Cynic

Oh yeah, I know there are good stormies (Psygon plays a good storm) and their Knockback I dont like. But if the playstyle would normally get you kicked from a team being on a TF is just going to make 7 people hate you.

/Dark has good controlled knockback and would be my recomendation

Playing Kin drives me insane, I hate it. I liked TA though, which was almost as busy, but not quite IMO.

I wouldn't recomend TA as a first defender though

Storm/Psi is great

Psi Tornado rocks.

Also, you can get around the "lot of soloing" part by volunteering to go on task-forces. People don't dare to kick you out even if you are knockbacking, knockdowning and knockuping every single thing in a Room of Death.

(Mental Joe, my lv 30 storm/psi currently has 6 knockback/down/up powers I think)

Hmmmm, list of characters I should avoid having on my TF teams please? Dont like the idea of someone saying "Yeah my build annoys teams but you're stuck with me now"

Energy in general, but Torrent form Dark Blast is probably more KB than any single power in the EN set.

A storm/dark could cycle Gale and Torrent I'd imagine fairly well

Good point, would really like to know by about 7pm Friday so I can drink more if we're not able to get on.

There's a maximum HP cap (someone with figures provide it please). So Frostwork doesn't give its full benefit to people with HP increases of their own.

Easiest way to test this is with Blasters actually as their cap didn't get raised when their hit points did and you'll find they get a lower boost from Frost Work than others do

Might be able to make sundays not 100% sure as yet. Either bruting or blasting I guess

I'd probably go Dark/Psi or Dark/Sonic for if it was solo and team and Dark/Elec or Dark/Rad for pure teams.

Another one? Grats

Grats Sing, well done

I wonder if we can terrify any of the AVs..............

Your playstyle is what your blaster makes it unique. Ranged or melee, mixed or combo, its what you like most. You're not playing wrong if u stay ranged being /nrg, neither if u go melee while being AR.

Each set can be played differently, even the same set can be played differently. Depending on the mobs, u even have to play differently (some mobs u dont wanna be with on melee range).

You have a point, FSC and Combustion are really bad on low level Nems cause those little steambots blow up and kill you

Sub will be active and I may be on from time to time. I know I want to be here for I11 now that finally there will be a new scrapper secondary I can make my Claws with and I also I know I want to get my blaster to 50. Just when I play might be infreequent for a while

I can do 9am next Sat easy enough, would be hard pushed this week to pull a late nighter due to new car registrations and being in finance (will be brain fried every night anyway)

Defiant

It was fine at 1:30am so was thinking it was their end

You getting a database error? Just want to check its the same thing

Will do and will keep trying. Am very confident this can and will be done. I'd got up early to get shivans just incase (having said I'd be late earlier in the week I know)

I just installed a fresh version on my laptop to see if it was the one on my PC and am still getting the same. I tried my second account too for the same error and have been trying periodically for the last hour.

I fear there is no test server for me today

Is anyone getting a database error trying to log onto test or just me? I know test was working yesterday cause I passed enhancements to my scrapper

Just got home, Sat day (up until 6pm) will be fine with me most weeks now I'm not doing my regular STF, will log tomorrow though and see if Lycon makes it first though

My Brute Fire/DA = In first and often dragging second group
My Brute Elec/Fire = In first, group dead in one attack
My Dominator = In first and AoE hold, or Out of LoS and Ice Slick then in with AA and ISC
My MM = Cone fear then in, often others in melee before me
My lower MM = Stand back cone fear, heal ranged pets. Often attack first

This was my last week of the Saturday STFs for a while. Will definitely be up for them again when I11 goes live. Just wanted to thank you all for turning up and making them fun. This week did show as to how much we'd got it down. Fighting all 4 AVs at once with no temp powers was just mocking them really wasn't it? But every run has been fun. From the first weekend after its release till today.

It made my Rad fun to play again and gave me real reason to perfect her build, and also made me use team speak from time to time. Hope when I come back to them you're all still doing them, or you'll all want to join me then.

Ladies and gentlemen I salute you!

First time we took her down we just buffed the tanks defence and then sat at range. Second time we had a couple of buffed scrappers in there too. After that we did the taunting from range trick. The taunting from range trick seems to be easier so we mostly use that now

Have 2 Dam/Range in Dark Blast now, so if you want me to try and split the AVs in the last mission I should be able to (not done it myself but its what MaX uses to pull with his defender before tank taunts on our Saturday runs) It makes it a nice ranged attack anyway

Also heavily increased my Acc slotting.

If someone's going to taunt GW from range I might be able to Imob her with another also stacking but I dont think this is your plan somehow
