I'll bring Dark devil, level 50 fire/axe tank.

Last time i did this (I5) the only way we could get though the walls was with 2 empaths spam healing whilst the rest of us just laid into the wall, ignoring the spawns. It worked really well, so if we could get another empath I think it would be a real asset for that bit.

I'll join if there is a space.

I haven't read the enitre thread from the link in the original post as its quite long, but has anyone put forward the idea of draining hamidon's endurance instead of holding him?

There are quite a few powers which halt endurance recovery and along with transfusion, transference and short circuit (or anything in the electric sets slotted for it) it shouldn't be that hard to do. I can't remember off hand what hami's endurance count is, but I imagine its somewhere around that of an AV's which is 800.

With no endurance there would be no rogue hami nukes or mito spawns, which appear to be the main problem.

I just thought this might be worth a try as I dont think we will need as many for this as holding requires, which helps lag too.

But isn't Wormhole good for fleeing from enemies?

It has quite a long activation plus you have to select a target and a location, its only really usefull for seperating minions from a boss or AV which will remain where they are as they are immune to it.

If you want a panic button to help you flee pick dim shift, which activates quicker or pick teleport as your travel, which i always preferred to fly.

I have a 50 with grav primary and fire epics, so speaking from this side of things I definitely wouldnt take lift, the damage is terrible, you will get better damage from slotting crush for damage also crush will engage containment for double damage (although it might be worth taking lift whilst a low level for the extra attack).

I've had wormwhole for a while and found it of limited use as it throws them out of the other end as opposed to placing them somewhere (as a tanker i hated it when other people used it). I kept it in my build but only put 2 accuracies in it as I dont use it enough to warrant any further slots on it. I prefer it to dim shift. Even if you do slot it heavily, i wouldnt put it above slotting your pet at 33, which i find is far more useful.

I have my single target hold slotted 1acc 3hld 2rchg. Along with hasten and the pet this lets me hold AVs, but if you took ice arrow this would also make it easier. I really recommend taking hasten, its so useful for holding AVs and for big fights where you want your aoe hold to turn round quick.

I found the pet is fine hitting +3 with only one accuracy and have slotted mine for 1acc 3dam 2hld, which really helps holding AVs and general group control.

I would recommend losing propel as an atack and maybe taking mental blast (not sure if you have something better available in your arrow set). Propel takes something like 5 or 6 seconds to activate and where as it looks really cool, this an absolute nightmare in a fight as you are completey vulnerable during this time and the damage is nothing special.

Hope this helps

I'm just respeccing my fire/axe tank which i haven't played since ED (grrr). I was just wondering if anyone has played a lot with Weave since ED and knows if its still worth having.

As conserve now has a recharge too long to be any use I'm taking pyre mastery and am a bit worried whether consume every 90 secs can handle the fairly heavy ensurance costs of the axe set and the fire epics (not taking burn anymore). So the extra endurance from dropping weave might be worth taking a bit more damage.

Any other pearls of wisdom on the post ED fire tank builds more than welcome .

cheers

i've been here 10 mins and no one turned up, is it still on?

I'll come along with my stone tank. I have tp, but sadly respeced out all of the [censored] pre granite shields, lets hope earth's embrace and my great big boots can handle it

Tonight is the last night of my subscription. There's been a lot of fun , a lot of anger a LOT of lagg but a lot of friends

I will miss it.

Cya later everyone.

I've made a mind/energy for blapping.

Mind Control has an AOE sleep, AOE hold, Cone Fear and AOE confuse. Lay those down and you can blast away all day. You also get 3 single target controls.

It also has the coolest control power in the game - telekenesis which is basically a toggle AOE hold, although you need a corner to push enemies into otherwise you'll be running all over the place
