Mgo,

I've got my illusion controller up to lvl 23 now. I've got hasten 6 slotted. Do you remember how you had PA slotted? I've currently got 3 slots in it. Two for Recharge and One for Damage. Any suggestions?

I started with 2 recharge and 4 damage, but eventually moved it to all damage (I also had accelerate metabolism from the radiation secondary, which speeds up recharge rate). For PA, damage is illusion at first, but all additional damage isn't illusion, meaning it doesn't go away (from enhancements or inspirations you take before you cast PA). I found that the damage was nicer (especially for soloing) than the recharge, they pack more of a punch that way. When teaming you might want them to recharge faster, because they tank more, rather than depend on damage.

Re: Slotting Phantom Army

I really get anoyed with PA.

First, they con purple, and confuse the hell out of me. When I have Fire Shield, Blazing Aura, and Burn running it's mighty hard to see. I use mouse targeting, and they often mess me up.

Second .... it just bugs me having a power do my job. Tanking is man's work.

Thanks. With Decieve and SW I can definately solo. (Although it takes forever.) The Damage idea sounds good especially if I have to take out a +1 LT or a Boss.

Don't worry Ulster, they will never replace you. They only stay out a minute and their damage doesn't compare to burn

But since you aren't there all the time they will have to do.

decieve helps a lot i bet...also blind/flash can help you keep some held while you kill others...never used decieve though, well I tried it a little on a new char and didn't really like it. How do you like it?

From what I can remember Ulster usually only stayed alive for about a minute as well

All of this talk has me really close to re-upping my aco****. I am just not sure if I can get away from WoW. Lately I have been working on a Warlock and just dinged 24 last night.

I understand, scrappers sometimes don't like the knockback either...

oh, "Rogues do it from behind"

those PA boys slay me sometimes

I love it. It is a power that I can use as a starter. If I miss, the mob doesn't even know I'm there. It does decrease the amount of xp you get per defeated foe, but the decrease is minimal. It's funny as hell to use it on a boss and see him one shot his minions around him. It is also good as a secondary hold. If a boss is by himself I can hit him twice and presto...He's held. With the bonus of him not knowing you are there. It really helps me solo.
