Miss Chief

LOLOL, So I'm to be sold off am I? i hope I get a good price!

BS and Invuln, only because it's the only scrapper combo I've used! might run a Katana/Regen at some point in time, but then again I might pick something else if a new powerset becomes available in issue 7.

YAY Ace!!!

Well, i've got 2 defenders, one with Emp/NRG and one with Kin/Rad, and they both rule! Rad secondary isn't so hot, I've only got Atomic blast, neutron bomb and irradiate(which is fab, 2x Dam, 2x def debuff and 2x recharge). I find atomic blast is wonderful when combined with Fulcrum shift and irradiate so I buff myself, debuff them then blast, and I pretty much kill all of them. irradiate is also good cos it can do useful damage per tick.

Although it is a 'non weapon' attack, and wastes a little time with the re-draw of my sword, Air Supp is a fabulous way of knocking them down and keeping them there. it's got a very high chance of knockdown too. It's also fab for PP's to stop them MoG'ing or using Unstoppable.

But he saids he needs it for the portal jockey accolade, which you don't. it's every praetorian AV except Tyrant, Multidimensional mission badge and a history badge, which I forget. Authority maybe, but any badge guide will have it.

Both myself and Dime don't actually have either of the resists in our builds, but it does mean I go down very quickly if i come up against some enemies that have ranged atatcks like these, for example i think I face planted 5-7 times on the Siege AV mission, simple because of the large mobs all with ranged energy attacks. Same with anything doing negative, toxic or fire attacks. The res given by 3 slotting them is only in the region of 10-15% I believe. I didn't think it worth it, and neither did Dime.

I also keep invincibility running, simply because I'm usually the first person into a mob and need the def buff. The def reduction in unyielding is only in the region of 5%, easily compensated for by 3 slotting tough hide. The only thing you do have to look out for os ranged attacks, you have no def against them at all. Up close and personal is where you want to be.

With regards to Unstoppable, I specced it in, and have used it many times to save my skin. it's better than moG simply because you can still be healed when it's running, and it can also be used in conjunction with your toggle powers. I'd certainly miss it. With regard to the crash, you just get a feel for it and withdraw when you think it's going to drop!

I think the same mistake I had when i first rolled a tanker, too many secondaries and not enough primaries, and the fact that TO's are, well, for want of a better word, pants. Slot your primaries more and ignore the secondary attacks once you've got 2, perhaps at the most, 3, including brawl. Unless you're soloing, survivability counts for more than being able to take them down quickly.

Wow, the double 50's are starting to rack up! gratz mate!

Can't, working

Mr ? will need to find another empath I'm afraid, MC or Bou will be unable to attend.

but a Stalker I went up against the other night would AS, immediately use TP (unsuppressed unlike other travel powers) then placate and hide. It doesn't really give alot of opportunity to strike back, especially when you're a squishy.

What really niggles at me is the fact that I'll have to pick something I don't really want or need as a Scrapper in order to counteract the Stalkers. Sure, it takes 2 of them to kill me (Dull pain FTW!) but once they've tried to AS me, I saw one of them continually using TP immediately after the AS and then immediately using Placate. (Which, it would appear isn't suppressed by an attack)

having to pick something 'anti-stalker' just for PvP when in PvE it would next to useless or practically pointless really annoys me! Tactics? yeah, great, waste 2 powers for a pve 5% acc buff. Great! Whirlwind? Um, no. What other options do i have? Practically none!

it's also annoying that as a Kin def, I can ID and Speed boost everyone else to stop them being TP Foe'd, but I can do sod all about myself, so become enemy no. 1, and the first person in a group to be Tp'd.

What I'd like to see is, say, more bounty given for the non squishies. Make the non squishies a more rewarding target, then the squishies might not feel so aggrieved.

Also a current villain tactic is get a MM or other squishy to stand in plain view, with the stalker (or 2) waiting right beside them, then AS when some dumb hero (I did it once or twice!) comes in for a 'free kill'.

Thank you one and all. I'd teamed with many, many nice people, especially Dimension (I just can't get rid of you! ) Quantumhoard and Streakshift who were my near constant companions from the late 30's all the way to 50. Finding a team around the CoV launch was damn hard work, but I was determined to get to 50 before succumbing to villainy, and now I have. having said that, i've got a few alts sitting waiting on some love, so I might still give the villains a miss! Special thanks to those that gave up the villain side to accompany me, and those that were more than happy to leave their alts and help me on my quest.

Here's to the next one!

While this is an interesting idea, what happens if one person has to leave or 1 person can't make it at a certain time? What happend if 1 person is playing an alt and starts a TF and doesn't want to leave? it's a good idea, but ultimately it's not going to work.

You know, i don't think he's actually seen this yet!!

Gratz mate, I was beginning to think I'd be catching and passing you! Sugar, you next pls!!!

I'm still awaiting (with dread) the news that unstoppable has been brought in line with MoG by not being healable. It's the one thing I like about ot over MoG. I can use Dull pain or greens to boost my HP.

Yes, but you can't steer when you're in mid-IR animation. it drops you like a stone, straight down. He was talking about putting IR on Auto fire.

Dimension's second 50, his PB Dark Patriot dinged 50 tonight. I have photographic evidence he used Dreck to get there too!

PROOF!!

Gratz mate, I'll be there with my second 50 soon too i hope! 1.6 levels to go!

Unstoppable has NO resistance or defence against Psionic damage.

Well, you could, but the problem is it's a 'freeze' animation that drops you from the sky when you cast it. Better to be able to cast it yourself as your coming in to land rather than dropping from the sky into a large mob.

As long as it's not about ladies of ill repute being addicted to narcotic drugs, that's fine by me!

75 to a SG is not massive at all. A core of players can easily go over the 75 limit, as many have, and have had to create other SG's to accomodate the level 50 players. The 'main' SG loses out unless the 50's rejoin this SG. There should be an option to 'affiliate' SG's with each other so Prestige can be shared or all given to one SG.

What I've done is spent levels 43-44 not in SG mode, to earn enough to get my lvl 50 SO's so that when I hit lvl 47 I could afford them all (only just, 300k left!) and since then I've been back in SG mode apart from once when I earned 2 million inf in one evening. I've been in SG mode all the time and currently have 140k prestige for the SG. Hopefully this will get a decent boost in todays patch too. At high levels spending a couple of evenings out of SG mode can easily boost your wealth considerably without affecting your SG's prestige too much.
