1 steadfast grants KB protection mag 4, same as the one from Karma (defense). It is pretty much agreed mag 12 should be enough for 99% of foes in PvE, hence either 3 steadfast or 3 Karma or a combination (in fact you might get away with just 2). For PvP I am not sure, but I think it is 4 at least.-

Well, I managed to squeeze Fitness although that means I'll pass on Leadership (maybe Maneuvers instead of Acrobatics if I manage to get shiny unique KB prot enhcs). I am also skipping Thunderous Blast hence I'll be able to put Choking Cloud. Fallout could be considered at lvl 47 - 49 for STF which I think we should try with an all defender team, at least for a few laughs.-

Mmmm, you guys gave me a lot to think about since both choking cloud and fallout were out of my build, but hey, I'm still lvl 5 and things can be amended. This toon is meant for an all defender team, but I'll keep in mind soloing / other AT teaming options just in case.

Thx

Not familiarised enough with MA, on the DA side, I'd personally put another endrdx on toggles. Air Superiority and Jump Kick, I usually leave them with an Accuracy enhancement on the base slot, but that's with Focused Accuracy, I guess without Focused Accuracy or Tactics, 2 Acc in both Air Superiority and Jump Kick would be enough. For sure their recharge time is short enough to waste a rchg enhc in any of them, plus they are very low on end, besides I am not sure their dmg is worth enhancing.-

Well, we have 2 toon above lvl, hence I guess they'll have to be either exemped before starting TF or the two lvl 25 to be sidekicked. I'd rather secure the success of the TF (and the recipe) so please everyone set reputations to Heroic.
Also, as per previous post, Trade Mark Saphi is tight on time, so please let's try not to be late. A late start and rushing over the TF to get that time back is one of the most common TF failure reasons.

See you all at 6:00 PM in Striga.-

If I recall correctly, someone was taking recall friend and invisibility, hence Cavern of Trascendence would take less than 10 minutes.

Oh well, was too good to be true, I guess the synergy will be at least decent with rad/elec then.

I'm not for Isolator badge, my Rad/Elec is already lvl 4 and will catch a few more lvls tonight since it is far easier to lvl up than the TA/A. I'll be definitely going for Fitness Pool (as per your own advice), probably that will delay my Leadership until really high lvls (probably 47 - 49) but hey, as we were told last night, not sure we should go for Leadership since everyone will vote for himself

Heya,
I just rolled a Rad/Elec defender. Basically, I wanted to know a couple of things, first, if this combo has a good or at least decent synergy and second, if I read correctly, some of the endurance drained from elec attacks is added to my own endurance, hence I'd like to know if this will be enough to skip Stamina (no sets considered) or if I will stil need Stamina.-

Thanks.-

KK, update so far:

1.- Nightmarer - lvl 28 dark/dark defender
2.- Nicky - lvl ? - ?/? Blaster (SSN or Cool Nicky)
3.- Cerulean - Cerulean Warrior lvl 30 Inv/SS Tank or British Burner lvl ? Fire/Fire Blaster
4.- Kinblast lvl 25 kin/rad defender
5.- Tectonica lvl 25 stone tank
6.- Myrage, lvl 28 Mind/Emp Controller
7.- Defcon 2.0, lvl 34 PB
8.- Trade Mark Striker, lvl 45 Kat/regen scrapper

Reserves:

1.- Lady Leprechaun, lvl 35 Ill/Storm or lvl 31 Dark/Dark Scrapper
2.- Nine Claws - Unknown toon, unknown lvl, wait a sec, who's that guy?

I'd rather do this with a full team, I guess will be a matter of seeing who shows up and who doesn't.

OK, already done, my new toon is Radiant Volt (yes I know, the name sucks). I changed my mind in the last second and rolled a rad/elec, I squeezed 45 min at lunchtime and managed to get him to lvl 4. As we have plenty of time until Wednesday, I'll ake it easy and will level him aiming to Spelunker mish, so we can all get the badge and also work towards Atta for faster lvling.

Cool, not sure what time I will able to log tonight since I have a bunch of thinngs to do, I'd say I can log around 18:30 BST, anyway, I'll send you a tell when I am logged.-

Well, it was fun storming the Hollows, too bad it was getting late for some of us. I still don't know why the heck did I roll a TA/A, that is the most boring toon ever.
I'll probably roll a rad/sonic and will recruit a couple of friends to get me to lvl 11 - 12 if possible with the spelunker mish on my pocket.

See you all on Wednesday.-

Hopefully we can do this in less than 3 hrs, I have the guide for the TF from nofuture.org, but anyone who has the TF fresh in the memory will be probably more helpful than any guide.

Ok, let me put an update, since the ones that didn't confirm attendance have not done so yet, i'm updating based on newest posts:

Well, that's not what you said before:

I think they learned you can't scrap your way through the STF without buffs...

That seemed kinda personal to me.

If you consider that personal (I dont see names mentioned in this post) then Id say it was warranted.

As you were not there, then you'd probably don't have any idea what are you talking about

Tbh, I learnt something, which is not pointing fingers at others. Of course it can be done with a Fire Tank and no Empath, it could have been done if everyone and by everyone I mean everyone would have followed the agreed tactics instead of going freely in the way "I had a better plan than this one".

[/ QUOTE ]

We followed the "agreed tactics". The tanker was endurance drained and two-shotted.
Chaos ensued immediately afterwards, and the team didn't recover until they were fully wiped.

There is a difference between pointing the finger at someone because you're looking for someone to blame, and highlighting a specific problem that needs to be addressed before your team's tactics will work. Personally I enjoy PUG teams, but since the team members don't know each other there's a much smaller margin for error with them. Sometimes they just don't co-ordinate that well. IMO this is what happened last night.

That's the first time in 8 PUG STF runs that I've failed to beat Recluse, and IMO it was avoidable. I had several paragraphs of explanation typed out, but I'm not going to say any more here in case it sparks an argument.

Better luck next time folks, and 'grats to Anger for hitting 50!

Mmm, looks good, indeed. Coolest thing about sets is that by sacrificing a travel power on an SR you can take it past the 45% soft cap in defense. In my new DM/SR I'm going for the combo Hurdle-Sprint-Combat Jumping as travel power.
The only thing I see is that, with all the +rchg you have by sets, to choose Hasten just for the sake of Soul Drain and Dark Consumption may be a luxury, on my scrapper I'm slotting both with 2 Nucleolus / 3 rchg and the power option you are using for Hasten I'll do with Touch of Fear with 3 Lysosome Exposures on it. I'm also thinking of using Conserve Power instead of Dark Consumption, but not sure yet, might try it on a respec.

Congratulations mate, I am sorry we couldn't close it kicking Lord Recluses's butt, but we can sort that out anytime you wish.

Tbh, seeming as we have reserves, I'm not sure it is such a good idea to let people down and having someone that won't be able to finish it, unfortunately I can't make it before 6:00 pm as I said and I don't know if the TF is repeteable upon failing it.
The people that so far have clearly signed for the TF are:

1.- Nightmarer - lvl 28 dark/dark defender
2.- Nicky - lvl ? - ?/? Blaster (SSN or Cool Nicky)
3.- Cerulean - Cerulean Warrior lvl 30 Inv/SS Tank or British Burner lvl ? Fire/Fire Blaster
4.- Throx, lvl 50 DM/DA scrapper or lvl 25 kin defender
5.- Fireflayer, lvl 50 fire/ice blaster or lvl 25 stone tank
6.- Myrage, lvl 28 Mind/Emp Controller
7.-
8.-

Hydra 101 said "might be interested" hence I'd be more comfortable with a confirmation, TsumijuZero should also confirm now that the time and date have been posted, also I'd like to have confirmation from Dustified once he checks time and date and I'd honestly like to have an assurance from your side upon completion, as I said, it is never a good idea to start a TF not having enough time scheduled for its completion.

Trying to be fair to everyone here.

Ok, the TF is scheduled for this Friday June the 29th at 6 pm BST. Everyone be ready for 3 - 5 hours TF being 3 hrs the best case and 5 hrs the worst case. Unfortunately, I personally can't log before 6:00 pm BST Saphi because I leave the office at 5:30 and I barely have time to make it on time at 6, sorry about that
For jbWarsmith, yes, it will be on Friday evening, please let us know if you want in, the TF lvl is 25-30 and by all means, please play with the toon you prefer to play my friend.
As I just realized the time and date wasn't displayed in the thread title and some people may adjust or not, I will update the list later on when people have had time to check the scheduled time and date

And Nightmarer if you want i can help you to get your toon lvl 9 tonight. I already need to make 2 other toon to complete V6.)

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't remember how long it takes since I did this TF ages ago, as a precautionary measure I'd say 4 hrs, although if we get along well as a team may take much less than that.-

Plz count me in with Nightmarer, lvl 50 DM/SR and myopic goalkeeper.-

Cya tonight
