Wow.

IIRC, the defence buff is considerably high, while the other stats are fairly low.

[ QUOTE ]
to pose a similar, but slightly different question to the original...

i'm planning to be rolling an ice/ice tank to duo with an ice/ice blaster in the near future. obviously i plan on grabbing chilling embrace, but do people think that taunt would be particularly valuable in such a team? throwing it into the mix at the earliest oppourtunity has me expecting to get my second damage dealing power by level 18. i know that i'm not there to throw the hurt around, but that seems like i won't be carrying my weight much.

obviously a spread-out team tackling a few spawns simultaneously after everything goes to hell needs a tank who can taunt to try and pull everything into order, but if we're likely standing shoulder to shoulder as he blapps and i tank can i be confident that punchvoke and CE will see us through and keep the aggro on me?

[/ QUOTE ]As an ice tank, you wont need taunt before you start facing AV's.

Take the whole lot

Failing that, I'd drop, in this order: Scramble Thoughts, Psychic scream, Psionic Lance, Psionic Tornado, Psychic Wail, Subdue, Will domination, TK Blast.

As for slotting (Assuming stamina and hasten):
Mental Blast: Nothing
Subdue: 1 acc 3 dam
Psionic Lance: 1 acc 3 dam 1 EndRdx 1 Rech/IntRdx
Psychic Scream: 1 acc 3 dam 1 End 1 Rech
TK Blast: 1 acc 3 dam 0-1 rech 0-1 EndRdx
Will Domination: 1 acc 3 dam 1-2 rech 0-1 EndRdx 0-1 Sleep
Psionic Tornade: 1 acc 3 dam 1 rech 1 End
Scramble Thoughts: 1 acc 0-3 Stun 0-2 recharge 0-1 End
Psychic Wail:0-1 Acc 3 Dam 0-3 rech (Possibly stun?)

Actually, I'm pretty sure it has to be a fact that Spines is the best Scrapper set. Perhaps even, overpowered.

[/ QUOTE ]Damn right it is, Spines/Regen is THE ultimate PvE scrapper....Unless you're teaming with few empaths/kins, in which case spines/DA wins.

Updating my own status, I should be available from now on 'till 8PM tonight, and longer if required, but would really prefer being finished by 8 PM. (All times in BST)

Technically, it's not auto-hit, it just has very high accuracy. Use it on +8's or so and you'll see less numbers.

[/ QUOTE ]

yup i know this but as it cannot accept accuracy enhancers (much like a tanks taunt which if memory serves, the taunt effect becomes significantly less if you are trying taunt +8s for example) it will work on a sane lvl of enemies without any problems. maybe i should have warned _max_ not to try it on anything over 8+.....

[/ QUOTE ]I'm pretty sure it can accept accuracy. Also, taunt can now accept accuracy, for PvP purposes. And taunt's duration is lessened against high level foes, but that's just purple patch in effect, ALL power effectiviness is lessened when fighting high levels.

[ QUOTE ]

like you i only ever heard bad things about it, but i took it when i noticed on test its auto-hit much like burn from the fire tank set. huge huge huge DoT, never misses

Don't put a range in TP Friend.
3 Range, 2 End Rdx in Teleport
2/2/2 for AB
3 End mod in Recovery Aura, not 2
3 Heal in Reg Aura, not 2
2/2/2 for Fortitude.


[/ QUOTE ]Recall friend needs range in shadow shards, eden trial, and IP.

[/ QUOTE ]
Out of curiousity how many?


[/ QUOTE ]Personally, I only put range in the defaault slot, but that's still not enough in some of the biggest zones. The range of recall friend is 10,000 feet.

Nowt wrong with punchvoke indeed. But I can happily swallow 100% aggro with Chilling Embrace and taunt and never need punchvoke.


[/ QUOTE ]Or you can get away with chilling embrace and punchvoke and never be able to grab aggro at range or kite AV's.

[/ QUOTE ]

Edited for Accuracy.

[/ QUOTE ]Even if I will take taunt, you will NOT see me kiting AV's, it's just silly. Also, fire epic quite easily allows taking aggro at range.

As stated above, Friday's a problem for me as I'm visiting friends for the weekend. They do have CoH, but it would be rather inconvenient to be on it, as I'd have to log on straight after arriving.

I can do tonight, but if it comes to being tomorrow, I'll quit the TF so everybody else can continue.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmmm.... You could always log just for the last mission...

[/ QUOTE ]

And he knows when we reach the last mission how?

[/ QUOTE ]That depends on what means of long-distance communication he has in his disposal at wherever it is he's going to

Minor note, serious take another avatar.. yours is 2.2MB :S

[/ QUOTE ]

Due to a certain evil twin of mine using up my bandwidth by having the same picture, your wish has been granted.

[/ QUOTE ]Hey, it was a mere coincidence

Realistically, most forum users would already have seen that avatar on your posts, so me taking it wouldn't have added much increased traffic.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure at what times I'll get to be on today. However, I DO know that I won't be online after 8PM BST.

[/ QUOTE ]Recall friend needs range in shadow shards, eden trial, and IP.
TP only needs 3 range, EndRdx is not necessary, especially as an empath since you have RA.
AB provides a HUGE recovery boost, EndMod is unnecessary, 3 rech 3 heal is the optimum slotting.
RA's both cost a decent amount of endurance to activate, and especially recovery aura doesn't really need 3 EndMod.
Fortitude has a BIG ToHit buff, no point putting more than 1 ToHit in it.

Very nice pictures, even though they are comopletely different styles.

I'll try to be there ^_^

FF suits thematically, storm provides synergy, control, and great physics.

Gahhhhhh!

I'm gahhhhing too, as he's made me use up my bandwidth for that site. 10GB a month that has!

[/ QUOTE ]Bah, coincidence, that was

[ QUOTE ]

Whilst I'd love to be able to do the whole thing (as I haven't actually done a TF yet) I might vanish. If I do, then, obviously, I won't be able to rejoin, but I'll expect plenty of commentary on the Forumites channel for when I get back.

[/ QUOTE ]FG, have you ever done a TF? You stay in the team until you quit it, even if you log off or D/C.

For added confusion, see my new avatar

Nofuture stats Cleave as a 10ft / 20degree cone.
(not to mention the pretty cool animation - though its same as the broadsword one..)

[/ QUOTE ]No way it's a cone, unless it only has certain % chance to hit others than the main target.
