Flitz

Flitz is currently working through Tina Mac arc. He is gonna be coming up against Anti-Matter in a mission or two, so I'll be looking for help and am more than willing to help others with any of their AV problems!

Me SMASH! too SMASH! SMASH!

P.S. The Germans and Frenchies should get their own SMASH! too - just as long as the German one isn't 26 characters long!

Mememememememe! Flitz needs a good injection of xp and this sounds like just the thing to cure the 40s blues! 18:30 might be tight for me, by the time I get home from work and have some dinner so I might be a little late - just don't start without me!

I agree with Sugar Rush - I play my Brute very much like I play my scrapper. But then I might play my tanks like I play my scapper, hmmm?

My brute is a lvl 17 NRG/Fire. Main thing I've noticed is that Blazing Aura is an unbelievable end hog. It's a nice mob thinner when soloing, but you'll need to slot it with endreds and accs before dmg. With DOs slotted, I can now tackle 3 groups instead of two before having to rest. Also, you'll need the jumping pool if you want resistance to some status effects - like knockback.

Good stuff G! Keep up the good work.

Switch agile and focused senses.

Haven't played BS, but I know SR. Here is how I would have slotted a BS/SR to lvl 9.

If he took hack instead of slash, then I can why he might be having problems with slow attacks - in which case he should put a recred in hack. He should also use brawl in his attack chain until he has enough attacks to form a chain without it.

Recommendations: get parry at 10 for an extra attack but more importantly for extra def, practised brawler at 12 for status protection and then I assume he will want SJ at 14. 3-slot defences with defbufs - with SR you almost need to slot your secondaries (defences) before your attacks.

And remember a scrapper is not a tank, so if he's getting pounded in a fight he should RUN AWAY!

Hope this helps.

I read the way to build up fury is to use brawl...

[/ QUOTE ]

General, the trick is to set brawl to autofire (ctrl+click) AND still use your other attacks! Brawl just helps to build your fury quicker.

Until my end runs out and my toggles drop - not that long actually.

MA/SR for teh win! Mainly cos its the set my main uses.

And because Eagle's Claw just looks so cool.

Deluge, I didn't realise you were that old!

P.S. Human League

Do you really need ALL those acc enhancements?

Spaces: 59
Handle @Flitz
Cryo Magnon, Ice/Mace tank
PB or WS (not enough slots on Union for both! )
Spaces: 57

Don't have beanbag, but taser has a high chance to disorient. I have heard that taser and beanbag together can stun bosses, but it's just not in my concept build (PvE) for Lead.

As its a melee attack, I reserve taser for the bad dudes who make it into melee with me, hopefully stunning them while they are standing in the middle of my caltrops. Stick in one or two disorient duration enhancements and maybe an acc or endred if you've got the slots to spare.

Good stuff D. Just what I needed to ease me back into work.

Excellent stuff G. Nice evil nemesis!

I have finally decided on the names I going to use for Nanotetrix's robots, I think:

Battle Drones:
Crank Shaft
Crank Case
Crank Pot (only 2 drones so far)

Protector Bots:
Ram Rod
Ram Pant (or Ram Rom or Ram Part, only one protector for now)

Assault Bot:
Piston

Any sexual connotations and word plays are fully intentional and deliberate.

Think most of my Union alts are already in the 1AT SGs, except for the Kheldians that I don't have yet. My Ice/Mace tank, Cryo Magnon is still without an SG (was thinking of making him a PVP build, but PVP just doesn't really interest me that much). Also he isn't likely to get much screen time until Flitz hits the big 5-0. However, I'll sign him up if you'll take him.

What kind of recharge and runspeed bonuses do I get from quickness? Because I've heard that it's not worth taking.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe it's a flat 20% increase in recharge, not sure about run speed. It is well worth taking (instead of hasten) just not worth slotting as it only increases run-speed. Of course if you want to run faster then it is worth slotting.

Flitz has access to Ernesto - ran out of missions at 39 and after checking with old contacts did some lvl 30 missions in Striga that ended up with him running into Mr Hess. Lead is also working through Striga story arcs at the moment but hasn't got to Ernesto yet. My only problem would be finding a regular time to play.

I play my Robots/FF a little like a blaster - keep the mobs at range as much as possible. My low-level necro/poison is probably more like a defender - keeping his pets and team-mates alive.

Red Rag is a bit suicidal, i.e. jump into middle of biggest group with Blazing Aura on to attract all the aggro. Only prolem is that it burns End so fast that steamrollering more than a couple of groups is out of the question.

M30 grenade is a good AoE although damage is a bit low and it can attract a lot of aggro. For the rest I mostly agree with D!

3 slot stamina, get caltrops and taser, and switch on that cloaking device - I only switch it off between missions to remind myself what Lead looks like.

Doulos has more experience and has played around with his build more - I'm still working towards an autofire concept.

Don't know about DA but for MA get Cobra Strike - if they are stunned they can't hit you back.
