Hmmm...could of been a lack of S/L Resist.
I was tanking BM on the first Apex TF I did (I have confront...none of the brutes did), with the softcapped defenses (didn't see what her chance to hit me was).
But yeah, have to stay moving, and you can't let anyone on the team immobilize her, or else she gets stuck in blue patches you can't attack her in :/
Do you have tough? -

I'll speak from a purely "playing the game" point of view...
Yes. Yes it will make a difference. As long as the damage has a S/L component to it. If it's all some other element, well then, the regen would of served you better.
I'd go for the defense. -

You've heard people say the contraction form of the words "would have," which is "would've". What you wrote, "would of" sounds like "would've" but makes no sense.

Carry on.
I should of known better. *is ashamed*

I'm doing something that makes you skeptical? Guess, what... you just stroked my ego. (you can goggle shred monkey and still find my videos. no.. not that guitar playing monkey... that's someone else.)
That first mission was awesome. Did anyone else kill everything in the map.. and then swim out hoping to kill the octopus arms in the water? -

Purple IOs have little to do with being able to solo an AV without insps/temps and can in fact be detrimental to certain builds (i.e. slotting purples instead of a normal set giving +def resulting in losing the softcap).
The OP has explicitely stated that he used temp powers and insps and never made any mention of having a couple set IOs or something. A quick glance through the topic doesn't show anyone making that claim either.
Sounds like an ignorant post with no base to me. And I'm not putting a facetious tongue smiley thingy in there, because I mean it. What is it, you're pissed off because your FOTM build that you thought was oh-so-cool got smashed by a NPC or two? Go cry in the general topic forum about the new arcs being too hard instead of polluting this topic, thank you very much.
Damn. I know I'm not helping but seeing yet another jackass trying to ruin a positive topic where people just chat without pretention just pisses me off.
Captain Holtz, yes, I soloed with nothing but standard powers. I have 2 Purples sets (Armageddon and Hecatomb), loaded with Kinetic Combats, have both of the +3% Defense IOs, and basically, I have a VERY pricey build.
Weakened Honoree, yup, had to go outside the build to beat him, with Inspirations (just damage ones), and I threw in Envenomed Dagger since, well, I had it.
I also seperated the AVs (I have Confront...since well...Dual Blades confront is awesome...and I respeced my Scrapper before I did the story arc...so extra powers for me!).
My attack chain was simply Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals -> Repeat (I'm pretty sure my DPS is better than my last test on a pylon now). -
Quote:Trapdoor, I think, is always an EB. He didn't spawn as an AV for me.Originally Posted by Keen Stronghold
I had an average-slotted Spines/Dark Scrapper, and faceplanted to Trapdoor twice, until I came back with loads of purples and managed to take him down. Or make him talk, whatever...
Dropped the next mission. :x
My Claws/Regen Scrapper is next.
Edit: oops, the above seems off-topic. Trapdoor was an EB. Well, I suck, so there :P -

This is one of the worst missions Ive ever seen in the game, getting held and 2 shotted is not in any way shape or form fun.
This mission is darn near undoable by squishies unless they are bleeding io's from their ears.
Melee's are soloing this fairly easy and dont want or need to team up with the squishies.
And I saw alot of people saying just drop the mission, its not worth it...
whats the point of putting in a mission so many people are just going to drop.
Yeah, I know that doesn't mean much, especially when Statesman says "You're powerful enough, you handled Lord Recluse" and part of you is thinking "Yeah, with seven other people"
So my point is...get a big team of squishies then. Team of 8 buff/debuffers tears things apart.
You being level 50, ought to know that.

Well, having endless End Recovery already as a DB/WP/Body Scrapper...I won't lie, none of them look OMG *DROOL* I MUST HAVE.
Going Spiritual on my main. The added Recharge will help in those times I get slowed, and CP (1 slotted with a lvl 50 RCH IO), will be up even more often, when I likely hardly never need it
The +Heal will go nicely with the currently unslotted Fast Healing and Health, while pushing the 95%+ Heal in RTTC and HPT up a notch.
The Stun will just be wasted. :/
Sadly, none of the others look much better. +DMG is nice, sure to up my DPS around 7-11 DPS a second, but the Defense Debuff would be wasted as would the Immobilize.
+ACC and +Defense, I was thinking about, but I think I'd get more survival out of the +Health for healing per second, than I would out of what would likely be 1 or 2% increase in Defense.
+End +Resist wont go far either :/
So Spiritual it is! \o/ -
Quote:Yes you can.Originally Posted by Werner
Heh, now I kind of wish I soloed it, but I ran Alexei through it in a duo with a Mastermind. Eh, the two AVs probably would have been too difficult with my no longer soft capped defense and my no longer sustainable endurance. Wait, can you fight them separately? Because I went all Scrapperlock on them and charged in. Was fun.
I took out the Rikti infront of the hall, then hit Confront on Captain Holtz, and he came running.
He was easy.
Then I jumped in, waking up Honoree with way over aggro cap of Rikti around, cleared all the Rikti, then went after Honoree.
Sadly, I couldn't beat out his Regen as an AV. No idea of his resists, but I was at 45%+ on my S/L/E/N Defenses.
If he landed his Total Focus and 2 small hits in a row, it was pretty much done for. So grabbed some red skittles, and a dagger for added measure, and even witht he damage skittles, I don't know if I could beat his regen. It would of been close if I did, Im sure.
Was lots of fun going after the AVs though Made it feel like you were ready to go after the incarnate powers.

Quote:Yeah, his Total Focus is MEAN!Originally Posted by Syntax42
I basically soloed it on my Dark/Shield scrapper. I was teamed with a BS/Shield but he faceplanted a few times and I did most of the DPS and tanking. Honoree hits hard, so he killed me once with a couple lucky hits.
-
Okay...who else was set to AVs and soloed it?
I had to double check my settings on Trapdoor. Seems he's always an EB.
Captain Holtz, I was able to solo with no temps or inspirations.
Weakened Honoree..OMG! His regen must be up there! Or his lethal resist.
Maybe if I had the PvP -Resist Proc in Sweeping Strike, instead of a Damage Proc, maybe that could of made a difference?
With him, had to use damage skittles and figured might as well use the Envenomed Dagger while I'm at it for good measure.
I'm thinking some shielders will probably have better luck than my DB/WP. -
How I did it...
Regenerative Tissue Unqiue was slotted into Health.
Miracle Unique was slotted into Fast Healing
Numina Unique was slotted into High Pain Threshold, a long with a Numina Heal, Numina Heal/END, a lvl 50 Gen Heal IO, and the two +3% Defense IOs.
Don't know your build, so maybe you were able to get more slots into FH and/or Health. I kept them one slotted. -

Was it Creepshow or The Twilight Zone movie? Where he palyed the guy who buried his victims in the sand then watched the tide roll over them? That definitely gave me chills.
And, apparently, he was the deadpan voice of Generation X/Y, judging by the reactions of my friends. Who knew? -

Quote:Okay, you want psychopathic and homicidal maniacs, and you haven't played the Resistance Crusdaer arc? o.OOriginally Posted by RadDidIt
This is going to sound weird, but...
I consider all Resistance members villainous. They are nothing but deranged terrorists (even Devore admits that Calvin Scott has utterly and completely fallen off the deep end), seeking to destroy a relative utopia. That is why I never play Resistance; I simply feel too evil, too destructive.
All of my toons are either true-blue heroes or psychopathic and homicidal maniacs.
Admittedly they can all be seen as heroes from certain perspectives, but I saw nothing really unheroic about the Warden Resistance Arc myself.
Maybe you need to read the arcs to realize this.
Haven't completed the Loyalist Power arc yet (slow going on this character of mine), but it didn't seem to be heroic either

Just picked up Mac pack for my account.
I'm trying to decide whether to bother with ordering the GR box from Best Buy for my husband's rarely played account. Their site states that it is back-ordered with a delivery date of 2-3 weeks. By that time, I may be able to pick up a box somewhere as stores clear their shelves for year-end inventory. -
Quote:Not really sure if making it non-interruptable will help Stalkers do better DPS, but it might just make Stalkers the best at DPE.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
When you said "health," I assumed base health. My bad.
While I agree with your general direction, I don't think that should be done by making Stalkers better at scrapping, but rather by making them better at hiding.
Certainly. That I can support. Personally, I'd like to see Assassin's Strike be made uninterruptible (so you can use it as part of your attack chain), but lowering its cost so it doesn't sting as much when it interrupts would be good, as well. -
Hate to hear it.

Quote:You are of course able to enjoy the show however you want. Just curious though, what's wrong with them setting the show in another Earth different than the comics, as they done, and accepting it that way?Originally Posted by Forefinger_
I watched this with my 3-year-old son yesterday. Really exciting and action packed. The animation was really impressive. I wish they would make another Justice League series with that quality of animation. Anyway, we both really enjoyed the show and will continue watching.
I'm assuming that Robin was Tim and maybe we will see Dick as Nightwing at some point. Also, I think that the Flash in the League was Wally and that Kid Flash is really Impulse. It may not be true, but that's how I'm going to enjoy the show. -

Quote:o.O I've played both (and A LOT OF scrappers)...Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Do you realise what you're suggesting here? If you raise Stalker hit points in any way, they become Scrapper hit points. If you raise Stalker damage, it pretty much becomes Scrapper damage. They already have Scrapper defensive numbers on top of that all, so what you're suggesting is to make Stalkers into Scrappers with a higher percent chance to score criticals which goes up even higher on a team and the ability to score hidden criticals.
I still maintain my opinion from before - Stalkers need to be improved, but not by making them more like Scrappers. If necessary, increase the size of their hidden and combat criticals up to 120% power damage or some such, or make their Hide harder to break or unbreakable by outside forces, make them rehide even faster, make them rehide on a kill or on a critical or what have you. If Stalkers are to be improved, they should be improved to be better at what they're designed around, not better at not using that mechanic.
I didn't say raise their base health, just the cap and I'm not even saying raise it to Scrapper cap level.
That aside, raising the damage shouldn't be a problem, they should already be the highest damaging melee, and they're not.
Though, you have made me think of another idea...
Lower Assassin Strike End Cost! Maybe even to zero. The best DPE attack! And if it fails to go off for whatever reason, you're not screwed out of the END.

Now first off, let me say, I love all of Kinetic Melee's animations and I love the set! To me it's a perfect set all around!
However, I'd love to throw some kicks in there!
This isn't about Consentrated Strike either, as I know some just hate the animation.
But I feel this set just needs some kicks!
Eagle's Claw animation with some added hangtime put in (since CS has a longer animation time than Martial Art's animation) would be perfect for an alternate animation for Concentrated Strike.
Quick Strike can easily get Storm Kick and Thunderkick animation put in (same in reverse for putting the QS animation in for one of the MA attacks) as they have the same animation time.
All these great sets, and they could really use some alternate animations between fist and foot strikes, without have to do a bunch of brand new animations!
I'm not even sure I want brand new, never seen animations myself CoH has some great kick animations, and I'd just love to see them ported around to the various sets, I just mention Kinetic Melee, as it's what I'm currently using.
-
Well, continuing playing my stalker, and really, from a team stand point and solo wise, I think Stalkers, still, just need a higher damage mod.
Now, the only problem I see with this, is PvP, so what could be done is have the current damage mod in PvP and a higher one in PvE.
An increase in health would still be handy as well, just so all the sets can make use of the +Health granted in set bonuses, or even Frostworks from Cold Domination users, as it's just to easy to cap HP and have set bonuses go to waste right now. -
Quote:With Teen Titans Go! comic, they're not giving it its own universe?Originally Posted by Durakken
The movies take place in their own universe...
The DCAU or Timmverse is the shows that were created between Batman the Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited... there are also at least 3 comics that explore this universe.
The following titles are not part of anything "universe"
The Batman
Teen Titans
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
The DCAU is more or less Earth-12 (thus making it part of official cannon)
Young Justice, even though it's not part of the Timm verse (which premiered tonight and i forgot to watch it grrr.) is Earth-16 (thus making it part of official cannon)
