After about a week and a half of not feeling the CoX urge, Margie and I spent several hours this weekend doing two of our higher-level characters, Kitsune-chan and Ex-Terra, dinging them up to 43 and securely into the lower end of Peregrine Island.<\/p>\n
Kitsune’s an Illusion Controller, but unlike my first 50, Psi-clone, she’s Ill\/Rad, rather than Ill\/Emp. The difference in play style is interesting. With PC my job was (aside from providing controllerish stuff with Phred the Phantasm and Scary Sam and the Boys) to keep Amorpha on her feet. Lots of buffs and heals, and let her do the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n
Kitsune, on the other hand, only rarely fires off heals, since she has just the one. Instead, her job is to debuff the biggest boss on the board and then control the mobs while Ex-Terra spine-AoEs the snot out of them. It’s an effective combo — more of a team effort than PC\/Amorpha, as both of us are AoEing the heck out of the baddies. Indeed, by the time I get around to actually doing any attacks, the baddy minons are usually down to a sliver. Aside from simple goofs, we seem pretty unstoppable at Unyielding (which provides more mobs, if not quite as high level as Invincible); I’m tempted as we get into the final story arcs to bump to Invincible and see how effective we are duoing vs AVs.<\/p>\n
As Margie notes, there’s a reason that \/Rad controllers are so in demand in PUGs.<\/p>\n
