Quote:Frosticus covered the "safety" part, so I'll cover the "quickly" part. A Bots/Traps is significantly faster than an Ill/Rad for a couple reasons: Robots deal more damage, which can be boosted by Assault and red inspirations (which isn't very practical, but hey the option is there) and because PGT has a higher -regen value (LR doesn't quite negate the regen on "higher level" GMs) and is autohit; missing with LR once (which will happen, more often than you'd like) will make the fight last 5mins longer (if the GM is low on health)Originally Posted by Kenshinhan
Furthermore, how quickly and safe is it for a */Traps MM to solo AV and GM's compared to your Ill/Rad? I also predict that on i18 they'll give /Rad to MM's. -
What is the best use for this power? when do you use it? when do you NOT use it? any other pros and cons and anecdotal experiences you'd like to share are welcome

Also do note that if you're looking for an AV killer of any kind, there are better/cheaper/faster choices outside of the Scrapper AT, such as Defenders and Controllers.
But if you're specifically looking to roll a Scrapper, and you also want to solo AVs with it, then DM/SR is a fairly solid choice without being too expensive. -

Do note that powerboosting AM only boosts its Run Speed component.
There are several effects Power Boost won't... boost. Such as resistance, damage, recharge, regeneration (but will boost +/-Healing), recovery (but will boost +/-End), etc -

The OP mentioned that they wanted a character that hovered. Since they are making some kind of ghost wolf I didn't think they'd have much use for dark nova. WS don't have any way to hover besides, well, hover.

The description clearly states in big red letters that the stealth IOs are mutually exclusive.

When I read Ghost/Wolf, the first thing that came to mind was Claws/Dark Stalker.

Quite right. Shame on me for forgetting. And we all know how terrible a time Masterminds have with EB/AV enemies.

Quote:CleverOriginally Posted by Willowpaw
I am rather fond of temp powers myself. I always make sure that my villains get their Goldbricker pack, since it can't be had via flashback.
And one villain is really really proud of her most cherished temp, and likes to pull it out occasionally in hopes someone will ask how she managed to get this...
This was before the Vanguard base was open to all levels. So at the time, she had to get Field Crafter and then start a Snaptooth mission at pocket D so a hero could team with her and craft the wand inside the mission. -
Since i17 I store my craftable temps in my email inbox and label them accordingly: "Stun Grenades Heroside" for example, since attachments don't display that bit of valuable info

Quote:The problem with Statesman is that he SPAMS his godmode, the thing must literally have a 30 sec cooldown or so. Not to mention his Thunderous Fist Stomp he also likes to spam, which can one-shot your traps.Originally Posted by Frosticus
Now Statesman on the other hand is presenting issues and I sort of wish I had aidself as he is just overwhelming me when he goes into blitz mode. I might try just letting him spaz out while unstoppable is up while I sit up on a big crate webnadding him only jumping down to put out another PT. We'll see.
Recluse is much easier to taken down -
Odd, I found Antimatter much easier than Positron, what with him not having Overload and whatnot

We real life people, whose main method of communication is spoken, can't spell it. Flower Knight, being a videogame character whose main method of communication is text, can't pronounce it.
Amusing coincidence?

0 PMs? you must be awfully unpopular

You don't really need Provoke against AVs, but it's a must for GMs

Quote:It's a pseudo-pet; it doesn't show up in your pet window, therefore inherits all your bonuses (except for +rech, duh), same as Lightning Storm, Tornado, Freezing Rain and the previously mentioned powers.Originally Posted by Derangedpolygot
Unfortunately, not Trip Mine. It counts as a 'pet' (separate entity from yourself).

Quote:It happened with Dual Blades, and I can totally see it happening with Kinetic Melee.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
Every now and then, the developers forget about this quirk of Tanker melee powers, and funny things happen - like procs hitting the Gauntlet radius instead of the damage radius.
The new devs are... well, noobs

Quote:Doesn't work like that, you'll always get the same type of scientistsOriginally Posted by Kheldarn
Actually, I think now that I17 has gone Live, you can game the system into giving you the Scientists that work best for you...
Get Demon Ship mission, load in, see what kind they are. Don't like 'em? Exit mission, select another mission, click Set Mission button, select the Demon Ship mission, click Abandon Mission button, call Tavish, re-get Demon Ship mission, load in, etc. -
Yeah, that's because the AE version of Dr Aeon uses his impenetrable force field power (which also gives him huge +tohit and +dam buffs).
Swan was an AV that I always found challenging on my trapper, if I wasn't careful she'd FS off of all my traps and one-shot me :-/ -
Quote:Indeed, I do joust debuff with Drain Psyche against AVs and GMs (on both my Dominator and my Blaster). Takes practice, but it works like a charm.Originally Posted by Nemu_
Jousting has practical applications outside of blasting too. I joust healing aura, and both RAs on my emp.

If you do team at all, do take Speed Boost.
