I've only ever heard bad things about Ignite, due to the fact that mobs always tend to run out of the area of effect, and although I'm sure I'll be teaming with your TA/Psi quite a bit MaX, I can't guarantee it, which means a lack of Immobilisation.


[/ QUOTE ]Not like she has reliable immob anyways

BTW, Cleave is an interesting power. While it's listed in most places as single target, it can hit multiple foes as well. I'm not sure how big the radius is, or what the chances are, but in a tight herd I think I've managed to hit 4 foes with it at once. And since it's the highest damage attack axe haves... (One-shots many minions at damage cap)

[ QUOTE ]
Is there anything MaX *doesn't* know?

[/ QUOTE ]Does it count if I don't know if there's nothing I don't know?

[ QUOTE ]

And if you plan ignite on teambased, just kick any knockback powered toon in the team.. because it wont work. I got AR/ice so both imm as icepatch, you can control ignite yourself rather then relying on a team. (cause the radius of ignite is serious small).

Level 15's the highest? Hmm, Flittermaus is level 14...as soon as he levels, will he be auto-exemped?

[/ QUOTE ]
You won't be exemplared until you're level 16 or higher.

A level 15 will still gain xp.

[/ QUOTE ]

You need to watch the level spread on thisone lvl 15 with a bunch 12s means all the opposition will be set at 15 or higher, with numbers determined by toal size of TF group - things getting quite tricky if the group is bigger than 5

[/ QUOTE ]Positron is a TF with 'fixed levels', that means it will ALWAYS spawn foes around L15-16, doesn't matter what level team members are. Thus, it would be good to have at least half the team L15+, to be able to SK those L12 and below.

EDIT: And yes, for today only, or longer if it causes humourous results, I'm sticking with my full name on the forum.

[/ QUOTE ]Ooo, this could get interesting....I was already wondering why I saw myself as last replier to thread I hadn't replied to

Air Superiority = one of the best rear end planters in the game, removing a boss etc from combat by knocking him to the ground.

[/ QUOTE ]

You could take web envelope instead and switch from flying to jumping. CJ + hurdle = fast combat movement, and you can still bring down flyers (ranged even).

[/ QUOTE ]Bringing down fliers isn't what AS is used for, it's the 100% guaranteed knockdown.

[ QUOTE ]
Blaster do better with AoE for sure.

But no-one uses them - have you seen the ratio of fire blasters to single target blasters like energy / ice?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, which has been very good in favor to fire/AR/Archery blasters while I've been teaming with my tank. Lucky me, eh?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Sure you can take traps, good luck trying to solo EB's with just triage beacon healing ya

[/ QUOTE ]
Soloed the EB version of Sea Witch with Robo/Traps.

Besides, Dark sucks monkey nuts.

[/ QUOTE ]Sea witch? Pfft, a STALKER could solo her...

[ QUOTE ]

Remember that whilst the minimum level for the TF is 10, anyone higher than L15 will be auto-exemped


[/ QUOTE ] Fixed

I'll try to be there...also try to drag my L12 blaster oto at least 14 today.

L40 tank so far, no taunt, nothing really caused aggro trouble apart for the bloody AV's, who are now impossible to keep aggroed without it... :/

[/ QUOTE ]

You didnt do mary macomber ten times then? or perhaps not dr vahzilock? or perhaps any other av of good high level versus you in the tfs and trials pre 40 i take it? i personally couldnt of done countess crey without it, she can be murder up close but easily kited thankfully.

[/ QUOTE ]Vahzilok was no problem. People died with mary, but she was also +4 to me so taunt wouldn't have affected her long enough. Clamor was no problem, terra and envoy caused few deaths.

[ QUOTE ]

4.) What on earth is actually going on in 'Lost'?

[/ QUOTE ]The rikti mutagen is slowly starting to take effect

Sure you can take traps, good luck trying to solo EB's with just triage beacon healing ya

Dark is the way to go and you all know it!

[ QUOTE ]

I'm surprised there's no inclusion of Stun for a Beanbag+Stun guaranteed boss disorient.

[/ QUOTE ]Isn't stun high enough mag to get a boss alone?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
get ignite instead

[/ QUOTE ]
Ignite without an Immob or Ice Patch?


[/ QUOTE ]Teaming opens many possibilities

[ QUOTE ]
Are you sure the web grenade stops not back as the AoE one for the MM doesnt which is annoying, I took it hoping it stopped knockback meaning I could lock enemies onto the flame patches from the robots AoE but it doesnt work like that

[/ QUOTE ]He said it doesn't stop it, not that it does

If you want a fun MM, pick either dark or poison secondary, those are the active ones.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont know... compare scrappers to blasters and scrappers seem to come off incredibly well...

[/ QUOTE ]Except when it comes to AoE damage, in which blasters totally win. And AoE is the king in PvE.

L40 tank so far, no taunt, nothing really caused aggro trouble apart for the bloody AV's, who are now impossible to keep aggroed without it... :/

Move Buckshot and M30 to later, pick up sniper and flamethrower pre-20 instead. (Well, the smartest thing to do would be dropping M30, but... )
Drop beanbag, get ignite instead, or if you really want control, stun.
Drop stealth, get boost range. Then get something useful at 49, like whirlwind
Maybe drop EndRdx and recharge from burst, it's not too big of an attack.

[ QUOTE ]
So far: drop Whirling Axe and Maneuvers, and Hover too.

[/ QUOTE ]Drop PBAoE as a tank? Hell no.

Drop Chop, take beheader.
Drop tough hide an maneuvers, take swoop and cleave instead.
Invinc is cheap toggle, 1 EndRdx is sufficient....propably for other toggles as well.
Drop RPD and REL for later, get stamina to 20.
6-slot dull pain.
Slot 3 recharge in unstoppable, drop the DMGRes.
Your attacks will not taunt if they don't hit, slot accuracy, invinc is NOT sufficient +ToHit.

The fact that you can slot form powers before you get the form?

[/ QUOTE ]

Aaaaah, no wonder I wouldn't notice. My PB is tri-form.

[/ QUOTE ]

...Pardon?

That's the only time you WOULD notice.

[/ QUOTE ]A person using human form would also slot human form powers. Most useful this would be for a dwarf-only kheld, or nova/dwarf.

[ QUOTE ]
So if I get you properly, you would use it to aggro the mob, wouldn't you?
I my case as i'll get rain of arrows at 32 i was thinking on using it for aggroing them... And on the other hand, i was not planning to get smoke grenade...

[/ QUOTE ]I tried an Archery/Dev shortly at L40 during the RV event, and found the best tactic to be:
1) Plant mines and caltrops
2) Plant time bomb at mobs while invisible (SS+CD)
3) Plant trip mine certain time after time bomb, to make them blow at the same time
4) Leg it far away ASAP and use rain of arrows in conjunction with the exploding trip mine and time bomb.

If that doesn't work, then just drop part 3).

Also, interruptable powers (snipe) get the buff after the interruptable time is over, not before.
