Knightslayer

Heya folks, i'm thinking of slotting this and the other resist/def special IO's into my Tier 1 pets (Battle Drones) - that way i can slot my stronger Bots with good sets.
Sound thinking or bad idea?

Ohhh, legion of evil squids...!
Time to roll me up a warshade so i'll have a character to switch with when GR comes along!

Heya folks, anyone know if this is any good on an MM? Does it affect your minions? (i'm guessing if the second one's a no then the first one will be as well, except maybe for Poison MM's and others that need to hit )

Ohhh, cool idea!

Ohhh, Karnal Sin! One of the names i came across of when i was originally considering my switch to Virtue (but never actually met AFAIK)
Considering i play mostly redside i'll give you a hand too if i'm around later!

Congratulations Nadya!
And so the legacy continues...

I'm afraid to say there is no real other public place to hang out and RP at except the D.
Most RP happens in SG/VGs, either inside their base or when they are out teaming (most of the time without outsiders).
So the classic advice... find a good RP S/VG.

I love it! Can I steal it?

Sure. I imagine she got it from somewhere.

It makes a good picture too.

280 Merits well spent

This is the second time I've horded Reward Merits on this character, the first time I spent them...was really disappointing, this time...I'm just grinning like a fool

Daaaaamn dude!
Congratulations!!!

Two additional notes:

I'm not sure of what kind of defense debuff resistance Granite has (probably a lot), but you likely don't need to build much more than 45% defense for each typed position (the softcap), given the way that to hit rolls work in the game.

The Steadfast res/+def IO is worth a lot to you, as it adds 3% defense to *every* type. Stone Skin is probably a good place to slot it.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yep, one of the first things i slotted

These pages are really handy for planning out a build, Knightslayer. Set bonuses for typed defences are all paired up now, so Smashing Defence and Lethal Defence go hand in hand, as do Energy-Negative and Fire-Cold.

Kinetic Combat and Aegis cover your bases for S/L and F/C very well. Energy/Neg is a bit trickier as already pointed out.

And this may be of interest too:

Thanks Mike, yeah i love Paragonwiki
Yeah, i've been looking into Kinetic Combat - but a lot of them are going for a ton of money, with a lot of bids and zero for sale... sooo... silver rolls it is!
I'm gonna have to respec at some point to replace some partial Obliteration sets with Eradication too >.>

You might even get away with some +spd so you don't have tto rely on SB to run around on teams

[/ QUOTE ]
Hah yeah, i got a few of them - not really focusing on them though

[ QUOTE ]
90%+ of attacks have both a positional and a typed qualifier which indicates what they go up against, fireball is an example which is fire and AoE. Note that even though it does some smashing damage, smashing defence doesn't help. You use whichever is better of your fire and AoE defence against it.


[/ QUOTE ]
*nods* I got that part, hence the highest bonus counting comment (*coughs* which i should've called highest defense not highest bonus >.&gt.
Thanks for all the advice and clearing some things up you guys!
I never put much thought into some power sets being positional or type based - definitely good to know!

[ QUOTE ]
Nope you don't. I have a Shield Tank and I think I may have spent 150 Mill to get her to the 50% Melee 50% ranged 48% AoE mark.

I didn't count, but I have no purples at all. A few Touch of Deaths and an Oblit for Melee, a Mako and Red Fortunes for Ranged, and a few Sciroco's Dervish for AoE.

[/ QUOTE ]
Cool, i take it yours didn't start out at 0 though right?
Does Shield have some powers that give bonuses to AoE, Ranged and Melee?
Or am i really missing something here with the monitor stats thing?
Since going from 0 to 50-ish with only set looks pretty impossible to me >.>

To pull one at a time and make sure no others come the only reliable way I've found is you need a perma dom to sleep them all then pull 1 by 1.

[/ QUOTE ]
Or just someone who's really good with snipe pulling.

Of course, on many MoRSF teams you'll already be buffed to the gills so having an additional hero or two running into the mix isn't as big a deal as it could be.

[/ QUOTE ]
LOL true, btw what's the reward for completing a MoRSF again?
And it's a LRSF without dying right?

up to 2 hrs. most don't take that long though.

I will add a note about this. I am not taking anything away from his intention. I am sure we all appreciate his help. But server maintenance 'up to 2 hours' is not a hard and fast rule. The task is done to standard and not to time. Maintenance may take as long as it needs. Servers have been down for more than 2 hours before. There is no guarantee that it will take 'up to two hours'. Please be sure that when it's done, the servers will be up. I am just saying this so some of you do not end up calling or sending support tkts when you see the servers down for more than 2 hours, if you see them, on a maintenance day.

Like today you mean >.<

Yikes, thanks!

It does lead to that inevitable question, can a male toon ever win a costume contest?

[/ QUOTE ]
Held one in Mercy island a few weeks ago (near Kalinda) with a few VG mates.
Two of our winners were male (We had a draw on 3rd place, one male and one female lol).
I've been in CC's myself where the winners were almost all male - so it does happen
(((Depends a lot on the age of the judges would be my guess >.> ))

ROFL.... I agree.... I was not aware that the new going [u]rouge[u] was out yet.... I would have liked to see that pug...lol

Laugh, my little red clown. Laugh!

Hey, "Rouge" and "rouges" have always been popular in MMOs! That expansion makes a lot of sense to me!
On a more serious note, does anyone have good tips for pulling only one of them at a time?
So far only one team i've been on has managed this successfully (the pulling only one that is, not the SF) >.>

Heya folks,

So here's my problem... i'm wondering whether it's worth slotting sets for set defense bonuses (like Obliteration) or not on characters with a lot of defense powers of their own.
For example on my Stone Armor Brute all of his defenses are pretty high, EXCEPT for the AoE, Ranged and Melee defenses - which are 0 without the set bonuses.
Since someone said only the highest bonus counts, is it worth slotting for these or not?
Or am i missing something here? >.>
Many thanks in advance!

It went real smooth at first indeed!
And yep, then Grandville came along... half the people got locked out and the rest got slaughtered >.>
I am SO blaming Recluse for this!

I'm heading out to a late lunch / early dinner and will bring back noms. If you are in central Texas now, please head to my house in 1 hour!!! We have iced tea.

PS. You're so cute, KS!

*grins* T'is true!
And i'd never have made it on time for the ice tea and noms! *eyes GMT +1 timezone* >.>
