Troimille Ile:
Bitten by a radioactive nuclear generator, Troimille gained all the powers of a nuclear generator, namely, producing radiation and electricity. Also, she enjoys a good cup of coffee, but that might not be a power possessed by a nuclear generator.
Admiral Whiskers:
The beloved pet of Dr. Senileolman, Admiral Whiskers was the only being that he trusted not to betray him. As such, he formed Whiskers into a body guard. Unfortunately, Admiral Whiskers is easily distracted by shiny fast moving objects and Dr. Senileolman was killed by an assilant with a supply of laser pointers. -
But I am not capable of wearing both the clockwork chestpiece and a tuxedo jacket.

This is not a bad suggestion; If you're going for the soft cap, one of the taunt sets offers +2.5% Smashing/Lethal defense and it's significantly cheaper than Kinetic Combat. (Though that would require 4 slots).

With the Super Stunner Freaks, you really want to defeat them at a range. They seem to have a melee range thing that just destroys your endurence when they revive, but they don't revive at all if you defeat them from range.

Quote:Not quite. Don't get me wrong, Invulnerability is awesome and it can get to +45% Smashing/Lethal/Fire/Cold/Energy/Negative Energy defense just like Granite can, and it can get to 90% Smashing/Lethal resist just like granite can. It can cap everything else with Unstoppable, Granite can come close with the Cardiac boost.When compared to other Tanker primaries, Invul can become equally tanky
However, Invulnerability can't come close to the amount of regeneration that Stone has. With dull pain up, an Invulnerability tank will heal close to the amount that a Stone tank can heal with Earth's Embrace down.
I've got a Stone tank build that's 63 hit points a second with Earth's Embrace down, 82 with it up.
That said, the movement penalties are very harsh. I'm not sure how they should be dealt with though. -
Now my planned Earth Tank build doesn't get soft capped defenses outside of granite. But it's only 16 seconds short of perma Earth's Embrace when granite isn't running, and it regenerates 61.87 hit points per second with Earth's Embrace down, and 82 Hit Points per second when it's up.

I've got Musculature *something* Boost. I like it so far. I'm trying to decide if I want to go Musculature Core Paragon or Musculature Radial Paragon eventually.
Musculature Core paragon is good for ~33% extra damage, but nothing else.
Musculature Radial paragon is good for ~24% extra damage, but also provides ~33% run speed, ~30% Endurance Modification, and ~20% to hit debuff. -
I'm not trying to do human form. I find I'm using nearly strictly dwarf form, which can't be the fastest way to go about things.
-
Thanks. I'll give hasten a try then.
-
I can solo an energy/energy blaster, I can solo a radiation/electricity defender...
But I try to do any fighting human form, and I hit the ground. Dwarf form goes pretty easily, if a bit slowly. But there are a lot of powers that just sit there, tantalizingly, and I want to use them, but I can't as a Dwarf. -
-
Quote:I'm assuming you have the veteran reward attack powers, you'll be using them a lot. If you want to speed up the low levels, go with an offensive primary.I am thinking of making a new Tanker using Ice Melee, which is a fairly rare set (due to low damage, I imagine). Mostly because it's a Tanker-only set.
I was thinking of going with Shield defense for the primary, since it will give it a little extra oomph through AaO and Shield Charge, but I'd like to hear the thoughts of anybody else who's used it. -
For the first two tiers, perhaps
Balance, which provides magnitude 1 knock-back protection and 2.5% resist all. (which is less protection than combat jumping provides)
Slick patch, which would work like Ice Slick, but with a smaller radius and a significantly shorter placable range.
As to why a hoverboard has a maximum height ceiling, it's easy enough to say that the board has maximum thrust capability, and past a certain distance from the ground, it does not provide the thrust disperses too much to keep the board aloft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlnGBk4221g -
No, regeneration doesn't, because of that hit point total problem. If Fast Healing provided 10 hit points per second to both stalkers and scrappers, then you could say that stalker regeneration had more survivability. However, Fast Healing heals a percentage of maximum health every second, so a character with 1600 hit points will see more benefit from it than a character with 1200 hit points. (If they both start at 1 hit point, they'll both see the bars hit full at the same time, but one will have regained more).
-
That's what I'd figured. But he asked if it was possible, not if it was a good idea.
-
Actually, it looks like both of those builds are 20 hit points over the cap, so you can remove one of the sets providing a .75% bonus and replace it with something else.
Also, I didn't really care about which attack powers got the best slotting, so permute the slotting of the powers at your whim. -
Okay, this one drops Resurgence for Weave, still keeps the hit point cap because Luck of the Gambler provides the same Hit point bonus as Efficiency.

Edit; I'd intended for this to have weave. Oh well. -
What are your power sets? Where do most of your powers eminate? Assuming the arms, I like the large gloves for that:
-
"Erda is. Whenever there is doubt, this is certain. Erda is. She is of Earth, she is earth, she is the embodiment of Earth and energy. Erda is Earth and Energy. Erda is. There is no confusion little man. Erda is and is what she is. Erda is Everlasting. Erda is ever Everything."
So Erda is, but I'm having trouble with the powers. I could possibly do with a new costume too. Erda is a Natural Stone Armor/Energy Melee tank. If I remember correctly, She's max sliders, as large as can be. Encompassing. Ponderous.
Her current costume:
Her first costume:
And her current costume with powers activated:
I just don't know what to do with her powers. I'm not overly fond of the original. -
I remember some talk about this being a problem with burn or some fire blaster power.
Edit: That said, I have Cardiac boost on my Tanker and haven't noticed a problem at all, but my tanker is invulnerability, so it's not precisely comparable. -
You can craft down either side of the tree and not worry about the closing one side off.
You craft the first enhancement, and that opens up the next two. When you craft one of the uncommons, you lose the first slot, so you craft the first boost again, and then you'll be able to craft the other uncommon. That's what we know.
We also know that to craft the Ultra-rare you'll need any two rares.
My guess is that to craft one rare, you'll need to use two uncommons.
So it won't hurt at all to get the End/Res first, and it'll probably be something you need to use in the future anyway.
