He had a go against Lusca solo on his 50 PB, with predictable (to me) results. We're doing TFs with him to get those, and today I logged in and got skype running, and as we were playing he told me of an encoutner he had earlier that day with a GM.

He spotted said GM whilst hunting ghosts in Croatoa, tabbing for the next mob. He told me that he'd never seen this particular monster before, and hadn't tried soloing one since he became T4 incarnated, so he figured what the heck, he'd have a go. He thought it best not to take any chances, so he buffed up, ate a full tray of large inspirations, got all his pets out (even his Shivans and Warwolves), charged in and unleashed his Judgement for an initial strike...

Poor Sally didn't stand a chance, really.

I laughed like a drain when he told me this. He said that only then did he check out Sally on paragonwiki, and after hanging round for half an hour, he defeated her the second time with a shot from his tier 1 attack.

I'm all for doing it through the market, or other ways, but it's not fair to those of us who HAVEN'T been playing for 5-6+ years to not have access to things unless we shell out lots of money.

For example, War Works deal heavily in ranged Energy damage, and 9CU-line robots and IDF Heavy Commanders deal the thoroughly odd combo of Toxic and Energy damage at range. Seers also of course deal in Psi damage, and also wield terrorize effects, which a lot of melee powersets lack protection from.

They also deal significant defense and DR debuffs, which are auto-hit.

It's worth noting that such foes are not totally new - the IDF bear a lot of similarity in terms of damage they deal to Arachnos, with less Fire damage and more Energy. It's worth noting, especially since Arachnos predates IOs, that they seem to have been designed to bypass common powerset protections more than IOs, per se. However, I think those same design happen to also serve well against IO'd characters, and I think it's telling that some of the abilities underwent such a direct translation into "end game" critters.
