After softcapping, +Rechg and some S/L resistance is nice. Build up isn't needed but I would try to get it in as the +DPE gained saves on endurance. With good rechg and good use it is probably equivalent to Stamina if we brought the game down to 2 terms: input and output.

This would be a moment where I would make a Sandman concept with a Dark/Dark tank. Change the graphic colours to earthy colours.

My Zombie Dark MM is a Witch, when she raises the dead they're not just any dead. They're former Witch Hunters. I hate witch hunters personally and have Zombies named after past real life witch hunters. It's probably more acceptable for me is she is a bit more like a rogue. Anyway she punishes them for eternity for their crimes against innocent people and their intent towards people like her.

Quote:The worst is when people get into the mindset of, "theres an emp on the team I won't die" only to run off on their own and get killed and then they wonk that you didn't heal them.
and come to the forums slating lazy empaths
One of the most popular emps on one server used to blast a lot, but got lost in their attack chain alot, as far as empathy was concerned they had the reactions of a snail and proactive buffing is something other defenders do. Yet people liked that emp, for me a blaster would of contributed more, as long as people can play around them, they don't care. -
I'll log into something not played in a while, listen out for TFs and turn up with whatever needs the badge. Go to in terms of fearlessness I'd say my Claws/SR scrapper cos I don't even have to think.

I have my reasons for not being behind Spain. I am entitled to them. I'll enjoy the game more having taken sides, besides Holland aint lost in a good long while and it will be for me, very interesting to see if their total football can out chess Spanish football which is very good. Everyone else making an issue out of my reasoning is down to them. People who wish to get personal over it with a slight even indirect dig at me will be trolling although I'll bet unintentionally. I have seen (unintentional?) prejudism and sexism, of which I am not bothered about within this thread which counters my bringing of animal rights enough.
I had basically to think, who will I support out of the two countries and an easy reason came to me why. I do not see why such a big thing is made of my reasoning.
Those people in your link are not representative of the thousands of others who are connected with PETA. I don't find every Spanish person bad neither.
Edit:Changed Sig for now. I probably haven't watched club football in 16 years or so when I stopped watching Tottenham. -
There is no absolute need for anyone above the average IQ to pimp out a Dark tanker in order to Mo with it let alone to take point as Main tanker. If I couldn't play something I would get advice. I would read websites as well as look at my build ingame. If not enough then perhaps look at guides to see if someones spotted something useful to know that I haven't yet. Then if failing all that I still wouldn't turn around and say that it couldn't tank.
Different types of tankers have different flexibilities and limitations. Strengths and weaknesses. They may require a different method of play or a different level of support.
My dark/dark brute is older than my dark/dark tanker, it is possible to build a very strong brute that tanks which even after herding manages to defeat mobs solo using the damage aura alone, the slow way which means more time within the mobs. In a way iirc, Brutes are/were better blessed with a higher magnitude fear in cloak of fear. I admit though, that, because dark armour can have near death experiences often when pushed to maximum performance that it can take a mission or two if you have altitis to get into the swing of one again. -
Quote:I don't watch Spanish football ever normally so wouldn't know who else would be on the team. Why would I as it's a country with bulls getting killed for the public's entertainment going on? There is a English Matador that the Spanish go to watch in the hopes he may get ripped apart. I'd be like that except with all the Matadors.We don't have Torres and Fabregas fully recovered from serious injuries, I'm afraid the "what if" discussions are pointless.-
If you haven't seen any football watching Spain, you either need new specs or quit alcohol. Not getting into women's knowledge about football and stuff like that, it would be too cheap.
Btw, I'll be PMing you a picture of a bullfighter fully dressed and in the middle of the "faena" to celebrate we reached the final, not that I enjoy bullfighting, but hey, you might change your mind and become fond of it
I'll delete any posts you may send but I have seen my fair share of animal cruelty and it just makes my blood boil some more.
I been sober writing here, my eyes are 20/20, you've been sexist. Come on Holland!

Quote:The European Lounge is in the For Fun section of the forums. Spain played very well, how I wanted to see England play in fact. Possession is king to me, there should be more opportunity for the team with the most possession and less opportunity for the team with less possession. A couple of the Spanish strikers just missed opportunities looking for the other man when an English player would of took the shot. I think the commentator was saying that Spain were one pass too many but at least they were good passes most of the time. I couldn't support a country what kills bulls for fun though.You're right, Spain has no Muller, but Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro, Cesc, Silva... even Low admitted the day before the match that while Argentina has Messi, Spain has Lots of Messis.
I've been reading your posts in this thread, and if the only thing you can say regarding what did you think about Spain's game, if we deserved to win or not, our players, German tactics, etc., is animals over and over again, then either you don't have a clue about what football is or you simply don't care. This thread is dedicated to FOOTBALL, and I think that's enough talking about animals, cause every single country in the world has good and bad things, and this is NOT the place to discuss them, IMHO.
PS: And of course, getting back to the matter, I can't express how delighted I am that my national team reached a WC final for the 1st time ever, I think Pedro was the key to get back to the kind of gameplay we used in the Euro Cup 2 years ago (well, maybe not Pedro himself, but the fact of playing with a midfielder like him instead of a 2nd forward).
Germany has a Muller who is a good striker but couldnt play is what I was getting at. I think it made a difference with him being off the pitch.
Go Holland, lets see some total football! -
Yeah that nuke is a pain in the bum to some, 50ft pbaoe otomh, AVs can be compelled to hit the tanker and no one else and so be put in a situation where they can only use certain attacks which are the ones that can actually hit the tanker. Pays to know all AVs and their attacks and so if needed you can damage mitigate through limiting what attacks they can use. Even just to be flexible with what team make ups you can get the job done with.
-
Yeah by taking out the towers quick, you reduce the amount of time you spend with LR virtually alone, still a win win. I've gone up possibly passed 20 mins alone with LR on a scrapper for scrappers. As much as it served as a point that controllers, defenders and tankers aren't a necessity it showed the usefulness of those 3 ATs, better with than without is the general answer I would give when talking about support ATs.
-
Every type of tank has its pluses and minuses. It's best to overcome the minuses asap and be pretty much capable of anything with any team make up. Some people cant tank the entire game with anything other than a stone with a pocket kin and there are some people who will take a Scrapper to anything let alone a Tanker.
-
What was so hard about the tree? I always like to come at it from just passed the left side, range kill some towards the front, work around the back then do the front. Clockwise from 5 mins past 9 onwards. Gratz anyway.
-
There was no Muller to muller Spain. (The old term "to get mullered" probably comes from the previous german footballer with that name I reckon). Anyway ...."Come on Holland!!"
As for poor defenseless creatures, yep there is animal cruelty in many places, such as Canada and the US of A the list goes on but to my knowledge not Holland...Come on Holland!!! -
I wouldnt touch them fear powers with any tanker as I tried them out on test and found them just bleh compared to the rest of the power pools except perhaps concealment. Dark tanks for fear maybe but other than that nah.
Clever use of the afraid in Burn is pretty good come to think of it. -
Person 1: Dark Armor Tanker
Person 2: Illusion/Empathy Controller
Person 3: Illusion/Radiation Controller
Person 4: A Kin Defender
Person 5: Storm/Dark Defender
Person 6: Radiation/Sonic Defender
Person 7: A Dark Defender
Person 8: Force Field/Dark Defender
2 illusions would of been more than enough to keep AVs occupied then there are five other defenders. I am glad to hear this wasn't the team you got the badge with as I can say that it's possible for a Dark tanker to do it without any controllers or defenders. -
You really went for S/L, you should resist energy well but be susceptible to the secondary effects that may come with that such as end drain. End drain versus your end rec - end cost during a fight duration doesn't look healthy to me but I can't get to a Mids from here to see it.
I would for this type of tank take the hold from earth as well as QS and SP, fly instead of ss, go for rechg with haste and have consume to round my tank out my tank versus all other than S/L better.
I know S/L is quite common but you can be great to that and overly weak to all else if you or somebody else is not careful. I do, do Fire/Fire and its kind of a tanker that looks at everything the same way; kill it before it kills me or control it and limit it. Often there is only one actual threat in a large group and alphas can be mitigated in so many ways so it not bad. AVs are too easily outsmarted. Burn is a good source of mitigation and I have good threat level to not lose aggro anyway, not even to PA, so fear kite with that if you have to. -
Quote:I don't know what the difference is between a main tank and your tank to make yourself a off tank. Being that your a resistant set you have to resist everything you get hit by then mitigate it after. The less time you spend taking hits the better so a herd fast kill fast playstyle is always good or a alpha them and then unleash all your damage. I haven't seen you tank but some people take ages herding (they could pass good herd points for the most obvious one), fight too many groups close together and so have a fight duration that goes beyond intended by design play. It could be that your doing mobs that do damage types that isn't your strongpoint and teams take a bit of time to take them down. I don't know, maybe you like offtanking but scrappers can do that with more damage.Obviously with elec armor there are issues with defense, the concept is an offtank with significant AoE attacks to protect the squishies and to be able to stand in for a short while if the Main Tank goes down.
I am not looking to be critical of you as I am someone who four slotted rest back in the old days XD It's just a question on why you want to play the offtank. -
It's not always a Boss rank that I would AS. It depends on the npcs abilities whether or not I would think it's worth taking out asap with AS. Normally I AS just as the Brute enters and gets aggro should I of got in ahead and found a target with abilities that can work against the team well. Sometimes I find people sharing targets with me within a fight. We can overkill the level of damage required on that target combined making it more effective to not share.
I disagree on Brutes with stragglers as I play Brutes who are in the thick of things and tank large numbers for fury as opposed taking out targets in turn and perhaps only having very few interested. Fury rises quicker taking an alpha and herding. I prefer other peoples aoe effects to hit as many as possible. I'd be herding up, doa couple of AoEs leave the team to mop up, herd next and so on. Fury is high and aggro is kept and peoples aoes do more. -
They're in many european countries outside of Germany. Take your pick. I don't put racism with Germany anymore than I would with anyother country. The world is racist.
-
One change I think is useful is if people don't share a target with a stalker unless it is of a very high rank. Hitting something that is about to be AS'd is a waste of time, whoever hits that target first has wasted the other persons time. Then also feel free to let stalkers finish up a straggler or two that are split from the main group of enemies as stalkers are pretty much single targetty anyway. I don't understand the way people play with the people playing a stalker some of the time.
-
I have 2 builds, one near enough for saving teams with friends who tend to team in pick n mix pugs and one for teams that I really don't have to worry about and is good/best for soloing.

Is there bullfighting in spain? If so read sig. Come one Germany!!

Quote:Hehehe, I love reputation. So far in this thread mine has been lowered twice. On my first post because "grats you're a lousy defender, learn to play already" and on my post where I said I was a fighter at heart "your probably a fat geek behind a screen if anything" Some people seem to rage at any challenge to their personal belief system.
Incidentally I'm the one in green. The picture comes from a Ren Faire show. It's about ten years old and my hairline has crept a bit higher but other than that I look about the same. So ya, not exactly a fat geek. Care to try again?
I got called a lazy defender for holding one fort back. It's for someone that might end up over their head. I don't know if some people will let those that need a heal bot spamming heals for a mo die or what. I don't mind installing less confidence in my empath if it means people play more tactfully. I find the defender area the area of down repping.
"However I'm a fighter at heart" is what you said, and some people stereotype people behind the computer for a joke even.
I uprepped ya.
Despite what people think or say I am still one of the most HUD intensive people I know ingame, if I am playing a Scrapper I might remind people of their work and ask for team buffs (not personal just for others) unlike those that just wade in and leave the rest to history and some emps heal aura.
