    I can only choose one?

    Fine then, here is the armor-clad, hammer wielding iron maiden of Triumph, Tectonia!

    I staunchly disagree with this mentality. Defenders aren't needed, that's the way it should be. No team should HAVE to get a defender to be successful, defenders should just make the battles safer and/or faster, which they do.

    I strongly agree, no team should "need" a defender all the time but they should "want" a defender on their team. The same should apply to any archetype.

    So the hydra is broken, check. I guess everyone should go exploit the heck out of it before it gets fixed, as usual.

    Perhaps they can give OTHER players awesome defense, but they sure don't have any themselves. I've never seen a Defender herding mobs before.

    Pre-Issue 3 I saw a forcefield defender herding dozens of Rikti Monkeys. Though I doubt it now after they got Psi attacks.

    I'll drop a hint: the name of an upcoming Epic Archetype.

    Incarnate.

    Heck - I'll do another....

    Coralax.

    Happy Saturday!

    But are either going to be MEELEE epic ATs?
  7. Closer to the ship there are big mobs of Crey on the rooftops, oftentimes it's three Paragon Protectors and a couple Tanks.

    As far as a balanced group thats kind of a hard to put down idea. Many teams can be great. though I've found that too many of 1 type is usually bad. Especially too many blasters.

    But you can never have too many scrappers!

    "I got a rock"

    I wonder if it has magical provoking powers, that Vampyre Lord was pretty mad at me after I bounced it off his head.
  10. Tell them to stay out of such trivial matters. Gaming is not an addiction. You're an adult making your own decisions and they should respect that.

    Let's see, for the priviledge of playing with a low-level friend, I get: Reduced power set.
    No xp, but debt reduction at 100%
    If no debt, I get "low-level" xp converted to Influence.

    The reduced power set is a good thing. Imagine if I not only had Golden Dragonfly at lvl22 but also has it slotted with 6 damages? I'd be one-shotting everything short of a boss at that level.

    12) Pulling is slow and inefficient. I remember in the TV trial my group wanting to find ways to solo pull the Freak Tanks. I explained that you won't be able to solo pull them in the reactor. Charging in and controlling a fight is the best part. (ok, I'm a controller)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    There's the problem right there. Rule:

    Don't pull the boss. It'll bring the whole group. Peel off minions.

    Rule:
    It's better to kill a minion than damage a boss. 4 or 5 whites will kill you faster than 3 yellows.

    Rule:
    The scariest looking enemy isn't always the most dangerous.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Unless you're an invincibility scrapper, then you must have the minions around you while fighting the boss in order to get the full buffs.
