Sounds really neat. I'd love to see that, but to be honest, the time it takes to keep a GM/AV drained would probably be time better spent in dumping their regen or doing damage.

Unfortunately this game is pretty much centered around damage dealing. Slows, kb, -acc and end drain seem to be second class citizens in the PvE game here.

Yes there is.

There are some limitations however.



The primary one is that you have to be a dev.

Hullo and welcome to Justice!

Probably some good reading material from the Justice library:

Most of the strategies are modified from Hero raids, most of the info has been compiled/developed/modified over the years by Quat el al.

Note that Justice is kinda casual and tries to avoid requiring special builds and special teams as much as possible to ensure that everyone who does attend can participate, but obviously some things are required and recommended or perform better than others.

Get a room you two.

It's probably as reliable in mitigation as -acc is. Great for minions and lieuts, bosses are probably the limit. Once you see EBs and AVs, it doesn't matter what you do to debuff their endurance (or acc for that matter), they'll just ignore it and keep hitting you.

The only problem with fear is that it will slow down incoming attacks on the brutes, but usually there are more than enough romans to keep the fury bar going.

I've never been a stickler for ATs and power sets, but I guess if I was to have a dream team, it would look something like this:

1. Good kinetic. Speed boost, fulcrum shift. Transfusion spamming for the computer and when rushing rommie and his 3 stooges on the last mission. Usually more than 1 kinetic is overkill but if your kinetic isn't spamming SB and transfusion, you might need 2.
2. Rad or 2. For dumping the regen of the AVs. Also good toggles for herding the generals on the 3rd mission to the computer.
3. Cold def (and/or bubbler). Buff stacking allows for one buffer to hit the def cap on all teammates. Heat Loss is nice and benumb etc. make Cold > FF. FF is nice for Force bub herding but not really much else over Cold. FF Mez protection on 2nd mission isn't a big deal compared to popping a BF, or against Requiem.
4. Brutes...more the better. Damage cap is highest on Brutes and they tend to be a bit sturdier in a scrum than blasters, although a good blaster is a good substitute except for tanking duties against AVs. Bottom line: Fury + Fulcrum Shift + Def cap is easy street.
5. Assorted damage dealers and -regen -resist debuffers. Probably a really good single target blaster for going after the Generals in the 3rd mission at range.

Someone should have vengeance in case a pwnage happens, and rez and tp are always nice too (usually the rad, kin or cold). Brutes and blasters with AoEs are nice, VEATs with non toggle dropping nukes are nice as well, to dump all the minions and Lts. for the countdowns.

Obviously a fake.

With an invincible robot catgurl on your team, there is no way anyone would have gotten below half health, let alone die.

Nice Photoshop work btw.

Some girls are good at being bad...

Plastic Surgeons are accredited by the Board and College of Physicians. They are the ones who are doing the facial reconstruction, skin grafts and hand reconstructions. Implants also are their purview.

Cosmetic 'Surgeons' are physicians of any sort who sell botox injections and other 'minor' procedures. Generally this is the wild west of health care so you have to be very careful of who you choose to see since they do not undergo the same regimen of training that a plastic surgeon does.

IOW, Cosmetic surgeons want you to believe that they are as qualified as Plastic surgeons the same way a Chiropractor wants you to believe that they are as qualified as a Doctor of Medicine.

That is a pretty serious allegation. Do you have any direct proof showing that Cryptic was actively attempting to kill CoH? NCSoft would probably sue the pants off of Jack/Cryptic if there was any such evidence.

I would presume that CoH was suffering from quite a bit of neglect because Jack Emmert was busy working on securing DCU and MUO, and diverting resources to land the 'whales', but that would just be trying to bite off more than he could chew rather than claiming he was trying to commit suicide.

From an external perspective (at the time), it would make more sense to build up the CoX customer base and then sell them the idea of transferring over to something like MUO after it was launched. To try and kill your only cash income stream before the other product has launched makes no sense whatsoever.

Cryptic probably just couldn't afford to keep the development pace of 2 MMOs but their greed forced them to divert critically needed resources from CoX to MUO.

Hey dude, the dating thread is over here.

Heh, I rate people as well but I never really thought it was snobbery but more akin to gear fear. Just like the OP's friend who was concerned they couldn't keep up, I always thought that someone who believes their team NEEDS sets and bonuses or even specific ATs and builds just doesn't know any better. Nothing really wrong with that, but nothing really right either.

Usually those people are at the mid point of the learning curve of the game, where they are just figuring out the mechanics of their toons and haven't truly optimized their playing (yet). Some people may never get past that mentality and will plateau there.

People who figure out their way beyond that usually are a lot more casual about what they bring and will self select their toons to optimize what is best for the team's needs.

A good team leader will make sure that all the basics are covered, a great team leader will make sure also have 2 or 3 alternative plans in their back pocket just in case something happens. Whether a specific person is IOed out or not really doesn't matter then.
