A better controller test?

terryclothThat is, a team where I was able to affect the critters we were fighting.
Everything was nerfed -- earthquake, volcanic gasses, even salt crystals and lingering radiation. I think the immobilize had its accuracy reduced, but that might be my imagination -- it's not something I used to use much, but containment and the 'stop 30 firbolgs' mission made me break it out this time too.
Earthquake is up about half the time. Six slotted with recharge, I could make it almost perma (because to get it up half the time I need AM and hasten, meaning it's already at a 1/2 ratio and I need to change that to 1/4), but it would suck then because it would have no slots left for acc redux. I'll put at least a few in it, though. Unless I respec out of it completely.
VG is up about half the time. Six slotted with recharge, I could make it almost perma, but it would suck then because it needs acc enhance and hold duration to do anything at all, comments on the messageboard notwithstanding.
The messageboard also said salt crystals hadn't been touched. They lied. It's up about half the time, now, so six slotted with recharge I could make it almost perma, which is pointless because it needs *two* accuracies. I can alternate it with earthquake, solo, and that sort of works for the battles where VG isn't up and there's too many to just fossilize them all.
Lingering Radiation is in pretty much the same boat -- up about half the time, with AM and hasten. It's definately not worth six-slotting. I'm not sure it's really worth *taking*, now. Over Radiant Infection, that is, which would be up all the time and mostly replace earthquake.
Still, we did just fine fighting greens to yellows that had no significant ranged attacks and were all ground bound and homogenous. Those are the easiest kind of enemies to manage, though.
Argh. I made 31, and put a slot in stone cages (for more acc) and two more in earthquake (for more recharge). That gives me something like five powers four-slotted (foss, flurr, aura, vg, quake) which means that as much as possible I want to avoid picking up more stuff that needs slots, because anything you're going to four-slot should really be six-slotted. Too bad the next power is my *pet*, which gets all the slots it can eat. }:) But that means that I won't take stalactites at 35, prolly. Assuming I ever get to 35.
I eventually quit after suddenly lagging out twice in quick succession. That's never happened before -- not twice in a row, at least. It did happen once before. The first time it happened right we rescued the guy in a rescue the guy mission, and the second was right after I rejoined the team doing the mission. Hope it's not a persistent bug.
Inside my future eye, what I see just makes me cry.
I'm way down now. I'm way down now.
The clocks will all run backwards, all the sheep will have two heads,
and thursday night and friday, will be on tuesday night instead.
And the times will keep on changing, and the movement will increase.
There's something 'bout this livin', babe, that knocks me off my feet.
And they're breeding in the sewers, and the rats are on their way,
clouding up the images of my perfect day.
And I know I'm not alone, and I know I'm not alone,
And I know I'm not alone....
