Also, as MaX says, once gauntlet is fixed (again) a non-taunt build will be perfectly viable with the only problem being mobs who stay at range/run away and there are ways around that

Aura and gauntlet will be poo against AVs after the changes.

Castle disagrees:

[ QUOTE ]
Auto-Hit powers roll a To Hit check, but then ignore the result (ForceHit = TRUE) However, since the Gauntlet effect is ForceHit = False vs. AV's, that portion of the power still uses the To Hit check. So, Invincibility if unmodified in any other way, would have a 55% chance every second of having the Gauntlet effect take effect.

Honestly, though, the effect should be pretty transparent. If you have an aura on and are constantly attacking, there is a virtual certainty that you will be able to grab and maintain aggro on an AV or GM within a couple seconds of engaging.

Some interesting discussion in this thread on the US forums including a more detailed explanation from Castle on how it works.

I'd be interested if you want to do this after xmas sometime

They don't have health but all MM pets have a base regen.

[/ QUOTE ]They don't, however, have any special +regen, it's just the general base regen that all players and critters have.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is exactly what I said

[ QUOTE ]
MaX is actually right this time. They up their health draining attacks. Personally I dont find it worth slotting them for this, but then I've always thought Siphon Life was over rated. Would much rather have more control in the lich, more acc/damage in the knights and the zombies need you to keep them alive anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree I have both zombies and knights slotted 2 Acc and 3 Damage and as a /dark MM I can far outheal anything they can do anyway

[ QUOTE ]
And I'm not entirely sure if they *do* have Health. I wonder if anyone's got a list of MM Pet attacks and what slotting does for them.

[/ QUOTE ]

They don't have health but all MM pets have a base regen. However, only the pets with heals can be slotted with heal enhancements so logic would suggest that these only enhance the pets heals. This game is not always logical or bug free but in the absence of some actual testing I would suggest MaX is more than likely correct.

Count me in for PA drop team

That seemed to go well. Cheers for arranging yet another successful Hami raid.

Good question. Does it improve their health regen as well as their self heal? Inquiring minds want to know!

Love to but will be Hami raiding on Onion. Maybe next year.

Disruption and glue stack since they're LBAoE's, and thus are actually cast by summoned entities, not the player. The rest don't stack.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure glue arrow is a targetted AoE.

Disruption Arrow and Oil Slick are the location based AoEs.

You know about the Warwolves thing right?

Heh that didn't take long. Cheers

Happy Natalis Solis Invicti

I will probably show up for this in my Fire/Kin corruptor called Bimble. He seems to be pretty easy to spawn (done it on a number of heroes) so it shouldn't take long.

When were you thinking of farming the PPs?

That's similar to my experience. I've managed to solo him with every one of my heroes and all the villains I have tried so far with the difficulty ranging from Heroic to Invincible. The one exception has been my tri-form PB, also level 32.

For me I think the problem is lack of slots. I only have a couple of slotted attacks in human form, shields and self heals are also not well slotted. If I were to try again in the late 30s/early 40s after Light Form I think I could take him.

Nice guide FireKitty

the stumbling block was that one of the hostages in the second mish decided to get stuck runing up and down the lifts

[/ QUOTE ]

I've noticed this happen a bit recently. The trick seems to be that everyone else stays well clear when the person with the pet/hostage/whatever is going through lifts or doors. Better luck with the TF next time.

Thanks to everyone who turned up (villians too - kept us on our toes ). We managed a lot of AV kills to not very many hero losses and I think most of us got at least 1 set of AVs. I ended up with the set on one character and just missing Sirocco on another. Good fun

For those that missed it this time, watch this space... (probably in the new year)

Tough is useful for taking the alpha strike. Personally, I don't think weave is worth it on a regen.

[ QUOTE ]
That explains a lot, cheers for the info. Any ETA on the fix? Also, this almost completely breaks Tanks IMO. How they hell did someone not catch this before the patch went live?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was known about before the patch went live over here, there were several threads on the US forums about it. Personally, I've stopped teaming with my tanks until this gets fixed. Hopefully Castle will get a fix in soon.

Posi really is so much easier with small teams.

With a bit of luck the TF will get a revamp now the continuity with the new Faultline doesn't make any sense.

Grats on your first 50. May there be many more
