Irish Fury

After hearing all the negative comments about DP, I decided to start up an all DP super team to see how it would fair. I made a DP/kin, hit the ground running and never looked back. It was easily the most fun I've ever had leveling a toon. We met once a week and picked a TF to run. We completed every TF in the game short of STF and LRSF, and that is only because the team disbanded before we got a chance to take a shot at them. We completed Kahn in 23 minutes, and Cuda with just a team of four DPers.

My point isn't that DP is amazing, just that even with a supposedly "weak" set, even the toughest challenges in the game are doable.

Now that my DP/kin is lvl 50, he solos +2x8 mobs very comfortably and has become my favorite toon to play when I am in the mood for causing absolute mayhem.

The few 50s that I have were all leveled to 50 through large teaming on TFs, mission arcs, etc. I hear so many people who talk about loving the option to solo to level 50, so I want to give it a shot. I have a character currently at around level 26 who has soloed to that point, and I want to take him to 50. What I am looking for are recommendations from other players on arcs they enjoyed, specifically for the story, although I can stomach a weak story if the missions are especially fun. So far the journey has been

Old Atlas Content to level 5
Hollows to level 15 ish
Faultline to 20ish
Keith Nance, Jenny Adair, and Roy Cooling to 25.
First Ward (still working on this) to present (26).

So what are your Greatest Hits when it comes to story arcs? I am specifically wanting stuff in the 30-50 range, but I am happy to flashback via ouro to catch anything worthy that I missed in the 1-30 range. In your reply, please include level range, contact name, and briefly explain what it is you liked about the arc.

Thanks!

That's a fine lookin' Turtle Ninja. My global is @guardian irish-fury. Feel free to gfriend me and shoot me a tell anytime you see me online and I can get you an invite.

For a while, I ran an all DP static team on Freedom once a week. It's amazing what a team full of pistoleros can handle. We did Dr Khan in about 25 minutes, and Cuda with a team of only 4. The only TFs we didnt do were STF, LRSF, Apex, and Tin Mage. The only reason we didnt do those is because the team broke apart due to RL before we got to take a shot at them. Im hoping to get the old band back together at some point...

Team Turtle is an all turtle theme SG that just started up on Exalted. Check out the link in my sig for details. It's one shell of a group!

I didn't slot RttC for any -to hit on my WP tank. I pushed healing to ED cap, and then slotted some taunt. With the weakness of the taunt aura, I wanted to get any help I could, and it has made a considerable difference in my ability to hold aggro.

I'm pretty sure you can attain that pose by doing a costume change using the salute costume change emote while hovering, however, I could be mistaken.

Not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but I was thinking about getting the band back together to take a crack at Apex/Tin Mage. Those, and the STF and LRSF are four TFs that we never got around to doing, that I would love to add to our list of awesome acomplishments. So, is anyone available for an all Dual Pistols Apex on Tuesday, Sept 27th around 7 central time? If not then, what is a good day/time? Friday and Saturday nights are usually good for me too. Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays are out.

I would say a stone, WP, or invuln tank. Everything is going to be weak to something, but WP is the only tanker set I've been able to get to 50. The layered mitigation built in to the set gives me a good chance at surviving anything the game can throw my way, and I am virtually unkillable 80% of the time.

Freedom is my home server, and I enjoy playing there. Atlas Park is indeed packed full of farmers who clog up broadcast with their farm advertisements, however, walk outside of Atlas and there are a ton of people who enjoy playing content missions. For the people who say they can't form a team on Freedom that isn't a farm, I call malarkey, because I do it everyday and sometimes have to turn people away.

I think it was Bill who said earlier in the thread that Atlas broadcast is the "Smog of the Freedom server", which is a great analogy. When you live in a big city, you have to deal with the downside in order to take advantage of the many benefits. Fortunately Freedom's downside is pretty much limited to a single zone.

Freedom is a fine server full of fine people.

Hope that helps.

Standing in Pocket D now....am I too late?

I definitely want to see an original story. Wrath of Kahn is and forever will be the pinnacle of Star Trek. It needs to be left alone.

Wow....those are.....amazing.
