Not taunting. Seriously, try it.

My 1st tank was a fire/fire tank. been there. done that.

oh, I meant letting someone ELSE hold aggro. You know, if you're a lowbie brute with no way to really survive Nosferatu and there's another brute that CAN handle him but has no taunt. That makes things really frustrating

hmm... interesting scenario.

Personally, Ive never been on a lowbie broot with no way to really survive Nosferatu when there's another brute that CAN handle him but has no taunt AT A VILLAIN HAMIDON RAID.

Not sure putting broadcast and tells complete with character names, something he did in the paper, counts as anonymous.

[/ QUOTE ]

Anonymous refers to the actual gathering, not the publication.

Shouldn't the anonymous remain anonymous in the reporting process of the experiment? If not, at what stage do the "lab rats" lose the right for name suppression.

I run it when i tank hami so that i can look big and strong and so that every1 around me knows that "HOLY $#!? BATMAN - THAT BOULDER MUST BE TANKING HAMI, DONT GO NEAR HIM!!"

As the TauntBot I dont deal any real damage, so the damage debuff doesnt worry me.

The only real argument for not being in Granite mode, is the -recharge cost that is inflicted when the character is in it. However, i normally have atleast 1 Speed Boost on me, if not more. Not to mention Accelerated Metabolism, Enforced Morale, SG Base Buffs, IO Set bonus', LoTG +7.5%recharge IOs, etc.



In reference to the Endurance Drain reason for not running Granite; seriously, does cycling through Taunt, Ranged attack, Targeted AoE and Veteran Ranged powers while in Granite mode really drain your endurance to the point where its noticeable? If the answer is yes, there is a problem with the build's enhancement slotting.

Took me some time to get used to my SS/Stone Brute sorry i had some issues regarding taunting hami.

If I can offer a suggestion:

I've noticed a trend in Stone Tanks and Brutes lately to raid in Granite form, and I have also noticed a significant increase in said Tanks and Brutes not being able to hold aggro. LJ (the Jesus one) and I noticed this the last time I lead the Scrapper team, as he and I were both pulling aggro from the Stone Tanks and summarily killing our team.

I'm not really sure what the reasoning is behind this, especially Granite + Rooted. With that much -Recharge, I am not shocked that they're not holding aggro the way they should.

So I suggest that we go back to not using Granite form at raids, and instead rely on either Rooted or Acrobatics. I think this will make a significant improvement to the speed and quality of the raids.

Ive never had a problem with aggro management with my SM/SA brute when it was taunting Hamidon. Likewise, I've never seen Toona loose aggro on his Stone Amour Brute. Both have been in Granite while taunting.

I'd suggest it may be either:

A) the player's slotting,

or...

B) the player's lack of being able to press the Taunt power button.

[cho voice] Hi Le Guilletine!! [/cho voice]

Glad to hear that you guys had fun on your hami raid.I've never made a SS/Stone Brute. I heard they are really hard to play. Not sure what it is exactly, but my god! If taunting isn't the hardest thing ever, what is?

wb solo

For some reason i feel compelled to post all of my builds in this thread.

What?

I'm Con, aren't I ?

looks like the troubles started

Iggy's only nice to Aussies and Kiwis

This is true, though it must be noted that I'm considerably less nice to Kiwi's than Aussie's.

Considering all the PvP changes, I'm starting to believe that Tiger Paw is secretly Castle.

Noobs couldn't beat the rsf when they were 54's, and that's the reason it had to be changed to 53's

Yeah... don't get me wrong, I love the idea of power customization (depending on how it's implemented anyways). However, it'd be nice to be able to try new, interesting things instead of doing the same stuff just with different colors. Who knows? Maybe we'll get both.

[/ QUOTE ]
I doubt the entire issue will just be that. I'd frankly be amazed if the issue didn't at least have some new story arcs or a new TF or something.

[/ QUOTE ]

the new issue will also have "Customer Service" proliferation.

NO [CENSORED] WAY!!!!

Well the RSF's I did with Faery along with Giggles (long time ago) went pretty well. I am just trying to stay focused that this is not an only pvp thread. In pvE they were pretty good players. But your right they do deserve to be celebrities based on how this thread is.

Oh and I forgot about Pvp master O.o

[/ QUOTE ]

Out of curiosity, what do you define as "pretty well"? I don't wanna come off sounding like ... wait a sec - I don't care what I sound like.

I remember rolling with the Misfits back when the RSF had the last encounter full of lvl54 Heroes, I remember deleting about 45 Synthetic Centrioles 'cause my base couldnt hold anymore worthles SHO's. I remember giggles bugging the Technician on the 1st mission multiple times with his stalker. I remember the Warburg bug that allowed us to get lvl 52 SHO's (we used to run the RSF about 6 times a day, every day back then), and I remember doing the RSF in 34 mins, start to finish. I'd like to think that I did RSF's "pretty well".

wow - another person living in new zealand, like the 4th one I've ever seen on this game. Welcome to City of Heroes.

As far as Supergroups:

Hero Side: Look out for "Trash Gallery" and "Defenders of the Southern Cross".

Red Side: Look out for "S.I.N.I.S.T.E.R"

I'm in Wellington and used to play way more than I should have, but due to recent Developer decisions I've significantly reduced my play times. However, If you need a hand finding people or learning the ropes: send me a Private Message on these forums or post in this thread. I'll try to keep my eyes open for ya.

if nothing else, atleast we're bumping this thread

I'm confused

I wanna stick it to "the man", but I don't want cho to get jealous.

I wonder if by discussing Mod08's moderating decisions we will indeed by violating precious forum rules....

Let me get this straight....

It's ok to call yourself a n00b, but if someone "quotes" it, it's against the forum rules 'cause it then becomes a personal attack?

Come the [censored] on Mod 08.... haven't you got better [censored] to do with your time?

my 2 cents:

Host it on an American Saturday Night so that players not in America can participate too.
Currently as it stands, if I wanted to compete, I'd have to take the day off work on Monday and be home at 11:30am to be ready..


Was this thought about?... or does PvPEC just not give a [censored] about the multinational player base that exists in this game?
