[/ QUOTE ]No, my brain is plugged into my PC and can't be removed

I won't be able to make it, for obvious reasons

I thought SS stops stealth when u dont move?

[/ QUOTE ]You thought wrong.

we are talking about the STF if so they both laugh in the face of my invul tank, if we are talking about RV then thats a different matter altogether!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah. On the STF the entire team couldn't dent GW. The team wasn't a perfect mix but even so! We threw everything and she just wouldn't drop.

Why are the "same" AVs so much more powerful on the STF?

[/ QUOTE ]

The key with GW is just making sure she doesnt hit with her dark regeneration, which makes her pretty much unbeatable otherwise due to her AV-sized hp bar. Debuff acc, buff tank defense, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]Or just have tank stay out of melee range. It worked well for us (the defiant saturday noon STF team) for several weeks.

Bah, I posted in this week's thread instead

But yeah, what Cyn said.

That was a fairly nice run, but now that we've taken all four AV's down in one fight without any temps (No, the rock didn't count) I will be taking a break of at least a few weeks. Should be back to doing this when I11 goes live, if not before.

It's not "wrong" per se, it's just inefficient. Especially with fire/fire, since you have FSC in your secondary, which fills up your AoE chain.

Can you really play this combo of sets without Stamina?

Given Archeries low end cost/animation and long animation times in which end recovery is easily made, yes you can, however end slots in attacks will still be preferable in the most commonly used attacks.


[/ QUOTE ]With stamina, my arch/dev never, EVER runs out of endurance, hasn't since mid-20's (He's 36 ow), and that's with just SO slotting, AND running SJ (which is only slotted for jump) in most fights. You could certainly play the combo without stamina.

On the subject of RoA, one big boost is that it doesn't require LoS, you can fire it off perfectly safely from around walls and corners.

The old Hamidon didn't spawn - it was just...there, all the time

[/ QUOTE ]No, it wasn't. It spawned 3 hours from server boot, or from the last defeat.

Why bother doing hammy when STF takes less time (if you include organizing), and can be run far more frequently.

Any character, no matter of which AT, will not get their missions done in teams unless they take action to do so. Either suggest to the team leader that you have a nice mission close by, stay in the team until YOU get the star, or start your own team.

Or you could make a build that doesn't suck solo.

[ QUOTE ]
seems daft that ppl would complain about the screen shaking for ss powers. i liked it too. I would have thought the devs time would be better spent fixing the Consignment house issue. i.e having to wait half an hour before the thing registers you actually selling something.

[/ QUOTE ]It's odd how most people seem to think there's just one group of devs who can all do anything, and it's just a question of what they spend their time on.

I'd be VERY suprised if the same people who handle bugs in the AH system are also in charge of power effects.

[ QUOTE ]
Pah - there is always one - and its always max
No - no empath - but I do have a Dark and a Kinetic, never saw the point in an empath tbh. Do you have one?

[/ QUOTE ]I think you answered the question in your post

I wouldn't mind playing something else for a change

[ QUOTE ]
Well I am happy to bring the Bear and tank again.
However if we have a tank I can bring any other AT. As long as you dont want another scrapper - I prob have what we need.

[/ QUOTE ]Do you have an empath?

[ QUOTE ]
I just want to add in that sometimes you get mishes/maps that are downright dangerous trying to herd. A particular outdoor map full of mother mayhems psychic minions springs to mind..
(this is from a invulns point of view)

[/ QUOTE ]Dull pain, aid self, some nice IO bonuses....easy enough

[ QUOTE ]


EDIT v. 2.0: Seems I'm the nub. Didnt bother to check the build.

[/ QUOTE ]lol nub

I'm not wasting a power slot for steadfast when I can put it in an useful power.

[ QUOTE ]

I've heard people mentioning 70% recharge from set bonus and i was like "huh?" and got me thinking if there are some new uber IO sets out there that's not included in mids here designer.



[/ QUOTE ]Mid's planner has all the IO's that were added with the invention system, and there have been none added to the game since then.

Why on earth would I have taken permafrost?

My current build (although not all slots are filled with the correct IO's yet) is here.

[ QUOTE ]

When a tank is in melee range of an AV the AV does his AOE attack more and hurts the scrappers in melee range allot and thats not what we want..


[/ QUOTE ]Because every single AV in the game has a high damage PBAoE.

Or do they...?

Tauntless tanks work fine, you've just clearly never teamed with a half-decent one.

Either another attack, or dropping something and getting aid self

CJ, hover etc. aren't going to make any real difference in terms of survivability unless you've got other def to stack them with.

IMO, healing should generate aggro, at least from the "smarter" mobs. Although only when the character is visible to mobs, and it shouldn't be as high aggro as damage causes.

[ QUOTE ]

When I eventually convinced him to let me attack 1st, he ran in with me. I couldn't pull aggro from him fast enough as he was hitting with an AoE before I could TP behind the mob & Taunt.

[/ QUOTE ]Wouldn't it be more efficient to get IN the mob with your aggro aura on?

[ QUOTE ]
refer to my mention on another thread about wanting to tank few, but hard enemies

[/ QUOTE ] The thing is, that's what you do in almost every major MMO. CoH is fairly unique in the amount of foes you can fight at once, and I (and I know many others do as well) really enjoy that aspect of it. Getting floored just about every time when you're against more than 3 foes is not fun.

signing up for this (first reserve spot i think?)

[/ QUOTE ]What stone did you crawl out under?

[/ QUOTE ]

the big kind

So, am i in? :P Still a gimped I7 build tho, and no IOs yet.

[/ QUOTE ]As a reserve, yeah, but the last time I told someone there's usually at least one no-show and the first reserve gets on the TF, that didn't happen, so I'm not going to do that this time
