Going to start adding 'pickups' for this if Monkey, Vel_Overload or Agent_Kendt don't show up in 15 mins or so!

[/ QUOTE ] Neither rain nor shine was going to keep me away from the mermaid parade. However my friend calling me with an emergency will. I didnt have time to log in and tell you that I wasnt going to make it sorry.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a problem at all

Btw, did you get 2 /tells from me Saturday? I sent the first one and I didn't get the typical 'response' of "this user is not online." So I double-checked typing and sent another one and same thing (no "away" message)...sorry for the double /tell if so

We totally failed because your presence wasn't there



Maybe next time....

If you fail at the MoSTF but end up completing, do you still get the Statesman badge or do you get nothing because you set it for Master of?

[/ QUOTE ]

You get every other badge that you'd usually get but just wouldn't get the "Master of" badge.

Yeah the last time I did a MoSTF run, we failed with the GW/Sci pull....I wasn't the leader but should have tried to get the team sync'd up more than I did....ah well

Around 1-2pm EST it seems. Most likely 2pm EST.

<QR>

Okay, so who is able to bring what (or what char do you want to bring for the badge)?

I'll have my main (Energizing Ion, lvl 50 Kin/Rad Defender).

Okay from the responses I have received so far it is looking to be a no go for the 2 am on Saturday (at least not this Sat.)....sorry Luminara (If you want to run one, let me know and I can stay up/take a quick nap and do one another time).

I haven't received a concise time for when we can do it this Saturday but...maybe around noon or 2 pm (EST)? Any objections to either (maybe not noon at the dot...but after lunch...say 1/1:30pm EST?)?

Hehe okay.

Congratulations Pohsyb! p(^_^)q

As others have said already, I'd like to see customization in a few ways...

1.) Hue color changes
2.) Animation changes
3.) Emanation point changes

As far as graphics go...I haven't been able to play on High settings (on a medium/large sized team after a period of time) since whatever Issue had mayhem missions in them...after that issue I've been playing on low graphic settings :/

TBH I don't think this game needs a huge overhaul for graphics...when I do switch back to High (and not even everything is on high/very high) it looks beautiful...

What I think/would "love" to see happen is to have more maps/map textures in this game....it's sad when you enter a mission and are like, "okay follow me, I know this map and the boss is here." Lots of new maps/map textures as well as the ability to customize maps/textures somehow in the MA would be great!

You mean to say I could have gotten that costume by clicking random! I spent hours on my Samurai Robo Puncher!






[/ QUOTE ]

Hey I like that look! (maybe change the colors a bit but...)

I like hitting the Random button...get some neat combos sometimes (like the one you have there)

I was like you in some ways OP. When I made my Elec/Elec brute I didn't get Stamina and thought that Conserve Power and Power Sink were enough (and with the possibility of the +end from the elec attacks).

Well I was able to lvl until 35 with no stamina...it was a long haul but once I got Power Sink it was a whole lot easier/faster to go through missions. Now I did take Aid Self and not Tough/Weave (having 2 more toggles draining my endurance without Stamina didn't feel right :P).

I will say that unless you purple out your elec/elec...uh, yeah you'll want to have Aid Self. Elec Armor is really weak against....well...almost everything from my experience. Well to be honest, it's only weak to the mobs that do smashing and/or lethal damage.... 5th Column/Council werewolves tore me up as well as quite a few other mobs/mob groups.

Now any group that did energy damage....ha! those are awesome to fight (like mayhem missions with all PPD)...energy damage is laughable so I wish there were more PPD missions throughout the game... :P

Eventually I did respec and give him Stamina...it's so much nicer with Stamina.

Good luck to you in whatever way you choose though!

<QR>

Okay so Luminara, should we shoot for a 2am MoSTF or do you know/not know if you'll be able to do it with us this coming up Saturday (the 20th)?

I may or not may not make it tonight...relatives are over and my nephew and his friend have their little air mattress int he same room that my PC is in...so...we'll see how late they'll be staying up tonight :/

Ice is definitely the lowest damage tanker secondary.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's so utterly wrong, I don't even know where to start. Yes I do. Look at Stars' tables for AoE output. Ice is near the top.

If you'd said Ice Melee is the lowest ST damage tanker secondary, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you, but who plays tanks to hit 1 thing at a time?

To the OP (hey other Ion! ), take, slot & love Frost. Seriously, FA is a gimme, but Frost is the other power that makes Ice Melee a great AoE set. Ppl who complain about IM are the ppl who take & slot up Ice Sword & GIS and notice they suck. Also, Frozen Touch is your best ST attack. Just ignore the fact that it holds and slot it like any other damage attack (or use Peroxes for both).

Look me up on SHF (hint as to who to look for above ) and I'll show you how my Stone/Ice does against huge crowds. Just yesterday, I was outdamaging a poorly built (no Frost, no FA) Fire/Ice w/Burn working in an MA farm--I only joined to see if my Stone/Ice could outdamage him, even in Granite. I did.

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe okay. So Freezing Touch does more damage than Greater Ice Sword?

So...once I get enough momentum in my brain to pay for 5 more character slots, I'll be making this WP/Ice tanker...

Just didn't want to pay for char slots....but waiting another year for 1 just won't cut it methinks

Cool, thanks for the tips/thoughts

[ QUOTE ]
Ice Melee's single target damage is pretty abysmal, but the AoE damage between Frost and Frozen Aura is solid. Not Fiery melee good, but well above stone, energy, or dark. The mitigation against anything vulnerable to knockdown is great.

You could go without Stamina, but if you take Tough and Weave you'll probably want it. If you solo you may want stamina, since it takes a heck of a lot of attacks to finish a boss.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I think I will go with the Fitness line...forgot that Health would be a nice boost with/for WP.

[ QUOTE ]

The tier 9, frozen aura, is well worth taking now. Same animation and damage as Foot Stomp, smaller radius and a sleep side effect instead of knockdown. Call of the sandman chance for self-heal is fun, useful, and cheap for this power.


[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, nice call...have to remember this

[ QUOTE ]

Freezing Touch is a must-have power. You can even ignore the fact that it's a hold, it's one of the absolute best damage per activation powers that tanks get in any set.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I was planning on getting FT no matter what....now it seems like I'll be getting all 9 powers from both primary and secondary


3rd and final (hopefully ) edit: Never mind about the hasten question...I forgot about RedTomax's site. And according to his list, the highest recharge power is Build Up at 90s (no surprise there at its time)....so I think I'll have a good attack chain without worrying about hasten...which is good

I may have to role a will/ice because you've intrigued me on this build.

[/ QUOTE ]

Muwhahaha, my work is complete!

Okay I think I will do a WP/Ice tanker then...won't do one for a while though...(all slots on Liberty are taken...going to buy more...maybe.... >_&gt.

Thanks again for all the input

I really want to wait for new powersets (primarily for a new primary powerset) but...I don't think it will happen any time soon (unless Demon Summoning or Dual Pistols will be an armor primary ).

So I like 'odd' combinations and always liked the look(s) of Ice Melee and Stone Melee (like both but leaning towards Ice Melee).

As far as Willpower goes, I'd be getting all of the 9 powers (hey I like the self-rez powers...never have to worry about needing an awaken! ). Stone Melee I think I'd be getting all 9, but Ice Melee...I was thinking about skipping the frost breath power (forgot name of it) but after reading a few posts/guides people like the power. I never cared for any of the breath cone powers (fire or cold) always seemed to do very little dmg (even on a Blaster).

I know Ice Melee isn't the best in the damage category but is the tier 9 power worth getting now that it has been buffed a bit?

Another reason why I was leaning towards Ice Melee was because I figured it wasn't a huge end. hog like Stone Melee is and therefore might be able to skip on the Stamina line and just make QR my "stamina". Would this work or do you think even if I did go with Ice Melee, I'd want Stamina?

One last question before I go....would Tough/Weave be worth getting? Keep in mind I don't IO up my toons usually (just common IOs)....

Thanks for the tips in advance

As others have suggested I will as well.

A Scrapper (or Tanker) of any powersets + a Kinetics Defender is a great combo; mainly because of the melee aoe heal that Kinetics gets. This can be taken to the red side as well with a Brute + */Kin Corruptor.

That is the best thing about this game is that no combo really, really stinks...you have to try REALLY hard to get 2 toons that don't have a good synergy.

But the basics still apply: get 1 'support' toon (controller, defender blue side or dominator, corruptor red side) and 1 'damage/meat shield' toon (tanker, scrapper blue side or brute stalker red side).

Heck even 2 tankers could do it...you might move/defeat mobs slowly but..you could do it; as well as 2 stalkers...2 stalkers would probably work better than 2 tankers since (depending on the difficulty level you play on/with) the stalkers can usually 1 shot a minion/lt once they get Assassin's Strike.

Good luck to you and have fun!
