am most interested to find out what elec/elec looks like! I wanna look like a gremlin!

Gremlin Pah!

I wanna look like deathsurge

Dont feel bad I have seen other brutes kill team members, its just they dont do it as well as you

Sorry English is my first language but due to certain difficulties I have for me to try to express anything in words usually comes out wrong unless I have someone around to read over it for me before posting as a result I appologise for any confusion.

Fulcrum shift + full fury + rage +KO Blow = dead teamate

Even a dead granite team mate as has happened before now

I often team with three Brutes and playing as a defender is definately my best role whilst doing this.

No disagreement there - I chose /Kin purely to team up with brutes - the +ENDURANCE, +RECH +DAM works very well with them and in a team with one or more brutes there isn't time to do anything except buff them/debuff the mobs...

I chose Ice as I wanted to be able to solo "a bit". It came as a bit of a shock to me just how effective the combination was (for soloing).

THere is another you I have noticed 2 corruptors do when teamed with a certain brute and that is to stand as far as way from her as possible when fighting CoT as the brute killing there speed boost resource is not a good idea. THis does happen a lot with one brute killing more team members than they enemy

[ QUOTE ]
Though as a team leader I've sometimes asked an MM to send a pet in first against a big spawn as a sacrifice to take the alpha strike - especially if none of the Brutes could survive it (e.g. I know as a /Fire I struggle against the alpha of a spawn with more than 4 Nerva Spectrals in it) - not sure that counts as pet tanking though

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as there is no hero/AV/Gm in a spawn I will quite happily take the alpha strike in any team I am in(unless facing a lot of reds/purples). As a /FF MM I can quite happily TP into the centre of a big group with PFF running to take all the nasty aggro and then let the pets and other team members thin it out so it is managable. If there is no brute on the team and we need tanking I will always volenteer to do it. As a result of this I am considering getting provoke and 6 slotting it just to pull aggro when required - ie fire off provoke and then hit PFF.

MM's have the same as a corruptor think Dom's have slightly lower hp than these two but not sure. The Dom's I team with seem to die more than anyone else but thats by using aggro grabbing attacks so I dont know what their health is but almost definately Corruptors and MM's have same HP.

Post-26 - don't buff us, buff our big henchman (Lich, Oni, Commando, Assault Bot) as they'll get the most benefit from it.

[/ QUOTE ]

This definately applies to speed boosts. They always benefit from speed boosts as do teams if either there is little aggro grabbing capability or if you need the extra damage. The assult bot is a perfect example of this with incendary rockets that are basically an ignite attack per mob with in the attacks AOE range. Also most of the henchmen have low recharge rates so any recharge buffs are best applied to them instead of the person hiding behind them.

Can Doc reserve a place on the second respec if you run it tonight. Post a time when your doing it but failing that I should be on from about 7 ish.

[ QUOTE ]
As an MM remember you have by far the lowest hit points of any archetype, so if something tries to melee you remember to follow the example of Brave Sir Robin and "Run away!!!"

Note if you do this the theme song is not optional

My MM doesnt have a nova but I do get the nuke from Warburg quite often and as a result I created a bind this morning which is:

"Hi Ho, Hi Ho, a nuking I will go"

Does the bubble wrap come with a free nuke or do I have to pick up my own again?

Main global is @Dr E Genius

Seconday one is: @Cryo Unit MkVI

Can the Dr come along again please?

Should have leveled depending on when it is and I would love to see this again this time with me actually hurting something

Say try for about 8 pm (GMT) on the 17th Feb? Would that be ok for you lot if not suggest a different time and I will try to make that.

Do any heroes not have the handsome/beautiful badge as my main villain is in desperate need of this and still has scratches second mission uncompleted (the first would have stayed uncompleted if tailman hadnt been a bit idiotic).

So heres a polite request to help me earn this badge for my main villain if anyone will be kind enough to take me up on it. Thanks

Hi can you take the Dr off the list as I have managed to hijack a high lvl sf - the ice mistral one sorry.

[ QUOTE ]
you got to love mad scientists..........at least then the nukes point the other way

[/ QUOTE ]

I have already picked up my trusty nuke so the thorn tree will lose 1/10th of its health in 1 shot again

Woot I in.

I will bring along at least a nuke and maybe one of each rocket for the SF and any we dont use can go towards killing the thorn tree afterwards

I can give a few points on the Inv side.

1) Dont slot RPD until later, you will most likely have something more useful the slots can go in.

2) Dull Pain I find more useful than Temp Inv at sub DO's as the heal is still useful when unslotted for heals but the damage res is just an end drain.

3) Unyielding is one of your most important armours get it ASAP as when mezzed you cant SMASH.

4) Invulnerbility is good when in the middle of a big group. As a brute I wouldnt slot for taunt duration as you cant take the damage a tank can but do slot for to hit buffs. With rage you can get away with 1 Acc in all attacks.

Note on pool powers:

Stamina is a must. You can only smash when you have end and your toggles need end to run as well. No end will most likely result in a severe beating for you.

Get a travel power. On all my Inv tanks I went with CJ and SJ. SJ is great as it gives you straight line speed as well as vertical movement. CJ helps to move between mobs keeping your fury as high as possible.

Just my thoughts - these are from playing with mid lvl tanks and so other people may have more detailed advice for brutes that I dont.

PLease the Doc has hit 35 so it would be great if I can get an ivite to both depeneding on timing as I am probablt not going to be on until about 7 but I may bring a few rockets with me as a gift for any AV's we meet along the way

What lvl is the ice mistral one and can I join abd borrow a lackey or not?

I am up for it as I dont think Im doing anything on Wed unless flicknife decides to do a big respec grind but that may be after were finished anyway.

So sign Dr E Genius a lvl 35 MM up.

Maybe for pyra but not for me

I was refering to a case where there may have been a possible bug as several people have reported getting a badge by killing prisoners in breakout.

Not saying this was the case as I believe that the only badge is jail bird as stated by positron but people have reported getting a badge for killing prisoners and this is about the only one you could get unless by farming the pilot mish you can get the villain badge
