Sounds like she'd just nerf the nerf bat

It's the Vahzilok I'm not looking forward to. All that Toxic damage will cut right through my bubbles and the Reaper darts will slow our attacks more than Speed Boost can deal with. And with an 8-man team, there will be a ton of Embalmed to have fun with >_<

The mission slider won't change the TF missions because everything in a TF is set to the max level range, which means everything should be 16-17. I say should because I remember one eventful Positron task force where every single Circle of Thorns spawn had a level 25 Ruin Mage. We had rooms full of the things. Near-permanant knockdown. We were owned several times.

That bug's been fixed, though. I hope

Y'know, when I said "I think we should pull this entire room" it was actually a joke

Sorry about dropping out early like that. The flood of stampeding Igneous threw my video card for a loop and I crashed out about 10 seconds into the fight. Would have been back straight away, but I couldn't fire my PC back up until the card had cooled down.


Posi sounds pretty awesome. Hopefully we can get everyone near 14 soon.

Looks like I might be working late tonight, which means I'll be late getting home and turning up for the team. I'll try and get on as soon as I can, but don't wait around for me

Saw the RAW repeat last night, cudos to all those guys "going on with the show", as its what Eddie would have wanted!

I'm fairly sure he would have wanted to be alive.

There goes my hopes for a return of the LWO

Apparently Increased Density will soon be offering protection from teleport foe, so I'll have to squeeze that into my build somewhere if we ever go PvP. It's also about the only defender buff to offer protection to knockback.

Only downside is it has a ridiculously low duration - bad enough trying to keep up with speed boost! I gather both have half the duration of shields

Ugh, buffing as a Kinetic. It's a harsh, harsh life. Don't beat yourself up trying to keep Increase Density on the team, the extra resists aren't much next to the Sonic shields and the knockback protection can usually be ignored since with the Rad debuffs things just won't be hitting us

Try using it like you would use O2 Boost or Clear Mind. Reaction rather than prevention

Sprint and Recall Friend are for other Archetypes. We don't need them. We have Speed Boost and Inertial Reduction!

Since most of the Force Field line is a little bit [censored], I'll only be taking Dispersion Bubble for now, maybe a couple of the fun knockback powers like Repulsion Bomb later. Before playing yesterday I was very tempted to take Detention Field (a single target Phase bubble), but I honestly don't think we'll need it now. Defender teams tear through things so quickly that any mob a team would usually love to get rid of (Tsoo Sorcerers) will already be dead before the animation finishes. So most of my picks will come from the blast set.


One of the perks of being a bubblebot

Those gosh darned status effects. We'll probably need to be picking up Clear Mind, Dispersion Bubble and Clarity soon.

You shouldn't have tried to run! You should have death-ported with the rest of us! :P

It was great fun, everyone. I'm glad to be back in a Defender team after so long, my last group (Defenders Unlimited on Pinnacle) kind of dissolved when the SG leaders got bored and quit.

But no matter! I leveled from 5.6 to 8.3 in one mission - that's three dings!

And it's all thanks to the power of Net Arrow.

Bubble O Seven managed to claw his way to level 5.6 after a terribly busy weekend. He's sitting in Freedom Court next to Back Alley Brawler, ready to head out whenever the rest of you decide on a location.

Also, he took Force Bolt.

And slotted it

I know that Negative Energy is very common in the mid levels with the Circle of Thorns and Banished Pantheon summoning spirits and zombies all over the place. For Energy damage the Rikti have quite a lot with their swords and rifles, all of the Frekshow blasts are energy... it's pretty common.

Fire and Ice is rarer. I can only think of the Circle of Thorns Behemoths and Outcasts for fire, but maybe some of the Council have flamethrowers that I'm forgetting. Ice is pretty rare. Outcasts use it... umm... some of the Circle mages use it... uhh... and that's about it.

Bubble O Seven has been created and is currently sitting at level 3. I'll... uhh... level him over the weekend

Nah, I should be OK. You guys are all still 8-12, right? If so, I'll aim for 10.

Happy to make a bubbler for you all, just don't be mad at me when I take all the knockback powers

Kheldians are tough, but oh so worth it. I had so much fun with my Peacebringer back in Issue 4. Six slotting all the squid attacks for 1xACC, 5xDAM. Being able to outdamage Blasters in the early levels. Scouting ahead with Stealth, then fleeing in terror from a Troll boss with a shiny new Quantum weapon, pulling virtually the entire map to the entrance and causing a team wipe.

*sniff* Good times. Just need character transfer so I can pull my level 50 Empath over here and make some more
