The other thing is that the Cyst itself blows up when you kill it, with enough force (Fire + Smashing damage) to kill anything short of a Tank or a Dull Pained Scrapper.

You don't need Dull Pain. My /dark scrapper can take the explosion from a Cyst. I generally use dark regen just before it goes to ensure I'm at full health, and I've seen other scrappers take the blast. Blasters and defenders nearby, on the other hand, fall like flies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well Dark Scrappers have near 40% res to neg energy whilst dullpained regens might need 40% more health. All of this is saying stuff without much reference to level and luck. Has anyone truly worked out the damage of these things? All I know is in seeing for example Crey and a Cyst with Nictuses you can pull the Crey leaving the Nictus to do seperately or you can have a Tank head on in if numbers are low enough. What people don't do is allow enough time for the Tank to select and gain the right aggro for others to survive or stay in the most obvious place for survivability...away from the cyst.

If you bothered to read what was written, rather than just trying to write all the time, its fire/smashing damage that come from the explosion.

I think most people know who play the game well and pay attention know this though.

Kheldians have been of the least interest to me I have said many times before. As to what I do all the time you wouldn't know. I made no reference to the explosion btw I pretty much only read what Spidermonster said without reading what he was quoting and remembered the last time I came across these things the surrounding nictus + groups were enough. Nictus damage is negative and it effectively stacks with any type of damage to drop anyone which doesn't help. It helps to have enough of a healthbar left before the explosion.

I always word things in ways that people may decide to add or take things away and if they tarnish me with anything they tarnish me with their own expectations and from that I can see if they are have a positive or negative character. Negative can mean bitter. My way of getting to know people.

When your on lvl 30 Katana/SR talking to a lvl 48 MA/SR and ask him why he has no evasion?

[/ QUOTE ]

I remember that long road from about 30 to 35 with only Lucky for AoE protection. Was not a lot of fun against Nemesis.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why I only have one SR. Yes SR is my favourite scrapper secondary, no I will never play it from 30-35 again.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would fall back and let a ranged attack do the finish and cause the PBAoEs. A lot of scrappers on their last strip of health would finish off a jaeger and thus finish off themselves.

Having a complete taunt set in an aura would be silly but getting a complete taunt set in the power taunt wouldn't be. I'd definitely love them on my kheldians antagonize. That'll be my first thing.

I can see how Aid Self works better for claws. Knockbacks or the Knockdown is just right amount of time for Aid Self.

I am one of those people who'd happily take others peoples word for it. For if I have no reason or evidence to call someone a liar then they are not a liar.

To burn through end you have a low cast time attack chain and to have poor recovery you would normally have too many toggles. In long fights its a mix of both. You just have to wait it out really till you get more slots. End slotting attacks instead of recharge where you can and getting good end recovery where you can.

Hold up a minute. When at eluded levels of defense not a lot hits you but DoT can be a bit of a curse. DoT with -Def a bigger curse. Aid self is interruptable but choosing a moment often reduces its interruptability. You haven't had it long. So often do people pick a power up and cry "aaargh", respec out and then don't get to find its overall usefulness that often may come later. ToF still there? I'd of ToF'd to aid self but Nems I believe are a little bit more resilient to it. Siphon Life doesn't get interrupted but it does require you in melee, can miss and still lower your dps. With a build of 45% def without elude you don't need elude and so really thats for PvP. I currently find the heal from siphon life too small personally. Plenty more of the game to look at than just Nems. Who SRs hate anyway. At 50 I only find Shadow Servants particularly hard other than alphas as a Claws/SR with Aid Self. 45% def and Aid self is pretty survivable up on the UFO you can have aggro cap, open grates, touch the bomb and be back in the centre in time for tea.

I think its great, I have been to 2 places in Russia and met a lot of lovely, lovely people and the drink was great too. Moscow and Krasnoyarsk. Its nice to see Russians portrayed as goodies as so often in media you see otherwise. Keep up the good work!

First thing that smacked me hard up in the face was 3 recharge PB. The third is just 4 secs. 1 slot for 4 secs. Is that so important? Could that not of come better from a bonus?

Secondly PVE wise regen isnt so important when your high def and have a super recharged aid self...

From PvE to PvP +rechg is probably king.

DA self stacks.

Those Hami-Os should all be some of the most expensive in the game = ouch.

I'd probably sooner Maneuvers and Tactics than Foc Acc and Resuscitate.

I don't PvP and I almost know absolutely nothing about PvP. Atm.

On my stonetank when I levelled all my getting old slots went red and I was total poo. Shame they didn't keep the old granite look.

I think Defiant is a great PVE server. Union has RP and PVP so people say. Well with all the firsts and oftens that keep accumulating on Defiant is PVE without question then. Vigilance players I find great because they seem to play with so much respect for the enemy and look out for eachother so well and Zukunft villains level so damn fast XD but saying that I don't know everyone.

No one cares about damage per endurance lol.

You should do while your PLing your buddy toons.

Everything done right you have just enough fight duration to self to fight as many foes in the least amount of time. Fury increases Dam per End and the quickest way to build fury is to get hit. This in turn makes Brutes a support set like tanks but for alternative reasons being a villain.

Dark is an end hog if you run CoF and DS at the same time. It often makes sense not to though. I think DB/Dark would be awesome to play personally.

No one wants to do it then? Last call i guess, come on guys, dont any of you want a shiny shiny badge? =)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd like to do it.. be previous teams presented, they haven't been able to do it without dying. That and my Badge-[censored] is my Controller (Fire/Emp) and people don't seem interested in a few AT combi's as they're incapable of doing the TF with them, too busy min/maxing because they are kinda "[censored]" at doing it with "non" min/maxed teams. *shrugs* excludes alot of people really, that arrogance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Concept first. I made a vow that the next STF I will tank would be an all scrapper stf and thats not going to change ever. I hate players that need certain sets with an absolute vengeance in fact I have kicked so many of my global for it that I have known for years. Now I barely know anyone.

i was wondering if its possible to have a storm/psi build that does ok in PvP and PvE

[/ QUOTE ]

No, sadly a good build for the first would mean a crippled build for the latter, and viceversa

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. I think the game is wrapped up so that no ones character can be good or the best at everything. You build to achieve one objective and you don't satisfy the requirements of another. Teams and team dynamics PVP or PVE could compensate for what you are or aren't capable off.

Storm is an awesome set. I used to dislike them but not now. Now I realize just how good they really are.

Try not to make a lesbian catgirl. They are getting 2 a penny.

Gratz to you all!

Anymore details? I have only got to lvl 5 so far. My working hours change on a daily basis and I have barely been on, what can I say.."Roll on xmas".

[ QUOTE ]
Well, it is Defiant

[/ QUOTE ]

Well done the whole of Defiant then

Gratz to you all!

You guys are [censored] Brilliant!!

/em fishslap!

I was in the hospital for some of this but a really hard Longbow EB mid 30 levels and his mates wiped the team. All but for the fire/fire brute (really good brute) The brute fought on but went down to next to nothing end. I am pretty sure it then became a taunt burn taunt burn game till we all got back to help finish off what little was left.

I "generally" look at it all as taunting and smack talk. Boxers do it before a match. Its all RP to me. What language is used and the extent things get to changes much though as I do know things can go too far and be distressing. Its all about how far things go. Even ignoring someone can become an act of bullying.

On villain side, someone coming into the VG stealing everything would just be someone RPing a villain XD .

I think 1 death is as good as 0. Your obviously good enough.
