And wouldn't that be a beneficial, bustling and bright way for the Devs to bestow a blessing upon our beautiful Bringers?

Kheld brethren, I say to you, "Believe and you will behold!"

Glad you liked it. I think every blockbuster needs a rousing speech.

Thanks again for the video Diggaroo.

Oh, and nice pictures Stone.




On a separate note, I may not be able to make it to Kheld Friday tomorrow. But, whether or not I do, what is the game plan?

Whether you summon them ROA/Seeker Drone style, or as they are currently summoned, the main point is that when they explode you have 3 Polar Light type pets that will be there to continue to deal damage.

Their timer will not be as long as EEs but it will be long enough to allow them to do enough damage, when coupled with their initial explosion, to be competitive.

I picture them functioning like EEs (same type of attacks) in other words...scatter not detonation.

Which could easily be done via Umbral and Luminous Mastery.

(I think one small problem here is that T Tentacles doesn't have -KB. But, that could be easily rectified.)

Hmm...for some reason I thought of this.

Just because you wear the jersey and put on the kicks doesn't make you M.J.

Feel free to modify the lyrics while making application to COH.

Here it is...

Thank you.

Yes, It is Dark Extraction. Long ago I got an icon "correction" pack. My version is not the most current though.

I don't. It sounds shady...but not in a good way.

I tried for awhile to pull and/or separate Rommie from his heal buddies. But, after dying a couple of times from trying this tactic I decided that a direct attack would be the best approach.

They are fascinating and you should try a soloTF.

I appreciate the compliment and while it wasn't easy, it is not nearly as hard as some of the others things that Warshades can accomplish on this game.

Silly me, and here I was thinking I was trailblazing. Well, you can always post about it now and be the first human Warshade to do so.

My time would have been alot better had I not been compeled to take a break and restart the second mission.

So, you only died twice. And what was your exact time with the break? And what do you suppose it would have been without it?

Oh, more importantly how did you keep your Lore Pets alive at the end? Because my time was slowed even more because my boss pet died a couple of times to Rommie's AOE. With those darn healing Nicti his regen feels comparable to a GM.

Knowing what I know now, if I do get around to doing this again, I figure that I could accomplish a MoITF run in about...hmmm...an hour and a half.

At anyrate, later Sept.

Just so you know, you can put Giant Monsters in AE missions. Try an outdoor map...

The strategy you are employing doesn't seem bad...except for the dying part. There are a number of things I suggest...

1. While stunning is effective, killing (i.e. "arresting") your enemies is generally more effective. AIB's phaser is never set to "stun."

2. You may not be prioritizing your targets effectively (e.g. If you are targetting a Malta Boss while the Sapper is sucking you dry you may want to rethink that tactic...while you are facedown on the pavement...).

3. You may be using a build that is slotted in a way that hampers your overall efficiency. If you share it with others they may give you some beneficial feedback.

4. Perhaps your skill level has not yet developed. At least, not enough to accomplish what you are currently trying to do...remember...practice makes perfect.

5. Use more inspirations. They drop like candy, especially when you become a killing machine. "Use early and use often."

6. Read through the various guides and relevant posts to aquire as much info as you can.

7. If soloing is frustrating then team with others while you are in the process of working through the aforementioned items. In particular, team with someone who can show and tell you about the ins and outs of Shadehood.

AIB

I have never been a huge fan of the PvP system in COH. Thanks for the invite though.

Now, if they changed to PvP so that it was more akin to some other games wherein there are numerous small bases that when captured become spawn points for assaulting the next base. Then I'd get sucked in...

This is not about which one is more effective at destroying large crowds of baddies. It is about my comic book daydreaming...

This is about, "Who would win in a fight Serene Servant or AIB?" I am confident that in the match above Serene would triumph but I am certain that there would be some point (given enough buff food) at which AIB would come out on top.

I am thinking IF he could successfully buff (i.e. eclipse and mires) off of 10 enemies every 30 seconds he'd win...

The entire fight is mythical. And it is EPIC too . It's also being waged in the interior of my mind.

Oh, and it need not be a "fair" fight.

The best strategy for the SS to destroy the AIB's buff food before he could benefit. But, IF AIB could successfully buff off of them how many of them would he need and how regularly would he have to buff off of them...

Once again, I'll go with 10 enemies every 30 seconds...

Thanks for entertaining my selfish hypothetical...

I've bounced it around for awhile...Here is what I am thinking....

Round 1 definitely PB (Inner Light + Light Form + self heals) WS gets beatdown

Round 2 WS gets eclipse and a little bit of a damage increase at start...and an EE...PB kills EE and proceeds to beatdown WS

Round 3 PB keeps killing EEs when WS summons them and pounds away WS

PB ftw...

But...What would be the tipping point though? How many enemies and how regularly would they have to pour in to turn the tide in favor of the WS?

Thoughts...
