Do any tenker players out there slot taunt enhancements in your attacks or do you rely on gauntlet, and the main taunt powere itself?

[/ QUOTE ]
I used to slot some in my AOE (whirling hands in Energy Melee) but when I respecced I removed them and slotted just for recharge and accuracy. This is much better than those taunt durations cos I get to hit them more so get more aggro with punchvoke... plus it's better as a granite tank doing whirling hands looks cool

I know this is short notice guys but can we have the match on saturday evening 8:30pm its the last day im in uni and when i leave for home i wont have a net connection, i would rather not loose more lives again because i wasnt here for the match, i would rather loose a life because the opposition is better than me. So please can we do this on saturday cant do earlyer because of job and cant do later because of packing and sorting stuff out before i go.

[/ QUOTE ]
I can be there at this time....

aww, I went out tonight as no draw had been made

am assuming that since Xanthus has given the union peeps a week off that the defiant peeps get a week off too??

Don't put a range in TP Friend.

[/ QUOTE ]
It depends when you want to use that TP Friend. If you want to go in the shards then range in TP Friend is a good thing...

Just wanted to say gratz for hitting 50 - would have liked to have been there... but am still knackered from the shard marathon

Hope you enjoy your Peacebringer - and it's just as well you got to 50 as you ran out of task forces to do on dbeaver... and now you get to start TaskForce Saturday from the start again \o/

Gratz again

Claws/DA won't really work well in PvP, methinks, doesn't synergize well. :-/

[/ QUOTE ]
hmm, it's actually not *that* bad in PvP. I was quite surprised but since fights don''t really last long enough for your endurance to run out it seems to handle ok.

Use focus to knock down... run over eviscerate while doing some damage with death shroud

Even cloak of fear works not too badly as hardly anyone seems to resist it...

inspirations are good... although it always made me laugh when someone would swallow about 10 purples when I was chasing them in sirens with my defender. Oh noes, I might hit them for 12 damage!

although this mornings kip did mostly involve lots of dreams about eyeballs, knockback, swirly skys (and purple powers), lastly pink and green outfits...


[/ QUOTE ]

I hear pink and green scarves are "in" this year

[/ QUOTE ]

Even though you were the Tank, you might have notice nearer the end of our 19 hour session that I started attacking mobs first because there was only so long I could stand seeing that...that eye-searing brighness always in front of me

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm still vaguly amused by the fact that as I got more tired, every time Superior Invis dropped off I got a small surprise about the hideousness of my costume.

[ QUOTE ]
Erm, a friend told me claws/da even when rightly slotted, still sucked major end, from the RV test is where he's getting the info from, though.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have a claws/DA scrapper at 33.... I can confirm that endurance seems to seep out the bottom of my toons feet. I tried bigger boots but it really made no effect.

Anyway, someone said drop spin... I find that pretty useful a power when running with death shroud. Spinning ball of fluff, with claws...

[ QUOTE ]
I do plan to team as much as possible, I just don't want to be one of those defenders that when they can't find a team have to stand around twiddling their thumbs. Are there any good primaries I'm overlooking?

[/ QUOTE ]

Dark perhaps.

Tar patch for -res ( better than +dam IMO ) and slow, Darkest night for protection ( -dam -acc ). Fearsome Stare for soft control and -acc. Shadowfall for resistance ( E/N ) and stealth. Howling Twilight for hard control ( disrorient ). I think with Short Circuit and Ball Lightning you should be able to take care of most minions. You get a hold which you can stack with Tesla Cage on Bosses.

But then I love my Dark Corruptor so much...

[/ QUOTE ]
heh that sounds like a fun character. Never really tried dark but sounds tempting...

The only other kinda vague possibility would be Trick Arrow I suppose, but I would have thought taking your bow out and putting it away again as you swap between primary and secondary would start to get tiresome very quickly...

[ QUOTE ]
My thoughts behind possibly choosing kinetics was that I can use syphon power (and eventually fulcrum shift) to boost my damage output. Why is it considered hard to solo a kin? I would have thought this was a more solo-friendlu choice?

[/ QUOTE ]
that's what I thought with mine too... but out of all my defenders my kinetics is the hardest to solo (even my empath feels easier some times).

I think the main problem is that as a kinetics you need to run into the mob and play more in melee range rather than from range... and as a defender you don't really have the HPs to survive being hit on the head, repeatedly, with three hammers at a time.

Plus, as everyone knows, when you most need your buffs to hit, they miss. At least with Empath/Rad you can heal yourself whenever you want...

Saying all that, Kinetics is a very fun primary to have, and when you do get teams you will have much fun Soloing will be doable - particularly with the end drain from your secondary - just think it will be slower than storm

kin/elec does mesh well but I think a lot of people agree that Kins can be quite hard to solo...

I would make a storm/electric

Then you get to pick two fab sets that aren't available in CoV

+ Points

storm is very offensive
easy to solo
so many toys!

- Points

heavy endurance use
hard to see your own costume once you have all your toggles up and running

did you try and do the 4th as well??

omg, well - just finished the third TF and I am too weak. I'm off to sleep and hopefully not dream of giant eyeballs.

What an epic set of battles!

Thanks all those that teamed and all those that helped out throughout the day

7.5 hours in and the first shard TF is done

only 3 more to go

lydda has had to pull out

who were the reserves again?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm almost good to go. I picked up some Shivans yesterday evening, filled up on insps, cleared a mission slot (to knock the rust off my mace) and made sure I was set to heroic reputation (I assume we'll all be setting ourselves to Heroic for the task forces, right? ). Now it's just a matter of moving myself into FBZ tonight and I will be good to go Oh yeah, everyone bring sunglasses tomorrow - you're going to be staring at an 8 foot tall bright green and pink tanker for a ridiculous amount of time

[/ QUOTE ]
hmm, wonder if we should all get matching costumes?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
1) DBeaver - Assault Rifle/Energy Minupulation
2) Golden_Girl - MA/Regen Scrapper
3) ExtraGonk - Warshade
4) Psygon - Illusion/Empath Controller
5) Zootoxin - Katana/SR Scrapper
6) Incandesce - Illusion/Kinetics
7) Lydda - Energy/Energy Blaster
8) Generalissimo 2 - Inv/Mace Tank

Were Ready

Well, I didnt make your list
But thats a good thing... I found out yesterday that I probably wouldnt beable to stick around the for the whole thing; however, I will be on and off most of the day so if you need someone to fill a spot for one of the TFs -- or just to fill spot to start TF -- let me know and if I'm on there is a good chance I can help out. @Cha'ron

[/ QUOTE ]

Dbeaver and his amazing forget people skills... they have been around a long time, infact he's quite fabled for it...

Sorry that you got missed off the list though and thanks for the offers of help throught the marathon. Something tells me we might need all the help we can get!

Just a hunch

Well, the only way you'll know for sure is if you quit out the TF marathon on saturday. You better not! hehe

Dark Blast: Dark Pit (AoE disorient), Tenebrous Tentacles (AoE immob), Life Drain (tohit debuff and small self-heal)

[/ QUOTE ] Just...no, that power is very, very bad.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have it on my empath... and I quite like it, so there!

Actually, the most use I get out of this power is when soloing my empath... hardly ever use it when teamed but if for some bizarre reason I decide that what I want to do is solo one of my missions then this power comes into its own. None of my powers do much damage, this is no exception, but once I had some heals slotted on it I get an average sized heal out

I wasnt gonna say anything but I sawy Psygon had posted, and we all know what that means...

[/ QUOTE ]
you got lost staring into my avatar's eyes??

[ QUOTE ]
I dont agree that we should take O2 boost because its a heal. I dont like how defenders are expected to heal (I got asked on a FF defender if I was a healer...it said in my search profile FF def). People say that the heal isnt too good, but the buff strikes me as useful. I have read posts where people regard it as a buff with a side order of a heal. At the end if the day, its who you are deciding which you pick.

[/ QUOTE ]
Though I totally understand what you are saying here regarding taking O2 Boost, I for one just wouldn't want to lose it from the build on my stormy. Sure I don't want to be an Empath with this toon but the amount of times that heal has been the difference between team alive and team dead just makes me feel it's a very useful power.

And... the ability to stop even a small amount of endurance drain just has to be a good thing in my opinion, making it a very useful tool in the later game.

Personally I loved it and wouldn't be without it (mind you I have all the storm powers as I love them all to bits hehe)
