    I can only touch on the subject tangentially, plus blaming the team may not be it, sometimes the help required can come from oneself simply by knowing who to put out of action at the start of a fight.

    Much of the game, possibly inclusive of the MA content is biased towards the more popular sets. If the more popular sets didn't make the content easy then they wouldn't be popular. I look at different sets as offering differing levels of a challenge. One is either up to completing the challenge or not. The challenge must be about finding and playing to ones own strengths and not the strengths of some other type of tank.
  3. New Dawn
    I think (think?) strengths can come from knowing your enemies, choices of dynamics available and teamwork. The Devs know that tanks aren't supposed to sit there and take it all on invincible for an 8 man team. With what I said in mind Icetanks are good enough. Atleast I seen enough getting to 50 on a single debt badge and some of them were probably from being afk.

    You went and made a Inv/Dark Tank then come here for advice on a Inv/FM build?

    I just playing. I have had invuln for years, my first 50 and have tried every epic, all the sensible and not so sensible power pools. Bad news is, is that you can't have everything, the good news is that I can't see you going horribly wrong with powers from what you've looked at so far. It's all going to come down to the slotting.

    2200 HP seems low on an Icetank, thats near to what a basic hp Icetank has when Hoarfrost is down I'd imagine. I think the argument may of started from someone thinking that its a figure quoted as when hoarfrost is up.

    I dont know what setting it was, but my SR went thru the ITF undefeated, inclusive of solo spiking Cysts in one of them missions. Builds are what you make of them and play them.

    Edit: It wouldn't matter to me what Tank I play doing any of the content.

    Gauntlet 2.0

    A good change in gauntlet would be to increase its area effect on the lower end cost powers.

    This thread has infact been good for me to look at not the opinions of homosexuals but at bullying and types of, which I am against. I am not saying anyone has been as slight errors in wording or reading can lead to conversations being misinterpreted. The problem is that this forum itself may have a tool for bullying within it imo and of which I have reported.

    Freedom and its numbers is probably why some people would like server merges. Its nice to log in and almost instantly be teaming doing what you would normally be waiting for on any other server.

    Sounds like a good albeit masochistic idea to do with pistols.

YOU bought up the subject of Pride in the first place, so therefore you started the whole real life bit in the first place, though to be honest, quite why you are even posting here as the whole thread is about stuff that is happening in real and gaming life, is beyond me.

    If you have nothing constructive to say, then maybe you should do what you suggested previously.

    Bye Girlfriend
    The very post the OP made is about bringing RL into the game of which I am like "why bother?" not so much the forums and the subject isn't keeping me in this thread so much as you are.

    On topic, there is no need for a separate group based on sexuality in a game.
    There is no need for real life issues to be discussed or flaunted in a game.

    The next time someone tries chatting me up I will tell them what sad individuals they must be and to **** off.

    Everyone should be looked upon as just another player really.

    Ice tank?

    I don't think that Tough and Weave is a necessity for any type of tanker. Without even being picky about what powersets are available in a team for support I can fully expect someones *tank in a seriously good team to do anything and master it. You may have whole teams of players that would tell you different but I seriously doubt they know as much as they think they do. Look at it as a challenge, you may come to know what your doing but find you may not get the staff in terms of support. I'd say having fight pool makes the game easier for team mates who need run in and mash keys with everything or need to shoot fish in a barrel if anything. I have fight pool on a second build because people frustrate me. I'd much rather see basic builds made to be effective through dynamics but by being that way I would probably frustrate people.
  13. New Dawn
    I see tankers as doing more than just smashing things, they are there to dictate the battle field. They can best redirect all the enemies damage and debuffs, crunch the numbers of enemies in for the teams debuffs and damage, all to raise the teams efficiency and go as far as telling AVs what attacks they can and can not use. Some tanks I have known, didn't enjoy tanking and sucked at it till 40+, then they found out how much of a benefit to a team they can be and loved it.

    It can be tons of fun and you don't see too many toons playing sapper. I use Short Circuit and Power Sink then start firing off my blasts, when I don't have my nuke up. It can be dangerous though, because I can't completely drain a group with just one shot, I need both SC and PS and that can give the enemy a chance to hit HARD.

    Still, it is good clean fun.
    Have you tried Lightning Field for keeping the npcs recovery down? End Target -2% with each tick.

    Blasters are designed to be flexible. They have powers which in conjunction with powers from team mates such as buffs or IOs can play the roles of other ATs should it be needed. Hell I know one who plays Tank. It'll never be as good as one but it can do.

    What are you going to be about? Single Target Damage? AoE Damage? Are you herding and nuking? Is it conceptual? The Phoenix concept is the most doable one. Some people maybe in teams and it just so happens that the -10 fly in hotfeet rounds off the teams capabilities.

    I don't think powers suck, they just have a time and a place, you need to select the ones you see a use in and prioritize out of them what you see yourself getting the most of. As I level up I add to what I feel I could do with.

    All in all, what's skippable could be only for you to know unless your interested in making something that's no different from most any other Fire/Fire out there.

    I wasn't serious, I just wondered if the thread could derail anymore...

    I liked ya Cold guide but am not word for word okay with Frostwork, the word never translated to only at times would suit me better.

    I think that Darkest Night is the very first defining power. Yes it may not have great -tohit to start with but other people who have defenses could stack with it. This will mean less healing and a more end efficient build. I took it right after Twilight Grasp at lvl 2 but really, in a good team it's better than that.

    Your build is looking rather similar to mine except without the slots. I put 2 Mids Windows next to eachother, one of mine and one of yours, clicked left to right and thought "Hax!!!"

    I am not done leveling and so I am not finished deciding but this is my Work In Progress:

    The kicking part could of been for giving the leader beef rather than using force bubble and so his ego maybe big too, lets not forget that!

    The very fact that scrappers do more dam per end means they need to attack less. Attacking less means that the endurance bar isn't getting low as quick. This means that they are end recovering from a point at which they have more endurance. Controllers do worse base damage but don't need to run or are not often seen running toggles which has an effect on their recovery. Defenders do worse base damage but if running toggles could be increasing the effectiveness of attacks.

    In the lower levels of tanking I am still herding accumulating at least 10 around me. AoEs get used in that case and stacked AoEs on 10 enemies save on endurance because the dam per end versus group is very high. To be efficient as a Tank one could invite AoE toons to the team, keep them safe by tanking like a lvl 50! Well atleast steamrolling Frostfire for a lvl 6 Icetank ain't too much of a problem in a good team.

    AoE dam per end on ST is poor, times that by 10 though and its great, in case of hit 10 aoes, theyre 2.5 times as effective as STs. Herd off the bat!

    If I wanted to tank Ghost Widow for a team of blappers as my Stonetank, and its doable I would have no substitute for a well slotted taunt, partly because it'll need duration and range, but mostly because its autohit but anyway...

    I played with it for a bit. I could of put purples in and what not, I kept the same power picks for the most part, I have no idea of intentions and done this at speed really. Earth Mastery for AVs is for me the best epic but you want Pyre, so we will go with Pyre which is good for general teaming but more so on a Firetank.

    The next door neighbour I used to have grew up gay, when he came out, no one cared and everyone said that they already knew. Anyway I think if you segregate you become part of the problem. I would hate to see an all white SG and I am white btw but I love people from wherever.

    You are using it out of its context. Twisting words. If I said "I climbed a tree and helped a cat down". I can't trust you not to turn it into me climbing a tree to help a bird down.

    For more to be at the herdpoint than the aggro cap someone else other than the tanker would of had to of attracted some of their own or for two examples pets are spawned or ambushers come.

    Edit: But if he doesn't know what aggro cap is and initially tried to attract more then upon losing aggro at herdpoint from lack of consolidation time then the congaline happens.
