I was amazed when I got Johnny Granite for my stone tanker. That was a happy day:0)

Tis true. I have noticed a marked drop in purps. Very frustrating. I wonder what the deal is

This is a lame rant. However the question is an interesting one. Pvp prior to ai13 although unbalanced was fun. Now it is okay but not nearly as fun. Really the only reason I still play coh is because of the pvp. But since i13 and all the nerfs thereafter (remember widows being gods of pvp until their defense got nerfed) have made pvp almost comical. My main pvper has gone from decent to a complete stud back to decent just due to i13 and the post i13 nerfs. The way the devs ignored the pre 13 pvp community was tragic. So I think, like most of my pvp freinds that i13 killed pvp. Widows got hammered by post pvp nerfs and were basically made irrelevant, at least in SC where I pvp the most. That should not have happened. My own little rant. Maybe lame too:0) not sure if I feel any better though:0(

Good guide Magma. Thank you very much!

Wow, looking around for advice on my stone tank and dusted off this guide. its been a while since I leveled up my fire kins but once you hit 20 go to Siren's call and run the mishes there. hopefully nobody will be bothering you. on a lot of servers SC is dead now anyway. the mishes there are fast and give good xp and easy to do and I think they give an xp bonus as I recall. just be careful of the widows. they can be really nasty and make you blind. carry around a few accuracy buffs. not sure if they are in SC or in Warburg, which is were I went after SC. I think I took flurry to give myself a little extra damage then respected out of it. Air superiority is also a nice attack that does knock down and decent damage. Flurry is kinda weaksauce but helpful somewhat. Sands of mu cant be slotted so it is pretty hit or miss but I used it a lot at the lower levels. Also, getting some sort of stealth power and doing radio mishes where you defeat the boss at the end or get the item at the end. you can do these fast and just stealth to the end and kill the boss and then get out and do it again. then, when you get the bank mish, just skip it, or do it if you want. I found this the fastest way to level short of pling, etc.

Hey, thanks you guys so much. I will get the badge and be off to the accolade races:O) Nericus, your flashback fu is impressive

I am trying to get the soul taker badge on my lvl 50 stalker via flashback mish in ouroboros. When I try to take the mish on the Offer Soul of Akarist arc I cannot pick up the mish. The normal blue area to pick up the mish is absent. Does anyone know what is going on? A million thanks!

I can make it tonight. Any spots left? Would a fire/therm troller be of use? I have a cool blaster and an grav/emp troller too. Would be happy to run any of them. Thanks Kyo!

xactly. I have filled a report with the devs and am in the process of pingplotting to see what that reveals. My ISP, surewest, says they are not the problem, which I believe because COH is the only online program I have a problem with. And many people are noting the same thing. I hope it gets figured out soon. I can't pvp with my favorite toon because of it, sucky.

yeah, that is how I discovered it. Run /netgraph 0 to turn off netgraph

lol, everything. Called ISP, they said not from them, not their problem. Plugged my computer directly into the cable outlet, still with lag. Changed channels on wifi, still with lag. Looked around forums, apparently a lot of people having same problem on some servers, seems to be the east coast servers, for about a month now. Very frustrating

what server is that on?

Getting tons of lag on Freedom server. From what I have heard it is a problem on the East Coast servers. Have no problem on Protector. Is anything being done about this?

Impressive guide Star, and special kudos to Funkywaltdogg and Unicycle for their input. Very well done
