Rangle M. Down

I've always thought it would be nice to have safeguards/mayhems available through the Ouro System. I have my lvl 50 badge toon that still hasn't gotten those badges yet and it certainly would make it easier to get them.

Hasten works with Granite Armor so no worries there.

Granite armor covers some things, but not the specific things New Dawn mentioned. There are also occasions where the added Regen from rooted is quite helpful.

What they all said.

What power selections have you made so far, and at what levels?

How have you slotted them?

Mid's Hero Planner can be your friend.

Questions:

• Are you already running an Elec/Nrg tank, and if so, what do you have going on with it so far?
• Do you have a build in mind, if so please post it here using mids so we can make suggestions.
• What are your desired goals with the build? I.E. Defense? +Recharge? +HP, Power selection/order, etc?
• Is it a leveling up build or a respec at 50 that will never exemp, or something you plan on hitting every TF in the game?

If you can add a little something to your question I'm sure someone will be able to give you a response.

From my understanding, the timing changes to /Nrg has made the powerset "nerfed" in many players eyes, so you probably won't get many positive responses to that portion of your request. (I haven't played /Nrg so I really couldn't say)

Best of luck.

I saw this on a movie marque in 2001

Really wish I'd taken a picture of it.

I agree that endurance issues for some AT's should be looked at for i17 and GR...


Oh wait. This isn't that kind of thread.


Uhm. Vitality. As this has been a continually evolving game (see CoV, GR and the upcoming i17 ) I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Ultra Mode will provide a new graphics engine/mode, but not one that will break the game for those with older hardware.

As more manpower has been added to the game staff improvements that we were told would be difficult, or nearly impossible given the constraints to staffing, have been achieved. Power customization for one example. It is of course a work in progress as there is more that can be accomplished in that area.

The Dev's continue to tweak, stretch, pull and prod the original game engine to make it do more and better things for the game. (I'm not talking PvP here, so my apologies there.)

They continue to add content to the game, though some of it hasn't made the full player base satisfied.

This isn't, and hasn't been CoX v.1 in a long time. I'm not sure it would qualify as CoX v.2. Probably more along the lines of Cox v.3.21, but that's really my opinion, nothing based on facts.

So no. I think they should continue doing what they're doing. Finding ways like GR to broaden this silly fun game we play and make it more enjoyable.

Thanks much to everyone who showed up for Tanker Tuesday Justice. The Master portion of the MoITF ended up not working out, but we still had a successful ITF in the end.

Hope everyone had a fun time. If not, blame Warboss.










Just kidding.... of course.

Dark Melee is certainly more focused on ST attacks, not AoE's. I do enjoy playing my Dark/Dark tank as she can tank most thing quite nicely. She doesn't do great damage, but she survives nicely.

When I get around to making another Dark/ tank I'll be leaning more towards /Electric or /Mace. In the end I suspect I'll be rolling up a Dark/Electric first.

Kewl idea. It means anyone with this power can grief lowbies and others by throwing them into a large mobs, or even GM's! "Hey Lusca, how about a nice DP blaster for lunch! "



Not saying I'd do it, but you know there would be lots of folks who would abuse this idea.

I found an AE mission that I've used to see how well my resist based tanks can hold out to overall damage with defense debuffs. I believe it's called Fire Kin Master's AE, and I've run it at +0x8, no bosses.

My Fire/Fire/Pyre can't survive the onslaught of damage in the mission as well as my Dark/Dark/Earth can. Dark Regen just makes it so much easier to survive.

Welcome to the tank forum.

First off, can you do us a favor and show us what your current build is? Mid's Build planner is a great tool for builds.

Secondly, you mentioned Acrobatics. I hesitate to get Acrobatics for a tank as the endurance cost outweighs the benefits you get from it. Although Active Defense is a click you end up with more status coverage then just Acrobatics alone. Plus AD gives you some defense de-buff resist, which for a shield tanks is very very helpful.


Go back and get your primary's status effect protection and throw in two recharges. In the long run it will help.

Once you've posted your build here, we'll have a better idea of what suggestions we can make.

No hate or grumpiness intended here. Sorry if it came across that way. I was trying to point out that the OP was correct in that they had looked at the Fury mechanic for Tanks, but that it never happened, at least not live.

Having read many other threads around the forums discussing this same idea, I was under the impression that the reason tanks never received the fury mechanic was two-fold. To paraphrase "it would make tanks overpowered" compared to scrappers. To much damage for such a high level of survivability was always the reasoning brought forth. The second obviously being it ended up being used for Brutes.

I also added Castle's quote stating it would never happen for tanks.

I do think Gauntlet is a mediocre at best inherent, but until someone comes up with a better idea it's what tanks are stuck with.

Uhm. My Fire/Fire and SD/SS tanks mow groups down like a scythe through wheat. The orange numbers may not be as big as a brute/scrapper, but they're still nice numbers.


At one point I'd sent a PM to Castle asking if it was feasible in the game to do a single target Fury like mechanic for tanks. Not even asking for it, just asking if it was technically possible as I was curious about it.

His response

Makes statement that Animated Hair is coming in the next issue based on foolishly taking one of BaB's jokes as a serious comment.

Takes a swing at "The Chin".

CoD works fine for a tank. Gives you a little added defense, which is nice. If you don't have your taunt auras up or don't attack anything you can use it to stealth missions. Beyond that it has no effect on your ability to hold aggro. I use it constantly on my lvl 50 Dark/Dark without problems.
