Right now, controllers are kind of misleading. You can cc, but your main purpose is to buff your group with power regen. You are a healer for the blue bar, and off dps (controllers do the most damage among purple not in dps role).

In pvp, a controllers role is to kill the healer. Controller attacks debuff healing.

Just finished reading some strats and guides on Controllers and there's no doubt in my mind.

Mental Controller all the way. I may pick up flight after all, as I don't feel Super Speed or Acrobatics will really fit into that kind of "character". Oh the possibilities now... time to let my imagination run wild....

Yea. I am trying to use other powers to match my character's profile BUT flight is VERY useful and versatile compare to other abilities. I can travel from point A to B without issue (i.e. no mob training or attacked at this time) but acrobatic and super speed there is a chance of being attack (more on super speed less on acrobatic unless you miss your grapple and fall on to the ground)

Since the update this morning, 2 BSODs and 5-6 crashes. I only had it twice since I got the game pre-patch. :(

Starting at level 9, acrobatics gets access to rocket propelled glide, letting you stay in the air indefinitely.

I'm currently coveting the arms of the Steel armor set and the legs of the Batman armor set. This means a future of PVP. :)

Also rememebr if you go hand blaster as a weapon your hand blasters replace your gloves so if thats your thing you got a ton more options.

Now that the auctionhouse is up and running be sure to browse through stuff for armor styles you like.

I have a character specifically to work auctions and sell the stuff I farm up. As a couple of forumites will tell you I gladly give freebies so if there is a style part you are after lemme know and Ill keep you in mind if I come across it.

And if anyone comes across (Heroe side) druid shoulder or druid head gear that a healer can equip I will pay premium for it!

My controller would love some demonic pieces if you come across any Fnord, going to check the AH but I'm still kind of in the poor house -laugh-

Yeah, do wonder woman's trigon quests in the chinatown district of Metropolis. You'll get a full set or a near full set of demonic costume pieces.

Jiarn

Currently doing those, that's how I got my Demonic boots. Stopped doing the quests there to do the Valentine's Event though.

This thread needs a bump!

So my first creation after Jiarn (from my ava/sig) was:

Doljonijiarn: Mental/Controller/Flight/Dual Pistol

Went with the names origin. A Djinn looking character.

Didn't really like Flight or Dual Pistol, even though they were superior to the other choices, so I went with

Dolj: Mental/Controller/Super Speed/Staff

Leaned more toward the Deadpool style in this one.

This is where I gained my love for Super Speed. It quickly became my favorite movement power. Staff was amazingly fun too, but didn't mesh well with Mental Controlling.

Sirhc Dnomyar: Mental/Controller/Super Speed/Hand Blasts

Went for a similar to me looking head with an arcane style look.

Easily my perfect character. The abilities and attacks go hand in hand. It's alot of fun to juggle with Telekenisis then blast away with hand blasts. Currently my highest level at level 20.

Atma Weapon: Fire/Tank/Flight/Two-Handed


Look up Atma Weapon. You'll see the insipiration.

Wanted to try tanking, since finding a group spot as a controller got harder and harder as I leveled. So far, alot of fun.

Miaka Yuki (Sorcery, dual pistol) is now fully decked T1 healer gear and has 2 tier 2 + 2 raid weapon (97.1 dps)

Yeah, my brother has poked me to play this with him since he's pretty much quit WoW to play DC. I fiddled around with it, but with my raid times in WoW I just don't have much time to play. I did make a few chars for fun though-




The first one I modeled after my own facial features and eye color but since there really wasn't any facial sliders or the sort, I couldn't really fiddle with it too much. The second one was more of a throw to my avatar here, she was fun. The wings flapping as she flew was a nice touch.
I mean the graphics in the game are fantastic, but super-hero games just aren't my style. Oh and of course I made -


Cause how could I not? :awesome:

So did my first raid in DCUO this weekend. Ran it on my healer, Fnord.

We were full up on healers so ran as DPS.

Results:

#2 DPS (Yay! I dont even have any tier gear yer)
I learned that stuff in raids are more than a little bit rapey.

So as it stands I run with Hammer Corp. I understand it is one of the larger Leagues on the server Hero side and has some heavy RP and a few ongoing storylines as well. If anyone is interested in the group holler at me in game and I can get you in.

or you can join Abstergo Industries :) (that is where I am) we successfully raid Outer Cavern and Khandaq (got full tier 1 now) but having issues with inner cavern.
We don't RP as much (only a couple of players does) but we do help you gear up. The only downside is that we "test run" you with any instance to see how you perform (checking playing skill) before we accepts you.

Honestly if I had the time to dedicate to an MMO I would but as it stands my free time occurs during "off hours" for many people. Thats why I content myself with item farming and amassing massive amounts of wealth via the auction house (if you see a Cryotank for sale for 12k its probably me selling it) and roleplaying with the fun folk in the guild I am in :)

Jiarn

Roleplay and casual style sounds very much like me. I may give you a hollar when I can finally decide on a "main" -laugh-
