I'll use Lethal, Nine so just bring your Scrapper.

I'll be Leader so you all need to bring me gifts or i'll kick you! I'm a mean leader.

Guillermo, Trials & Task Forces are cobinations of several mission, normally leading to an end of TF/Trial boss. They give you badges. Some badges combine to give benefits like increased endurance or HP. Sometimes just a badge. TF's tend to be great for XP and lots of fun.

Yeah sure, I'll bring Lethal.

I think my main already got the badge for this so I'm doing it for fun & xp with Lethal now

It is an easy TF if we can take down the second wall. I came across probs with it before, think they are all solved now though. At one point the wall vanished in the TF & we couldn't pass through or target it, so TF failed Last time this didn't happen though.

Will I need to be lead if i'm the only Level 39-41 char on team? If I am ignore all my instructions, its safer that way

Heya,

You can sign me up for this. Dunno what char yet, I've a few in the range & another few near the range

Will let you know after a bit of leveling tonight who i'll use.

Edit - I think I might use Angelic Agent, Level 29 Blaster. Get me closer to Nova!

I can use my Claws Regen Scrapper Lethalblade - Level 39 If you have room for a Scrapper?

My Nova Form is slotted with damage IO sets go that should help fill in the ranged damage gap (hopefully)

Hmmm,

Think, I've teamed with Ms Magma a few times. Would be nice to team with you again.

Kheldian Dwarfie Taunt isn't autohit unfortunately, nor is it of long enough duration to tank +4 AVs. I don't think a Dwarf would hold up too long versus Lord Recluse either even if they could hold his aggro.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree, thats why I suggested I would 'help' tank

I can take the aggro but not for long enough tbh & 4 AV's would make me look pretty squishy I think

Xtream

Edit -
PS: Just notice Dr Mangler said he could supply a Tank Yay!

[ QUOTE ]
Is there anybody that could bring a tank? I have a feeling we might need one.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can bring my PB (Xtream Justice) to help tank but I doubt I'll be able to handle an AV with Dwarf/Light form by myself.

Xtream

Heya,

I'd be up for this. I can use my 50 Scrapper or 50 PB depending on team build both have badge, so I don't mind which.

Let me know which you prefer.

Xtream

Great Job all!

Very fun TF, was great to team with you all.

Your Welcome Nine Claws & thank you for planning the event

Xtream

I'd be interested in joining this.

I did the STF with my PB a few times now, most worked out well. In one I was the main blaster & the backup Tanker.

I managed to keep three AV's running after while everyone else slaughtered GW

On the LR towers 8 Nova forms combined with Radiant & Incandesant Strikes will have these down in no time, with the AoE's eliminating the repairmen too.

I wonder how many Quants/Voids we'll get, probably get a good few shadow shard cyst's too.

Let me know when you wanna do it.

Xtream

Heyas,

I'll join with Xtream my Scrapper.

Cyas at 3 tomorrow

Xtream

Heyas,

I've a level 50 PB & a level 21 WS. I went tri-form till mid 30's I think on the PB (WS is Tri-form) then at 50 respec'd back to a tri-form PB.

At lower PB levels Radiant Strike has brilliant damage, then Incandesant Strike is your next high damage. Both are IMO essential to human form. I would put prefferance in slotting Nova over Dwarf, just slot Dwarf for defence & heal & use it as your panic button. Remember that Dwarf has amazing defence against Cyst & is really you first chance to run up & give a quant/void the smack they deserve!

Yup, I agree you have no need to bother with aid other etc. Glowing Touch is ok for the odd heal if you need it and the other self heals are enough. If things get really bad change to Dwarf & TP away.

Stamina & conserve power are both needed.

Dawn Strike isn't as good as it sounds, no where near the damage of a blaster's Nova

Photon Seekers, these are inaccurate & annoying IMO useless! There are too many other & better options.

If you can find spare slots any where i'd stick a 3rd recharge reduction in Light Form.

The most important thing to remember is that you will have no where near enough slots for your PB's till mid to late 30's & even then you'll need to make tough choices. A tri-form PB isn't at it's best till 50 really A two-form can be well slotted much faster & you might wanna try this, then respec back to tri-form later.

Xtream

I'd be willing to join but wouldn't be able to make it till about 7:10PM UK.

Let me know if this is any good.

Probably with Elven Protector Level 34 Empath/Archery Defender.

Heya,

Done this TF about 4/5 times with my PB (Completed everytime) & once on Scrapper (Uncompleted). I'd be willing to join, Scrapper might still have temp power if we do it soon. Post a date & I might be able to join.

Xtream

Hiyas,

I'd be willing to join with Elven Protector Level 34 - Empathy/Archery

Xtream

PS: Just noticed start time, I might be a few minutes late but will be online by 7:10PM at the latest.

I must agree 100%!

Tanking is about getting hit instead of the other 1-7 people on your team.

I've 2 tankers atm, one 12 & one 20 (I had a 26 before but got bored of him, altism strikes again )

I recently Tanked in a 6 person team (only Tank). One member of the team died, repeatedly! The Blaster. I must point out the Blaster felt he should rush in before me, using his melee attacks.

When I eventually convinced him to let me attack 1st, he ran in with me. I couldn't pull aggro from him fast enough as he was hitting with an AoE before I could TP behind the mob & Taunt. This drove me mad!! I wanted to hit him instead of the mobs.

What was even worse then was another Blaster joined (newish to game) and followed his example.

I had to stop mid mission & ask them did they wanna Tank & I'd stay in Blaster range. After a while this sunk in & they got the message.

I always get defense powers over attack powers on a tank. Scrappers are the melee fighters not Tankers. I'll target an ally taking damage & hit Taunt for those all important saves.

Too many people have lost the concept of Tanking, Tanks are becoming Scrappers with great defense!

i recently saw a level 50 tanker who kept getting floored before our blaster.

I ended up using my Scrapper to Tank while Blaster was immobilised with laughter in the corner.

Hi,

Is it too late to start a new tank toon for this team?
Let me know and I will get a clicking, I assume is on defiant?

[/ QUOTE ]

Heya, we all kinda took a break from this when i10 was launched. We haven't regrouped yet, but I'm sure we will as it was great fun when we were doing it, so its not too late.
Yes, it is on Defiant.

[ QUOTE ]
If would be better for me to be at certain lvel to begin working in team, let me know. Although sounds as if may have hard time catching up if you are all playing this team quite frequently.

[/ QUOTE ]

We are all around 10-12 as far as I can remember So not too hard to catch up, even better if your in the team with us we can sk & you'll level a bit quicker.

Besides spines both MA and Claws seemed interesting. I might make a MA or a Claws scrapper hesitate because of next information.

I logged in and checked the LFT feature last night. I am not sure if you can hide yourself from it but when I made querry of each archetype I got 50odd tankers, 90odd scrappers, 60odd controllers, 40odd defenders and 80odd blasters.

When I was still playing CoH I had a blaster I could never play with because there were too many of them around and as a result I could never team with people. Could this happen also as a scrapper too as they are the majority right now?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've got 2 scrapper BS/DA (50)& Claws/Regen (38). I find both great!

BS deals high damage, DA is a great secondary with fear/stun features to reduce enemies attacking. Imo, DA has the best Scrapper heal. I can go from 1hp to full with 1 click.

Claws/Regen is a great combo too, it very quick. You have ranged powers which are nice for a Scrapper. I've seen this Scrapper outlast a tank in a fight. I always have a heal ready, even when I've jusy used 1 Very survivable.

Both are great in teams and solo. I've never had a problem getting a team, because we deal such good dps. I've even had several tell asking me to join a team, when I was already in one

Tbh, you can't go far wrong with a Scrapper. A lot of teams would prefer a Scrapper for survivability over a blaster for those tough situations (nothing against blaster I've 2 of them too )

Xtream

The main difference between the Hami raids & the Rikti invasions would be when facing Hami everyone has the majority of their toggles off (except mez) (untyped damage, so no protection) when doing a Rikti invasion everyone has all toggles on.

This means a lot more graphics on screen at any one time. While I agree that a raid costume will help, it won't totally solve the problem.

If we did pre i9 Hami raids with toggles on we would all have been lagged to death, even with Hami costumes. There is no way the numbers attending an Invasion can be reduced. The only posibility i can see is if toggle animations are reduced in any areas where there are Invasions.

This may not be popular with people with high end comps, but would do a lot to solve the problem. Unfortunatly, the GM's may find this very hard to implement.

Well thats just my opinion

Xtream

Oh & Welcome to the forums

Hiyas,

Guess we've all been bust with i10 stuff

Wanna start meeting up again?

Let me know when, or send a tell when your on.

Xtream

I took MoG on my Regen Scrapper (38 now), I used it a few times before slotting to test it out. Died fairly quickly, but this was just testing

I've 1 slot (1st of an IO set) in it now to bump it up a bit, I can last a good while in a fight now with it activated.

I have witnessed situations where Regen scrappers hit MoG & were the only survivers in a near full team wipe.

I've seen a Regen use Revive then MoG after a wipe & clear the rest of the room while others were rez'd.

It is situational, but so are lots of powers!!!

I hear people saying the problem is it reduces you to 20% of max health. Why is that a problem if your hitting it when your below 25% health?

I'd advise you ignore everyone, take it & make your own decision, but give it till level 40 to test it properly! Some people will always hate powers that others love, thats life.

PS: Its always a bit of entertainment in an easy mission to hit MoG & watch the frustrated healer trying to 'save' you

Yeah 1st was a bit crazy but it eventually worked out.

Next 2 runs went great. Haven't checked all but 2 of the recpies were useless, I think the 3rd was the same but nvm, it was fun

Now that is good selling!!!!

There were a lot of crazy high (and low) prices at the beginning, but is settling out now.
