HIPPO

BIRDEEEEEE

TOOOOOOOO

YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to write up this long winded tl;dr post...

But I'm going to ignore that for now....

More importantly, when is Radiation Armor and Radiation Melee going to be made available?

What happened?

A second ago I was fighting Rularuu.. now I'm his vanity pet?!?!?!?!?!

I think I have it on one or two of my scrappers. Partially, as others have mentioned, there wasn't a better power choice at that particular level.
Secondly, I've used it as a s/l set bonus mule, when I couldn't find a better spot for set bonuses. Thirdly, for a small group I had regularly teamed with I played the pseudo tank and it came in handy on more then one occasion. It also comes in handy for runners.

Hey Johnny, since you've "deemed" yourself the "champion" of Tankers and of raising their dmg cap, why don't you answer the OP?

Ah, JB. It's always nice to see you have such a happy, warm and inviting attitude when you post about tankers, and tank players.

Get more hobbies with the new found free time I'd have.

Highly unlikely that it will. Mid's certainly doesn't show it doing so, and with the recent Hami-O "bug fixes" I wouldn't bet on it either.

I think the +def from Storm Kick will make it easier to run Stone outside of Granite. Shouldn't be too hard to get soft capped to S/L/E/N and Psi with the defense active.

Direction to go on a tank? Forward!

Er I mean...

For an invulnerable tank, please read Call Me Awesome's two Invulnerability tank guides in the tank guides section above. And yes, focus on "Typed" defenses, not positional. Typed goes with Invincibility's strengths.

Download Mid's Hero planner from here: www.cohplanner.com and play with it to see what you come up with. Bring what you've created and post it back here and we'll take a look see.

Important things to remember are the Law of 5 when it comes to set bonuses, and Enhancement Diversification which is more commonly known as ED.

The Law of 5 means that no more then 5 of the same type of Invention Origin Enhancement Set bonus will work for a character at any one time. For example; 5@ 5% recharge bonuses. If you had a 6th 5% recharge set bonus, it wouldn't add any more recharge then the previous 5 as the game wouldn't recognize it. You can however have 5@5% and 5@7.5% recharge set bonuses, etc.

Enhancement Diversification means that the more enhancements of one type, say defense, or endurance reduction, the less effective they become at improving that category. So general thought process is any more then 3 of one type (ie. end reduction) is wasting that slot as it provides a very miniscule improvement. So it's not worth 4 slotting Stamina with just End Mods, or Hasten with 4 recharges. Sometimes it's worth it for set bonuses, but generally it isn't worth the extra slots.

Ok... so I was incorrect about only having the on MM using Poison. I'd forgotten that I also have a Psy/Poison Corruptor floating around as well. (to many Alts, so little mind...er time.) I played around with it a bit last night and remembered how well I liked the combination, even though the toon is still fairly low level.

That being said, I think I'm going to try Plant/TA. It's not that the other combinations aren't also tempting. Who knows, if I don't like this combination I'll just try another. It's not like I'm afraid to move or delete a higher level toon and start over.

Thanks to everyone for their input. It's always fun to get other perspectives on combinations, etc.

Nemesis is a hack... I mean... congratulations Lord Nemesis...

NEED.

MORE.

POPCORN!


Hm.. tomorrow, I start bring in quotes.

The closer you get your Inv. tank to the defensive soft cap, the less likely you'll ever need Unstoppable. I have yet to take Unstoppable on any of my Inv. tanks.

For two great sources of information, please read Call Me Awesome's Guides to Invulnerable tanks here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=112232

I have the perfect inherent for scrappers. Every time they defeat someone, rose petals get sprinkled at their feet...

Thanks for everyone's input so far.

I tried Poison on an MM, and I'm quite sure I'm not ready to try it again just yet.

I keep looking at Trick Arrow, but I'm finding myself hesitant to go that route. I may change my mind and try it on this toon. It's a set I haven't played with much, and I should give it a thorough try at some point.
