    Should have just quoted this.

  7. I actually know what they are, but if I were to talk War Witch would be summoned to my home to personally administer a whipping I'm told, and my wife would not take kindly to that.

    Clobber was useless back then regardless of it's cast, but a fire/pyre (pick your secondary) tank pre Burn nerf filled with 50% pre nerfed HO's prior to ED was extremely potent, to the point the devs felt it warranted heavy reductions.

    Not everyone playing today had a high level all HO'd character back in 04, and a lot of those heavy raiders that did have long since quit, but if you did, you know how ridiculously easy (broken) the game was during that window, even easier then is possible currently with a high end IO'd all five 4th tier Incarnate.


    GMs were easier back then, though seven GMs for a fire tank were still seven GMs.


    Bring on more Tanker feats, I say. ;]

    I would solo tank seven or more GMs after a hami raid for the heck of it back in the day (on fire/mace), and dropping them was relatively easy with an all HO build before GDR & ED.

    Now dropping an AV/GM is astonishing, which only furthers my contention that the very height of Incarnate and IO build you can attain today (as I have on the same fire/mace) would get the snuffing tore out of it by an 04- early-05 all HO'd build, rather easily.

    having pointed that out, I celebrate any and all Tanker feats attained, so hats off, well done. =]

  10. There were a lot of regulars who weren't on tonight, just one of those things, I even noticed a couple regular Lambdas cancelled because of light server activity.

    We had a successful Moonfire tf with Witty and co, and we did some AV smashing with Uman and a bunch of us, with a good bit of levels gobbled up for the non 50's, all good fun.

    The other Incarnate Trials might be out by next TT, so get your 50 up and ready, I don't think there have been any I-Trials done by all tanks to date, maybe by next month we'll have enough up the incarnate tree to do a BAF and Lambda on the same night.



    Our group taking on Battle Maiden and Bobcat








  11. Once more unto the breach, dear tanks, once more..

    The last TT had the devs drop..

    ..on us, now it's about time we gave
    Siege the beat down he deserves,
    Tanker Style
    !

    So among other regular TT teaming fun for all levels, we'll be going back to Lambda to get some revenge.

    Bring your 50's and we'll plan on running
    at least one all Tanker I-Trial.





    (note:To do these Incarnate Trials, you do not need the Alpha Slot to be unlocked. In fact, doing these Trials is a way to unlock the Alpha Slot.)


    If you still haven't run the I-Trials,
    not to worry, but here's what to expect
    if you want the 411 beforehand.


    So see you there Tank & Tankettes!

  13. To OP's question, I wouldn't say "story sucks, just wanna blast stuff", but it's definitely the last thing I think about even with new content.

    I want to start up a ss//will tank or brute
    but idk what the big differance are between them other then brutes get fury bars and tanks dont

    SS/WP is a great combination that can get you trough all the content handily, on the other hand Will Power is a bland armor, I'd suggest Shield Defense, it also can easily get you through everything you'll face and it comes with a damage bonus power along with basically a second Foot Stomp.

    With Tanks you get access to a 20% resistible damage resistance debuff with your first attack, and while Brutes do more damage they're not as capable of withstanding damage as a Tanker, which usually means your Tank will be the last one standing if you're on a pug that gets out of control.

    Bottom line, pick what you want, start smashing stuff and have fun.
    Also be sure to attend Tanker Tuesday's on various servers, the next one is May 3rd on champion (the 79th edition).

    But HP7.1 was still my pick for the worst installment so far. It was too slow and plodding in some areas while other parts were clearly rushed and/or glossed over. Basically it was badly edited and really felt like the franchise was just "phoning it in" at that point.

    I'm still hoping Part 2 will in some way vindicate Part 1 and make the product as a whole seem more worthwhile.

    Ditto, my wife fell asleep during it. The "last" one (I'm sure a $B franchise wont be revisited in the future, lol..) does look a lot more promising.

Just to be clear, it IS working on everything else--AOE, ranged, other melee--just not that one attack.

    This is a bug, right? And if so, is it a known one?

    Thanks!

    Sorry, just noticing you used Boxing in your primary chain, wasn't sure if that was a typo.. ;]

    * Update: In order to allow for more accurate testing results, the new Fiery Embrace buff will now affect Ancillary and Patron Power Pools in addition to all Secondary attacks.
    Glancing at your build, have you had issues laying Burn while you're flying.

    I'm not sure the meat dress will have the same impact within popular culture as Madonnas lace did ;] , but your point is generally a widely held conclusion, right down to ticking off the Catholic Church.


    Why wouldn't an artist want to follow her, she was almost as iconic as Michael Jackson was, and managed to stay relevant for a couple decades, ask anyone from Britney Spears & Ricky Martin on up how difficult that is.

    The one glaring difference between the two artists to me (and this is highly likely to be swatted down by her ardent fans), is that without all the headgear and facial ornaments Lady Gaga is to be kind an average person in appearance, while Madonna was a gorgeous woman in her prime.
