I'm fucking bored out of my skull. Today is one of those days where I have to stay back late to work, and while they ask me to come in at 11am, my work really starts only at 5pm. I have to be somewhere at 4.30pm to set up for 5pm, and right after that, I have to rush over somewhere else to set up for 6pm, and after that, 7pm, I can shut my brain off and have dinner.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to survive the afternoon. It's fucking only 3.50 something now, and I hate this part of the day. It's not in my biological nature to be active at this time of day. I'm like one of those lions, that given a choice, would prefer to snooze the afternoon away and be active in the wee hours of the morning.
Such a goddamn waste of time. I'm trying to be constructive by braving an ice-cold computer lab and trying to sort out the accumulated files of three years (= one giant fucking mess.)
Well, the phone just rang, and someone wanted to swap duties with me. So now I -don't- have to be somewhere at 4.30pm, which is a relief, in that I really feel too grumpy and moody to do a good job, though that means I have to do a bit more on another day - but the other day is pretty empty also, which is okay.
Of course, this means I get to be officially BORED until 6pm. Lol. On the bright side, I am already sitting where I am supposed to be at 6pm, so I can bask in total mindless fucking boredom until 6pm, unless I feel like buying McDonald's for dinner before that.
I'm tired of looking through the CoH boards. Which is indicative of a serious problem. :) I might go back to the ReaperMini boards and think about some mini painting again. I think I just need some more recreation time. Lol.
Kinda ironic when you consider I've had enough time to get Malentis to level 37 - celebrated by buying all his SOs and having some influence left over. Might still leave him out of SG mode so that I can get some inf to hand me down to my other babies.
And I made a necro/poison mm today, on Freedom, when I told myself I would do one of every AT but MM. Haha.
Well, it turns out that I'm still fighting with myself when it comes to corruptors - don't really have a team buffage mindset, or rather I feel both useless and put upon because people insist on 'driving' my AT ... "HEAL PLZ" = internal hate response of stfu and so on.
You never hear them yell AS pls, or tank pls, or shoot pls, or HOLD pls - with the exception of one particular brute who kept repeating HOLD THE AV every time I played with her => As much as I liked her as a friend, I wanted to shove the steering wheel over her head, NO, I'm NOT HOLDING THE AV AS MY FIRST REACTION BECAUSE I REALLY REALLY WANT TO SHOOT THE AV AND GET MYSELF PWNED BY HER BLASTS BY ATTRACTING AGGRO.
Of course my first reaction is to fire off dom and hold the fucking av. No need to tell me what to do. I do it every time I come to the end boss, and every av we came across. Why waste your damn breath? If it's not being held, you might wanna get a damn clue and look for those nasty purple arrows because chances are, they're up and the AV has colossal mez resist I can't combat even with dom's magnitude. But the icy immob around the AV's feet might give you a hint that I'm spamming my controls for all they're worth anyhow. :/
Bloody back seat drivers. Same thing why I'm so afraid of playing defs or corruptors. I know one day one of the morons is gonna piss me off so bad, I erupt like a volcano on them or something. :P
I've never told people how to drive their AT, hell, I grit my teeth and try to ignore non-tentacle immobilizes flashing across my ice slick - I figure, they should get the aggro anyway. :)
The closest I've ever gotten is by begging for a heal during a respec (one single instance - urgent and important in this case because everyone was recovering from a teamwipe, and I was the sole standing tank amusing the skyraiders, and should I fall = massive teamwipe and mission failure, and the def/troller was tending to the fallen and so were not quite concentrating on me until reminded that I needed juuust a little help until dull pain recharged.)
And the most prescriptive I've ever gotten is to try and teach people how to pull. And only AFTER observing that their pulling method consists of shoot random blast (preferably at boss, lt. if not possible) and stand there to get anally raped by the entire crowd of mobs. I try to mention then that staying out of line of sight might be a good idea. :P
But anyway, after running around on my lowbie corruptor I found I was still fond of the rad blasts if leery of teaming, and so I decided to keep him. I deleted off the lowbie dark/dark def instead - same powerset on the corr - and the AR blaster with a terrible costume.
So that opened two slots, which I saved for one mm and one more dom. *insane giggle*
I still want fire imps, but I'm finding that the controller still tests my patience, standing from range and shooting attacks has never been much my style, so I'm gonna try reaching for it on the dom. I can always run up and incinerate stuff and fire breath things to hell when I get antsy. Go fire/fire. Should be an interesting counterpoint to ice/energy. I'm thinking fire/fire will be more like a fire blapper with minimal control options because I decided to skip the immobs, and so all I will have is one ST hold, one flashfire, one cinders and that's pretty much it besides imps.
As for the necro/poison mm, I'm finding I kinda like it. I rather like the melee mm's, though the ninjas were a little crazy. The zombies are slower and more tank-like, in a weird sort of way, they attack slower, imo. Poison gives me single-target debuffs to 'spam' so I feel dominatory, and I get to play cheesy emp healer with alkaloid and my lil zombie minion. It -is- very harsh on the end bar, and I'm thinking of slotting end redux when I can. I'm not gonna give any emp a run for their money, for sure, but I'm sure some people will still yell about the healing thing. Screw 'em. :P In the first place, I'm gonna be careful of teaming because of the lag issue, my vid card still grinds to a halt with two mm's in the party.
I'm finally feeling rather balanced out on Freedom. Total alt count is now 5 heroes -1 tank, 1 scrapper, 1 def, 1 troller, 1 warshade. Villains number 7 - 2 doms, 2 brutes, 1 corr, 1 mm, and 1 stalker.
