I have never tried a /dark. What is it like as a secondary and for soloing (if needed)?

Hi,

Has anyone got any opinions on which secondary I should use with a bubbler (forcefield). Currently I am trying out a ff/rad defender, but find that there are not really much hits I can do (which was to be expected).

Is there a better secondary I could use with forcefield/Bubbles?

What do you think of a bubble/rad defender?

Hi,

I am thinking of making a bubbler/rad defender and have created a build. Can you please take a look at it and advise on the build. I am aiming to run the build from level 1 to level 50, so will be starting from scratch.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am thinking of making a def, but am unsure which type to pick.

I have tried an empath before, which I liked but found it difficult to find teams in the later levels (35 onwards).

I would like a defender that can help teams, but also can solo ok if needed. I am mostly wanting to be in a team so is there any defender type that is in short supply or is always needed?

I havnt played an empath for a long time so I dont know if they are needed all the time anymore, so if the only choice is an empath I will try it.

Im up for any suggestions at all!

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Sorry one more note, I have an inv/ss tank, claw/regen scrapper, ill/kin controller, Warshade, elec/elec blaster so don't really want to make another of these types... want to try something new

Guess its time experimenting with unstoppable.. at least if it goes wrong I might be well on the way to debt badges

I have tough and weave on my build and love them both

When I run unstoppable, is it worth switching off all my toggles?

Hey everyone,

Im the current trend (well at least format for me) what would be the best slotting for Unstoppable?

My use would be for an "oh no.. the <insert appropriate word> has hit the fan!". So in my case I would use it rarely and only when im in too deep.

I currently have 1 dmgresist and will be looking to add 3 recharge redux at a later date.

Also, whats the pros & cons for using unstoppable all the time instead of normal shields?

Ta

Oh no.. now im looking forward to rage and want it ASAP!!

What have you lot done to me! lol

I have not got rage yet as I was building for team/hi defence first. My next power will be rage.

I should be getting rage in about 2 to 3 lvls (40 or 41 I think), so is it worth using the slots somewhere else and wait for rage?

Ok.. just got foot stomp and loving it! (it only has 1 slot but still loving it!).

I am aiming for (as above) acc, dmg, dmg, dmg, endredux. With it slotted at the moment (just acc) it is missing some people. Does it have a max amount that it can hit or is it worth putting a 2nd acc in to increase the chances of it hitting everyone.

I am taking on a min of oranges up to purples at the moment (if that sways your opinion in any way).

The slot I would take it off is rage, I am aiming for 3 recharge and 3 tohit buffs on rage.. is this overkill? Would 1 tohit slot be better used in foot stomp to get a much better chance of it landing?

Nice.. doesnt sound too bad then.

Still got a few levels to wait till I get it though but its nice to know before I get the power myself

I have gone for as much def as possible on my tank, so hopefully I will have enough left to cover the crash.

Does anyone know how much of -def it is? I have weave and whatever other def things I can get, so have a fairly respectable +def.

Basically is it bad enough to worry and leg it out of a huge herd or not?

EDIT: just thought.. is it -def only and not -resist? My tanker is pretty high on the resist side and good on the -def.

So how about running it in teams? I have heard some people say that it can cause problems if you are running it in a team?

Are there any tips on what to do before rage wears off to make sure that all of the aggro is still on you for the 10 secconds? (im guessing it would be do foot stomp and taunt like mad lol).

Hi,

I was wondering, what is the best slotting for weave? I am unsure if I should add a 2nd end reducer or leave it as just 1? (3 slot def buff is a given).

Herding depends on the group and their abilities, for AOE heavy groups then I would put it to the team if they want herding, but usually we only herd if there are 2 groups together.

Usually if there is a group of 5-10 I just jump in and keep the aggro, but if there are 2 groups of 5-10 close enough to cause a problem I herd both together.

I have also played when another tanker was in the team, we pretty much did the same thing until we reached a part with about 3 groups together. We decided to herd them all into one as they were too close and would easily be aggro'd by the team.

I take it as it comes.. if there's a chance of another group being aggro'd then herd, if not why bother? Usually doesnt take long to finish the group anyway.

Is the rage crash fairly noticable then? To be honest I have not really noticed it when teaming with other tankers using my alts.

Is rage useful enough that the crash is something worth living with?

New and improved.. hopefully lol

Please rip to shreds and give opinions on this one

NOTES: CJ slots are available for change, and still undecided about resist elements etc. (might swap to med pool). If CJ slots can be more useful somewhere else please slap me and say "OI.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and point me in the right direction

Ok.. ta

Since my tanker is high def (as taken everything to mitigate and resist damange) then would slotting for damage be more useful?

Does foot stomp knock down everything?

Hi,

Soon I hope to take foot stomp on my inv/ss tank, and was wondering what the best slotting I can put on it?

At the moment, I have devoted 5 slots to it (but can move this about if needed to 6 slot it). I was thinking Acc, Acc, Recharge, taunt, taunt.

What has everyone else got on this? The next power I would be getting would be rage (and should have rage 3 slotted the next level).

Thanks for the help

I have taken weave on my Invul build (link below). It's probably not the best build in the world but it works for me and seems very tough.

Linky

Im so glad I have def up the wazzoo.. probably wont make a difference tho.

I've hit 35 with my inv/ss tanker since I started this thread (been alt-ing and stuff so not leveled him much). I have found that after the initial problems with these ink men I have not been mezzed again (yet!).

You will hit a point where it will be really difficult to mez you.. I know I have

BTW.. wow this post is OOOOOOOLD! july '06! The oldies are the best lol
