BigBoss Eyepatch

Ok I got a build that looks like its doing well. This is an SO build, and it doesn't look too bad, may need some tweaking, but... I like this so far. There are what may appear to be some "wasted" slots but these were put with Set IO's in mind and the bonuses.

But without further a-do!

Theres a lot of good information here guys, when I list things on the market, I do put it in cheapish as I kinda work on the mentality I don't want to pay a fortune so you know I try to spread the word.


If I see an item that has a going price of 100,000 I typically would chuck it in at 75,000.

I still make a killing on something that the stores would probably only pay 1000 for, and the other guy gets the item a little cheaper.

I didn't consider that. Nor did I consider not using the market.

It is convenient really to just run to wentworths, but prices for even simple stuff there is crazy. I play on EU servers, Defiant. And there was a time a few weeks ago, inanimate carbon rods were selling for 100,000 inf on average. I was like... huh?

Its also quite strange. I wanted to buy a End Mod Recipe. Just a common IO, level 45. It was literally cheaper to go to the university and buy it there.

The Market is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde IMO. Often its great to grab a bit of this or that which you need for your temporary power or whatever at dirt cheap prices, but some of the things on it are enormously expensive especially to us 6 month veterans.

I wanted to make a fat character too for one of my villains.

But I definately think Female Huge... its time.

I like regular huge. Looks good on an Invul / SS tanker.

What do we think guys? Do we want female huge for our lady tanks and brutes?

You know I was thinking last night that yes the market is all well and good but one thing I don't understand is why I have to pay to list something, and then, when I sell it, the Market gets yet another cut of my money.

You know, when you pay to list something, that should be it. After all, if you take the item out, you've lost your listing fee.

Of late, some Set IO recipes are going for stupid money, I mean I put a recipe on there for 5000 inf, and sold it for like 5,000,068 or something like that. The market got a nice slice of that. naturally things are so expensive and the moment with some salvage going to regions of hundreds of thousands, and what with the incarnate stuff you need every drop of inf you can get these days. So when the market gets a massive chunk like that out of your final sale... well it hurts.

Especially as I wasn't greedy only 5000 for a lvl 50 recipe lol

Im no expert by any stretch, but when I was using Mids lately to try and redo my 43 SS/Invul tank, I just used this:

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Super_Strength

Each power is explained individually, and better still tells you what Set IO's you can use and even what bonuses the sets give.

I'd recommend CMA's guide too. Also another thing to bear in mind is with Cold and energy damage, there is smashing involved in them, which is what an invul tanker is good at, smashing damage. Most of the damage you take would be cold, and you've got resistance to that as well.

I readily admit Im not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but am I right in assuming a League are a couple or several 8 hero/villain teams banded together as one?

The main issue Im having is the colour of the GUI is not right on some characters.

Heroes = Blue GUI
Villains = Red GUI
Praetorians = Grey GUI

I only have two villains, one has a red GUI the other has a blue one. I got several Praetorians which also now have a blue GUI...

meh, no idea.

I do want to up my defences as much as possible, and resistances to exotic damage. Money is not too great an object thankfully.

With just an SO build now... its, literally, nigh impervious to smashing and lethal damage which is just awesome!

This tank is so crucial as I have another Invul / SS up and coming in Praetoria who is going to go villain side, so this 43 Im currently rolling is literally going to be my template for him as well. The story for the other Invul / SS is he's an evil clone of the one I'm trying to perfect now... cheesy and cliche? yes! But that's how comics need to be dammit!

I was playing my electric tank last night (Will have to respec that as well at some point) and the taunt noise sucks.

I have to be honest, now it more of a "huuurrrr" which sounds a bit like the Tanker is clearing its throat after an epic coughing fit.

Where the last noise was more "haaaarrrr" which sounded like: ha ha, puny squirt! I laugh at you.

I've had a good play about with Mids this morning and the tanker build, which at present is just using all SO's is at 88% damage resistance for smashing and lethal and about 32% for fire, cold, energy etc...

with all defences at about 25% not accounting for invincibility's magic.

Several of the less useful powers like hand clap, energy torrent have been dropped in lieu of the fighting set.

Most of the big hitting attack powers are 5 to 6 slotted, with the exception of jab which I decided to just have one slot on, reason being jab is tier 1, and with bruising, all you need is for the tier 1 to connect to cut their damage resistance by 20% after that you clobber them with the big punches, like haymaker and knockout blow, which have got a cool down in to get them popping fast.

I'd post the build but am in work now, however, with the advice from here and that guide Call me Awesome has wrote, I think I'm well on my way to making a better SS/Invul than I dreamed possible!

Said tank is at 43 presently with 2 respecs on it. Gonna have to respec it out soon. I'll post the build I got probbaly monday, I'm quite chuffed with how it looks thus far.

Thanks guys, updated and its working again.

Thanks guys, I'll try that out probably by tomorrow for you. I'll also consult the paragon wiki's invention sets as I go along.

Grief!!! Making a really good and formidable tanker is a LOT more complex than I thought!

What I was playing about with there was to keep resitance to the more exotic damage types high as well.

I've played about with it so much I still wasn't happy when I posted it.

Hand clap I agree with losing for sure, I took it along the way as in the early going it made life easier when I needed to create separation for a quick breather. I have two respecs available on this char so making changes is no problem.

Should the super strength attacks be 6 slotted? What's best to do about them?

This is what I got so far how I typically envision me Tanker at LVL 50, just wanted to run this past the rest of you and see what you think, are there any ways to improve it, to milk out a little more resistance to the more exotic damage types for example?

Any suggestions / hints gratefully received!

"The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

Does all this mean anything to anybody? lol and, could they translate into plain english for me?

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but... no avail.

Thanks gentlemen! I shall go with dark then for sure.

Hey guys, just constructed a new MM costume last night, saved it on the PC ready to roll.

Just wondering, in your experiences, what would you pick as a secondary to go with Necromancy, for me I was tossing up between; Pain Domination, Dark Miasma, and Poison.

Any advice for a noob Necromancer?

So is the softcap for defence still 45%?

I don't bother with IO's set or common, until I get past lvl 40. The soonest I do it it lvl 37. The sheer cost of it is insanity sometimes. Particularly the bits you need.

Ive been refused access to TF's but mainly that was due to not having the right Archytype they needed. Not because I didn't have sets.
