Well the idea was so you can't just buff stack and blow through the whole thing before it expires. Also to take care of unlucky RNG of multiple consecutive hits through def. I think at this point most toon are going to have pretty high def anyway from IOs.
-
Ok, what about soloing with out temps/lore or insps(aside from healing), so you're really relaying on your trees to do the work. Keep dying and coming back from the hosp till you grind it out doesn't count.
-
yeah I got repair. But it's horrid. triage beacon is pretty horrid too. The recharge on these skills are just redic for something that's barely mediocre. And I don't have teleport. My pools are, speed, leadership, fighting, presence and epic force armor.
I might head back to my thugs/dark soon, that combo seems to be a much more 54x8 melter than bot/traps. I can do it on bot/traps but it's alot more planning and stuff dying and re summoning than thugs/dark, which is just tar pit, anchor debuff on a boss, heal on auto till everything's dead. The only beef I have with thugs/dark is their inability to solo GMs without temps or lore.
Maybe I'm playing the combo wrong, I'm trying to find a video of people soloing 54x8 on bot/traps to see how it should be played. -
Ok I passed the SSA. Basically the webnade helped alot since it stopped him from floatin around the map randomly. I also dropped Medicine for Presence and it also seems to help. Except you need to constantly spam it. However not having a decent heal for my pets really hurts, now that I'm in DA. Because apparently everyone and their mom has aoes. I don't recall ever going through this with my thug/dark
-
What type of toon can solo all the Dark Astoria quest chains at 54x8?

The secret to soloing EBs, AVs, and GMs lies in Provoke. Provoke them, debuff them, jump around and make sure you are never near your pets.
As a bot/trap, Wade should have extreme trouble hitting your pets anyhow. He isn't even an AV. With max difficulty he still only qualifies as EB, which I found odd, as Ghost Widow was an AV
I'll drop the medicine pool for presence and spam some nades to see how that goes. On a related topic, is there much difference betten the single target taunt and the aoe taunt in the presence pool, apart from the numbero of targets obv. -

So if you're traps, you should be able to keep the EB/AV from running away with the Web Grenade power (spam it on the EB/AV).
Usually Poison Trap from the Traps set can hold an EB pretty easily (you solo'ing with or without AVs on?)....that should also stop 'em from running.
Like someone already said, give your bots (at least the Assault bot and maybe 1 of the lieutenant bots) 4 small purple inspirations each. That should definitely keep them alive for a while at least.
Email yourself some inspirations if it helps.
And if you really want to lay the smack down, get some Shivans from Bloody Bay...or nukes from Warburg.

Quote:not enough pools. I need to drop a pool to get presence. The only reason I have that one ST attack is because I couldn't fit another pool in. I'm thinking about keeping repair and dropping medicine then picking up taunt. Then relying on destiny for heals.Originally Posted by slythetic
Drop repair and pick up taunt?

Here's my build. It's pretty standard I think. Soft cap positions with protector bot bubble. SS w/stealth for mine/trap shenanigans. The only thing I don't have are the dmg/acc HOs.
I respeced out of caltrops today actually. I hate the fact I need to rely on a AI gimmick to beat stuff.

My first was elec/wp brute holy crap that was gdlk.
SR or nin stalkers probably also have an easy time. -
On the last mission of SSA. Darren Wade shows up, 1 shots 4 of my pets. I got heal other as my only heal. I'm lv48 but fully IO'd except for 1 set and assault skill, but the pets just don't do enough damage with no upgrades(because I keep having to resummon) to kill him. In fact this pretty much happens on all EB/AVs, and the only way I've been beating them is if they have 0 aoe or I gimmick them with caltrops (hurr).
How do I deal with this crap?
Also acid mortar = every eb running around the map like crazy for no reason and my pets chase them.
Is bots/traps really the godly combo I'm hearing about? -
Seeing as how NCsoft owns Paragon. It's probably something Asian friendly. By that I mean animeish style, like what GW2 looks like.
-
Yeah. I probbly only have like 30~% global rec. No hasten either. I guess I should drop either fightan pool or presence pool for speed.
-
T9s should not auto crit from hide(alot of the sets already have this). This is just ridiculous have 2 superior/extreme skills auto crit in a chain

Are you sure about the bold part? Not the inferior part it is and buggy as all get out, but the defending part? Not seeing too many of those posts.
I am seeing PLENTY of four legged rig vanity pet on the market defense posts. Is that what you meant?

Pretty much this. The males sit around all day, females do the hunting. So yea, makes sense that the non-combat pet is the male, and the one that bites off faces is female.

Riiiiggghhht. Ever study anything about lions? Yeah, the males look all fearsome and their growls sound cool, but ever see them out, you know, hunting? Or do they pretty much sit at home, defend the pride's kids, and eat a lot of food? Go watch the Lion episode of the Kratt Brothers' "Be the Creature" series, where the lionesses take down a frikkin' elephant, then try to be serious about them being "pussycats."
Not to mention the various "I prefer the BM lions because it's less worse than the pet lions." ....So.... why don't you ask the company to make them so they're both good quality, instead of just taking it up the butt?
Also:
Legit complaintQuote:You two Wild Kingdom nerds realize we are talking about a Beast Mastery SUPER POWER in a fantasy game about caped crusaders, right?
Screw Marlin Perkins and realism, I want MALE lions to do my bidding. Either that or female thugs for equality since they now gave us female lions. -
This is paragon defence force at work again. Obviously when people think about lions, they think about males, with manes. The only reason we didn't get it is because it was a quick reskin to put it out of the door instead of an actual remodel.
I swear being paragon must feel like being bioware, put out a inferior product(and BM IS inferior) and let your people defend you, saves on PR costs.
Quote:This is just hilarious. By this logic the females should have overthrown Scar in the Lion King, because it's more "realistic". Of course it didn't happen because like I said, in popular media people associate lions with manes as the strong ones. By similar logic, you should replace the wolves in BM with large dogs, because dogs are more vicious.Riiiiggghhht. Ever study anything about lions?

I'm got a /traps MM and it seems it's very tight on slots. Trying to build for max defence means I can barely get any recharge afterwards. Should I go for a balance of rec + defence of just focus on one or the other?

Just give thugs a juggalo alt skin and boom.

Quote:Ok, that's probably what's wrong. I keep it on monitor but it never shows the 10% extra. It might just be because it changes to my own def % when I put it on monitorOriginally Posted by OmniNogard
This part confuse's me. I know you can view your pets Attributes but if you monitor them it resets back to yours (ether after you close the pets Attributes window OR when you check yours).
-
Is this thing borked? I'd be generous if I said it worked 1/2 the time. I have my t3 bot's AOE attributes on monitor and the thing only rarely applies the Proc bonus, and it seem to take like 10+seconds for it to register if you walk into range. Does the catalyst version fix this?

Okay, I get it... So it's ok for people to say my accomplishment isn't impressive because I used Drain Psyche, but when I turn the table and say Mastermind accomplishments are unimpressive because they use pets, people don't like that one bit do they?
