2. MaXimillion 50 ?? ??/?? ??


[/ QUOTE ]Either Spines/Regen Or Empath/Dark, depends on which one I do the other STF that day with (since cant get reward on same char twice in 24 hours)

I dunno if perma-AM is that low priority....

[ QUOTE ]
I guess its down to whether MA/Regen or Spine/Regen is more helpful

[/ QUOTE ]Or two empaths.

I wouldn't mind doing it twice in one day, so sign me up

Current team rooster:
1. Me (Still undecided whether empath or spines scrapper)
2. Cynic (Rad/Rad)
3. Blue Blaze (Fire/Fire tank)
4. Generalissimo_2 (Ill/Kin, propably)
5. Maximus_Prime (MA/Inv)
6. Nine_Claws (Claws/Regen)
7. FlushSkinz (Empath or MA/Regen)
8. DaSilva (Invul/SS)

Reserves:
1. Princess Sazzy (?/? Tank)
2. wuffles (Kin/Elec Defender)

Don't suppose you could get on a bit earlier (even if just log the char on to be invited and then log off again 'till 2)? Since Cyn has to go around 6 pm, I'd really not want to push the start any further than 1:30 pm (and preferably even not that).

[ QUOTE ]

what time you planning on this? betweeb 12pm and 2pm GMT would be great!

[/ QUOTE ]As I said, planning to start at noon. (Although can start a bit later f somebody can't make that). would preferably want at least 4 hours to do it in case something goes wrong.

I'm interested, whether I can make it depends on the time.

Neither

Seeing as I9 most likely launches this week, thought I might as well organize a STF for the weekend. Planed starting time would be saturday noon. Meet by Statesman (In IP, on a ship not far from train station).

Team setup:
1. Me, either L50 Empath or Spines/Regen.
2. Cynic, Most likely L50 Rad/Rad.
3.-8. Free.

[ QUOTE ]
But still, what's the point really trying to solo an AV?

[/ QUOTE ]For fun?

The base accuracy against an even level foe is 75%.

Tankers have in general (there are exceptions for all AT's) the same accuracy as everyone else.

[ QUOTE ]
Also my Mastermind doesn't have Stam and again I PVE / PVP with him just fine.


[/ QUOTE ]While there are builds that can be efficient without stamina, I've not yet seen a MM build that can resummon and rebuff henchmen in the middle of combat without it. And if a MM can't do that, it's not efficient enough IMO.

Elec is pretty weak primary, especially in ST damage. It also has almost as much AoE as fire (Why exactly you don't like AoE I don't know). If you want an ST blaster with those elements, make Ice/Elec/fire. That combo has one of the best possible ST damage chains, access to 4 ST holds, an awesome end recovery power, and a self rez.

[ QUOTE ]
Lingering Radiation has a 90 second recharge and a 30 second duration for a -100% regen.

[/ QUOTE ]
This was fixed in December. From notes:

[ QUOTE ]
Defender Lingering Radiation powers -Regen was operating at 1/5th the scale of the equivalent Corruptor or Controller version. The base scale now matches across all three Archetypes.

[/ QUOTE ]
So it's now -500% which Dark won't be able to get to.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I recall correctly, in the upcoming I9 there will be -regen resistances that will affect Lingering Radiation and Radiation Infection hence these figures may be provisional.

[/ QUOTE ]In I9 AV regen resitance will not be ignored by LR and a few other powers. The dark and kin -regen was already affected by the resistance. Radiation infection has no -regen.

[ QUOTE ]

So I'm not sure that twlight grasp -regen will stack, although it would stack with fluffies one to give you -100%regen

[/ QUOTE ] Twilight Grasp has no effects tagged as "This effect does not stack from the same caster", therefore all the effects stack.

Will 2x AM allow perma hasten/perma AM?

[/ QUOTE ]If my maths are right, almost, but not quite (about 10-15 sec downtime on AM, 30+ secs on stamina). If you throw in some IO's that give global recharge boost, then it should be perma or very close.


[/ QUOTE ]
I did the math some time ago and remember it to be longer, can you show me your math with even lvl 3 SOs?

[/ QUOTE ]AM duration: 120 seconds.
AM recharge: 422 seconds.
Total recharge buffs: 95% + 70% + 60% = 225% (3 SO's (approximate value), hasten, 2*AM)

Recharge: 422 / (1 + 2.25) = 130 seconds.

However, it'll be bit longer than 130 seconds, since both AM's and hasten drop at 120 secs.

Oh, and in that quote, I meant to say 30+ on hasten, not on stamina >_>

You appear to have forgotten your nuke from the build

[ QUOTE ]

But I always expect from team members that they bring something desirable to the table and that they fulfill their duty reliably. A tanker that can sometimes hold aggro just doesn´t fit that bill, so I would rather fill that spot with something else.

[/ QUOTE ]So, if you had room in your team, and there was nobody online and available in your level range but a tauntless tank, would you invite them?

[ QUOTE ]

I would rather leave the team than enter any 40s mission with a tauntless Inv/EM tanker and I would be very sceptical in the 30s.

[/ QUOTE ]Would you also absolutely refuse to enter a L40+ mission without a tank?

[ QUOTE ]

ps. im sure there is a HUGE post somewhere around here about this


[/ QUOTE ] There is indeed.

[ QUOTE ]

So? Issue 9 gone live in Finland then?



[/ QUOTE ]No, but if one's planning a duo now, it's logical to assume that I9 will have launched by the time that duo's at any significant level.

[ QUOTE ]
Even if it's true you could slot like this there's no way you can count on being able to...not instantly anyway. Wishful speculation from MaXimillion without basis in reality.

[/ QUOTE ]I didn't say it would nbe easy to acquire the necessary IO's, merely that it would be possible.

[ QUOTE ]
I really wouldnt suggest being /rad and not have stamina. It's entirely possible with 2 x AMs...but I would advice against it.

[/ QUOTE ]One AM gives a bit more recovery than stamina. Running two (nearly) perma would give quite nice boost. With just two AM's I'd still propably recommend stamina, but if you throw the unique +recov IO's into the mix, it wouldn't be all that large of a boost anymore. (I'd propably still take it personally, but that's 'cause I absolutely hate running out of end)

With 2x AM will I need stamina too?

[/ QUOTE ]You won't need it propably, especially if you slot the two +recov IO's in radiant aura.

The base value for controllers is 500% regen. For comparison, scrapper Instant Healing is 800%. However, because a large part of IH is unenhancable, 3-slotted for heailng RA is around 1000%, while IH is 900%. Which means it's pretty damn powerful.
