Anyone know for sure how defence works with body guard?

Is it:

1) Only the MM's defence counts

or

2) MM's defence works out whether the attack hits the pets defence works out whether the attack damages them

I have been considering playing about with provoke and maybe tough on my MM for a while. I have decided that tough is being left for a different MM but provoke will be picked up after a respec.

My reasoning behind picking up provoke is the following:

6 pets in bodyguard mode = 75% resist to all damage types
Self defence buffs from FF set and my patron shield = about 30% def to smash leathal and energy. THis should mean that although I only have about 900 health I can tank more effectively than a brute assuming I have a corruptor with an area heal sitting beside me.

Ok I am confirming this for tonight so far we have 3 places still open.

Team as it stands is:

Dr E Genius
Dark Mist
Dr Zweistein
Kiss of Death
Doc O'bay

The mission is going to be relatively quick as I think we'll be fighting 46/47's which means we shouldnt have any problems.

A new 1x2 Workshop will be available costing 50,000 Prestige. It, too, can not have any Dimensional Anchors in it, and it is limited to 1 Worktable and 1 Storage object, as well as 1 Empowerment Station.

if it's 1x2 you can only fit one item in there since you need the other square for door access, so it's 1 workstation/storage/empowerment not and. Or am I confused on this?

In a 1 X 2 area you can fit 1 worktable, empowerment station and storage item depending on how you place them. Items cannot be placed within a certain distance of doors but they can still be placed in the square that a door connects to. For example my sg at one point had 2 wroktables, 1 empoweremnt station and 3 storage items in a 2 X 2 workshop so thats 6 items in 4 squares.

The room would still be pretty useless if its got 2 doorways..

Yes but as it is designed to be of limited use and will probbly be used with the oversight room then you could easily place it so it only has one door, the same could go for the new medical and teleport rooms.

Ok I will try to arrange some time next week but as I am trying to get a new job I dont know if I will be working in an evening. So we can go for Monday 24th at 8.00pm (BST) will know by friday if I cant do it.

hi there!
its all about how much prestige u got,if u wanna build sum usefull stuff. it takes pretty much to get it started.

I seem to have now about 690 000 prestige at the moment. I have only the base room, so haven't done anyting except some decorations. Yes, my SG will be allways single player SG. Most of my ALT's are in this SG, haven't added them all yet.

First thing you will probably want is a workshop with insp, enhancement and salavge store to share stuff between your alts. After that you can either go for empowerment stations or start saving for power and control rooms. Power and control will set you back about 600k for the minimum control and power base items and then you can place either worktables to build stuff or med bay or tp rooms. For teleporters you need the basic worktable.

Ok appologies but this thing is off due to the stupid heat wave. My video card gets hot in normal temperatures playing CoX and just having tried to log on I lost all image on the monitor and had to reset comp.

Ok I will see who's about and if we have enough will run it and then you'll be envious at not having the badge.

If there is space, I'll be happy to join! I'm afraid I can't blow people up anymore, but I sure do have a few other tricks up my sleeves

[/ QUOTE ]

Why no more blowing people up? If you dont blow stuff up you get the cynic praising job

Ok taking on your advice what do you think of this for up to level 20:

01) --> Transfusion==> Empty(1)
01) --> Neutrino Bolt==> Empty(1)
02) --> X-Ray Beam==> Empty(2)
04) --> Siphon Power==> Empty(4)
06) --> Siphon Speed==> Empty(6)
08) --> Hurdle==> Empty(8)
10) --> Assault==> Empty(10)
12) --> Speed Boost==> Empty(12)
14) --> Electron Haze==> Empty(14)
16) --> Health==> Empty(16)
18) --> Inertial Reduction==> Empty(18)
20) --> Stamina==> Empty(20)

When I get to 26 fitness will be dropped and hasten and tactics replacing 2 of the powers and maybe hover the 3rd to negate knockback.

K new plan you do all the work while the rest of us nap. That ok?

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as you all praise me and go Ohhhh and Ahhhh with my lovely fire effects (and pass me CaBs if we dont have a /cold, or even a /kin I guess)

[/ QUOTE ]

Would a /rad do with regards to end recovery if so Zwei can do the praising and recovery bit assuming she is coming.

GG you do relise this is the villain board dont you?

K new plan you do all the work while the rest of us nap. That ok?

If you come your gimped brute has one use die so you can do more damage by rezzing or let Zwei do extra damage

Hunting where?

I have limited experience of defenders (2 different empaths up to level 8) so as I have been considering playing a hero with a kin powerset to get me back into heroes I was wondering if Kin/Rad if a valid combination for an offender?

What powers can I look at leaving out as although I plan to be an offender I am going to make 2 power concessions to team play in the form of speed boost and ID. Also is it possible to go without stamina as the build looks quite tight? Is siphon power needed or can I pick up another attack at sub level 10 instead?

I am looking to put together a team to farm a shadow shard mission for the visionary badge got by defeating 100 overseers. The mish should have lvl 47 enemies in although all level ranges are welcome if there are enough people to lackey. If you are interested either post below, PM me or message me in game.

Start time will be about 8.00pm BST

Gratz Zwei, first member of ARAD to ding. Now go out there and farm prestige

Same offer to you war. Just messagem me in game can spare about a mil of infamy if you need that much.

My pleasure, suprised no one had posted a thread already.

Not hit 50 but do have nearly 5 mil of inf spare. Will happily give you some if you message me in game. I dont need influence as I have stopped playing my heroes

Gratz to Dark Mist on hitting 50. Only brute I know of that causes more damage to AV's dead than alive

Anyway big gratz Cynic.

Gratz to grey claw on making her way to 50 during the recluse sf we ran tonight. First time I teamed with you that I can remember but gratzon 50 and 200+ badges (which is of course more important )

For control check out the advance databases that link with the super computer I believe they cost 1 mill and add 500 control.

You can use advance terminals which are about 300k (i think) but Im not sure on the control they add.

Both of these aux items are on the 3rd work table.
