    I don't have Insulation shield and rarely use Deflection shield unless it's gonna be a tough battle/av/etc.

    The constant buffing drives me nuts, my playstyle is aggressive and me and the bots like to steam roll.I DO NOT go out of my way to buff people on teams, I'm a mm not a 'fender.
    Besides to get every power that I have I have to make sacrifices, I have the full leadership pool,medicine pool,presence,flight and mace mastery.So yea buffing isn't too important to me when I taunt,immobolize,bots jump in, and I heal,attack,taunt,etc.

    I leveled my mm without those two shields and only recently took them and then respec'd again to dump them and make a more aggressive build.So yea not too important and I do fine.

    Oooo I love shizz like this.Gonna go with cgi on all of them.


    Warpact, my robotic bots/ff mm would be voiced by Frank Langella.

    Necro Portia, my Bane would be voiced by Christopher Lee.

    Mr.Munny, my ebil marketeer (ele/ice troller) would be voiced by Dick Cheney.

    Thats really the only ones who I have thought of who would sound like someone.

    *grabs a plate of bacon and precedes to DEVOUR it*

    Hiya folks...guess I got lucky, if I was to get anything for the missus(candy,card,flowers,etc) she would be really annoyed with me.She doesn't buy into the whole thing.

    Although I do sorta get around it by taking her out for a nice dinner and some shopping...I do believe she planned it this way though. :/

    Ok time to roll a new mm, was wondering what seems to work synergy wise?

    Also, are any of these builds good for tankermind?

    Rolled acouple sample builds on Mid's love the buffs/heal/debuffs on Thermal and Pains heals/debuffs seem good too.Do these builds benefit greatly from the Leadership pool?

    What kind of tactics work well? Tankermind? Or using whip attacks as a aggro magnet?

    How do these builds seem when leveling up, I realize high levels are going to be better.

    In addition how do you slot them say Demon Prince it seems you can throw alot into his slots.I also have seen in previous threads that slotting Hell on Earth with all the protection procs seems wise, do the lil' demon gremlins have to be spawned for the procs to work for the rest of the demons?

    Any help/advice/experience would be appreciated.

    Ah yes but what happened when the bif's started breeding like rabbits and Trapdoors regen went through the roof?

    Also,can I get a critique on my build?

    Dunno Fed probably just a passenger car that's gets good gas mileage.Startin school in about a week so I'm gonna be driving about 100+ miles aday.Getting tired of spending $60-$80 aweek on fuel.

    What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. (Matrix)

    No I knew a direct approach would be foolish.

    I let most of the bots beat on Trapdoor while me and a drone ran around to kill the bif's.

    Did drag him in the lava but bots followed and while I tried killin the bif's they got wasted too.

    I'll take two the first is gonna be pepperoni,bacon,banana peppers, and xtra sauce.

    The second one I'll take pepperoni,mushrooms,green peppers,onions, and xtra sauce.

    I'll also take a dozen teriyaki wings,an order of jo-jo's,and a 2 liter of root beer.

    Get it out to me in a half an hour and you'll get a good tip.Last tip I told the guy he should always use bleach with his whites.

    Ok folks it's marshmellow time!

    I do this because I froze my tail off today and thought how nice it would be to have a bonfire...the marshmellow idea was shortly thereafter.

    Heyo,

    Ok decided to dust off my Bots/FF and started to run him on Hami's.Remembered why I made him and thought why not I'll do the Incarnate stuff on him.

    Ok problem is stupid Trapdoor gave my boys a beating...so posted my new build and need some pointers. 98% of the time I solo with him, but, figure that will change once the ball gets rollin.

    Mind you I don't take the buffs (deflection/insulation) never have I use Dispersion and Maneuvers to protect them, and I don't do the buff teammates too well.Usually I forget to buff ppl besides I'm a mm not a 'fender.

    Anywho here's my build I went for regen/recov and defense with a smattering of rech.

Tho I'll admit I can't say that for the new incarnate stuff as my graphics cards died mid December and I haven't been able to do that content.

    Now please don't confuse what I said about requiring an AT with teams being harder when players disappear for whatever reason and the remaining players are forced to take up the slack. Disappearing players can easily screw up the remaining members ability to complete a TF.

    Vanishing players is a completely different issue than blaming the failure of a TF on not having a particular AT.
    Ah yeah I see what you mean, I was just looking at what you said in a pretty broad way and it wasn't the case.No worries FB that ******* SF just pisses me off, and one day I swear I'll be standing over Reichs carcass and gonna take a pic of it and start a thread on it.

    But this makes me laugh and laugh:

    My first Manticore took seven hours. Zero defenders, zero controllers [well, one who we lost in the first 15 min], one server crash, one power outage to the house where 3 of us were playing.

    Truly we've lost our edge.
    My mistake I should have specified the 'Cuda takin 3 hrs, I've been on plenty of others Quartefield comes to mind that takes forever.

    Wow FP, gonna have to disagree with you on this.I've ran every tf/sf in this game and been successful on everyone except the 'Cuda.I've also tried running it 3x and failed each time for various reasons and one of them being that we didn't have the necessary AT to get Reichsman debuffed.

    Each of these 3x I have had a solid team buffers,debuffers,damage,etc.One time our main debuffer was getting undue aggro from the mob and I couldn't taunt fast enough without them getting killed.(repeatedly)
    Another time Reichs kept targetting my mm over and over again(repeatedly), the first time I forget thinking we lost 2 key members due to rl aggro(hubby and wife).

    I've been able to finish a LRSF with only a stalker,brute,kin corr, and a mm and sometimes only had 2 ppl to finish a few others.I pride myself on my ability to defeat the best this game has to offer.Even though the 'Cuda in my mind is a black mark on my reputation in this game.

    So now my question, does this mean I'm a poor player too?
    Because, in those instances I got fed-up and tired of trying to defeat something that seemed impossible sure we could have finished it but, who wants to be on a 3 hr tf?

    I gotta admit FP this is perhaps the only time that I feel that you really said something out of turn.Maybe I'm looking too much into it or maybe you meant someone specific.I hope cuz I tell ya brother I just felt like I got smacked in the face.

    But then again I really don't have anyone on redside either,
    which is why I'm trying to get my new broot to 50 as soon as I can.
