  1. odd thing stuck me..i guess its ok to farm the itf for double xp but not the ae?...

    guess some of you have farmers denial..either way they will have it. it will be double. and yes you will complain about it.

    ill help you all out..stop worrying what people do with htier money . play your way and be happy .

    all those farmers will just go to p.i. and do regular mishes for the xp..so either way they will get the 2xp. what difference would it make to punish the ones that dont farm it.

    Shield/Ss

    i dont think anyone really puts farm builds on here..only reason is most farmers have tond of money and have exspensive builds.

    alot of people here tend to shy away from it but i can tell you for shields to soft cap yourself out to start 45% defense in all melee,range and aoe..

    if your planning on running the map yourself with no help like i do youll need some recovery bonus's to help with your rage crash and bigger mobs.

    not to mention youll want recharge bonus's to make footstomp and shield charge up more and faster. to me farming or p.ling is about speed.more recharge and more recov = not stopping and kiling faster for more xp and influence

    grab fireball for a third aoe as well..

    dual builds are great for that ..one team build one farm build

    My first 50...

    grats to ya! my first 50 was a tank as well.

    i might be biased but pfft to hell with it aint nothing better then to pop a 50 tanker!
  4. posi has to balance the game in issue 18...try like issue 20 .

    by that time they'll say it again about base loving and then they can fire that dev too.
  5. i think the devs stopped with the" you dont HAVE to use i.o's "and stil be effective statement

    i think they realize now thats not true at all...issue i have is..they clearly arent balancing that way. in fact their not even close to making it ok for casual's to make it in this entire game let alone in pvp.

    maybe someday the devs will understand what their doing..but i think its time for a few devs changes again..their way to into themselves and not the game.

    hopefully they straighten up.. their only a month away from losing people. and frankly we have nothing on the horizen to keep people here.
  6. just to point out why not add brutes in there?

    my brother has a elec/shield brute and lightning rod and sheild charge with aao and fury = win

    not to mention ss/sheild you get rage and aao AND fury on top of shield charge and footstomp

    i havent done one myself as i have a 50 shield/fire tank and like tanks myself but you shouldnt rule out a brute on full fury and aao running is win as well.
  7. yup got mapserved and now were down..
  8. are you able to 6 slot build up?...cause you can also get 2.5% melee,2.5% aoe a,d 2.5% range defense in the 6th bonus

    plus you can get the steadfast 3% defense unqiue which is relatively cheap nowadays to help all your defense types

    hopefully your using weave and cj as well in your build..if you post the build i could help ya more since my shield/fire is soft capped

    i did however get the other 3% defense from the new pvp i.o's but thats alittle too much to ask atm with pvp recipes broken
  9. my 50 dark/dark was an end hog as well...as talon said dark regen is huge on end.

    frankly my feeling on dark either way is meh at best ..i wanted elec armor when we got dark but i went for it anyways and wanted to like it but just felt blah about it. your feeling honestly most likely wont change.

    i havent played my dark/dark since it hit 50..by 40 i had lost interest..my least favorite honestly
  10. freezing aura had damage placed in it..yes its still a sleep but its and aoe damage power now more then a sleep
  11. isnt pvp mainly about burst damage now?..i dont see fire.emp being bursty enough honestly

    i dont pvp anymore as well but with heal decay and all that going against a healer..might not work out as well

    twixt pwns jo0 all!
  13. well i have a shield/fire but your gonna need tough and weave and hasten is good as well

    and yup stamina is a must.

    your main goal is to soft cap it to45% defense to really help make ya golden.you can use a ton of different sets to help it out.

    Hey now, I'm not all excited about the problems either but I won't begrudge them some time off for a national holiday. I have to work on days like these so to me it seems a little unfair, but I'm glad other folks don't have to.

    It will get fixed, I will gnash my teeth until it does but everyone it entitles to some time off.

    [/ QUOTE ]


    i dont car about people taking holidays off....however...today was NOT a holiday..tommorrow is..and yes im working it.

    with a exspansion,new issue and tons of new bugs to squash... frankly they should all be at work today. even the banks and post offices were open..give me one GOOD reason why their not at work and ill retract it.
  15. i dont know hatred..was alittle snarky..he was asking about farming..and last i knew fire/kins had to wait until alittle higher to do such a thing..you know not having fs and fireball and all that
  16. yes i use pvp i.o's and yes they arent dropping now..and yes the devs are sure not worried about it.

    im sure their too busy taking days off..(most likely their off today im betting) and going to movies and planning on field trips to cons to worry about their screw ups at work.

    priorities ya know..
  17. havent really loooked into the new booster..can anyone give a clue to some of the higher points of it?

    theres a few threads on test section and people going crazy ..i gave up trying
  18. lulz..first i dont even HAVE a fire tank, then no life..hell now ive only been playing for a year..sweeeeet!

    first off...ive been playing since dec 26th 2004. my very first toon ever was * surprise* a fire tank.

    and frankly since you wont put me on ignore i think some of you are getting off on me..and frankly i dont swing that way so maybe taking your own advice would be helpful.
  19. you 2 are funny...nothing to add cause you know your advice would mean little..so you attack me cause i have better builds and more money..makes sense.

    jealously is a tough thing...

    life,girlfriend yadda yadda...after being in this game for 5 years you should have all this already. and yes i have a life.full time job ,a home and a woman..thanks for thinking like 12 year olds though.

    oh and my fire tank hs over 600 badges..why all my toons would want all the badges is just dumb.

    grow up and take your own advice..and dont be mad at people who have more then you. its clear you have issues with that.
  20. it is if i answered his questions..

    the other nubs opinion isnt helping the op..just an attack..most likely jealousy

    got a better idea then mine..lets hear em
  21. cause thats what the op is ASKING about...its not about you nub.
  22. yes..with e.d. they killed and hurt tanks the most

    you can add soooooooo much to fill the holes the devs created

    you dont NEED i.o's but their certainly awesome to have.
  23. he wants a farm build..which ive had since issue 2.

    me and my 23 lvl 50s says different..ive made over 20 billion dollars as well.and not from the market..flippers are nubs with bad toons that cant farm.

    hell i spent over 2 billion yesteday out of spite for some nub who didnt even think i HAD a fire tank just to prove a point

    i can see where my advice would make wary..i mean who wants that many 50s AND that much money..but hey..go for it.

    oh btw..i wouldnt drop consume either..unless you got perma end like i do..then consume is worthless

    at the end of it all...ill be over here counting my money kthankzbia



    *edit*..why pick weave?..ill tell you...cause of the 3% resist damage i.o and lotg + recharges

    fire tanks dont have DEFENSe powers to use these things..therefore its not about the defense..its about slotting for the unqiues..course since you most likely dont know that you clearly are misinformed .

    3 slotting your travel on tanks is dumb and tanks dont have the luxury of wasting on such trash by having 24% more jump in super jump..no thanks
  24. not really..for all those that make a plan..mine was recharge and recov..

    others choose defense..others choose damage...all depending on your plan
