    Ahem, 87 would be the ideal number to stop posting..

    We need to try harder to get this locked, political posts always seem to work.

  3. Second character I ever made is, a fire/mace tank that I still play frequently.

    Yeah, I should have said that they are more prevalent because of speed iTrials. A lot of the players that were not doing speed runs got used to doing speed runs because of Lambda.


    Sub 20 minute ITFs had been happening frequently long before anyone knew what a Lambda was, now please return to your regularly scheduled cantankerous posting.

    51.. err 52 posts, this is a proud day.

    No sense wasting a perfect thread, the new pool is how many posts before it gets locked, winner gets 100m & a miracle +recovery emailed to them.

    87 is my guess, to facilitate that along..

    Fire/Mace Advice

    Like you said that was a pre-ed build and that would've been a pretty common setup for the time, and just as an aside, were money an issue you can slot your tank just with standard IO's and still have a workable build.

    It is yep, I have different copies on beta with various configurations, one with mostly pvp/rare io's and others built to max either damage, resistance/def etc, but this one I have the most fun with.
    You mentioned you used to hami raid with your tank, at one point my live build was completely ho'd before ed/gdr, herding on a burn tank was so much fun back then even if it was bad for the game overall.

    Anyway have fun.

    Fire/Mace Advice

    I haven't had time to look over any of the builds offered but I'm sure they're pretty sound, I pm'd OP that I'd post my f/m's build so here it is, just a couple quick things since I'm rushed for time, accolades and incarnate powers of course help fill areas that your choice of IO slotting & power picks may present, you may want to take fiery embrace it's certainly worthy, physical perfection will make your f/m more sturdy but I took pyre mastery because it makes that tank more multidimensional for my play style and because dammit I want to burn things nice and crispy. Might revisit post later in the day, have fun. =]

    Mmm it's soo spacious in here, also look! Up in the sky! It's a Starsman sighting.
  11. Ultraamann got the night off with his usual smashing of the big clockwork uglies and from there we had two itf teams one of them a moitf try, a tips team and a dfb group, smashing time all around, see y'all next Tuesday on Justice.

    -ps, nice pics steel.


  13. Cruise hasn't had a decent hit in years and after his whackjoberee I had no interest in anything he did, even his attempt at self deprecation with layers of latex as Les Grossman couldn't erase the memory of him on Oprah, but his ridiculous Burj Khalifa stunt, the high reviews, Simon Pegg & Jeremy Renner got me and my wife to see it along with my 13yr old niece and it was very good.
  14. Well TT had it's biggest server coverage ever last year thanks to the poster above me, Rangle, LSK and many other Tank minded on multiple servers.

    Your car might let you down, your dog might not get your slippers, but your Tanker will always take a pounding and dish out the pain.

    And as we creep up on the next milestone I wonder if any other mmo has ever had a monthly player run event that's bordering on 100 consecutive months let alone one that expanded in it's seventh year.

    Though even if one did exist somewhere, TT could beat it up.

    See you Tuesday. ;]

    Best Taunt aura?

    Without listing the auras as you requested I'd suggest you try an Elec/Titan, I just got one to 50 earlier today and the aura among other things is effective.
