I think Sonic Grenades were flagged to be resistible in a recent patch. Don't quote me on it though, Longbow Nullifiers still seem as deadly as always and I hate them more than anything ingame.

Shield/Dark and Shield/Fire Tankers are confirmed AV soloers
Dark/Ninjitsu Stalkers can do a few of the weakest AVs
The best melee AV soloers are Brutes and Scrappers though -

With a trio like that, you won't (shouldn't) be dying at all, so powers like Mutation, Fallout and Vengeance are out of the picture.
You'll usually get more mileage out of running Assault/Maneuvers than Tactics. As for Choking Cloud, it's not a very good power by itself, but stacked x3 can be very good.
As for Sonic powers, Shriek, Scream, Amplify, Howl (and maybe Screech) is all you'd need . I'd stay away from the Nuke (very counterproductive as a rad) and Shout (loooong animation, impractical for stacking -res, does low DPA) -

Good idea.Just 1 poblem.
Isnt the complaint about Brutes being There Endurance?If so, why take combat jumping thats a Toggle that takes Endurance?
Since when does electric armor have any endurance problems? that's like saying that /regens have a regeneration problem
And CJ only costs like 0.02 end/sec
...
I think the OP mentioned Zephyr and Steadfast IOs...Quote:Originally Posted by Fire_Minded
Grounded also grants KD & KB Protection.Combat Jumping does not. -
Kraken, Paladin, Babbage, Adamastor, Croatoa GMs and Jurassik are some good ones to try.

Quote:Incorrect, outdoor Monsters tend to be more like GMs (which is why DE Monsters are listed as GMs in AE) and for the effects of this discussion, will remain GMsOriginally Posted by Krogoth
The enemies on Monster Island in PI aren't GMs at all, they are Monsters; Monsters tend to be more like AVs than GMs.
CorrectQuote:Originally Posted by Krogoth
There are a few differences between the two:
First, while GMs technically have levels, they scale with the level of those attacking them, Monsters don't do this.

Monsters also tend to have higher regen and debuff resistances but lower hit points than GMs. -
Sounds a little too carebearish and playdoll-like, I'll pass.
-
Also note that the GMs in PI are level 50, and therefore have the debuff resistances of a level 50 (85%) which means the effectiveness of your LR is dramatically reduced compared to say, against a level 40 GM such as Jurassik (outdoor version, Crey's Folly). Along with the Kronos Titan (outdoor version, Founders Falls) these are the toughest GMs to take down.
As for how much DPS you need, that's kind of irrelevant when you're playing a rad. If you got it to 75% health then you should be able to finish the job as long as you pull one far enough off the coast to avoid adds. You can also try these GMs in the AE for more convenience. -
Quote:Because many noubs out there have heard that Fire/Kins are good powersets and they want to try them out (usually unsuccessfully, I can count the good **'s I've encountered with the fingers in one hand).Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Anecdotal evidence is fine when used to illuminate an obvious reality.
fire/kins are essentially their own AT while ar/devs and fire/fires are at extinction levels.
Why do you think that is?
It's no secret that **'s are popular, but saying that AR/Dev Blasters or Fire/Fire Tankers are extinct is simply absurd. Many times have I assembled Task Forces (including STF, ITF and assorted Phailanx TFs) and I've ended up with 2-3 of said builds in my teams. I play on Virtue btw, so thematic/concept builds may be more common there.
Edit: Also I find it amusing that the boards censors **'s (a common abreviated nomenclature of Fire/Kins) -
Quote:I don't see how that proves anything or is otherwise relevant to this topic. Forming a team randomly to do a TF once is hardly definite proof of the state of the game and/or playerbase preference.Originally Posted by Fulmens
Silverado:
So how is it that when I randomly invited the first seven people who'd come to a TF a couple months ago, I got zero Fire/fire tanks, zero AR/Dev blasters, and two Fire/Kin controllers? -
You forgot the most important part: on what AT?
-
I think the OP has a valid point, and while I don't remember half the playerbase being Fire/Fire Tankers or AR/Dev Blasters back in the day on my server, I'd say that's justified because both Fire/Fire and AR/Dev are thematic combos that may attract many players regardless of power level (they still do) and are fun to play, to boot.
What are the overpowered combos nowadays? I'd say Illusion/Radiation. It fits the OP's analogy in the sense that entire teams gather ingame to tackle threats that an Ill/Rad can do while semi afk, and I don't see half the playerbase today being Ill/Rad. Why? because it's not exactly a thematic-friendly build like Fire/Fire or AR/Dev, nor they have the same level of 'fun factor' (IMO, highly subjective). In fact, Fire/Fire and AR/Dev builds are still more common nowadays than Ill/Rad -

Ok, whatever you say

Calm down, it's just an opinion

All those powers are ranged

Quote:I think it's very clear who the cranky person is hereOriginally Posted by Aggelakis
That's like saying anyone with Dark Blast has access to the Dark Pit power, and they should all take it. Well, yeah, they have access to it, but not everyone wants to take it, and not everyone *SHOULD* take it.
Everything in this game is about you (each individual player) having fun, not appeasing some cranky other player who wants to tell you how to play your character.
If you don't want to play with tanks/brutes that don't take taunt, quit the team, don't tell them they're doing it wrong.

Quote:I never said they were. They both have access to the power and they both should take it, words in mouth etc.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Brutes aren't Tankers.

With a Bane/Huntsman hybrid you get... let's see
Web Envelope, Venom Grenade, Build Up, Mace Beam Blast, Mace Beam Volley, Frag Grenade, Heavy Burst, and the Patron AoE of your choice. Sure, it has a bit of redraw, but it's not that bad actually, and you can just keep going and going with a string of neverending AoE attacks (as long as your end bar lets you) -
[Taunt] is a must for any Tanker/Brute who isn't a joke.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Yeah I wasn't very thrilled with the endurance recovery myself, so I opted for dropping Leadership and getting perception from other sources (insps and empowerent buff) because I do want to go for other Stalkers in WB.
How about now?

I have an old Dark/Ninjitsu Stalker that I want to spec for zone PvP. How does this build look? I'm trying to keep the build within a "reasonable" budget, so no PvP IOs yet. My focus was ranged defense, a bit of recharge, KB protection and damage procs, but it's lacking in +recovery.
Inputs and ideas welcome.
