Madness' End

Poor old Thrullzon. I guess he just wasn't what Orcus was looking for to take over the world, when it came down to it.

Yes, this is me, your lovable furry friend Akmenos, finally back in my own skin. Thrullzon is, once again, history, so it's only fair that the last moments of his tale should have their telling, and who better to tell it than the

Glad to have you back bud. Now we can do some real adventuring. I am sick of saving Thrullzon's ass just to keep you safe. Also now we can do some real feasting. I definitely feel a feast coming on.

Mmmm.... Feast...

It'll be good to not constantly be at odds with the rest of the party. Akmenos has a few powers that profit from the sufferings of the party, but none that deliberately harm anyone else. Looking forward to compiling the Hexer paragon path, and building on the wizard cross class to get more group buffs.

Figure there's not much point in powers that give forced movement, because usually by the time I can play those you guys have the field locked up and don't like your targets being shoved around.

Fun times are coming.

Forced movement can be useful. I have 1 power that can force, and one power that can allow an ally to shift. Harkill has the best forced movement options with his minor action Divine Sanction and Slide. While I don't mind being surrounded, Harkill is better 1 on 1 and getting guys off Enna so she is free to move or Snowfoot to keep her safe is useful.

Group Buffs are useful too.

Thrullzon had a couple of powers that allowed him to push targets. That suited him cos he was a pushy bugger anyway. Usually when he got a chance to use it he did so just because he could, to demonstrate his power, rather than as a tactical move. Arrogant shite. Most often that tended to involve pushing targets out of your range and disrupting the battlefield. Not sure how we made it through a single fight with a spanner like that in the works.

Akmenos has that handy power that allows him to slide the target, and to sustain this as a minor. Slide is more useful than push or pull as you can choose the direction. So I'll look at slide powers if they crop up, but I think most of the ones I've been looking at are group buffs. The Hexer is sort of set up as a controller/striker, focused on wearing down the foe and making them more vulnerable. No more the glory hound, our Akmenos, but a team player.

If all goes well...
