Hmm, I have an Ice/Energy tank sitting at level 12, and I have no SG.

She was going to be my "not so squishy" PvP toon.

If its possable to join, I'm interested in this.

**Edit**
And that makes 1000 posts, yay, I guess.

Defensive powers won't do anything unfortunately, due to the damage being untyped.

In the hopes of giving people something to mull over, here's my summary of what was tried last night:
1. The PA droppers spread out evenly over the jelly and dropped PA. The decoys tended to appear in the same place each time they were dropped and ended up clustered together in 2 large clumps and a few smaller ones. The Tank team tried to get into position after a while and died quickly as the PA weren't taking aggro.

2. The PA teams then added empaths/kins/darks and tried a ground insertion. This wasn't a well co-ordinated attempt so only half went in. Those that went in died pretty quickly.

3. The PA teams (with added healers/buffers) group flew over Hami and dropped PA to try and grab some aggro. The group flyers then turned off group fly and dropped the PA droppers plus healers/buffers into the jelly in the hope of forming a healing turtle. Within about 30 to 45 seconds we were all dead.

Those were the tactics used. If anyone wants to add more detail to what we did so we can figure out how improvements can be made then add them here.

That made me giggle so much because its all true!

Do you know the distance when bodyguard stops functioning then? Afaik the henchman auto-tp is about 200 yards.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bodygaurd stops working once your henchs stop getting Supremacy, so thats 60 ft.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't think I managed to land a hit on Katie-Ann,

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh you did, about 4-5 times with Focus or Shockwave.

[ QUOTE ]
Afaik you don't. (henches tp to you if you get too far, remember). I was tp foed by a /dev blaster during test server event and I lived thru it couple of times.
Unfortunately I dont have high lvl MM now, so I cant test.

[/ QUOTE ]

They only auto TP to you if you get them a set distance away from the MM.

You don't have to TP them far, just so that they don't get Bodygaurd and your henchs don't auto TP to them. I'm sure any scrapper/tanker/blapper could kill an MM in the time it takes their hences to run to them.

Helps if you TP them so that when the henchs do come running, they will have things in there way.

[ QUOTE ]
I rate tactics on a scrapper [censored], any stalker worth the time has stealth anyways so it won't help you too much.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless they are SR or DA scrappers.

[ QUOTE ]
Two words. Bodyguard mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

Providing someone doesn't TP Foe you away from your Henchs, as you in to be near them for Bodyguard mode to work.

[ QUOTE ]
I know the tactic is to just pin as many as you can into a corner and then use Freezing Rain, but this means that each group I face I have to be careful where I'm putting them. Is there no other viable melee tactic with Hurricane?

[/ QUOTE ]

Kind of, use Snow Storm and Freezing Rain and then run around them just brushing them with your Hurricane so they stay in the AoEs.

On the other hand you could get in a corner and use WormHole to put them in the corner, instead of pushing them into it.

Shame you took it out for now

[ QUOTE ]
As a controller though things like red totems and other bosses will always be a problem damage wise until epics.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not quite that late, but after you get and slot Tornado, add Freezing rain and an Immob to stop the KB and it takes down res quite fast.

Ok so Jack did add a bit of damage to speed things up.

And Mind certainly isn't gimped, what ever it may be with as a secondary.

Although Trick Arrow would add so much more control, which is bad for a controller.


For who you are fighting, that is.

[ QUOTE ]
This may be hard with the AV at the end of it and there new uber regen capablities

[/ QUOTE ]

He went down quite fast.

For those looking to organise our match, you can get in touch with me through @Archelon, but I havent been on too much recently. Leave me an offline message through the tell system and i'll come whenever you want our match to take place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here, unless everyone can make the match on thursday?

I was unable to make the last one, but I shall try and be there this time, even if the face of exams the following day.

Don't forget Rage, which is far batter than Build Up.

This looks interesting, 2 out of the 3 people in my opposing team are on 1 life, and if Hammerfall is correct in the 3rd round results thread, the whole team is on one life.

Things could get ugly when you fight for your life, so to speak.

Hmm, not sure about my draw.

I'm pretty confident we can pick up the kills but the main question is if we can pick up more than the other team. I know what a pain Max is with his bloody stalker. Been pretty lucky with the maps so far but a small enclosed one could really ruin this for my team.

Definitely a lot more 'must see' matches in this round though and good to see Far-Seer get the bye as i've teamed with him twice so far

[/ QUOTE ]

To the tune of Vindaloo (Fat Les):

WERE GONNA KILL 1 MORE THAN YOU, TEAM 1!!!

Yeah like the look of this potential match - hopefully wont need any subs as so far had to be even more adaptive in my fights due to having to face 1/2 subs for my matchs. Game on .

[/ QUOTE ]

TBH, I think we'll win by 1 kill. I can see some muppet stalker taking a last minute kill thanks to build up and bitter ice blast from a certain ice/ice corruptor

[/ QUOTE ]

as long as you dont forget you cant 1shot enemies anymore now with i7

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless you use an attack that is more damaging than the targets HP and does DoT aswell, such as a fire snipe.



But what Blaster can do that these days?

[ QUOTE ]
The thing with Electric Armor is that its a Resistance set, unlike Energy Armor or for instance, Super Reflex for scrapper wich are Defense based.

Is it bad? Yes and no. Electric Armor doesn't have a Self Heal, wich is not that bad because anyone can pick up Aid Self. Problem is, the armor is Resistance Based thus you'll get hit and often. Whereas its not so much of a problem to not have a Self Heal (Dull Pain, Healing Flames ect) if your armor set is Defense based because you get Hit less.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually being hit is a good thing for Brutes, it helps build your fury up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually its based on if they try to hit you, not if they actually hit you.

With energy they can try and hit you and fail, thus genrating Fury and not losing HP, but with electricity they can try and hit you, and probably will, thus generating Fury but at the same time losing HP as you are only lessing the blow not avoiding it out right.

[ QUOTE ]
Went and bit the bullet anyway. Only wee change was getting Freezing Rain at 16 instead of 22 in case I ever end up doing an early TF or Bloody Bay.

[/ QUOTE ]


But you get sk/exemped to 25 for Bloody bay so even if you did get Freezing Rain at level 22, you would still have it in the zone.

Since I joined up late and never got round to adding myself, best I do it now

As far as Xanthus and Morgan go, im sure i've heard people asking for their babies...

[/ QUOTE ]

Kidnap them or give birth to them?

[ QUOTE ]
what AT is the corruptor? With the right tactics ( which is what this event focusses on ) you stand a very good chance. Just need to play the *pick on the defender* game...

[/ QUOTE ]

Ermm, a Corruptor?

[ QUOTE ]
is it to late to sign up?

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinda, but if you turn up on the day you'll probably get asked to take part since I've already had a couple of PMs from people telling me that they can't do it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll be there to watch

[ QUOTE ]
Flares - Sucks big time. Can be useful early on to get an attack chain going but the damage on it is so feeble you won't use it to any worthwhile effect past lvl 20.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, I took it to get an attack chain going, with stacked Siphion Speed and Hasten, Fire Blast will be up most of the time past level 20. I'm respecing it out once I get a respec.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

I think claws/spines is the way to go as it will have most blasters crying because they can't kite you from midair and they just can't get in melee range to hit you with BU+Aim+TF or another such combo.
I got alot of blasters this way


[/ QUOTE ]

Although I preferred ASing, I could kill squishies from safe distance by peppering them with focus too

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, BU + Focus and I'd do a running jump over the squishies, mostly the bubblers.

You must at least try Hurrcane out on Test when you get to that level. It really is a very good power if you learn how to use it, the -acc is really nice, and its like another AoE hold if you can get them in a corner like I've done many times to Freakshows.
