You sir, deserve a cookie!

I laughed because I was redside the other day and someone was advertising for a sewer team lfm.... Everyone in the zone was like, "GTFO n00b! There are no sewers teams on redside!"

But out of curiosity, I joined to see what kind of grand mess it would be! And yes, it was an AE Mission.... but this guy created as close a duplicate to the sewers runs as I've ever seen. LARGE map, lots and lots of mobs, and they increased in size as you got further in. It was frickin weird! The compass title said "sewer team!" so check it out if you don't believe me.

That said, the only Villain I have ever had above level 10 is a result of doing VG teams on double XP weekend.

Wow.... so now you can't have a patriotically themed toon because other characters have had that theme in comic books? Seriously?

I don't see a resemblance. I think it's just the name, period. I think whoever Generic'd you just went looking for the first red white and blue blonde girl they could find and used that as an excuse for their decision.

Awwww, Steel, you win today. lol

And yes I know this was posted yesterday, but the win counts for like a week...

0.0

Our team had an awesome time! I'm still laughing at how quick Rom came down the first time. I think I got two hits in before he was gone....

I will be as well! Finished the arc and Lady Statique is now waiting and ready! I will be signing on at 10:30 because my SG and I are doing an AE static run tonight, so I may be a minute or two late switching over to red side!

I do like the idea of running into other players on your missions... I think it would spice up the normal routines of missions by giving you a new obstacle that could either be real easy, or could be super tough.

Ok, I'm working on the story arc for this tonight. I already had Ashley as a contact, just hadn't started the arc yet! If anyone else still needs this, or feels like tagging along, give me a shout either at global below or at Lady Statique.

Otherwise, see you cool cats Wednesday night!

Put me down as a maybe with Lady Statique, lvl 40 db/elec stalker. I still haven't unlocked the zone on her yet cuz I honestly wasn't sure how to do it on Villainside and I've been too lazy to look it up for her. heh

I'll try to do it sometime this weekend, and if I'm successful, I will come along for this one. I'll update on Monday if I managed to do it or not!

My first 50 was a Storm/Elec, and my second 50 was a fire/storm troller. I happen to like the storm sets. heh

I did play a storm/ice for a bit, but deleted it because I couldn't focus on that toon. But lemme tell you.... It was an absolute blast!!! I had no problems soloing on it whatsoever. The slows from ice, plus the knockback from storm meant the melee baddies never got close enough to touch me! So, I add my vote to that pool!

Otherwise, if you go troller as someone suggested to try, fire/ works really well with it, in my experience. I also have an ice/storm troller in the 20's that's doing pretty well, but a lot of people also like illusion, or earth with storm.

That was my philosophy!

So any other advice with the changes I've made so far?

Well, I focused on recovery because I have the Numina Proc already and all my main attacks have two end redux in them and my toggles all have 1, yet I still burn through endurance when I solo. Like, enough that I drop toggles on occasion. So I wanted to focus on recovery to help lessen that hassle.

Oh, crap. I forgot that was still in that build! I meant to swap that out for a regular Knockback IO. Ignore that one please!

I'm only really having problems with the exotic stuff. I also have started soloing some of the AE content(which should say enough right there!). I know some of the bonuses put me over the cap on Defense, but I was trying to get higher on the other types of defenses as well. I figured if I could get all my defenses up to a good amount, I could cover all the bases.

This is the build for my alternate build. The toon is already 50 and has standard IO's for everything and doesn't have too many problems. On a team, I have zero problems whatsoever. By myself, sometimes I come across some stuff that's a little too much on my own.

I know all of this stuff is going to cost a hell of a lot... I dropped 50 Million on a couple of the recipes already. lol But I figure, this build won't happen overnight, and money isn't a huge issue for me, so why not go a little crazy? It's only play money anyway!

As for the power choices, I really don't exempt down with this toon, like, ever. I have other tanks I play when I want to do something low level. So, I kind of just picked the powers as I came across them when making the build. The slotting on Temp Invul was to get the recovery boost, the run boost, and the defense for fire/cold, AOE, and psionic.

Taking some of the suggestions that Gashes made, my numbers look like this now(and thank you for pointing out the over use of the Psi resist! Didn't even realize it!):

Sm: 49.7
Le: 49.7
En: 38.1
Ne: 38.1
Psi: 17.4
Fire: 44.7
Cold: 44.7
Melee: 24.9
Ranged: 21.4
AoE: 22.4

So I've finally come up with a build that I think would work pretty well for my playstyle, which is very "charge in and pray you live." I'm not the greatest with builds so I've had some help from SG friends to get here. I'm finally ready to start buying pieces and actually build this out, but I wanted to come here to get some feedback. I know plenty of you have played this build, and can provide better feedback on it than my SG friends can.

My first priority was to get my defenses up enough that I could pretty much take on anything without immediate death. Secondly I focused on Endurance since I tend to run low all the time... then I focused on Recharge. As it is now, with standard IO's, I have a pretty good attack chain and no downtime with it, except for my Endurance issues on occasion.

So here is the build, I hope it doesn't look too bad off... Any thoughts?

Also, for the global list, don't they have to be offline at the time as well? I thought I heard that somewhere as well...

I am a big fan of the Invul set... It's the only tanker build I have played all the way to 50... Just starting to work on IO sets to boost defense. I have my S/L resists capped, and the rest of my resists sitting at about 30%.... very basic... low defense, like 15%.... I still don't have a problem taking agro and staying alive. I never have had that problem on my Invul.... I think the only problem the OP is having is with AE critters.

Like others said, if you want to survive the extremely exotic critters in AE, you need to get your defenses up higher. They've offered quite a bit of advice on what you can do not only to up your defenses, but also to get you way more attacks. Your attacks are a big part of being a tank. Before you try for Terra Volta, try using /respec to see if you have a free respec available. And if you've been playing for a year, I guarantee you that you should have AT LEAST one vet respec sitting around. Go see Jack in Galaxy and see if you can alter your build.

I think if you really take everyone's advice and make your build more rounded than "come on hit me, it'll tickle and I'll just watch while you do it!" you'll have a WAY better time as an Invul tank. Just my .02!

I've used both and I find that Tornado really is a situational power. It's one of those ones you use very very carefully so as to not upset your team and make matters worse. Against AV's I love it! It does some pretty decent damage, and throws around any stragglers that are tryin to wail on you while your attention is on the AV.

I also like to drop it around in AP on unsuspecting lvl 1 hellions.... hehehe

If we're too Tank heavy, I can bring along my main, Omega Elementress Fire/Storm troller, instead of Buffy. Although it would definitely be fun to have Buffy & Faith on the same team(to me anyways) I'd rather see everyone have an easier time than to be taunting the enemies to death. heh

Oooooo, this is sooooo tempting to me... Especially if I were to bring my tank, Buffy... heh

I'll come along, I'll get over the late play since it's a Friday night! :-) Bringing Slayer-Buffy, lvl 50 tank!!

Edit: Sorry, she's a SS/INV tanker.

I have had exactly one Kin... I loved it, all the way up until SB. As soon as I had that, it was like anything else I had to offer was a complete waste of time to the team. My Kin was a sapper. It was REALLY good at removing endurance from the entire mob almost immediately. No one seemed to care about that and would always cry for SB.

No one ever seemed to understand why the last mob in the mish seemed so easy to go up against, but this next one was way harder. But at least they had SB! Why bother caring what else I did for the team!

But I do understand why people value the Kin's SB. I am a big fan of it myself. However, I deleted my Kin because I got tired of only being useful for SB. It's not how I like to play. I like to "arrest" things to death.

Hey, there's already an eat donut emote, so don't count this one out just yet!

I vote for whatever makes my Tanker NOT get her resistances cut in half the moment I enter a PvP zone. As a "casual" PvP'er, I really get turned off at the idea of making my build super resistant to everything, to just have it all mean nothing. It's stupid!

But I liked you as Mod08... Why did that have to go away?
