Hi everyone,
I once had a character named Hells Army (Lvl 50 fire/bubble controller) whom was by far one of my favorite characters I've ever made (and I made A LOT). But what truly made him so great was the community he was associated with. Back in the day(pre multi pet nerf) there was once a Super Group for controllers... That Super Group was N-CONTROL! We were an all controller SG with an outstanding group of members. Sadly it disbanded due to the leader of the group getting his account hacked... Messy business...
BUT now we have an new and exciting opportunity to bring back to life the glory and awesomeness that was once N-CONTROL. A team with four controllers already made it a cake walk for most situations... But every so often when eight controllers would come together to combine their powers against foes... 'Twas a Thing of beauty and destruction!
Unfortunately since this group disbanded so long ago, the details and all the history on this SG has been lost. So this gives us a clean slate on which we can build a foundation and only the sky is the limit! (Or as high as you can go until you hit the in-game roof :P)
If you are interested in joining and building that foundation feel free to let me know! Also any ideas about the SG you want to throw my way go right ahead! I'm excited to have this opportunity and look forward to meeting everyone!
Cheers!
I also used to play with an all controller group. It was a lot of fun and I would love to be a part of one again. The controller equivalent in CoT is part of the commander classification and I think a team of commanders would be very interesting and fun.
I'd be happy to put a controller in your super group ! My fav I would use was an earth troller I would have them stunned locked down caged and bouncing around with earthquake in a sec followed by quicksand it was crazy then the fire trollers would come in and melt them away
I never played in an all controller team, much less an all controller SG. My main Blue side was an Earth/Storm controller named Cataclyzm and I loved him! My favorite was stunning them with stalagmites, aoe rooting, hurricane to gather, freezing rain to lower resistance, then Tornado for massive damage lol) Used to duo with a Fire/Fire Tank for massive Burnin' exp love.
I could just Imagine 8-10 of us locking/smashing several enemy groups at once (assuming we can, since in CoH there was a max of 16 targets we could "handle"). Count Cat in, if you'll have him. :)
Ya know, they say never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion hilarious. -Malcolm Reynolds
Hmm.. one of the CoT powersets for the Tanks should have something similar... but instead of Repelling... it ATTRACTS or pulls in foes like a Gravitational Anomaly. :) Then, i wouldnt mind KnockBacks As Much! ;D
Ohh A controller powerset could have something similar, but instead of Pulling to oneself, pick a spot on the group and launch that AoE power that did the same thing as noted above. :)
Sorry for the Off Topic post. :)
Knockbacks didn't bother me much. One of the great things about aoe root and root was the inherent negative knockback. Apply aoe root, then hurricane or any other knockback power wouldn't work most of the time. After I gathered them with hurricane and started my Tornado, I would usually apply another aoe root to keep them planted. :-)
I guess you'd have to see it in person to show the full effect. Hopefully, if CoT has similar powersets and mechanics, I can showcase it when we team! Can't friggin wait!!!

Ran with a group on Justice called Element Earth. The whole supergroup consisted of Earth controllers and when we ran it was often multiple Earth/Storms with other secondaries rounding out the group. Many an encounter was a glimpse of the mob before things vanished under a cloud of effects only to briefly reveal a boss surrounded by 6 or more "Rocky's" as they obliterated him. Or in our early levels the hilarity of circling Perez Park and as a group using multiple Gales slotted with procs to make a mess out of Skulls and Hellions.
