I have been thinking we do TT on the US servers every Tuesday why not do another one on every sat for the EU servers. Every week we will do it on a dif server just like on the US servers. I would like your feed back on this idea if possible.
-
I guess the global channels are down? so dose that mean no one can really get a team together for the new trials?

Quote:I usally auto complete that mish.Originally Posted by DocAmp
Yup, Going Rogue already purchased and on my account. I'm unsilenced in JFA2010, and I'll get in to Justice United tonight. I'll need to get a team for the Incarnate unlocking chain, there's no way I'll be able to beat the Honoree/Vanguard mission. Two EBs at once = dead Doc.
Now I need to figure out if my SG is going to be active at the same time as me, or if I need to search out a more time zone appropriate pasture. -
Problem u will have as a stone tank will be your recharge once u get into granite your recharge would be slowed way down unless u compensate it with some increase recharge, you will also move very slow if u have granite running with Rooted, little bit faster with just granite. U will not be able to use any travel power whilst in either root, or granite but TP.

Quote:I have never had that problem when there is more then 1 tank on the team, but I have had that problem when someone used either a fear, or confuse on him though.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Okay, pretty much what everyone else said. HOWEVER, there are occasions (like fighting Romulus in the last mission) where multiple sources of elevated aggro can cause the Romulus AI to freak out. On one of the Tanker Tuesdays, we had a situation where Rommy broke contact and sprinted off to the front of the map.
Why?
Some people HATE that kind of thing and go out of their way by perpetuating the "more tanks not needed" meme. -
Like stated above the 2 main global channels, and if u do join them ask a MOD of said channels to unsilence u if they have not.

Quote:Taunt is for losers? I totally disagree with that statement. Secondly I mentioned we had not Tank on the team so the brutes stepped up. Granted Brutes are not as tuff as a tank, but we got it done anyway.Originally Posted by UberRod
I've not really noticed this at all. I agree that there is a bit of a conflict between Brutes and Tanks.
But yeah, I can see where one could have the sentiment that, well, we already have one tank, why do we need another, unless the first tank doesn't know how to tank, didn't take taunt (because taunt is for losers), is a tool, and somehow expects to tank Recluse... But I digress. -
There is 1 thing lot of ppl are forgetting is the fact that Tanks are supposed to keep the Aggro now I know there has been many cases as of late where the tank dose not take taunt for it is a farmer tank (AE FARMS BLA). Now have that tank on a team with those other types on it and u have a dead team, now if u have 2 tanks to keep aggro u will have a better chance of surviving. I just did a STF with no tank but I was on my brute and another person was on there brute, I was the lead Brute/tank u might say (manly I had taunt and the other didnt) when we went up against the 4 AVs we tried to pull 1 at a time failed missarably but I taunted GW away whilst the rest of the team finished off scicarro. Now picture it with a tank with no taunt what would happen then? That is why sometimes it is better to have 2 or ore tanks to cover 1 another. Its like the trials U would not could not see only 1 tank on a BAF or Lambda could u? Who is the lead tank then?

Quote:Well the point is for us to have fun, but also learn more on how to tank, but it is not always lvling a lower lvl tank, there has been a few all tanker trials and TFs, including Mo runs (mostly on Justice). I have seen Scrappers who think they can tank go down real fast.Originally Posted by New Dawn
Yet all tanker tuesdays offer the possibility of someone leveling a tanker with no one to tank for. I never got the idea of it, it's something I wouldn't even be seen dead in. I completed an all scrapper STF before someone from the scrapper section ever did to kill two birds with one stone, 1) to prove that if I can do it with a scrapper, then as eggs is eggs I could of done the all tanker version and 2) not have to be seen in an all tanker team. So the all scrapper STF got done before the all tanker purely because I hate teamin with other tankers if I am tanking. Scrapper teams failed till someone with a totally tank mindset changed AT and done it for them just because they would never be seen dead tanking for tanks.

Quote:Like said before the leader dose not know how to lead becouse if a person wanted to play a tank then I say let them play a tank or anything else they want to. And I would quit as well but before I do I would tel them about the other times when I have been on teams with more then 1 tank.Originally Posted by Zandock
All this tells me is that you're not a team player. If someone asks you to switch because it would be beneficial to the team, there's no reason to get all huffy about it.
As for the subject at hand, I usually won't care if I happen to get two tanks on my team, just because most content in this game is so easy. I do know that usually any spot on the team taken by a Tanker could be better used by another AT, though, and if given a choice between a Tank or something else it isn't really a hard decision. -
Quote:only on the ones that u have a lvl 50 for though, but yes it is a lot of fun.Originally Posted by kangaroo120y
Rofl yes. i quite enjoy my all tanker task forces on tanker tuesdays
sometimes it too easy
with incarnate goodies, its even easier O.O!!

Quote:I believe the sutter TF needs holds I tried an all Tank team on that but we failed for the guy kept TPing all over the place. But back to the topic, I did a ITF where I was on my WP/SS tank and a friend was on another tank and on last mish we decided to split the teams up to go down both sides it went faster and smother then if we just went down 1 side. I have also been on oher TFs where there was 2 tanks and team split up to kill the baddies on a kill all mish it goes dy lot faster i believe. But I do agree, if I am on a team and they are telling some one else they do not need you becouse of the archetype your on i say well in that case i guess you do not need me. I am a firm believer that you can get any TFs done ith out relying on certain archetype, I have seen all Troller MoITF witch I got the badge for, an all Blaster MoITF with 69 deaths (yes we finished but did not get the badge), and many all tank TFs, as well as an all cor/def ITFs, and trollers ITF. I think that person was just being silly.Originally Posted by Syntax42
This is exactly right. The ONLY (*8-man) TF that requires certain ATs is LGTF, as far as I know. In case you aren't aware, it requires the ability to reliably stack at least 8 magnitude of holds on the green mitos. In any other TF, just about any combination of people can complete them at a decent pace.
It doesn't sound like the OP's team was going for a speed-run. If they were, they would want two tankers to gather mobs faster. A speed run is the only other time where being selective about who you bring is advantageous. Any other time, it is better to just go with what you can get than to wait a half hour for someone else to join. -

Quote:If I can get a mod to post it hint hint.Originally Posted by destiny_morna
Oh, this will be fun! I remember that one year, I bought sneaky prophet and made him get me the MoSTF badge! Fun times!!
Freedom has always had good participation on these character auctions--in attendance, bidders and people willing to be auctioned off (even whole SGs! Some lucky toon bought the J-force one year!).
Spreading the word will be key since I bet that a very small percentage read the forums. Everyone is hanging out in Pocket D for the trials lately, so that would be a good place to post it...and of course, the motds of the various global channels (except there are so many of them on freedom!)
See you there--I'll be bidding!! -
Quote:Ya my tank for my fire/fire tank is on one as well, btw u might want to up grade your mids to have the fitness pool be inherit powers instead of getting them. Also u might want to lose acro since it eats lot of end and u can compensate the KB pro with other IOs that can also help with your def. Taunt is very handy even with a fire tank I believe, I know there is some out there who dose not like taunt in certain builds but they do come in handy even if your soloing. Also it is fun to tank hami on my fire/fire tank.Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
I suggest you take a look at a few of the threads I found by searching the Tank Forums. They're all Fire/Fire tanks and approach things a little differently. Find a build in there that seems close to your liking and play with it a little in Mids. See if you can get closer to what you're wanting to do, and bring the build here. You'll even find my current build in one of those threads. If you haven't already, take a look at Grey Pilgrim's Guide: The Wall of Fire (Fire/Fire) and the Four Rules of Tanking

The P.E.R.C. Player Auction is coming... Auctionees needed!
So, what's going on?
P.E.R.C. is gearing up to host a Player Auction on Freedom! For those of you who aren't familiar with what a Player Auction is, it's a...
1) ...Chance for the community to get together and have fun!
2) ...Way to earn or win some awesome IOs and influence!
3) ...Opportunity to buy time with Paragon Studios employees Beastyle and Zwillinger!
4) ...Good time to help P.E.R.C. generate funds for future player events!
How does it work?
The basic format is this: A player volunteers to have themselves auctioned off. At the event, other players place bids on them. The person with the highest bid gets 4 hours of the auctionee's time (either all at once or in smaller chunks; whatever is mutually agreeable) and the two of you do whatever the buyer wants... So long as it's within the EULA, of course. 25% of the winning bid goes to the auctionee, 25% goes to P.E.R.C. and 50% goes into a special jackpot used at the end of the night for a prize drawing.
I want to be an auctionee!
First, make sure that you can commit to 4 hours total play time with the person that buys you. This can be a single 4 hour session, two 2 hour sessions, four 1 hour sessions, or whatever will work for both parties. You'll need to be able to do this within 1 - 2 months after the auction or desired time frame worked out by both parties. As an auctionee, you don't need to be present on the night of the auction either; we'll still sell you even if you're out of town! Players will receive their 25% of the winning bid.
I want to donate (even though I don't have any influence)!
In addition to auctionees, we're looking for those who are willing to donate items or services. 25% of the proceeds from these sales will go to the player donating the item/service, and the remaining 75% will go towards funding player events on the Freedom server. Donations may include IO baskets (10 random procs, purples, PvP IOs, etc.), art, build designing, base building, shopping, costume designing, bio writing, "Master of" TF runs, badge/accolade assistance and similar services. All services must be specific and must be completed within a reasonable time frame after the auction (1 - 2 months). You may also donate IOs to serve as door prizes given away during the event. All players who make donations will be posted, unless they request to be anonymous.
For those who want to donate team spots:
You can offer up a spot on a team for a "Master of" TF, to get a rare badge, etc. This should be something that is specific and special (I.E. a spot on a random team for 2 hours would not qualify). Please make sure if you are offering this that you have 7 people total (or less if you need less) who will be willing run this team.
I want to be a bidder!
Simply show up at the auction on Saturday, July 23rd (9pm Eastern) and have your influence ready! We'll have players, IOs, and other goodies on sale, and your purchase will help fund future P.E.R.C. Events.
I just want to have fun and maybe win a prize!
You're welcome to show up even if you don't plan on being auctioned off or placing a bid. We'll have prizes and give-aways throughout the event, including the randomly selected grand prize winner who will walk away with 40% of the night's jackpot! Just remember: You have to be there to win!
How do I sign up as an auctionee or offer my services?
We'll need your @Global name and what you would like to auction off; be that yourself, item(s), or service(s). There are a few ways you can send us that info:
@LSK, or Little Side Kick in game.
PM here on the forums.
Email too! Send it to perc.coh@gmail.com

Quote:If u look under view totals/misc buffs u can see that u have only +2% to damage.Originally Posted by Progor
I'm sorry, I don't understand why you say this. All 8(!) of my damage powers are slotted for 90+% damage. I'm hitting 110+% accuracy against +3s. (What's the base accuracy against +4s? I may even be hitting the cap against them). I could find some more DamageBuff set bonuses, but I'd end up losing accuracy and recharge buffs if I put them in single target attacks or psionic defense if I put them in PBAoEs, neither of which I think are worth giving up for 1.5% more damage (3% damage increase over 200% of base from slotting).

I am sad to say that I will be missing tonights TT for IRL stuff going on right now. I will be back tomorrow, and maybe later tonight.

Quote:I have to disagree with this statement if it is an all tanker teamOriginally Posted by Call Me Awesome
I also strongly agree with your statement "the tanker who's the last man standing has failed"; it's almost impossible to overstate that.
-
Why did u take resist elements, and resist energy so late in the build?. I take it you do not wish to do damage to the enemy's for your damage out put is really low. Also u over slotted a few things but I am guessing u wanted the ones after the cap on those ones. Plus I am surprised u did not put in a aegis psi res in there.
-
You do know that u are going to use up a lot of end and stealth will waist even more, the purples that u have is nice on paper but they have only 1 end red to them and there is more end wasted. You would be better off with positron blast they r cheaper and u have a few end reduction to them. Plus u got rid greater fire sword why? Not only that your damage out put is to low even for a tank. You have no Tohit with you. You are sacrificing a lot just to try to get your def up.

Quote:I am only seeing 29% SL not SCOriginally Posted by Progor
Ok, I've reworked this build a lot to fit in Super Jump, get some more benefits from IO sets, focus on S/L/E/N defense, and get more recharge speed. Now, I'm 10 seconds shy of perma-hasten, have soft-capped defense with darkest night, and am comfortably close to soft-capped iTrials with darkest night, obliteration, and barrier. Thanks for the soul mastery tips - hopefully the extra recharge on consume will offset the loss of body mastery.
One of the interesting things I found out was that there is not really any attack chain that benefits from having greater fire sword with this much recharge. So I dropped it. That might make me a little less powerful in the face of a lot of recharge debuffs, but I have two full attack chains anyway (1 single target, 1 AoE) and I can intermix them to keep the attacks coming when I'm being heavily slowed. Gloom actually ended up being the highest DPA attack I have, and Gloom->Incinerate->Scorch->Fire Sword is a seamless, high DPS attack chain.
Removing GFS left room for Obliteration, giving me 4 AoEs to match my 4 ST attacks. The AoE attack chain isn't quite seamless, but that just gives me time to incinerate a boss or LT between each chain.
I was also able to squeeze in some regen and accuracy, as well as mag 12 KB protection, and a few other tiny bonuses.
Let me know what you think.
