Going by your example, I would have to agree you have either exceeded your agro cap... Or, and I think most likely, it is the Cloak of Fear. It makes for some great mitigation, but I don't think it's really the greatest at holding the threat. Often, feared mobs will counterattack whoever hit them and return to retreat/cower status, but if the fear duration happens to end there, you may have an agro containment issue.
My advice, drop Cloak of Fear as a standard toggle, and use it more for situational cases. Use Death Shroud for your taunt aura, calling on CoF and Opressive Gloom when the situations are right. That alone may up your performance. It's not failed my Dark/Dark yet. -
Quote:As compared to primaries such as fire,grav,illusion etc... Mind control isn't quite as solo friendly, especially when you consider the Xp drain from using confuse for either mitigation or for a pseudo pet. That is what I would mean in that statement.Quote:

If you are set on playing Storm, I would suggest trying a Mind/Storm. I know you wanted to be proficient solo, and that isn't really Mind's strong suit, but man can you get away with some strange things for entertainment value. My favorite Mind trick is to Confuse a nasty Lt and Telekinesis him about the map, using Levitate to help throw him over small walls. At the very least, it could be interesting.

Thugs: Iggy, Billy
Arsonist: Joel
Enforcers: Cooper, Ramone
Bruiser: H.R.
Much like Wendy, mine were musically themed from related styles... save one for comedic effect. The inspiration for my villainy was...
Iggy (Pop), Billy (Idol), (Billy) Joel, (Alice) Cooper, (Joey) Ramone, and lastly H(enry) R(ollins)
petsayname Joel <em dance2> I didn't start the fire....$$petsayname Joel Though I did IGNITE it, but I tried to fight it.
I never really understood that song, lyrically or logistically. -
Sorry for not being more specific, Finduilas. I was occupying a slot in the same Manti TF, as Revja the 48 DA/DM.
I must pat ourselves on the back, however. I knew we would be durable. I was a little suprized by our overall speed. Hands down, that goes down as the best TF I've run in a long time.
Already looking forward to February, just gotta decide who to bring to the dance next time. -
I'd like to say thanks as well. This has been the first Tanker Tuesday event I've ever
1) Had enough time to attend, or
2) Had enough presence of mind to attend to begin with.
I'll be trying to join more TT's in the future. The friendly banter and laidback manner was outstanding, even for a 2 hour timed TF. -
Quote:I wouldn't call it a must, but I did consider that possibility. On the more cost effective side of the End issues you could slot 3 parts of Theft of Essence, at your own discression, to receive a maximum End boost for Dark Regeneration, Siphon Life, and even Soul Transfer. Not to mention several other max End and End recovery boosts in some mighty useful sets that can later be boosted by the Portal Jockey and The Atlas Medallion to quite easily push your End pool over 120.Originally Posted by Jharber
Hello. I am playing Dark Armor and yes, with every power being a toggle it eats my end, but it is not really that bad. I am L18 and I have a miracle in heal now and at 20 I will get stamina and at 21 I will put in a chance for + end in that also. When I get to L27 I have a Numina recovery to also put in heal. With all this is PP still needed?
I also must say though that after playing Dark it is the most fun armor set I have ever played and I think it is highly downplayed only because of the end cost? Just imho.
Maybe it's not as direct a plan, but it's been effective for me. -
Just curious, maybe a high up can help out here... Whatever happend to the plans of making new powers for some of the heroes? I'm glad that sonics and archery came down the pipes, but shields for tanks and spears for scrappers were proposed way back around Issue 1 or 2. So, surely you've made some progress on those designs almost 7 issues later... right?
