Its not really IF you can solo a pylon on a softcap blaster...its HOW FAST?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not about how fast it's about WHAT ATTACKS!

It's not about WHAT ATTACKS it's about NO TOGGLES!

It's not about no toggles it's about NOT USING SECONDARIES!

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Congratulations to OP for doing something that 99% of blasters cannot do.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know theres always a higher mark to reach, but this is not the accomplishment level of soloing TFs or somesuch that requires a serious investment in patience and time, plus having a near perfect build.

Soloing a pylon is indeed something that 99% of blaster CAN do if they choose to build some simple sets to get soft capped ranged, then come up with a 150+ DPS attack chain to overcome the pylons regen. Its not rocket science to achieve those two metrics, so with a small amount of patience and planning 99% of the blasters out there could indeed solo a pylon.

For that reason I have to push the bar a little higher to see how fast/no insp/no temps...etc can be added to make the accomplishment a bit more restrictive in who can actually accomplish it.

Heck doing it at all is an accomplishment, but for us been there, done that, got the T-shirt types the bar has to be raised a bit to see what the true ceiling is.

So no knock on soloing a pylon, but I still want to know how FAST can I solo a pylon?

The game within the game within the game.

Lol right...

So you mean like how a Scrapper can't solo a giant monster, and how a radiation/illusion controller can?

Didn't regeneration get hit hard with diminishing returns?

Why do rich people race yachts? They could get there faster with a motorboat or helicopter.

It's FUN.

This

I believe it is sonic/energy for doing the most damage, but I am not sure.

That was a very good explanation of what this MMO is and couldn't have put it better myself.

It took me around 15 mins to do it with my archery blaster, haven't done it with my fire blaster yet.

While TK blast is very nice at L4 its not so nice once you hit L18 and compare it to bitter ice blast and blaze - both of which do more damage and cast just as fast.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am going to paraphrase Castle, you should not compare any Tier 3s to Bitter Ice Blast and Blaze because they are not what Tier 3 blasts should be. Blaze and Bitter Ice Blast are going to get nerfed hard in terms of damage when Castle gets around to.

The purple problem consists of the one eye one horned flying purple people eater!

Congrats! It's always fun to meet a fellow blaster crazy enough to try stuff like this

Right off, you have 1 too many bonuses of +2.5% recovery and it's wasted.

[/ QUOTE ]

O thank you for pointing that out! I didn't even bother to look at my bonus list lol.

This is an updated build, gave him more ranged defense by six slotting Impale with Thunderstrike.

I can't really seem to get any help with my da scrapper so here it is.

[/ QUOTE ]

What is it you think is wrong with your build? Yeah I did things a tad bit different on my Spines/DA but it's not really that far off from yours.

[/ QUOTE ]

It isn't that I am looking for what I did wrong but if there are any ways that I can improve that build on.

Yeah, same here. The green really gets in the way of some of my costumes. It looks awkward having orange hasten and green auras from regen plus whatever other color auras for my costumes.

But... I'm not holding high hope for them allowing customization of those kinds of things. Blasts and imps and whatnot, sure, but Invuln and Regen type toggles? I'm not so sure.

O yeah that's another thing Hasten's orange glow is going by by along with Super Speed's annoying orange pad.

I can also see me nerfing the green color of regeneration

I didn't buy the Luck of the Gamblers with influence. I bought them with Merits.
