Procs are the spice of life.

Next up on my kill-badge list is Caleb, our lovely Giant Monster from Nerva Archipelago.
Summoning him supposedly requires no more effort than defeating 100 or more Nerva Spectral Daemons in Nerva Archipelago. These are very common around Primeva and Thorn Isle. Supposedly, he spawns above Thorn Isle.
Defeating this oversized spectral daemon grants the successful team(s) the HellBane badge. Badges are nice and shiny, aren't they? You know you want it.
Of course, anyone who already has the badge is welcome to come help as well. The more the merrier.

So, who would be interested in summoning and destroying this creep? I'll make a list of participants if I get any people interested to reply in this thread.

Also, what time would be the most comfortable for most people?

I've always said Dark Armor is the worst Brute set. No KB resist, way too many toggles, two of which nerf your fury generation, a self rez*, and both Elec and WP have (well, slightly less?) Psi resist so that benefit isn't unique anymore either. Eats Endurance like you had a Malta Sapper stuck up your [censored].

*(I generally dislike self rez powers as they are situational and require you to die to use them... It's generally a better idea just not to die in the first place. Of course, DA's self rez has some tactical uses in teams...)

This thread is a lovely summary of everything that is wrong with PvP in CoX today and that should be fixed in the future.

Without combos Dual Blades has a copy of Followup from claws only with a faster recharge.

[/ QUOTE ]I realise Brutes don't have Claws, but I'd just like to say that this statement is false. Both Follow Up and Blinding Feint have 12 seconds of recharge. Blinding Feint simply animates 0.3 seconds faster when used.

True, there's always a way to exploit the opponent being a one-trick-pony/moron. Simple ways like not standing still, for example. Stalkers' AS is pretty much removed from your threat list if you simply don't stand still.

Hmm. Note to self, Rage Crash = good time to use Sands of Mu, whenever I get it.

Ninjitsu has more tricks up its sleeve (including a heal!) whereas the defense difference is insignificant.

I'm Invul/SS if that changes anything.

Why exactly would you invite non-trustworthy people into your SG in the first place?

Holy hell. I think you managed to pick one of the end-hungriest (if not THE end-hungriest) powerset combo possible on a Brute.
6slotting Stam might actually be a good idea here. Get as much +recovery from IO set bonuses as possible, too. And team with anyone that can give endurance (Rad, Kin Corruptors, etc.)

If I manage to fire off Rage again before the first one wears off, does the first one wearing off still cause the crash or is the crash skipped?

why katana ? pvp is about burst and broadsword is the better of the two in burst

[/ QUOTE ]Concept? Or maybe he just likes katanas better than broadswords.

Rikti Axe, I think?

He isnt a Huntsman is he? he doesnt have the colar, raised spider limb backpack or the cape. I always assumed he was a general grunt.

and i would still team with a bright pink wolf spider before i would ever team with that idiot. I hope on the SoA arch we get to defeat him and humiliate him

Regards

Spider

[/ QUOTE ]He does have Huntsman costume bits in the later missions in the game where you encounter him.
Bet he's gonna be a Crab or Bane by i12.

If you're intending to put together a team to defeat the Flyer, send a tell to @Transient One, or send me a PM here on the forums.

Here u will see what is the Omega Maneuver... it is a bit long, but it is worth the time

I liked it.

[/ QUOTE ]Suddenly a City of Heroes/Villains anime sounds like an awesome idea.

Throw Spines? :/

For Energy Aura I could recommend Dark Melee as a primary.

The Dusk Spiders is one that's already been created in advance, intended to be a (primarily) VEAT-focused villaingroup.

Give Villains a try.

So wait, are they going to get Stealth Strike, Executioner's Strike, or both?

Banes: Call Reinforcements
Crabs: Omega Maneuver
Fortunata: Psionic Wail
Night Widows: ??? (Mind Probe lulz)

DA is an Endurance hog, has low resistances and no defense, the heal costs 33% of your endurance bar, the mez auras make you generate fury slower. DA does not have an end drain.
EA is disliked by many for reasons I cannot understand as of yet, on paper it looks good and I'm enjoying it so far... on a level 14 Brute though, so I can't comment on how it does mid/late game from experience. Has an End drain, has Conserve Power (which is always a plus in my opinion), has a godmode which DA doesn't if you like that sort of thing. Doesn't waste* a power on a self rez. Also, it's a defense set which means you'll generate fury while avoiding the damage as things attack you. Finally, I hear the self stealth is bugged or something, in a good way - you can kill enemies one at a time without drawing agro from others nearby as long as you keep it on. Or so I've heard. One complaint I hear about EA is that it has no taunt aura (and on top of that the stealth reduces threat level).

*(Debatable if self-rezzes are a waste, but it is my personal opinion that a situation power that has "You are dead" as the condition is silly. The goal should be not to die in the first place. And yes, I am aware of its tactical uses in large teams...)

Would be interested in all of the above (if possible at my level) on my level 36 Claws/SR Scrapper.
