Oh no, we'll only be way better than we were in i9 when we did just fine, instead of ridiculously better, assuming we actually spent the billions on botz sets!

Does anyone know the name of the second server, just out out of curiosity. IIRC, the first one is Shibboleth.

So are all these posts about cross-server teaming legitimate, or spurious? It would have been great if we were told what to test. Since we weren't, I guess speculation is all we are left with.

As the devs have said, Scrappers are about as likely to get Pistol Melee as Blasters are to get Katana Blast and Controllers are to get Broadsword Control.
QUICKLY! To the Blaster forums!! -
@Seldom,
This will go perfectly with clown summoning! -
Wp/ss!

Dark is synonymous with neg damage in this game though. Each elemental armor caps against like element damage, except for Dark. I always thought that was kinda... weird. Hell, even Ice, which is a primarily defensive set, caps to cold damage, you know, even though it's not called Cold Damage Armor or anything.

Quote:Then I would merely point out that nothing in the game is designed to be unbeatable by players without IO sets. Though an average DA tank may not be able to take 2-3 large groups completely unsupported, I know a lot of other tanker sets in the same boat. Besides, that's not really the designed role of "tank." We're getting pretty firmly into "farm" territory there.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
No I'm not telling you you have to play up a DA tank. My point is, the video better points out the strengths of the defense cap, augmented by DA powers than the strengths of DA's abilities.
If you read anything else into this statement, the ideas are wholly yours.
As for end use, that's the primary reason I'd pair it with DM. Granted you might go insane first, but Consume most certainly helps. Also, you might want to turn off CoF, at least once you get OG. It's better to have both on yeah, but CoF is high end. You also might want to get your own indentured serv... uh, kinetics defender. That'll take care of it right there >:] -
Yeah can't do //stone until they have pool customization. Tooooooo ugly.

That's the whole fun of speculation: it's speculative!

TL/DR; -- Can a Resistance set perform well enough without using inventions to push up its defenses?

Quote:You're telling me I have to play up a DA tank just to prove that you don't need IO sets to be effective? Ugh! Seriously dark regen alone can carry DA.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Try the same on a common IO, Hami-O, or cheaply non-set frankenslotted build and then tell me about the strengths of DA.

And I didn't see dark armor I saw orange armor. No one as far as I know ever doubted orange armor.

Okay I figured out what went wrong when I downloaded your version of the file. For some reason my file got saved as a .txt file with the filename "inspcombine.mnu", as opposed to a .mnu file named "inspcombine". I fixed that and now it works. Thanks for the help.
P.S. I would never be so silly as to use Vista.

Quote:Indeed it's easy to argue that DA is the best at lowest levels. Heck with 1 accuracy and 4 recharge TOs (what you could get in there before 12,) it's on a 22.5 second cooldown. Bump that up to 2 acc and 4 recharge DOs and it's every 18 seconds. With three 50 IOs healing flames doesn't get that fast, or potentially as good of a heal.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Honestly? I think Dark Armor is one of the best low level tanks. Sure, at that level you tank endurance more than enemies, but DA has its "godmode" power at level 8.
I would still pair DA with DM, but more for dark consumption than anything. Then again, I'd pair anything with DM for dark consumption!

Quote:Depending on what you mean by lower levels, isn't everything? I find most start doing well at 22, some need their t8 or t9 power as well :/Originally Posted by theduke24
its hard to tank with it at lower levels.

Huh, live and learn. I thought virtue was under guardian :/

Note that Karma and Steadfast -Knb IOs can be obtained with (relatively cheap) Bronze ticket rolls from AE missions. I've gotten quite a few that way; it's a good option if you find them pricey or hard to find on the market

How about instead you get... my cat.

Same thing with spoons yeah.

So if I make a new toon on triumph, what should I make? Maybe OLD MAN-MAN with the powers of alzheimers and painkillers? Rumored to be in some way related to 50's crimestopper MAN-MAN?
