MrTPF

I've recently been working Cadao Kestrel, a contact in Founders Falls, hoping that he will cough up the mish which awards the Frontline accomplishment badge. He's had me on an Oranbega arc for a while now and I've finally made it to the final mission. As I am still within his lvl range, I'm hoping that once the arc is complete, he'll offer the badge mish. I hope to do this on Thursday 26th, at 19:00 UK time, depending on others that join.

If you'd like this badge then send me an in-game or post here. Nine Claws and Cunundrum get priority

I'll make it up to you - do you need Frontline?

ahaaaa, but the badge is mine! all mine! muaaahahaha!

*crouches in a dark corner, rocking to and fro, rubbing his palms together*

Yeah we did, got the badge and straight afterwards the accolade and shiny new CBX-9 Cryo pistol. Really sorry you couldn't make it Nine Claws

*Shouts above the roar of pneumatic drill*

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I'M ALMOST THERE!

There's a badge? There's a badge? *grabs a spanner* Lemme at it! Where is it!?

You should have just thrown the da_mn thing into the reactor core and kept playing!

Seriously though, no problem at all matey. Glad you're getting it seend to and hope no permamnent damage done from the leak.

Heheh, I'm still chuckling to myself now!

Here they are sitting in their play-pen*, one of them has a rattle... aaaw aren't they cute?

Awww, dwarfy done poo poo...

And finally, having a cuppa tea and slice-o cake waiting around for the next wave.




*play-pen may resemble reactor-core chamber

Great fun, really enjoyed it. Excellent time too, certainly a record for me. Gj team!

Got some hilarious screenies of the "baby dwarves in their red diapers" btw heheh.

Howd' the reserves go?

Thanks for the comeback, folks.

Well, just to be safe, the time in the UK is now almost 15.30 - so syncrhonise on that

I'll be on with my tank for the next few hours anyway, so send me an in game if you wanna team a while.

Just a reminder this is tonight to anyone else that wants in. Couple of slots remain open.

Hey. Ok, so, with the 3rd Anniversary freespecs approaching fast, I'm using up existing ones to make some small changes and, on this particular char, to save some inf switching to lvl40 SOs at the same time.

He's lvl37 earth/empathy and before you all cringe in horror....I know that's a Controller set and this is the Defender board, but my question is specific to the Empathy power Regeneration Aura.

I'm respeccing out Animated Stone (a sad yet necessary and long overdue decision) and the replacement is a toss-up between Stone Prison (good for immob on AVs and tricky Bosses etc) or Regeneration Aura. My build is very tight but also efficient and while first and foremost I am a controller I do love my empath role in large teams. I've sometimes heard that Regeneration Aura isn't so good, so my question to you oh great Defenders:

Is Regeneration Aura a worth while investment, particularly at higher lvls when healing (as I understand it) isn't always a predominant requirement, and considering any reduction in healing power on Controllers?

Thanks

Starlight is rather Dwarf heavy at the moment, hence wanting the respec, so i'll be acting as more of a secondary tank to help Block rather than a heavy damage dealer

That'll come in handy in the reactor room I'm sure. Damn skyraiders attacking on multiple fronts!

Last time I tried this respec, everybody died... which is kinda curious, becuse I have done it other times and NOBODY died even once...

Did your recent team ghost some of the early mishes by any chance?

Loving your excitement, I'm really looking forward to this one myself.

Good stuff, Tenebris.

Hope our friendly tank here has taunt and a nice punchvoke (squishy squishy floating squids... )

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, well with only one attack in my build at the moment you might say I'm focusing on aggro grabbing and control for my tank

I'll of course do my best to keep the team safe - I mislike seafood...

Afraid not, Nine Claws. THe only other char over 25 I have is Mr TPF earth/emp but he's already done the TV respec like 5 or 6 times and I'd really like this for my tankie.

Block Of ice/ice confirmed for the reactor team.

Man, good luck with that one. It takes AAAGES

[/ QUOTE ]Depends on how many doms you get MrTPF. We did it about a month ago in 2-3 hours and had 3-4 doms helping. Bloody Bay is best place to do this!

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope you get as great support this time around too then. When we did it we had one and sometimes two doms helping (not to mention some rather annoying PvPers not helping. iirc, it took around 5-6 hours, spread across a weekend. Then again, we were mostly controllers and a couple of tanks.

Good luck to the farming team.

I've just picked up The Doctor's Ally accomplishment badge mish on my main. This is a prerequisite for the Conspiracy Theorist accolade which awards the Crey CBX-9 Pistol.

I'd like to do the mish this Thursday and still have a few slots free on the team for those that need the badge. I'll be on a respec Trial starting at 18:00 so depending on how soon that finishes, I'd like to start the badge mish around 20:30 UK Time.

If you're interested, please post here with your global and lvl. I'd prefer to do this for xp, the lvl will be around 37, but depending on who arrives we can smash through if needed.

Hey Nine Claws. I've done a couple of TF's with you before. I'll likely be able to join you in this trial with my ice/ice tanker who's lvl25 I think. I may be able to bring another hero with me, I'll confirm here tomorrow.

Man, good luck with that one. It takes AAAGES

No, no - you don't get it. Just carrying on an exchange we had in-game a while back about other-peoples'-alts-who-know-who-you-are-but-you-don't-know-who-they-really-are... oh nevermind

Sorry to hear the evil list-gobbler got you too. Curses!

post has kinda grinded to a halt my fault

Here's something that might generate more discussion then, something central to the tanker's role: taunt.

How much duration do you slot in Taunt, how much do you slot in your aura, and why?

Reason I'm asking: I'm currently running a 25 ice/ice on red DOs. I'm about to freespec into SOs and I thought I'd take the opportunity to revisit my taunt duration slotting. I currently have 2 each in Taunt and Chilling Embrace, and thinking about salvaging one from each power to use elsewhere. I enjoy tanking oranges/reds and am focusing the build on control and survivability rather than damage.

I understand taunt duration scales with your own lvl and also is reduced increasing con lvls.

I'd appreciate opinions on how much taunt duration is enough or how much is too little, in particular with respect to ice.

Cheers

Cheers, Captain Alpha.
