Sorry I didn't post earlier but congratulations mate. It has been a lot of fun - glad I was there for the 5-0 mate.

Gratz Jum, sorry I couldn't be there last night. By the way, Punch says you can keep the speedoes, orange underpants are teh uber.

Congratulations to my brother for getting his 3rd Level 50 toon - Miss Directed - The long Suffering Drug Dealer of Hawaiin Punch... Gratz bruv - here's to the next one!

Congratulations mate. It's a shame that your work pattern has prevented me from teaming with you more over the last few months, but I have to say it has always been a privilege to have you on the team - and that counts from way back in the Hollows with Braindead. Enjoy the next one and I'll see you soon I hope.

I'll put advance notice up here, too. I'd *like* to get Aiag to 40 on the final Kronos Titan mission with at least 2 full teams pummeling the big lump of scrap into the ground.

Nuff said.

I'd say you are pretty close though mate. I have been doing one level a night with Punch, and I will be staying on as the Orange One for as long as necessary to get everyone to the level they want...

Congratulations Lifey! Glad I was there for the final push. I have a feeling there are going to be lot of these posts this week, never mind I7 villains; Miss Directed, Miss Sparkz, Mirage Maiden, Sunrod, Aiag (Gasp!) and Odyssey are all within sight of the finishing line...

Erm... *scared now* OK... whatever you say, I promise! Just step away from the collection of rusty scissors and blunt spoons please, I'm starting to sweat...

grats on you second (?) 50 dude..

>_< You coulda waited for pink.. that's the second time I missed it!

Sorry mate - It was a shame that both you and Lifey missed it. I will have to make sure you are around for the 3rd!

Just like to say a big thank you to all the players that were there this evening to help MBar and me get the ding. I look forward to helping out with the rest of this batch of Darkwings (and Precision Rangers) hitting 50. The magic orange underpants are at your disposal folks - thanks again.

Good point Li, but as I may not be on earlier in the evening tonight I wanted to give the gang a heads up so they wouldn't get into a TF/Respec etc... if they wanted to join me that is .

The other reason is I have been teaming regularly with more than 7 people and if they are all on I would like to get them all into the final mission if possible...

I am hoping to do the last couple of bars with Punchy tonight and would just like a show of hands from the guys I have been teaming with regularly.

I will be on from 8.15 BST, the whole thing should only take 2-3 missions and I will be concentrating on the Maria Jenkins arc...

So please let me know if you are available tonight below...

I will be automatically reserving a spot for Miss Directed and after that the Darkwings SG guys I have been teaming with the most will be given priority.

Hopefully see you tonight .

Green Jet has only ever had 2 travel powers - Flight that was respecced into Super Jump at around Level 24 I think.I guess someone else ran past really really fast in Green and White .

Solo is not an option with this character - but then I never intended him to be. Small teams without buffs are fine as long as the other team members can stand me whinging about the lack of Speed Boost!

Hurdle was only chosen to help with a slight amount of vertical movement on Super Speed, My "serious" travel power is Teleport.

If the Math on Granite is taken from Hero Planner I think the end cost calculated for it is incorrect, I honestly dont have a problem with endurance dropping during combat - I think the only time it gets even close to being compromised is when I have to TP a lot in a single combat - and that does not happen very often at all.

Thanks for the input! I realise that the last 2 powers are entirely frivolous but I really haven't had much problem on the control/aggro side of things so far and I really just wanted a bit of fun with those choices (I have never tried Superspeed before!); as for the endurance issue - I can honestly say that I have had no problems (even without Speed Boost) - the other mitigating factor I guess is once I have gone in, taunted the mobs, consolidated the aggro and the rest of the team has let loose, I usually only have time for one or two cycle of attacks! I guess the guys I team with regularly have been carrying me all this time...

I've also thought of a name: "Not in the face."

[/ QUOTE ]

An excellent name. Here's a few more because I am bored at work...

Chuck No-Risk

The Facilitator

Arthur Pewtey

Horace Wimp

The Conscientious Objector

[color=green]As I am now on the last 9 bars before SL 50, I thought I would post my proposed respec build. I should explain that before anyone gets the knives out that this tank is designed for PVE teaming and standard tactic PVE tanking. I also have the luxury of having at least one kineticist on the team almost all of the time for the distribution of lovely lovely Speed Boosts! The Superspeed and Hurdle are in there purely for fun as the rest of my choices were all team orientated, I thought I would be selfish with a couple of power choices .

So, any comments or criticism are most welcome.

P.s. I realise this doesn't come anywhere close to Rook's Ultimate Stone Tank Build, but we do what we can...

It looks interesting and vaguely silly - which is something I am all for, Animal. Just out of interest how do you intend to level this toon? Or will you respec this build in afterwards?

Would the possible use of Warrior's Challenge from your primary assist in aiding others, or is that too "In your face" for this build?

Keep up the good work.

Will do Swat, and feel free to do likewise. I have teamed with a few Rangers over the last couple of weeks - Sunrod, Miss Sparkz, Jumanjionic, Frozen Rogue & Deluge... If you have anything in the late 40 level range let me know and maybe we can team

Ah! So you are Bilharzia, Filth! You may not remember, but thanks for the fun in RV last week. Don't suppose you know who the Stalker "Smirk" is do you? I had a great cat and mouse game with him that night...

If the time of day can be put back a little I will be able to come along, with either Green Jet (scrapper) or Hawaiin Punch (tank - who will be 50 by then). I would also like to investigate the abandoned Crey Facility unless this has already been exhausted as an area of research?

SR is also very useful against Psionic attacks.

An extremely squishy Hawaiin Punch reporting for duty.

Welcome back Dogg. IIRC I teamed with you in The Hollows when you were first starting out with your Scrapper. I'm pretty sure you wont remember me (It was an alt - Cardinal Syn) but welcome back anyways. You need any help, drop me a line @Green Jet.

Will be good to see you back mate. Arresting seven bales of [self censored] out of them bad folk with your trusty blade of much whomping.

Eeek! This I guess is what happens if you don't use smileys in your posts... . I would really hate it if people thought I was in any way getting serious! In the spirit of my first post in this thread I was being a little bit sarcy and nothing more. I certainly wasn't doing the Forum equivalent of Z-list celeb shouting in a Maitre D's face saying loudly "Do you know WHO I AM?" when they can't get a table.

Just to clarify, I am noone special. There is absolutely no reason why Terra or Swat or any other of these fine people should have heard of me, I have been playing the game and sticking to my own teams (much in the same way as Swat described) for the last year or so. There is probably only about a dozen people who post on these forums that I have ever teamed with.

The Green Jet is not famous, or Uber or Elite or anything. He is a reasonably well balanced scrapper who I have enjoyed playing for quite a while. He is not the first to do anything ingame and he never will be.

Regarding the tendency for us all to be a bit insular Swat, I'll try and say hi the next time you are on Team Speak (IIRC, I have seen you pop up on the server a few times )

And finally, I sincerely apologise for any contribution I have made to derailing this thread; it was just an innocent hello from a regular forumite and I went and stuck my nose in. So sorry and... as you were.

I must be. I mean, Terra's never even heard of me.
