Brimmy

big gratz infy well deserved indeed....

now i need to go ding another 50 so i have one more than you again XD

the only "fear" being removed that i have EVER heard about so far was when (in a redname post) it was said that the fear/repel in burn was being looked at. other than that i havent heard squat, but then again, i just found out i've missed the posts about that bundle thingy so i might have missed a "removing fear" post thingy as well

what tha...... -fly in fire and removing fear?? seriously??

if this is the case then i think someones gone mad.

you really dont need end reducers in hide either, it costs far to little to bother with it imo, and instead of putting Def Bufs in it i'd put more damages into the first 2 attacks, but thats just me

you might want a third def buf in the toggles and for the love of god take BOTH of them.

only danger sence will be suicide since your a meele fighter

your not gonna take Focused Fighting till lvl 28!?!?!? WHY!?

i've done some PvP with my stoney, and its really not that bad, its all in what powers you take and how you slot them as for any other build.

stone meele might not be "über" in PvP due to it being a very resisted damagetype (all smashing) but i reckon itll work just fine

after 33 when you've gotten some slots into granite youll be enjoying PvP alot more due to surviving ALOT!

i take my stoney to RV every now and unless there is a dominator around i'm pretty much safe

as for what powers to pick and when to pick them thats up to the player making it, some want offensive tanks, some want defensive only, some want scrankers just lay out a "build" as an
overview of the powers you plan to take and then you can always change the order as you go along, and slotting is really hard to say just like this due to ppl having different playstyles so slot as you go along

well enegry absobrtion is great as it is on a bigger mob (tested a friends ice tank for a bit) but with 2 endmods in it youll be able to recover most of your endurance from 2-3 enemies.

and as you said, altering the build as you go will help you as well since its hard to establish a solid build just out of the blue since different playstyles need different slottings, powers etc

the problem youd have with that build would be endurance, ice is a very endheavy set and so is energy meele so spreading some endurance reductions around should be done earlier on.



i'd probably go something like this. i know the slotting might be a little bit off on this one as well (Glacial Armor might need some looking at) but i only threw it together before simpson came back on

i say Katana/regen or katana/sr

i have a katana/regen myself (50) and did it in 230hours pretty much soloing all the way with the occasional teaming here and there

for the record i've had a load of other scrappers too, and they've all been deleted.

allthough if heroes ever get */nin i'd put that rather high since i love it on my stalker

actually the one MaX said is better imho since it says it in the active channel, and since when teaming you usually have team-chat active anyways it doesnt matter

when i used to play my spines/regen (before i got bored with him) i took him to SC a couple of times and i found that quills slotted 2end 2acc (was the slotting i had the time i'm referring to)
and i was fairly safe from stalkers. suure, i couple of 'em made it close/long enough to AS me but also alot of them had problems with Quills, and popping Spine Burst every once in a while helps too since AoE/PBAoE hits even though you dont see them, and the "range" is slightly bigger on Spine Burst than on quills

/e protest: mother and son will win the race, through some dirt in the old mans face!!

"rinse and repeat"

considering myself a friend of Starlet AND her son (Purples) i'll be ranting my behind off if the account gets taken away, i assure you that....

how "he" can even get so pitiful as to [censored] about a frekking game account like that is beyond me.. in my eyes its your Starlet, youve been playing the toons (along with Purples) its your name on the chathandle, and now (if i understand correctly) your paying for it. wth is he on about then... its yours, tell him to bugger off or deal with the raging forumites!! XD


seriously though, i'm with ya Starlet (and purples) anything i can do just say the word

This is the build i have on my solo bs/regen. he's 16 atm and have no problems at all..

took this build to 20 last time i used it but i deleted it back then to make room for other toons

Stone Skin 3 damage resistance
Granite 2end 1Damage res 3def buff

this is in my opinion the best way to slot it

with 3slotted stoneskin and 1 in GA you're pretty much capped in that department

2end reds is needed if your an "active" tanker since GA is quite heavy on end (0.48/tick unslotted iirc)

and the 3def buffs shouldnt need explaining




this is the slotting i use on my lvl50 stone tank and its absolutely lovely

ofc 3slotted swift is almost a must as well

just gonna drop in with some comments as too slotting Granite, those of you slotting 3def 3res i assume dont have Stone Skin (do you?)

bc with 3slotted stone skin you hit rescap with 1-2 +Res in Granite, and since it is quite heavy on endurance i'd really recommend 1-2 End reducers

just because toggles doesnt carry over into Granite doesnt mean Stone Skin doesnt [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i've slotted GA 2End 3Def 1Res and i'm as just about as immortal as i can get (imo)
you dont even need that many slots if you dont want to or just cant spare them.



as for the -acc pffft

Thnx [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
glad to hear the colours came out okay, the background was a bit bright at first so i had to darken it up a little bit, nice to hear i didnt overdo it [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey all, would like some advice on my ice/storm build, currently only lvl 7 so i can still do changes if its needed [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

early morning in PI : PI Sunrise

totally pwnd that fly!! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] : just looks nice

as for using PFF as a panic button, i feel a bit sceptic about that, isnt the acivation time a bit long on PFF??

i used to have it on a troller of mine but that was ages ago so i dont really remember.

but if it is as i think the animation time is a bit too long for a panicbutton.

i'm aiming for Force Mastery as well with my nrg/nrg blaster and i think i might be getting all of it (still not decided on Repulsion Field though)

actually through playing ma/regen katana/regen spines/regen and bs/regen i see katana and bs at a shared 1st place, spines 2nd and ma last


dm and claws didnt even make it past lvl 10

Hey all. my lvl 11 stalker is currently looking for a home

summat with alot of active players (wide lvl range)

the more you love PvP the more at home i'll feel

anyone wanna take me in? :P
