Mental Illusion Controller - Serious Aggro Issues

[Nonickname231]

Is Illusion better or Telekinesis I cant decide. They acctually play a bit diffrent roles looking at their skills. A advice would be nice.

And I just wanted to say How addicted I am to the game

[ChristianNYC]

My character is a controller, what I want to know is should I use hand blasters or a weapon? What is better??

Illusion <3

[fastdude4ever]

On any of the mental trees is there a healing spell? Iconic, telekinesis, illusion

[DCUinsider]

Tanks get aggro from taunt (abilities), not damage. What is BARFS dominance? I play

a fire tank with around 460 dominance. I dont have much trouble holding aggro, just sometimes against Ra's al ghul. I spam immolation, flashpoint, backdraft works great for generating threat.

Your using hand blaster and getting too close, your not a tank so back away.

[WantToKnowEvreything]

Belive it or not, because of this video i just had to make a Mental. And it's already my 5th character.... Lol

[islushyyy]

hey what is mental good for can you bee dps?

[TrueKnuckleSandwich]

@islushyyy No, mental is terrible at dps. If you want a dps controller use gadget, throw a mortar strike then press the buttons to do a joker bomb while the animation from the mortar strike is still going.

the first mental illusion level 30 game play out there

[TrueKnuckleSandwich]

@moneyboyok na that was me day 1

I play a lvl 30 illusions controller and looking at your bar I see you aren't packing Grandeur. It will drop aggro like a rock and makes for a great tanking/escape button with the temporary invincibility buff. Drop one of your terror skills (pick one, aoe or single target, don't take both) and pop grandeur whenever you pick up aggro or after a power dump and you will have no problems.

[vargatoo]

@IceKarma Sadly, that's incorrect. At the time of this video Grandeur did nothing. As assumed at the time, we found today confirmation that this was a bug with Phantom Blades.

From today's patch notes:

"The use of Psychic Blades will no longer cause your target to focus solely on your character."

This was solidly a bug with the games code, but fortunately it's been fixed now.

@vargatoo I still couldn't see the illusions fully... where were they? lol

[smileypsycho]

your doing it wrong, you gotta give the tank time to grab aggro, there are no taunts for fire and ice, they get aggro from damage.

[vargatoo]

@smileypsycho Several of the abilities used by Fire are indeed taunts. There is no "just a taunt" skill to my knowledge but Fire does possess the ability to taunt and what this video shows if that when used in conjunction with a Mental controller there are obvious issues. Further, if it is just damage based agro then surely at some point while I was just blocking my tank would have taken it back as you can see he never let up his assault on the boss.

@vargatoo dude you bad you guys have 2 trollers and you dont even have power transfer ability soo quit complaining about agro and fix your bar you bk
