will have to re-apply it every 6 seconds. It is great for battle troll but not recommended as battery or buff troll. There are better artifacts (as mentioned in the video) to level up. Also, to get the maximum advantage out of Bop Commlink, it needs to be at 200 rank. I wouldn't recommend it
Battle Troll's main purpose is to help with the damage while staying in troll role and debuffing the enemies. That's why we spec for damage innates first BUT if you have massive amount of skill points, get all the damage innates and then get troll innates too for awesome battle trolling ;)
For a battery troll, can I replace Scrap of the Soul Cloak for Parasite's Power Harness? Having: Amulet of Rao; The Strategist Card and Parasite's Power Harness.
I haven't played in a long time and I don't know where to get good controller gear, the controller character is cr 38, I don't really know how to get the stat points or where to get any of these artifacts, is there a guide for them somewhere?
Hi! I would suggest you watch this beginner guide as it explains everything : ua-cam.com/video/Ox5WvvZw1dI/v-deo.html Secondly, I would suggest that you stick to DPS until you have reached almost end-game content, meanwhile you can save Nth Metal and work on your controller Artifacts and Skill points. At the moment, you need around 450 skill points to max out all the innates for the required role. But on the side note, you can get controller gear from the DLC Vendors or Tempus Fuginaut in HOL depending on your CR. Good luck =)
Hi, which playstyle do u recommend? I mean out of these three. Building artifacts for all three will be long, so i wanna know with which one to start 😁
Hey, Im a new HL player; for the loadout does your guide from 6-7 years ago still applies? So same abilities as the ones mentioned there? (Thats the only troll guide out of this one that doesnt say outdated); or since your example here is also HL, would it be same abilities as here? Also for HL what kind of troll you recommend? Or which one is more needed/useful/etc. Since it seems all powers can do all troll types
Hi buddy! Yeah you can follow the load out in this video. The other videos are outdated, I will update the titles. Buff Trolls are very much in demand for endgame elite content. But if you don't run elite content, go for battery trolling.
So for HL battle troll is not as good as battery (normal), buff (elite)? Im currently making a HL dps, but I want to have a HL troll as well eventually Should I think about battery meanwhile and swap to buff when I can do elites then?
Battle troll is the least required troll type in instances/group. Yes, focus on battery troll first and after you are maxed out, work your way up towards Buff trolling.
Hey buddy! Yeah.. basic trolling = Defence debuff + Instant power heal + Heal debuff + Damage debuff + Group power heal/sheild Supercharge + Personal Sheild. This setup can be used with any troll power.
Hi! If you are not able to crowd control in raids or alerts, that means your Dominance is low. Get better gear, Artifacts, mods, augs, skill points.. Everything adds up and you will have enough stats to crowd control everything even in Elite plus raids. 😉
Quantum is definitely the best troll power for new/old players. As far as art swapping is concerned, my videos are targeted towards beginners, art swapping comes under try-hard and elite category. Though I did mention in the video to mix and match according to the situation. =)
I’m 331 CR light dps and still struggling with my power loss on single target rotation mainly. I’m almost totally concinced that no one knows how to play cntrlr.
Haha I feel you. I am HL myself but HL is really power hungry when it comes down to clipping. Specially the hand clap, grasping hand spam. Just make sure you have power base mods. Fully specced in might and power, superpowered and then pray that you get a battery troll instead of battle/buff. 😂😂 Btw I went precision with HL and my life is better.
@@iEddyGaming I’m great on power if I’m playing from range, I can spam choppers for area stun on regular troops and my combo that keeps my energy is train, light beams, mini gun, snap trap, light beam, mini gun, snap trap repeat infinite energy and the baseball bat does high dmg
If i use rao, claw, and parasite does claw make parasite artifact useless? what would maximize the efficiency of given to my teammates between the two: scrap+sc, or parasite? i know claw prevents power heal.
Parasite will not be useless with claw. As Parasites gives power when you apply a controller debuff. However, scrap, claw and rao is the better option between the two.
@@iEddyGaming Ok scrap rao and claw it is, what about auguments do i go blue or purple? and i should spec into vit right? no reason for me to put any into health cause those 3 arts dont buff anything equal to my health right?
@@iEddyGaming Is me specimg into might and power going to actualy increase the amount of power teammates recieves overtime due to the claw? or does it only benefit my power consumption?
I love how ppl still call it buff OR battle troll , its pretty much the same, what else than dmg can you do after having procced Claw. Dumb how "Buff Trolls" sometimes/often just sit around ,proc Claw and Tetra and thats it, instead of also doing max dmg.
The difference is dps gear vs controller gear, which means while running claw your PoT will be enough to keep group's power bar alive. Also, as battle troll, you are there to do dmg while doing debuffs. Running claw or tetra as battle troll is optional. 😊
@@iEddyGaming I mean, DCUO don’t come with instructions yet some people like you seem to know alot as far as loadouts and such. How, HOW DO YOU DO IT????? 😫😫
Bro! Its just testing and testing. Everything, again and again. DC forums have basic guidance, sometimes devs even answer one or two questions. So that helps. But in the end its all about testing everything yourself. 😊
Most " buff" trolls have TERRIBLE power out. Imagine a tank saying: " I'm an add tank only" or a healer saying: " I only heal bosses" The buff troll build benefits the dps majorly, it does not help the tank and the healer do their roles more efficiently. I constantly see this in elites, the group has 0 power 😆 The passive power you auto give in troll role is usually not enough for a group ( unless the group is skilled and has high sp) You can't even insta power with the claw and most buff trolls are not running a group shield either. What a silly build. Seems to me buff trolls have forgotten the main jobs of a controller. Makes sense though, since about 90 percent of the game is dps, that they would be quite popular. 😉 Its ridiculous, I was in Dme with a " buff troll" Max augments, 450 sp, full elite gear from flashpoint, and the op back piece guy gave out less power than the healer did 😆 The entire raid people complained about power. Every troll should: give power, debuff, stun adds, pickups and group shield.
Agreed but it also depends on the player. And as I said in the video, theres always mix and match option. Like I don't like running claw. So I run amulet of rao, trans and tetra or cog. Group never had power issue. My point is that troll should know which artifacts to run according to the group he is running with. Buff trolling helps alot in Elite raids especially raids like FGSE and FFE critical mode. But thats my 2 cents. 😁
I dont care what kinda troll u are. Hit your freaking recharge (power heal) trolls now adays running around with a full bar of power whie healers and tanks have none. Give power and debuff are bare minimum
The quality of players have dropped drastically while the quantity has increased. When I pug my elite runs, you won't believe how many fail runs I have to do because of support roles not learning or knowing the basics. I teach them the best I can, ingame or via my videos but there's only much I can do 🤷🏻

Hey, this load outs can be use with any troll? Like if I want to try it with a munition troll, would that work? Or this is only for light power?

Light Controller Loadout: @7:12

what is the green eye cover thing ur using
Cosmic Visor Box from Legion DLC
how many PoTs can emit and effect party from ONE troller, is 2 the max?
You give out 6 ticks from PoT to everybody in your group. If there are two trollers in group, the troller with highest vitalization will give out PoT.
What if I have might and prec in a raid what would be the best mixture of arts to buff troll for that?
Usually in that situation I run claw, cog and amulet of rao.
