DC Universe Online - The Striker Z™ Way: The Art of Gadget Controlling: Part II

This is Part 2 of my 2-part series for my fellow Unlimited Knights league members who wanted each of us to teach one another how to play your role. Some people chose to write something, I chose to make a video. So thanks go out to the league founders for allowing me the opportunity to bring this idea to fruition. This video showcases how everything discussed in Part I is put to use during a raid. Not as long and in-depth as I would have liked, but this video serves as a great conclusion to Part I when watched back-to-back.

This took me longer to edit and the 5 minute intro is a testament to my OCD-like editing process. I kept finding stuff to fix, add, or remove. Ra is an East Coast band I happened upon in 2002 at Best Buy because of their Egyptian Sun God name. Kamelot I came across while searching for progressive rock here on YouTube and instead got Progressive Metal. I own every album they have put out and definitely are a band I go to the store and buy CD's of versus digital downloads - sorry iTunes and Zune.
I would also like to thank each record company for allowing me to use their artists' music for my "how to" video under the United States Copyright Act, Title 17, Sections 106 and 106A.

@Murlockingqc: same thing my wife asked after hearing that song for 2hrs one day while I edited this. I was then forced to use headphones or suffer through a weekend of watching Sex & The City. Trust me, the new video series will have shorter intros like Part 1.

[Murlockingqc]

You suck, boss is not debuffed.

[Murlockingqc]

5 MIN INTRO??? ARE YOU SICK IN DA HEAD!!!

[MrVenomwolf]

@bahumit12 Lol yep dont have much power to use

[bahumit12]

@ChrisRod9583 Realistically, I run battery and debuff. I have tried running all debuff but have yet to to find another controller who runs strictly battery.

[bahumit12]

@ChrisRod9583 I digress. DPS can replenish their engergy faster than a tank can and a good tank - yes I use tank as well - knows how to hold aggro without using all thier energy up from spamming attacks. Worse offenders are Fire Tanks since their some of their abilities use 15% - 25% of their energy. The healer, to me, is the most important because if they cannot heal then everyone dies.

@ChrisRod9583 Thank you for compliment. As far as a video on truly Controlling....I am working on a script and should hopefully start vid-capping within the following week(s).

[ChrisRod9583]

@bahumit12 Thats good. It is a great little tool for people just starting. I'd be very interested to see what you have to say when it comes to really controlling the field. And your right, controllers are not DPS. YOU HERE THAT PEOPLE! STOP TRYING TO BE THE TOP OF THE DMG OUTPUT TABLE AND START DOING YOUR JOB!!! Sorry, I got a little carried away. Anyway, I do video editing for a living and you did a great job at the beginning of the video. Keep up the good work.

[ChrisRod9583]

@terrinisawesome Spamming full auto is not going to be enough to refill your energy. Also your primary concern should be the tank or DPS, it should be the healer's energy bar.

[ChrisRod9583]

@terrinisawesome I kinda agree with you. But if he is playing strictly as a battery then he does a great job. I'm assuming the second controller is the one who is controlling the field. Not sure though because I never really saw debuffs on the enemies info bar. As a controller you should always be debuffing enemies, especially the boss fights. Also as a controller not only are you responsible for the teams energy but you are responsible for your own as well.
