its a DoT

[/ QUOTE ]So is full auto

[ QUOTE ]

Elec - Now I do like the look of elec, seems to have a hold and nice single target dmge like Ice

[/ QUOTE ]It isn't. It lacks a "big hitter" ST attack, which makes it quite possibly the worst primary for ST damage.

[ QUOTE ]
Archery - nice but i know its lethal dmge so i won't really feel any of the renowned high burst dmge that I associate with going blaster inherant acc a bonus i guess but i dunno..

[/ QUOTE ]No matter how lethal resitant they are, rain of arrows is still awesome burst damage. It's up every 60 secs like full auto, but you don't need to stand in one place for ages to wait for DoT ticks. Plus you can use it even without line of sight to the enemies.

[ QUOTE ]
Fire - I could see myself going /fire purely to pick up build up, combustion, and fire swordcircle. I guess the question is , is combustion and fire sword circle good enough aoe's to justify using that secondary lol.

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, they are.

[ QUOTE ]
AVs don't resist damage debuffs

[/ QUOTE ]Source?

[ QUOTE ]
Blaster secondary attacks are best for when you are grouping....soloing and depending on your secondary is a sure way to faceplant

[/ QUOTE ]One-/Two-shotting stuff isn't all that dangerous IMO.

And that's just with the melee secondaries, /dev is even more made for solo.

You've avoided AoE attacks, melee attacks, and stamina.....So what have you taken then?

Oh, and 6-slot RoA, use it whenever it's up, and love it.

[ QUOTE ]
-Dam isn't very good, actually.

Foes resist damage debuffs to the same level as their resistance to that damage type. Recluse does mostly S/L and I'm guessing he's got pretty high S/L resists too.

Thus, if he's got a 90% S/L resist, then a 90% damage debuff will actually only debuff his S/L damage by 9%.


[/ QUOTE ]And that's without taking into account the AV debuff resistance, AND the fact that he's +4.

Was a nice run, although the point where recluse spawned quite a few bane spiders was somewhat annoying

Well, I should be playing most of the weekend, so give me a call when you see me in-game ^^

[ QUOTE ]

If you're running away from fights (metaphorically or literally) because you've *only* got ~30% RES to a damage type

[/ QUOTE ]AND the highest HP in the team, something which many people seem to forget. Even without any def/res/regen, the tank is still the most durable AT.

[ QUOTE ]

So what would you call a defender (healer) that couldnt heal?

[/ QUOTE ]FF, Sonic or TA

Also, my ice tank, with 0 psi protection whatsoever, has no problem tanking rikti, they really don't do all that much psi damage.

[ QUOTE ]

With Temperature Protection:
142.6% Fire
31.7% Cold


[/ QUOTE ]I think we shouldn't take unrealistic scenarios into account

[ QUOTE ]
A sonic caps a firetanks res to all but psionic and untyped.

[/ QUOTE ]And cold, and possibly toxic.

[ QUOTE ]
Ice Tanks do it best

[/ QUOTE ]
Untill they meet a 4 stacked venguance nemesis +3 spawn, there goes your def



[/ QUOTE ]Or a single DE Quartz

[ QUOTE ]
inv/em... basically at lvl22 you should only be using whirling hands for gauntlet/stun and bonesmasher on the odd boss.

[/ QUOTE ]And air superiority, and spamming barrage for gauntlet if you don't have taunt.

I have an ice tank. Sure it has a bit better aggro control options, but the invul can still keep the entire spawn taunted most of the time.

[ QUOTE ]
trying to Duo Shadowhunter (and failing)


[/ QUOTE ]It's not my fault you didn't have a shivan

[ QUOTE ]

Invul/EM= poor aggro management

[/ QUOTE ]Not had any problems with managing aggro on mine.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Instead of just aggroing everything, make an effort to group the mobs (by breaking LoS) as well. That'll make your role much more active.


[/ QUOTE ]

Doesnt make it any less automatic though.

[/ QUOTE ]Needs more adapting to the enviroment, so it's not the exact same tactics for every single group in the mission.

[ QUOTE ]
Gratz Mate! By any chnace is it a healer? Could use here next week when Max is gone and we run the STF, that way i can make Blue rich again and not play my empath to get her to 45!


[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, it's got healing arrows

[ QUOTE ]

Playing the tanker, on the other side, reduces to toggle on the resistance powers (unyielding, temporary invulnerability, Tough, etc.), run to the enemy, taunt a little and let them try to scratch my metallic armor while the rest of the team obliterate them. Yay. Not a very "active" role. I taunt left and right and AoE attack all that I can, but my attacks do a very low amount of damage... to the point that I think I only use them to taunt the enemy a little more.

Or you could invest heavier into your seconary, but with /NRG you can't really get damage output before the late levels.

+Perception isn't either

[/ QUOTE ]I'm finnish, I'm allowed to mistype english words

[/ QUOTE ]

Im starting to think you do it on purpose in this case, as this is like tenth time .

[/ QUOTE ]Well, there's some words that I just mistype naturally, like propably, suprise and perspection. And once you learn to type them in one way, it's hard to change

Since Cynic will just pester me about this if I don't:

Grats for Miss Taik, your 5th L50.

That's assuming I get to 50 on my Fire/TA and can tuck her away for retirement beforehand.

[/ QUOTE ]If you join me at my carnie farm tomorrow, that shouldn't be a problem

[/ QUOTE ]

What time are you doing this?
Because I need to kill lots of master Illusionist pets for the Illusionist badge to get Archmage Accolade and would like to join you if possible.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm just farming a carnie outdoor mish solo (or duo, occasionally), in order to generate inf. No MI's on the map.
