[COH] Don't wanna jinx it...

I have this tendency to roll up Controllers, play them to level 5 or 6, and then forget they exist for a month and wind up deleting them for some other thing that tickles my fancy. That being said, I made a new Controller on Virtue that I'm enjoying for now. Mind/Empathy, has the first three Mind powers (Mesmerize, Lift, and Dominate) and Healing Aura and that's it. All slots into the Primary for damage right now. She can three or four shot pretty much all minions right now, it just takes forever. She can also keep pretty much any three enemies dazed and drooling for an entire fight. Well, until her end bar runs out anyway.

I sorta fiddled with a build for her, but not sure how it will all play out. I want to go minimal on the Emp part of her build, because I don't want her to be a "healer" per se. She'll be a very good backup healer, but not a primary by any stretch of the imagination. She will eventually pick up Heal Other and the true core EMP buffs (Clear Mind, Fortitude, Recovery Aura, Adrenaline Boost), but my focus with her is on her Controls.

That's kinda why I picked Empathy. I wanted her to be able to heal herself, but not have a Secondary with so much going for it that I'd feel guilty for glossing over it. I don't think I'll ever be able to play a /kin Controller, for example, for this very reason.

So, anyrate, new Controller. Her name is Psychademica. She's all pink and catsuity and has purple hair. And she's a Science origin character. My first in over six months...

I like this one, so I'm doing it, but I'm not taggin anybody. EVERYONE on my reading list is a huge dork, and y'all know it already. :-p

**List 5 reasons you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud of how big a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the same. **

1) My excitement about getting TiVo is directly proportional to the fact that Firefly is currenlty being shown on SciFi and I am now going to actually see it all. :-p

2) I have more gaming books in my apartment than most major bookstores have in their entire store. Heck, I've been to several hobby shops that have fewer gaming books than I do.

3) I geek out about buying seasons of Buffy and Angel and Highlander on DVD. And not just in a "look at my new toy!" kind of way but in a "let's plan a weekend where a bunch of us can get together and watch episodes and discuss at length the major themes of these shows!" kind of way.

4) I own Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry. In a very similar vein, I own the first season of Charmed. In a very similar vein, I own Kindred: The Embraced. In a very similar vein, I want Dracula: The Series to come out on DVD. Bad/kitschy fantasy/horror. Go fig.

5) I am known by many people on the internet by the name of a character that was conceived as RuPaul as a specialist wizard in the school of Cosmotology. If you can't figure that one out, then you are far less of a dork than I.
