  1. I was getting lots of green bars. I don't know how I didn't annoy several people into putting me to the red.

    What did you expect?
    I was a fan of your posts before we even started speaking regularly.
  3. I was in the middle of my respec and the server booted me for maintenance.

  5. Now I want to know why Iggy doesn't like Shield Defense.
  6. Any further questions or build refinements, feel free to ask for em'.
  7. I'll admit this one:

    When a new Pack arrives and I feel I can truly support it for what its worth, I will try as hard as I can to convince other players why they need it as well. And it will work.

    This I disagree with. Sure, it's perfectly doable (not even that hard) with an all-melee team, but they're certainly at a disadvantage compared to different team.
    Perhaps I should've expanded. Melee ATs aren't as disadvantaged as others have said them to be if you simply keep Battle Maiden moving. It hasn't been hard for me to do thus far, and I don't even have Confront.

    As stated before, I've been running these and have done so with pick up groups. My failure rate for both of these TFs is 0% on the live servers, PuG or otherwise. They aren't catastrophically hard, you just have to have some situational awareness and willingness to try out some different tactics instead of tank and spank/charging in with reckless abandon.

    Aid other (especially on Scrapper modifiers) isn't going to carry the entire team like an AT that could do Heal Other though. The difference in the two are staggering.

    Yes, I know you weren't too serious about that statement.

    I wouldn't call that a "Need a Defender or Corruptor for debuffs."

    Besides, when do you ever see teams yelling, "Need a Scrapper that has at least one -Resist proc slotted for our TF team!"
  13. When a Moderator deletes a thread, they're actually handing the post over to Bill Z Bubba to shred to pieces.
  14. If Scrappers can do these two new TFs with Temporary Powers disabled, just about anybody can!

    You don't "need" debuffs on your team for Apex & Tin Mage TF.
    You don't "need" heals on your team for Apex & Tin Mage TF.
    You don't "need" buffs on your team for Apex & Tin Mage TF.
    You don't "need" ranged on your team for Apex & Tin Mage TF.
    Melee ATs aren't at a disadvantage when fighting Battle Maiden.
  15. All of the complaints against both of those TFs being too hard without "the right team setup" can be safely thrown out the window. We had no Temporary Powers, no debuffs, no heal others, no buffs from others (except for some that had Leadership pool), and I think only two people that had Ranged attacks.
  16. No problem Mojo. We were able to pull in another person.

    It's been a non-issue from my experience since launch day of Issue 19. Haven't had a failed TF with either of the new ones yet, pickup group or otherwise.

  20. For the Apex TF we did not revive any of the Police Drones. When the Warwalkers were all coming down at the same time I simply said, "Alright, everyone pick a Warwalker."

    The no-temps thing? That was just mean. I like me my monkeybuffs.

    Well hey, I wanted this to be based on pure Scrapper destruction. We did the STF without Temps, why not these?
  22. 1 death while typing on the Tin Mage TF.

    Only 3 deaths for me throughout both of them, not bad I say!
