Gratz Fish now have some diddy donuts w00p w00p w00p

EM doesn't really come into it's own till warburg lvl with energy transfer and total focus in sirens the big must haves would be bone smasher & stun for some good mez potential

i usually slot it for 3 recharge 1 resistance

this is a few bits i have with my emp/psi use if you want or don't just a suggestion 6 slot telekinetic blast and psi tornado with kinetic crash the bonuses grant +recharge mag 8 kb protection(thats 4 each) and a 15% reduction in all mez affects on you(7.5% each) also will domination is perfect for the Fortunata Hypnosis Purple set the recipes themselves cost next to nothing when i bought them the only thing i had to shill out for was the salvage but worth it

if Kinetik is otherwise 'unavailable' i might be able to step in

if any 1 vs 1 goes down to the wire i just wait for the 2:50 on the timer and blast of unstoppable

I couldn't agree more

and what is 'average' in an MMO with diverse playstyles, power selection and slotting you either have a team that gels together and has a great time or you have one were everyone does their own thing and you end up with a sore head you can't measure people with the yard stick of common sense because some people have none

Making another attempt at it on the 8th march currently 5 signed up but chances are there will be a few spaces left for anyone else still wanting the badge

Secondarys can play a big role in how effectively you can grab aggro and/or mitigate damage several powers from the tanker secondarys have secondary effects such as knock-up, knock-down, stuns, holds or even fear effects such as burn

Like TeamSpeak. Internet hosted server for voice chat.

Something laptop users like me will find very hard to use. Would be helpful, but so long as we're slow, TS isn't essential

also: my last MoSTF was an amazing run, up until some imps aggrod LR's Bane Spiders into the squishies who were dealing with the towers. Lesson?. bind Release_pets and make use of it this TF :P

I remember Xem i couldn't save everyone in the end i was the one who ended up eating dirt

damn right i'd hate to be the emp on that team

i like foot stomp with my Invul/SS get them nice and tight then hit'em with foot stomp knocks them all to the ground giving you or your team a few seconds of respite from attack or to launch an attack or aid self

Energy Aura, Super Reflexes & Ice Armour are defence based sets - others such as stone, invul, wp etc use combinations of resistance/defence or in the case of wp includes +Regen and -foe ToHit

I can't think of my tank without it improves survivability greatly in melee combat but i have heard these words spoken before by players but as MaX pointed out understanding the game mechanics is important especially where invul is concerned a tight nit group will provide a good bonus to defence but other players probably think that invincibilty grants high defence right of the bat.

i only ever found it hard to manage aggro when rage crashed but now that isn't the case with the changes in the new patch but i'm still pushing for a increase in the taunt cap more aggro plix!

after reading the US boards i don't know if this is going to be a buff or an even bigger nerf only time will tell.

Go for it it is great. And dont leave out energy punch it is one of the best attacks in the game because it is so fast.

Energy punch i haven't had in my build since i5 best to maximise on what you have barrage isn't really worth slotting imo slotting bone smasher, whirling hands, Energy Transfer, Total Focus and stun if you decide to take it, it's pretty good for near perma-mez on a boss but it's mainly down to slots but not everyone plays the same or thinks the same when it comes to a tank look at builds, power choices, slotting find what you like/don't like adapt and change to suit you no point in being a carbon copy of someone else

Take out whirling hands?! what blasphemy is this that power has been my tanks constant companion since i4 it will never go also i already slotted it will Scirocco's dervish +regen +accuracy ftw

i would gladly do SS and EM for the tanker secondaries only issue is finding the time to do it if a get a free minute tomorrow night i'll try my best to remember to record some demos

From the way the 'must we herd' thread was going i'm not surprised this post was made and i whole heartly support it

tanks do go through some strange patterns at low levels wether it's having 2 travel powers before picking taunt having flurry and teleport than stamina or picking kick - tough when your primary shields are much better resistance/defence

this behaviour has sometimes translated into the later levels one invul i happened to see didn't take dull pain till after unstoppable my first thought was 'botched respec?' but who knows why they do such things

will try and make it if i can get home in time will be a bit of a race but my empath Protector-Bot or my tank Phobos will be up for doing the TF

The only problem i've had in PvP zones with my empath other than griefing, being 'primary' target and pestered for buffs is being asked to 1 vs 1 a stalker when i have 2 attacks and not very good ones

thanks for the update shannon will be glad to even get it started with a random pug
