...I may pay too much attention to detail, but the text box makes me question the authenticity of these screenshots...
Why do they all say the same thing? Except in a couple of them, there are a few slightl differences that have no consistencies with others that have similar differences.... Maybe I'm just thinking too hard... *Leave it to me to notice something that small :P*

I think you're thinking too hard. The chat boxes for the first series of screenshots on Silver Mantis, for example, all have the same broadcast probably because he picked up some broadcast before he entered the mission, after which no new chat entered the box because there was none to be had.

Besides, it's not like noone has done the same Archvillains before. It's not rocket science to kill an AV with a properly-made MM (and I don't mean IOs, just powers).

I jsut dont think he could pull off his stunts anymore with the poison trap change.

And I respectfully disagree. He was a seasoned veteran, and here I am after the change as a newbie to the MM scene and the AV-soloing scene and I'm pulling it off (two more today so far, Sigil and Kadabra Kill at a slightly higher level) post-nerf. I have no Veteran attacks yet, while he had a number of them.

I don't think most of the targets he has listed would pose much of a problem for him now. Not that there's much chance we will find out anytime soon, as mentioned already.

Oh.


Too bad... this thread was kinda fun.

And my own moment of glory: Soloing two new (i12) Heroes I knew nothing about beforehand.

Me:
Inara Verdi, level 23 Bots/Traps Mastermind

The Mission:
Take out two Midnighters (first mission, Darrin Wade arc)

The Heroes:

Level 25: Sigil <Generic Heroes> (behaves like an energy/energy blaster)
Level 25: Kadabra Kill <Generic Heroes> (behaves like a grav/kin controller)


Got em before Ultimus could (to my knowledge). Sigil was easy, Kadabra was a [RAWR] and killed me twice before I figured him out. Kadabra must've been annoyed that I killed his wife, I guess.

I'll think about screenshots later, right now is time for sleep.

Level 22 Robo/Traps MM, 2 days ago, Silver Mantis (Cage arc, AV version). Side note: My first AV soloed.

Easy win, just a bit drawn out. Her area-spines and caltrops plus my idiotic non-use of Triage Beacon meant I had to resummon 3 t1 and 3 t2 pets during the fight. The -regen on poison trap was the critical component, not the puking (which I never saw her do).

I ate two small end inspirations but wouldn't have had to if I hadn't gotten too excited and overspammed web grenade in the early stages of the fight.

I believe that Ultimus wouldn't even have to look at the screen to beat this one, and probably a number of others. Poison Trap's puking was far from the only tool at his disposal before, and you'll have to recall that /dark makes just as good an AV killer with no access of any kind to a puke-inducer.

Edit:

After some thought, I think the messy execution may be due to not waiting til 24, when I would've gotten a second protector bot. This hypothesis would well explain the fact that my single, relatively defenseless (no protbot bubble, noone to repair) protector bot died 3 times during the fight.
