you dont need any really..

say i go into the bm mish to farm..

ill run lvl 52's at 6 player mobs.its the best run for the money ..with my purpled out fire/kin i can stun them ,run in hit all my toys and fireball in a matter of seconds.and by the time i get to the next mob its all back up again.

i get tough and fire shield cause i think its faster to just firecage and run in and take a hit or two...the object is not to get into melee range until they draw out their crossbows.which is only a quicky second. then run in and blast away. their will be a axe or mace hit maybe in a couple of mobs. but nothing you wont be able to worry about .

it really is about how safe you wanna act..i dont tend to even use flashfire

the whole idea of a scranker burns me..if you dont want the values a tank gets you have a choice to be a brute or a scrapper which would be more the liking.

i just want the new phones to have flash and java so i can at least play some of the facebook game on there..lol

omg my food is gonna spoil!! *tap*tap*tap*tap*tap* ow finger cramp! *tap*tap*tap*

the reason i get tough ( no i dont get weave) is not cause its ok...but it stacks onto fire shield making it worth grabbing.

soft capping isnt worth the effort for a farmer imo..theres nothing that should be giving you that much trouble.

nothing a good fire tank cant handle!..

the ae fix is not the farmers fault


its the devs.wanna know why?

caiuse their selection in the closed beta thats why. when you changed pvp and re-balanced it*again* you had actual pvpers go in and do it.

if you wanna find exploits in making your own missions you dont send 100 people and 50 stand in atlas and post here how awesome the devs are.send in the experts.

i farmed the crap out of this game since issue 2...no invite here so while devs are in beta and their fanbois are too. nothing gets done.

case in point..when inventions came in i was in closed beta.i was the FIRST and ONLY guy to hit the shard for the entire closed beta to test out drops for inventions.i camped it all night and day, but when i was in cb for 5 issues straight all i saw for feeback was

"omg hi posi"

"this issue rocks you devs are the best!"


not much for feedback...next time you select closed betas make sure you got who you need not who your favorites are.

course i dont farm the ae anymore since the xp nerf..i went back to the old standards..so nerf nerf nerf away!..doesnt bother me!

tried to d/l mids tonight..wont work..heres what im getting for an error
..can anyone help?

the vg reserves base is locked for lack of payment kool

i really hope you dont bring those to the first "resistance" meeting mental.

id give ya mine if i could...the two together are just awlful...yeah i know some like it.

but out of all the tank primaries..i have all of them at 50..i play that one the least.

rmts can powerlevel it in a day if you really wanted it fast. but itll cost ya

is that spidey,batman and the power rangers on the art work????..how odd

ive kicked people off my teams for bad builds..ive done it for less then not having stamina.

sounds like you need to roll a fire tank to me cma!.a invul and two stones?..pfft you havent even tasted the tank community yet!..your missing out man!

gimmie 3 bilion and ill give ya the pancea + hp as a enhancment...yes im serious

if you want any of the pancea's your gonna pay through the nose..im seriously serious..no joke.

do you run maxed while dual boxing as well?

it happens all the time if you run in the lowest graphics possible actually.

i use to get actual words pop up on the dreck map while farming it cause my old computer was dual screened and when you popped between them that was what happened

it was like a sneak peek at how they actually make the floor and areas around it.almost like a tile

the color shapes around the statues ive also seen when you run that low all the time..question! were you atl / tabbing to your desktop alot when it happened? and are you running an ati card?

usually to fix it to make it go away you should be able to just move your slider up to another lvl and then save it..then go back in and readjust it back to where you usually keep it.but if your atl tabbing itll most likely happen again..ive had that werid stuff happen for years now.

really everyone should know you go earth/storm


just saying..hell everyone i know has one.

mm is a nub!

correct me if im wrong but invuls back in issue 3 didnt take tough did they cause they capped out in s/l..thats why fire tanks were mad cause they HAD to take it cauase they need the one slot tough ( then nerfed to like 3) to capp out s/l

the one in the red that you wernt sure of from saturdays pictures looks like electra to me...not sure why shes got a red mask though but the outfit reminded me of electra anyways

heh this is kinda odd and shows why so many get got mad back then

issue 4 was released on Wednesday, May 4, 2005. thats where skills was suppose to happen to make us "better"

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Issue_4

issue 5 was the big tank nerf on Wednesday, August 31, 2005

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Issue_5


however on September 14th 2004 states says tanks have too many issues and gives annouces fury to all tanks happiness

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=112261


now how odd it is that with no buffs from fury or skills and only 6 to 8 months later posi and states both say that we arent challeneged enough so there requires a huge nerf to the set to make you feel special

i know issue 5 had a ton of changes to scale defense and all..but i still never saw the logic in the nerf to begin with..would love to get posi's feedback on it onto why they changed their minds

heres the original posting for skills btw..youll notice its not as close off to i.o's as people think.

this system actually was talked about before the issue 5 tank nerf ( was suppose to go live in issue 4)so im thinking they were suppose to go hand and hand possibly.but like i said.

i believe thats why states made up fury to give to tanks in the first place to help with no skills and a giant tank nerf..but as we all know then changed his mind with issue 6 being along came a spider.

Skills are City of Heroes' answer to the ubiquitous MMO crafting system - except they're totally different. Characters will be able to specialize in one of four different skill trees: Detective, Science, Communication, and Scholarship. They can further specialize in various areas of expertise, such as Forensics or Security for the Detective tree. Skills are level-independent and wholly optional; your character will be able to interact with myriad objects during the game, at which point he, (Ed. note: or she ), can attempt a series of skill checks. Success brings new objectives or perhaps some extra experiance. For example, succeeding at a Security check in a bomb infested building might reveal the explosives on the mission map.



Skills are learned and improved by studying at universities throughout Paragon City. You'll earn temporary, expendable skill boosts during missions; these are somewhat similar to inspirations but can also be converted into wisdom, which is used to add permanent skill boosts at the aformentioned universities. As with enhancements, you'll find generic skill improvements as well as stronger, more focused upgrades alon the lines of dual- and single- origin enhancements. The only skill you'll need now, though, is the patience to hold out for all this good stuff.
