    Back then, all we did was take naps. Because we had no sleep protection. !

    ha! that reminds me of the devs making me take burn not for damage but cause it was my hold/sleep and immob protection! forgot about that..too funny

    The Longest Wait

    the fact is..i heard more about this game when it was jacks then i have as posi's

    infact the amount of info since jacks departure is horribly low.sure jack ruined and killed off half the population.but since then i dont think they have done enough to fix it.

    nerf after nerf after nerf after nerf..all i can say is..be concerned cause as of the 17th im back outta here.i only upped to use the free transfer things and that was it.

    and as it stands now..i have not one plan to get goin rogue and i dont think it will help nor fix this game.also i wont be buying a new computer for the "super snazzy" look either. the amount of ghost servers on this game does not warrant my pocket to give out enough money for a upgrade to a half dead and half empty game.

    i think the devs and mr clayton should have thought of that first.
  3. oh joy..more of the same content repeated when their not even close to new content..


    oh , the horror ,the horror .
  4. if it makes you feel any better guardian is as well a ghost town..cant find squat there either.

    people "say" their there all the time..but you never see them. unless their lowbie is spamming for an itf that is.

    The Longest Wait

    i think its too late anyways..people already leaving ( yes again) waiting for nothing iterally to come out?..why stay and play the old tired content?

    there is none...posi hasnt posted in god knows how long about anything of importance.(hero con was 4 months ago..nothing since then)

    oh and leave states and issue 7 out of the convo...it was one time in like 6 years..get over it...at that point there was 1000000000 people still playing and people still teaming.

    id wait again for it if people were still on this game and half the servers werent dead.
  6. yeah what a.t. to farm with is mostly up to you...i would never farm with a scrapper when i can use my fire/fire tank....its been the biggest farmer since issue 2 and still works to this day

    the issue for a shield/elec would be end imo..no end recovery tool sucks.

    brutes usually use ss/wp cause its easy mode.is it the best maybe ,maybe not. but its easy cause of qr and wp's regen ability. you just stand there for the first mob ..build up your fury and its off to the races.

    scrappers will rely on crits which is fine but l.r. and s.h. arent the greatest recharge.so it might take more money to build better then an easy fire/kin would be.

    not to mention having to spend money to soft cap it.i have no doubt they are aoe goodness but he did want a fire/kin

    Elec Armor

    everyone already knows the +def in parry is as typical as chosin a scrapper to pvp with in the first place..only 98% of the blue side is a scrapper for crying out loud.

    its as bad as being a wp/ss tank in pvp and saying your built it without pvp in mind but just happen to be in a pvp zone with it.

    if this game ever makes it to yet another pvp change /ss will get nerfed harder then e.m. did.

    and scrappers will also be pissed.so dont feel bad.ice tanks started the maddness and it just continues from there...only good thing is ice patch and frozen aura dont inturrpurt now and nibernub isnt forever anymore.thanks to players with no skill its just a clear way of showing how bad everything will be nerfed until its a shadow of its former self...cant wait for /ss ti get it myself.
  8. it doesnt matter what tank you use for hami..the eoes are the key.

    the lead tank on guardian is invul..but anything can be use.theres not one "best" theres just peoples favorites.as long as you pop an eoe you will never die from it the mitos or hami.

    oh and all tanks take damage if they dont pop an eoe. ..so dont let anyone here fool you.

    ivbe used 4 different kind of tanks for hami..none ever died. that includes my fire,shield ,elec and wp...that issue is to make sure those tanks without kb protection have enough to withstand a mito blast and not flap around like a dork.

    and as far as ice being the fastest to lvl to 50?...yeah dont think so.it truly depends on how much playing time you got and how fast you want it..or if your gonna p.l. it...
  9. well theres 10 people in this thread..thats currently 60% of the guardian population :P
  10. you can tell its gettin boring around here when zombie man appears in the guardian section..

    Server Merger...

    try not being on freedom and say that..just cause your on the highest poulation server doesnt mean it shouldnt happen or doesnt need to happen.

    if only 900 people are on..how many of that is dual accounts?..take away a 1/3rd of that then..then on top on that look to the 100 people on guardian or a few others.you wont even get 200 not counting all the dual accounts .

    subscriptions are low period..gr should be in beta already and theres been no word from posi in months...sorry but i dont take what bill says either.thats like listening to ac..just aint gonna happen
  12. pvp will never work when the devs have their favorites..as of now scrappers still rule as 99% of the blue population is a scrapper


    gee why is that castle?..hmmm???


    oh and super strength will have to get the axe as well.(like energy got finally).the tohit in rage is overpowered in pvp...just ask all the /ss tanks in pvp...trust me..theres plenty spammin kob nubs there
  13. both are too different..

    shield is a defensive set and elec is resistance.i have both at 50 and they are both awesome to play

    my shield is soft capped and my elec tank is capped in resistance...their playing style rocks and never a dull moment.

    if your wondering which to play..id say both!
  14. not sure elec melee is something you wanna get into unless your a brute when it comes to farming

    clearly fire/fire is supieror and yeah i know everyone can farm with their " add tank here". but lets look at whatca got in comparison

    for fire you rely on the follwing( or at least i do with mine)

    blazing aura
    combustion
    fire sword circle
    fireball
    *burn* ..i dont use it but its there ..all in all 5 aoes.BUT! you also have f.e. and b.u.

    plus some actually take melt armor so you might have a debuff as well

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    elec/elec will have

    lightning rod
    fireball *if you take it.which for farming you should!*
    thunderstrike
    jabobs ladder ( cone)
    chain induction( special helps in mobs)

    add on top just b.u.

    and melt armor if you go that route


    now the issue i see is lightnin rods recharge isnt up enough imo to be totally reilable like fsc is.so it'll be slower as far as damage goes. both have a great heal and elec gets the nod in better resistance which will help build wise


    if you wanted to build a elec/elec brute i would say go for it..or a /elec/wp brute just cause elec's damage scale is alittle meh.but add in a full bar of fury and its crazy mad!!
  15. elec is alittle meh when it comes to damage...the best way to combat that is to roll a brute honestly..you should see what my elec melee / wp brute does at full fury with lightning rod...its awesome!..

    however without it it kinda misses'

    aao and bu is nice an all.but it wont be enough

    if it makes you feel any better ...from issue 2 through after 4 invul players hated you for being a better choice tank...it wasnt until many nerfs to the set,2 tough nerfs and a weave nerf then e.d that made it this way..before all that they were kings

    one slotted tough in iss 2 had you resist capped..then when they nerfed tough it was like 3 or 3 1/2 slots for the cap. then burn( a few i might add) nerf then e.d.

    this aint cause your always been gimped...you just are now. in some peoples eyes anyways

    oh and to the ops...ive said it before and ill say it again..

    anyone can play a tank but not everyone can be a tanker. fire isnt hiding in a big *** rock and just letting them hit you.it takes work.but there aint nothing you cant do in this game then any other tank

    not only can i totally tank but i wreck **** up with mine and thats way more fun then being on my stone tank.ive had people quit the team cause they cant keep up with my fire tank..no lie.

    but unlike the easy slotting of granite you have to actuallly work on a fire tanks build. beucase it is weaker then a few others doesnt mean one bit that it cant out tank 99% of the tanks in the game and its been proven my friend!
  18. the difference lies in not the kin part but in the pets..3 imps can kill faster then one chompy can.

    hotfeets damage helps but i suppose carrion creepers wont be up every mob so again the advantage goes to a fire/kin.

    other then that the same rule applys aoe immob,fs and fireball..at least thats the way i look at it
  19. i wonder what mental is gettin me for xmas!!!
  20. for bm mish you wont need ff ( although make sure you pick it up!)...you simply firecage them from distance first...they will draw out their ranged weapon which is the crossbow and then you run into melee range ..by the time they draw out the maces and swords their all dead and avoid the stuns from mace.

    plus it saves on a long drawn out ff animation.which means more influ and xp quicker!...i mostly do ff for the dual mobs

    oh and i dont die while farming..if you know your routine wel enough you wont die..dying is for nubs with new fire/kins..in fact if a duo my mish with my brothers fire/kin we duo battle madien as well as an a.v...and thats with no defense.she goes down easy to 2 fire/kins and i always take aggro first !
  21. yes you can be logged in both..ive done it before. so unless they have changed it...the answer is yes

    test is its "own " client...its not connected to any other server..thats why it can be done..if it wasnt we would have it in the same listings as the other servers and not having to download it with a different path.
  22. well its a nice build..just to comment on a couple of things

    a farm build with weave and mnanevers?...nah!

    the resistance from tough and fire sheild is enough..id pick up cj, and sj over that....place your lotg in cj .

    i know your going the defense route but strictly from a farm build...its not needed..the mobs are easy and trying to soft cap defense on farm builds is fine on shield tanks but on a fire/kin is just a waste

    you wanna maximize recharge not maximize defense..this way mobs die faster and your xp skyrockets..not cause you dont wanna be hit
