Wow thats very cool. Sorry for my ignorance, just seemed odd, but hey there are plenty of things in CoH that are MUCH odder than that. Time for some major merits. Thanks to you all! Happy New Year!

I had a thought about doing this to as a Rambo hommage. Might be fun.

Signed on the Brute, may also wanna try a stalker. They solo story arcs so fast. you'll have a TON of merits and stealth anything w/out Rikti.

I c what you did there

Im not sure I understand.
So you run the Arc, dont finish the kill all and just let the timer run out? And you still get the merits? Don't you HAVE to kill all to finish the arc?

I think I might be able to solo AVs w/ my Stone/Fire as well. Stoney and Seer (patron) will take the damage (aid other will be necessary). In mids I was able to easily get the soft cap on defense thru "relatively" cheap IOs. Kicker is going to be trying to get perma-Domination as I'll only have 2 holds and one is AoE on long recharge. Hmmmm

Hilarious. Ive never tried a petless MM. Sounds fun. Wonder if it can solo AVs lol.

As a serious question, which Doms can solo AVs?

Difficult question. Depends on what you want to do. Ice ans Stone are nice because of the soft controls (KU/KD + Slows & -rech). Fire will get you offense. Thorns is decent mis of both offense and some control (immob). Psyc makes some sense thematically, and it also has decent secondary effects. Elec has a pet, which is nice (you could end up w/ 3 pets going Grav/Elec/patron. Nrg is mostly KB which can be used very effectively by a good player as soft control, but most of the time ends up being a pain in the you know where.

Just my 2 inf though. YMMV

Thanks all u Doms for ur help. I ended up rolling a Stone/Fire as well and got him to lvl 11 alrdy. Im more comfortable fighting from range as a Dom, which is easier with /Fire instead of /Stone. Would be gimping the set a little bit to make it a ranged set. Im probably gonna give them equal playing time and see which ones goes faster. Right now tho there is no comparison solo. Stone/Fire is kicking Fire/Stone ***. Haven't teamed yet tho as my new CPU is glitching on me on large teams.

Anyone have this combo and if so can you offer an hints or tricks? I just rolled this one yesterday (didnt play him yet just created & left in Aracnos Base for XP Day Job bonus). Looks like the damage will be pretty decent and w/ the secondary effects of Stone (KU/KD/KB) should be a decent control type. Thoughts?

I would say solo the easiest is the Overseer bosses. The other ones require a team or are full arcs. If ur a stalker the story arcs might be faster, but YMMV

Ok Ive been wondering how I monitor my defenses. I tried diggin thru the options menu but couldnt find it. Do you have a small window somewhere that shows it all the time?

Thanks for the info. I had debated going /Dark as well, but Ive alrdy done dark before. What do you think of Lightning Storm in this combo? It looks to me like solo it is awesome, especially when using the other AoEs from both sets.

If ur gonna drop Acro ( and I agree that you should) you may wanna get aid other as thr Triage beacon is not easy to use in my experience. I love nukes, and as this combo doesnt have a lot of toggles, I can see it easily being used. Looks like a good time, have fun!

Whats up fellow corruptors. Anyone with experience w/ this setup. Looks like a nice combo of soft and hard control, decent damage, and a heal (albeit a weak one). Will mostly team until late 20s, then might solo a bit. I don't see this able to drop AVs by himself (not enough damage) but I think I can help a team dramaticvaly w/ stacking ST Holds. Thoughts?

In the end, anyone who dislikes what others are doing can do whatever that want ingame according to the ToS to try and stop/mimick/harass RP'ers or anyone they want. Similar to real life, you can't really do anything to someone who is making fun of you... except make fun of them back (they always have something embarrassing to knock on) or beat some a**.

For this reason alone I wish there were duel in this game. Oh well.

I think I asked the question wrong. For sheer orange #s, what single powers puts up the most damage against even con mobs w/ equal resists? Whats the biggest orange number possible against even con mobs w/ equal resists?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks for answers though. I think ur on the right thought process tho.

I also can confirm fo truth. No Univ Travel IOs in swift, hurdle, or sprints. Sorry man.

A side question. Does anyone know what the highest damaging power in the game is for ST and AoE. I was thinking it was Total Focus (prob blaster version w/ build up, aim, assault, and I/Os). Probably a nuke for AoE right?

Ya I did some Mids research last night and the Elec/Invul is gonna be a wicked combo. Just trying to decide the AT. Probably end up going Brute or Scrapper as def/res is easier to slot for then damage is.

I understand ur stand point, I respectfully disagree. Small wall fo text forthcoming.
One could make the argument that this new Batman character (Bale) is changing ATs and powersets as he progresses in the story. Just off the top of my head Kat/WP, MA/Nin, MA/WP, MA/DA (new armor maybe). I definately think this current incarnation is more of a Rogueish Villain turning into the Epic Hero, especially given the ending to Dark Knight.
Its hard to argue the scrapper MA/XX Scraper as being most fitting thematically for most of the comic book and to some extent the TV/Movie versions of Batman. I believe the essence of Batman is not stand toe-to-toe with his foes and scrap it out though. Bats is a calculated predator (more similar to the Arkham Asylum Batman). He surprise attacks (assassin strikes) someone from out of the shadows and melds back into darkness unless all hell breaks loose, then he rolls his sleaves up and goes to town. Not his preferable method of battle, but something he can excell in.
In the end, its to each his own. But if trying to lock him into a specific CoX AT, Stalker seems to fit him better. But to each his own.
I'd love to take my Stalker vs ur Scraper PvP and see how is better. MUHAHAHA

yes while ranged KB on some squishies is nice, u dont need KB unless the mob is closing into melee to hit you, and in that case the melee KB/KU/KD will be better as most melee KB powers have a faster animation/activation than Ranged ones. But hey ur PoV may be different, and thats ok.
