    Task force bug

    my superteam decided we wanted to start Posi TF at level 10. we knew it would be tough at first but as we leveled up, it would get more managable. well, i submit this as a bug because I can't possibly imagine a scenario where this would make sense as a design decision but we were permantly locked in to level 10. we got to train up and all that (we made it to 12 before +6 COT became unmanagable) but remained exempted to level 10. How in the world does this make sense? maybe one of you can enlighten me to why this would be the case.

    I can understand that with superteaming linking our level to the highest of the team and I can even understand having the baddies be 15s and 16s no matter what but when a team of lvl 10s starts it, if we level up, we should no longer be 10. all members are now 11. Let us play at level 11. who has time to do a posi TF at -5 and -6 to the baddies?
  2. i can't see videos at work but I hope that is a grav troller droning a huge group at once
  3. cold/rad is better than cold/ice

    storm/rad is better than storm/ice

    kin/rad is the best as you mentioned

    dark/rad is the best and will be my next defender

    sonic/rad is better than any other choice

    FF/rad is the best

    traps/rad is the best

    ta/rad is the best (irradiate on top of oil slick burning? yes please)

    emp/rad if you are only going to very rarely attack, why not have one of them be irradiate and the other be comsic burst? exactly.
  4. i agree. /rad is the best

    i said it was best, not statistically the most effective across all sets.
  6. i didn't say everyone would be ready to hear it.
  7. what is your goal for this build?

    also, as a side note, i wish people would post the bonus list instead of just the data chunk and link. those of us on work computers don't have mids
  8. /rad is the best defender secondary
  9. i'm only going to count 50s:

    Scrappers:
    claws/regen
    bs/regen
    spines/regen
    ma/sr

    Blasters:
    ice/ice
    ice/energy
    fire/energy
    fire/elec
    psy/energy

    tankers:
    fire/ss
    ice/fire

    Defenders:
    kin/psy
    cold/rad
    ff/elec
    storm/sonic
    rad/ice

    controllers:
    ice/rad
    fire/kin
    earth/kin
    ill/ta
    ill/emp
    grav/emp
    grav/storm

    brutes:
    ss/fire
    energy/energy

    corruptors:
    ice/sonic

    dominators:
    fire/psy
    fire/ice
    mind/psy

    epics (both sides)
    warshade

    i think that is all

    The concept is this:

    A knight has lost his sword in a battle with an evil wizard. During the fight, the wizzard summoned electricity to try and fry the knight. The knight blocked the blast with his shield but the metal in the shield transfered that power into his body so now, instead of fighting with a sword he has to use his electric power to fuel is punches. If he tries to hold a sword it will immediately melt. This angers him so he goes around killing huge groups of villians in a very short amount of time. He is dead set in his ways so he likes to find just one or two types of bad guys and just thin the herd for hours on end. That way, the evil bosses won't have so much support. Sort of a magical, medieval war of attrition character.

    can anyone come up with a build that would fit this concept?

    yeah, you are right, i was leaning toward ma/da but spines/regen is certainly more accurare.
  13. there is a club? how do i join?
  14. you can afk farm for pvp ios? i'm sure this isn't the case.... could someone PM me with how one would go about NOT doing that?
  15. why is everyone so obsessed with getting to the soft cap for their defense?
  16. is that 7% defense really worth it when everything is going to be dead so fast anyway?
  17. people dual box on pugs? i just do it for farming and occasionaly for accolades/tfs

    Nice!

    Granted, Elec/shield is a pretty terrible build, the defenses have to suck, but it'd be fun to mess around with.
    this is my favorite post in this thread
  19. i've noticed some of the yellow salvage dropping in price but thats about it.
  20. I wish i would have entered, what were the winning characters? powersets/ATs etc?

    no, because his favorite color is purple. PI calls his name and sometimes the wall in Cim

    Fire Kins

    ummm, it was proactively but I knew i was preparing to do something stupid.

    Fire/Elec

    liberal use of jumping makes melee not so dangerous. when i play blaster i'm all over the place jumping in and out of melee. i just use charged armor and that clicky power whose name i can't remember from //elec
  24. i wish there was an epic that fit the theme. a defender version of munitions would be nice
