Quote:Toss a coin between Dark and Ice.Originally Posted by BalleRyan
I don't know if Stone Melee is for me. I don't want a slow, heavy damaging set. I'd rather have more fast paced attacking. So it's probably between /Dark, /Ice, or /Fire. Can anyone persuade me more to go to one of those? -
Nothing wrong with flight.

22.3 base end cost? With a really long animation time and not instant DoT?
Flamethrower is one of those powers that looks great on paper, but tends to be...variable in game. On teams its great. Solo it can get you killed.
In teams when you can hit upto 10 with it, it'll save you and others endurance by doing better dam per end than a single target and better DPA versus multiple targets, minimizing the number of single target attacks you or others have to use and cutting the fight duration aiding survivability.
I would say that the power can go from nomming endurance up to saving endurance depending on the player. If I don't see atleast targets that I can hit safely I don't use it.
I might put it after stamina based on my own experience, build and my own judgment. -

Quote:MAoEs may as well take PBAoE sets. I am not sure if its worth having alternative set.Originally Posted by Heraclea
I assumed it was an AoE; it takes PBAoE sets. For ordinary tanker play, the difference is probably difficult to notice.
Also, I omitted one AoE in Electric - Lightning Clap, which seems to be similar to Hand Clap. Did not take that one either, but that's a third (or second) PBAoE in the power set. -
If your adamant about some of them slots then they're there for a possible progression, with just 5 mins of my time I'd of progressed it this way:

Oh no! Remake the build from the advice and repost! Better to become a better builder.

Years ago I looked at Barb Swipe and I found it to be a great little attack for people leveling up until their first respec. The end cost/cast time was less than your end recovery so you could quite almost literally keep that toon attacking which to the new player could of meant less down time and more fun.

Quote:Cool, having seen many then can you link me to where someone has said that pls?Originally Posted by AlienOne
Show me somewhere in game where it says "Warshades have to be purple" or "Peacebringers have to be white/lightblue" and I won't make this claim again.
I tire of people saying that those two specific colors are "canon," when in fact, they are not. -

This is my first tread i have made, im looking for help with a build for my Shield Defence/ Electric Melee Tank. I've made a build but it's quite embarrasing to even be a tank xD, I want a tank that is defensive, but also does a good amount of damage, without end issues and a good amount of regen
any help would be good thanks
Don't ever be too embarrassed to post your build if you have one in need of looking at. -
Full Eclipse I am not build suggesting, what I am doing is giving you back slots to play with, things like rechg in Hibernate had to go as it won't do anything. I did do quick changes as a +heal bonus isn't worth having either as your heal has a res component. Something for you to play with further.

The moment after I posted as I remembered its unresistable then deleted, you must of caught it just in time. If you look a couple of posts up I mention also that I barely no a damn thing about Villains.

Quote:Definitely not needed and that's a cheeky out of the box idea I wouldn't of thought of.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Directed at all parties who've mentioned this, not just you... I sure hope a nuke isn't needed, since no one on a Mo* team can cast one.
(I suppose you could get someone parked outside to drop one on you though.) -
Quote:I've no doubts in of an all Controller MoSTF, Defender ones I'd need to think about and I have yet to hear of one. MMs and Corrupters not worried about and I barely know a damn thing about Villains.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
I would think an all defender team might be one of the easiest ways to get a Mo.
MMs, Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors would be the easiest way, IME. -
Quote:An all Stalker team sounds interesting and Maneuvers maybe key but it doesn't have to be with scrappers.Originally Posted by Dispari
People were discussing a Stalker superteam a while back, and the easiest conclusion was that people could do RES/regen/heal builds and everyone take Maneuvers. 8 Scrappers running Maneuvers equates to nearly +30% DEF. The rest they can pick up with small bonuses, CJ, DEF already in their set, or a friendly Shield Scrapper.
WP would be capped in everything but S/L with the extra +30%. With CJ, Weave, and Steadfast, could be capped in S/L as well. And could have about 53% RES to S/L if Tough is taken. Very little would be stopping a team like that. -
From Kingsnakes post:
Quote:Yes.Softcapped heros + res and selfheals will go a long way.
Not necessary but handy. We won't need a medic.Quote:Add in a scrapper with medican to play "medic" for patchwork, and you prolly have a soild Mstf team.
You will need a certain amount of def and res. I am focusing on getting the mix right on our next run to work out exactly how it can be that any type of scrapper can do it.Quote:Have the guy tanking LR at the end stack purples and oranges.
No need to be fussy on the builds too much, no need for leaderships at all, doable even without Shields in the team, we don't have a shield, 2 people max could do with an IO build really. You would overkill the qualities required to get it done and so you are really 100% correct in that it is far from the hardest thing to pull off.Quote:Of all the AT's in game, an all scrapper MoSTF doesn't sound like it'd be the hardest one to pull off. Eh, with proper builds, stacking leadership, and IO bonuses, getting a team for the soft cap isn't a massive challange, and then your pretty much good to go for a master run. I'd imagian a team of softcapped blasters with a "medic" would make a mockery of it with there massive damage output. Throw in a few sonic blasters and it just gets scray.
That applies to anything uncommon.Quote:Fact of the matter is, as much as i LOVE this game, it's really not what i'd consider overly difficult. Alittle preplaning and a good knowlageable group of frineds, you can do most anything with ease in this game. -
Quote:The whole point in it being brought up is just to say what scrappers are capable of. I don't know if you would say an all defender team are capable of an Mo but you may say that an all defender team maybe quickest. An all Controller team may capitalize overall on both time and lack of defeats. An all Scrapper team may capitalize on actually achieving the Mo standard. The different 1AT teams may actually have different advantages either way one flexible scrapper can without question create a lot of survivability for a unspec'd team.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
Not on a Master.
No, I am sure they are good, solid players. I also feel its fine they want to be secretive. It just makes no sense to come to the forums and talk about a secret. -
Quote:No Nukes needed.Originally Posted by Leo_G
Meh, probably used nukes.
But besides that, unless specifically specified, I doubt they used some magical 'new' tactic that no one else thought of. Keeping it secret just makes you the person not to bother with to ask for advice....but then I'm the kind of guy that never uses guides and comes up with his own builds and tries stuff out on his own so it doesn't bother me at all.
You are wrong about my helpfulness as I have helped many. I do help people get from A to B but not A to C.
You are though the sort of person from your words "but then..." onwards that I would find commendable.
I do believe that often people can't help themselves and have to tell everyone what they did so if anyone was using the same techniques the odds are that the info would exist somewhere on the internet...but it doesn't outside of a PM.
I have no doubts other people can come up with the same techniques and I have no doubts that someone else maybe currently using them and keeping it from people too. Spirit of gaming and all that. -
Quote:I don't know about not making sense, people experience different things and could worry about things to come in some way or another.Originally Posted by Socorro
The statement doesn't make sense any other way? If she mean't when teamed, well, any AT can 'easily' take AVs on a team of 8.

Quote:Is your build basically all Blapper and Proc'd?Originally Posted by BadBad_Girl
But again not all that difficult. Bobcat got me a few times had to change tatics on her. Neuron again nailed me once really good. Almost 2nd time but I did strategic retreat. Anti Matter actually wasnt bad. Full tray of insp helped there. Got him down and 1sec later light form crash (really lucky)
-
If I don't tell you anything and yet lets say you also did it, then I think that is better than, you being told and then doing it. You'll work it all out if it stays on your mind.
All Scrapper MoSTF with proper settings is possible and with a good time to boot. -
I do not like your choice of words Alien One, but back on the subject I am not at all concerned about power customisation for Khelds. To me they are both part of a race and it maybe as like the human race can only customize so far...but with Going Rogue coming up I think it would be nice if should your Peacebringer be bad then their power effects darken. Like light sabers, erm I think, really. With Warshades they could darken even further.
Some people may decide that they are nothing to do with the Kheldian race and so a full set of options should be available. Rather than go into Dwarf Form one could go into a larger, similarly coloured and armour plated as Dwarf form, but Humanoid form (For want of an easy alternative). -
Quote:What's the point in doing something then telling people how so anyone can do it?Originally Posted by StratoNexus
*sigh*
Isn't it in the spirit of gaming to let people be just as challenged as you were?
I read a guide, made by players a couple of years ago and I thought "Well I don't need to buy the game now".
We can do a pic of us standing over Lord Recluse or every AV, with them targeted to show their lvls and that's the best I can offer.
