Lady Grey TF.
Just thought about Hami...
Wondering how it will play out...
I hope some of you have holds because I don't.

Quote:You didn't mention what server you play on, but I recommend you use that servers main global channels, as specific AT channels don't seem to get much love. Also, if you're on Protector, we happen to run all Kheldian TF's every Friday, if that's something you'd be interested in.Originally Posted by Model 75
Thanks. I think I'll be OK with slots in a bit with my biform.
Also, I found global channels, including one for Kheldians, but it looks like nobody uses it. Is it actually that empty or am I just missing everyone?

Quote:Wait, people use shields on tri-formers?Originally Posted by SuperT
Although I'll take any improvements (if you want to call it that) the devs are willing to provide, I still don't know why shield toggle dropping when switching forms (both PB and WS) was not addressed... I like playing in all forms and to have to toggle on 6 shields (3 main shields, weave, combat jumping, manuevers) every time I switch back to human form just doesn't seem efficient. Or at least let the main shields from dropping while in combat. I don't know, am I the only one that feels this way?

Quote:And a Warshade capable of taking down an AV with those restictions in place on builds/temps is impressive, but...Originally Posted by Laserblitz_Emcc
Control group 1,= WS minimum; lvl 50 using Triform build I copied from AiB, but downgraded with SO enhancements, no inspir, no temp powers, no incarnate powers
(AiB build was chosen as it was published and documented to be able to take down an AV)
This isn't. Anyone can solo an AV this way. I don't even see the point of making a "Multi-billion" influence build to just turn around and not make use of it.Quote:Originally Posted by Laserblitz_Emcc
Control group 2 = WS maximum lvl 50 using a build designed to kill AV, Multi-billion IO enhancements, super inspirs (up to 40 available, 20 in tray+ 20 in email), as many temps powers and pets as I was willing to invest the time and money to get, the 5 current incarnate powers at Tier 4 (in other words, overkill)
....
What I will be posting soon of the control group 2 is "Most NOT wow" possible
I am pretty sure I did not even fire off my attack chain once
Perhaps making a thread specifically for your "testing" would be a better place to put this? -

I am a scientist by training and i do clincal trials for drugs
The 1st thing to do is establish the extremes
As control groups
The low end control group was me with all incarnate powers turned off
Vs lvl 49-54 AV
I timed how long i lasted
Not worth the video or pics
Then i did it with incarnate powers on but no lore pets and i was able to take down a lvl 50 AV
Then turned on lore pets cimerians and was able to take down a rikti pylon in just over 2 minutes and a lvl 51 AV
Next i will add the super inspires instead of large and see if i can take down a lvl 52 or even a level 53
If i cant do a lvl 53 or 54 then i will repeat adding 1 temp pet at a time to find the minimum temps needed
I am not a teenager trying to prove i am teh uber WS
Just a courious scientist trying to see how many licks does it take to get to the center of a level 54 AV... Using a WS
I don't get the point. You said yourself you're not using (or attempting to refrain from using) any warshade powers. So nothing you are doing actually belongs in a kheldian brag book, since technically ANY character could do this, given the same temporary/lore powers.
I don't really see anything scientific about it.

Two* more days, people! Take a look at your characters and see who needs the Croatoa/Moonfire (Slayer/Silver Bullet) badges, get your khelds prepared for Lady Grey, etc etc.
*Well three, technically, but today is almost over!

"Fun" is a bad word around these parts. It has been established that it is subjective and therefore irrelevant. Ok then...it's less like playing an energy melee character? By which I am not implying that energy melee is "Not Fun," just that tri-forming gives one more options.

Quote:Plus, tri-form is more fun!Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Yes, the changes on Beta. A lot of people seem to be under the impression that Human Only will still have a clear advantage after perma light form (which carries over to forms) and Inner Light (which has a much longer duration than buildup)
Here is why I have decided to go Tri Form:
(All these reasons)

Quote:I encourage you to give us another try.Originally Posted by Waaambulance
Oh and Protector is where I started playing originally so I might just give my old defender a shot again.
Make sure you add Protector TFs and Protector Vigilance channels, those are our main tf/team/etc channels for the server. -
Quote:Yep, villains can turn into heroes and vice versa, after level 20. And after i21, you can make a villain AT directly into hero side from level 1.Originally Posted by Waaambulance
Wow you guys are fast. Thanks for all the pointers I am going to look into server channels and figure out how to join them. I have one last question I think. I made a claws/elec brute the other night to try out and I enjoyed it, then I found myself on my tanker grouping with brutes in Atlas city. So my question is how do villains end up grouping with Heroes and vice verse and how do you get from villain areas to hero areas? Is that part of the "Going Rogue" Expansion?

To everyone who ran Zaloopas Quarterhell, here--relieve some stress.

Just get back from a long Shadow Shard TF? The Rularuu got you down? Well here you go, kick one around!
-
Make a couple different guys on all the servers you haven't played yet, join the global channels of that server, and see which one works out best for you.
I wager most of us are biased as to server selection.

Ah. Well then, yes, the W bind does indeed sound better.

Quote:If anyone else needs a good reason to try for the second category, here is an example of what your character could look like, done by Roah!Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
Second Category: Dress as your version of Stone!
Requirements: My character isn't quite as iconic as Layla's, but Stone has Hipster hair and tattoos. If you don't know what he normally looks like, I can't say I blame you, because I'm a big altoholic. Examples are here.
1st place reward: A custom chibi drawing of their favorite character by Roah Brett and 200 million influence.
2nd place reward: 100 million influence.
3rd place reward: 50 million influence.

My Bots/Traps went from 35-39, fire/rad troller went from 34-39, elec/shield went from 48-50, and spines/elec got from 44-47. Not a bad weekend, considering I didn't play anything except 50's on Friday/Saturday

Quote:What she saidOriginally Posted by Laylarei
yes there will be TWO all kheld tfs during this event! The normal one on friday that has a costume contest added to it and then another on sunday
Technically, you can bring Sept for both, since the first is Lady Grey, and the second is ITF.Quote:Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Woo, so I can bring Lumi for one and Sep for the other. Kheldians are taking over Protector.

So with double xp I've hit my WS really hard and got it to lvl 45 last night. As I played I found that I was struggling with exactly how to be the most effective member of the team. It seemed like every time I went to human form to hit mire I was hammered by anything around, even if I let the tank, brute or scrapper take the alphas, sending me racing into Dwarf to try and survive, which wasn't a given. Once I got eclipse, this race was not quite so bad, but right now my recharge isn't high enough to have it even close to perma so there are many fights I have to go without it.
Basically what I struggle with is how to use my forms. Just for survivability I found myself in Dwarf most of the time and going to Nova when eclipse was up and I could use mire to boost that damage.
I'm just struggling with how to play my tri-form. Strategy and tactic tips would really be appreciated. And before anyone points me to the MFing Warshade guide, I've read it 3 times now. Great guide for building a foundation and is the reason I made a WS, but isn't a be all, end all guide.
Thanks in advance for any help.I think what Dechs is saying is make sure they cannot mezz you. In other words, use Gravitic emanation a lot, and make sure you take out the problem enemies first with your Mezzes/attacks.Quote:Originally Posted by Deathstroke33
So when Eclipse is down play in human form?
It sounds like your main issues are for when eclipse isn't up, right? My battle plan, for when I have to go in without eclipse; lead up with your stun cannon, Gravity well anyone that is still a mezz threat, mire, then pop into nova and blast them. Drop out of nova to heal yourself with Stygian when needed. And don't forget to make good use of your pets and corpse blasting to keep the enemies not focused on you, and stunned/dead.
The Warshade heaven video link in my sig probably won't help you (because that build has perma eclipse), but one of the nice things about it is that I did the fighting without any binds, so you can see my mouse movements. -

I finally figured oit how to make a video of gamr play and post it to youtube
I need to figure out how to adjust the setting so that 0:17 of video is not 1.8 GB of memory
Since the max allowed to download is 2 GB
Here is the last 17 sec of my solo* attack on lvl 53 chimera
*I used every temp pet available except snowbeast plus my incarnate lore pets

Next week's Kheldian Fridays! will be the Lady Grey TF (Level 45+). I'll see you guys in RWZ!
(If you're close to the level range but you can't make it in time, look me up in-game and we'll see what we can do for you.) -
And long.
Good times. -
Quote:Nah, I just spam Protector Vigilance and Protector TF when we're ready to start forming. But cool! I may not see you at the next KF's (as it will be a higher level next time), but I hope to see you soon. We can help level that PB if you want, just look me, AIB, or Septipheran up.Originally Posted by Laserblitz_Emcc
I made a peacebring on protector last night just so I can play with you all sometime
Only lvl 4 so far
I assume you all have a SG i could get an invite to?
Actually, i have never seen that many heroes in one place on protector

The radial storm elementals have the hurricane, which can be useful at the choke points.
