I saw the same thing in Praetoria last night ... the bosses (Swordmasters) would make a beeline for the dom no matter who attacked it along the way ... it wasn't over aggro cap, the dom hadn't even attacked - it was like watching the Terminator going after poor Tweedle Connor, nothing could stop it. I think it was even out of normal mob perception range, the boss would cross from the far side of a spawn past everyone else. We joked about it, the dom didn't think it was too funny.

Minor snark ...
Give them to Father Xmas ... HO HO HO

Holy cow ... she's local to me ...
Don't know the player, not on that server much, but sure do wish her a speedy recovery.

My experience indicates level range is the bugaboo.

Solo or team, lvl 50 in PI, lots of working costume drops.

When SSK'd in PI, I had progress toward badges, but no costumes to be found.

Sometimes the cool name suggests the AT for me ... or vice/versa
LucyFyr ... fire/dark corr
Araknophobia ... crab spider
JazzHands ... KM/WP brute
DeathMime ... KM/SR stalker with minimized effects

oh yeah, Kal Amary, the warshade

Thanks Joe, just what I needed to know. Follow may be the problem.
And thanks to everyone else too for your help,

Bit of a noob question, but it's become a point of contention ...
In what ways can Assassin Strike be interrupted?

A SG mate of mine gets annoyed when I enter a spawn with my brute BEFORE their AS, claiming it wrecks it.
(chance for crit only, not full AS)
I contend that once the AS is started, only movement by the stalker itself or AoE damage would interrupt it, not any initial movement of the target. I also don't want them to get creamed by a partial alpha from the aggro.
Can anyone give me a good analysis of AS mechanics? What's the best way to coordinate an attack?

I like to knock rikti monkeys off rooftops in RWZ ...

and I play "pull my finger" with Recluse with the hand cursor

Yes, lots of people are having trouble logging in today.

Same issue ... even the framerate on the char selection screen got choppy starting yesterday, then DC's, and all servers all chars freeze up on char loading today.
I am MOST unhappy ...

Props to Runt9, I'm willing to PUG with anyone willing to learn and own up like that.

My worst PuG experience? A series of radio mishes with the damage dealers perpetually AFK at the door, getting lunch or just chatting ... I was carrying it, often on my own, on a defender. I got tired of the leeching, told the leader that either he kicks the dead weight or I would quit myself ... his call, but I don't feed leeches. He talked to them, got attitude back, and booted them. The subsequent tells - to me, not the leader - led to my first use of the ignore feature.

BotZ -KB in a travel power would do the job too ...

Thanks ... I was expecting the power to show up immediately, even without charges.

Title pretty much says it all ... I have earned the Physician badge and have no rez ally power available. I do have it on another char and it works OK ... any ideas?

My scrapper walks in the door, sees a big group, squeals with glee and leaps in. (I've been the only lvl 50 melee type on some teams with lowbie friends ... I AM the tank)
I play tanks kinda like I play my emp ... I take it personally if anyone dies. Jump in, taunt, punchvoke, scramble to keep the squishies alive. Someone else does the damage.
I play brutes VERY aggressively, I want ALL the aggro, I will kill ALL the enemies, y'all are just along for the ride ... take care of yourselves.

-insert babelfish in ear -

looks like a baaad translation program

I rarely join pick up groups anymore ...
sometimes friends of friends will join a group in progress.

They almost always know what to do ... only twice have I laced up the steel-toed boot and threatened to use it.

I don't ever tell them what to do, but I have told a couple what NOT to do, if I'm the leader.

Not that I'm the best player ... but I do play hard and appreciate those who do the same. I lost all the rest of a PuG ITF team at the computer ... they fought hard, but I couldn't hold all the aggro on my brute... no one complained, everyone did their best. I added a couple of global friends after that.

Haven't teamed with complete idiots since the AE farming days ... if there are idiots, it's 1 mish and out for me.

I had the same frame rate slowdown (4 frames/sec) after the patch ... setting my resolution down to "minimum" then back to the original "recommended" was the fix, after defragging/registry cleaning and plain old rebooting didn't work.

My Crab is Araknophobia ...
my warshade is Kal Amary

Thought I was going crazy too ... was checking for a level bump (plz plz) but only my Freedom roster was there.
