with INV you go for soft capping dmg types rather than mele, rng & aoe.

Hopefully another 250 badges to add to the 125 I haven't got..... (oh for the good old days of i7 when I had all but 6 of the available badges)

TBH there is still stuff I haven't done and I'm not leaving until the proverbial lights go out, so each issue is just more stuff to choose from.

depends I guess. if you want to use temps or insp, you should be able to solo av's with a dirt cheap build. Get the +3% def steadfast with merrits, if you can get one the +3%def from the pvp set.
Then shop about for some cheap bonus's. Or spend merrits again on kinetic combats or similar and you should be good to go.

But if your softcapped, SL is just keeping you topped up. If you get mashed by an AV lucky strike it'll take a few hits to get you back to full HP, but even one application should avoid you getting two shotted.

I've got a gogli instead of the numina in mine, but otherwise the same.

Having said that some of the US guys recomend going for 90%+ dmg, acc & rechrg at the expense of heal. I would only suggest that if you are going for an ubba build and plan on doing a 3 attack chain (smite, SL, MnG). But that requires almost perma-hasten levels of recharge (my dm/sr is 121.1s recharge on hasten).

I would check the US boards.
I'll see if I can fine one for you.

But the general problem is that it's very difficult to get a good smooth flowing attack chain with decent DPS on a BS toon.

from what I've read you wont notice 10% defence against anything, let alone AVs.

It might be worth looking at slotting a few sets that give +max end. As recovery functions as a % of total, increasing the total gives a good boost.

If you have enough +recharge, some slow rez and well slotted psi res, you could try going after Malaise or Mother Mayhem. But with a fire/da I would be going and vast numbers of minion-boss types.

I don't plan on going near this until May atleast. Unless a SG person asks me to try their arc, even then I'll ask before hand if it has story etc.

By then there should be some decent content bobing about. Hoepfully some stuff on the forums by people I respect/trust saying "try this it's well done"

I also have 2 arcs I want to create my self but I want to do them well and indepth. Anticipation and all that.

Also on the farming thing, I like to farm now and then so if it proves worth while farming MA created missions I might switch to doing that. But I wont be standing round AP giving with the "lff plx will pay inf plx" crowd. If it wasn't likely to bring the nerf bat, I would suggest people create missions with a prefix of Farm- or similar for dedicated farm missions so those who don't want to waste their time looking at farms dont have to.

I would say that BK has a better chance with Justa.

from experience I would say that /DA really is not a good choice for fighting AVs.

From bumbling round RWZ etc, I can take a lvl 54 rikti suit whenit's an EB, but even lvl 50 AVs pump out far too much damage for my DM/DA to take.

You might and it's a slight might be able to get close to the soft cap on a /DA but then you'll be gimping and under slotting your main powers.

Ahmen to that....

Oh Dagar 562 btw.

Don't GM's regen something like 350HP/s.
I know ice is not too bad off for single target dmg....

Any ways, doesn't a 50% regen debuff reduce their regen by 25% so you'll still be needing 270+dps. I'd say 300 to make sure it doesn't take all week.

Monday evening is fine by me. I'll log on about 2145 on Monday.

I do plan on doing evenings next week. I just fancied getting started.

I assume progress will be slow if it's just me and my 2nd account?

I was thinking of setting my laptop to the side on saturday morning and just letting it go on there all day.

But then I will need a refresher of exactly what to do, glad selections etc.

Well as a whole bunch of us just got the 400rep badge I think we'll be dusting in off next week.

I might even run a day time one.

Parry with no slots for damage at all *shudder*

I my mind Broad sword is all about HACK, the defence from parry is a by product of HACK.

Any way thats just my 10c

Are you interested in sets? I'm sure you can get a fair number of set recipies you can use in the build cheeper than that standard IO ones.

Happy cake day.

Hmmm haven't llok at my /DA slotting in many a month.

What are you after? I've gone for +max end & +max recovery, with +HP & +regen as the secondary effects I'm after.

I would deffo recommend Impervium armor, the 4 which enhance res be slotted in each of the 3 (4 if you take touugh) damage rez powers. They give +2.5% recovery, +2.25% max end. I usually then add an end redux IO in a 5th slot. Fianlly I give dark embrace a steadfast KB rez IO. The other option I went for on my BS/DA is to only 3 slot the 3 rez toggles with the Ribosme HO's thus freeing up a couple of slots per toggle.

Neither of the above is cheap. It cost me a lot to get 4 sets of 4 impervium armors.

For set bonus's on the mele powers I like mix and matching. 4 makos for set bonus with maybe a tripple from crushing impact thrown in. or 5 crushing impacts for bonus's with a HO or mako tripple thrown in.

Let me fire up mids and see what I can do. I'd aim to make a fire/DA an aoe minion crusher for big teams.

I can sit in front of most AVs on my DM/DA but have to spend a lot of time healing which takes a lot of DPS out of the chain.

My DM/SR was fine for bobcat & shdaow hunter even though not fully build yet.

Going from the us boards my DM/SD should be even better.

My scrapper disliking SG mate has made a Fire/SD scrapper and got to 50 in a couple of weeks playing. Now it's pve pimped he rates it as one of the most enjoyable toons hes has.

This is one of the reason's I'm leader of two SGs.

One is reasonable active an coalitioned up alot. I have filled it many times over with base salavage when going for the 10k badge and don't car if people fill their boots. After all I used 5,000 items of base salvage people had added in the passed 4 years to make the stuff.

The second is just my farmer and all my other alts. It has a large plot and is stuff full of the good [censored]. It's coalitioned to the other SG so I can use the TPs, but other than my crafting badge hunter and my farming toon, no one has permission to take from the base.

I think it gives the ebst of both worlds. Security for my loot, but when my base is full I just dump stuff in the active SG storage for people to help them selves.

3 other people in the coalition do the same thing and it seems to work for us.

Anyways, grats on your achievement, now move on to some of the "harder" AVs

[/ QUOTE ]

2 at the same time or a pylon maybe.

Gratz on the AVs.

No matter what people say, soloing AVs is the big time for mele types. You can take AVs all day long on your Ill/Rad or your Rad/sonic, but using a mele toon requrires that little bit of extra planning etc.

Theres a big thing on the US boards and the basica conclusion is you can solo AVs on just about any scrapper combo with enough INF, patience and planning.

So gratz again and check out the us scrapper bords for some kat/rgn AV advice.
