well if it is he absolutely sucks at tanking ...

[/ QUOTE ]


Aren't I lucky he isn't anywhere near that

[ QUOTE ]
That's the same build as what Hot Chills has atm isn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Only in your dreams, kiddo.. he's the same build as he always was, when he showed you how it's done and you talked to me about his build and how to change yours so long ago... he only get slotting changed in accordance to Issue Updates. I don't gimp my builds, old friend, and he was around long before you own Fire/Ice

It has to be at least playable, to some extent.. even a gimped build is playable, AND no matter how gimped a build can be.. the builder still has COMMON SENSE.

[ QUOTE ]
Stone/Ice tanker imo, like a walking nuke those things

[/ QUOTE ]

Well it's noted... if you wanna put up a build idea.. to be considered.. feel free

*goes to anyone else replying, as it'll be done on Union.

LOL cool title.

Cya around bud

I know we teamed a couple or so times before now, but was always fun.

Hey all.

The wife-to-be has set me a challenge, as she's tired of no matter what toon I play/make myself, it's too "overpowering" and she never gets a kill in edge-ways once I get into the "groove".

So she has set a challenge, I have to create and play to 50 a most GIMPED to HECK build imaginable.
But she knows me, and no matter what she can gimp, I can play, manage and level.

So I've put the challenge out to the others I know that know builds/gameplay as well as I do.



So.. the challenge::
===============

Level:: 1-50 (over time) no Respec used..

Build:: That's for people to think you and build/plan, and she will approve one of them (complete with slotting if you wish) and I will proceed to play it and complete it..

AT/Powerset:: Doesn't matter what..

Also note, it has to have, within this build:
(as per her orders to add here)

<ul type="square"> [*] Flurry[*] Whirlwind[*] Stealth[*] NO IOs used at all[/list]

So.. get thinking guys and gals...

Myself and my Imps, as well as Angel's Imps are ready.. willing and able.

Time to drive 'em back! ONE MORE TIME

can you have elude on perma? been trying to get a build that does but since 1 of the issues i can't get it

[/ QUOTE ]

simply put... "no" I don't believe you can have Elude on perma, unless you have outside help with.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
you dont really need a self heal power on a SR scrapper.

[/ QUOTE ]

(Unless you are plan to play on heroic from lv1-50) you soooooo do!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I did from 1-50 and didn't have a self heal. Nor did I have Divine Avalanche, and I never had very many problems, and I wasn't on heroic very much at all. Hardly even touched it.

so no.. you soooooo don't!!!!

It's a matter of choice

cya, old friend.

Have fun in ur next "adventure".

[ QUOTE ]

The Defiant die-a-lot method is the method that worked, and in fact there was very little death. After all, we were the only server who got organized and stepped up to the plate to try and figure out how to beat Hamidon in the first place. We only died a lot because it was the FIRST new hami-raid in the EU. A lot of you (you especially Raz) will have been there for the first oldstyle Hami raids, so you'll remember the repeated deaths and failures associated with that, and then you wouldn't have even gotten a hami-O.


[/ QUOTE ]

Aye.. if possible I might ask for a few mins "notes" from you to get a gist of how you did it from your own perspective and I'll get Lost and a few other leaders we had and we can talk numbers, ideas, etcetc to see if we can't improve on your idea.. but if we can't I don't see issue with doing it your way until we come up with something addition over time (like you said, die a lot, then don't die much at all)

[ QUOTE ]

This is a brand new encounter, none of the old tactics work AT ALL. As such, dying is part of the learning procedure.


[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed fully.

[ QUOTE ]

Oh, and just FYI, after the first two mito spawns we basically had it down to an artform. We cleared the third mito spawn in about 5-10 minutes, with VERY few deaths. If that's not efficient, I don't know what is.


[/ QUOTE ]

I won't argue with that one.. considering the "new" encounter system, I agree on that.

[ QUOTE ]

P.S. I will be leading a public raid on Union very soon, since my Illusion/Empathy is around 45 now so I can get into the zone. We will be using the same strategy as the one that Defiant used in the first succesful Hamidon raid of i9.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you need a leader to help -- I'll step up and lend a hand with you, if you want my help that it. Your call.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Hey people, why after Issue 9 has been out for a number of weeks now, has there been no attempt to take Hamidon down on Union?

Now let me get this clear, I'm by no means organising this thing, , but I am asking the usual people that do organise it (and do have a clue what they are doing)... Lost, Raz etc when this is going to happen... Who also wants to get some of that sweet hami-o lovin'?

[/ QUOTE ]

ask raz, heck am i putting up with one of these again

[/ QUOTE ]

I've thought about it a fair bit the past few weeks since i9 came out and every so often I come up with an idea.. but I'm still stumped on: leechers getting in the way, reliable people coming and taking a geniune interest. And the zone limit of 50 people.

The Defiant "Die a lot" method is not a very efficient method, considering the fact Union managed to get it down to an art, that got eventually boring for some - but at least it was a guaranteed HO.

[ QUOTE ]
What's the point in Hamidon anyway? When the STF is fixed and giving HO rewards, you can complete that in around an hour.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because the Hamidon Raid doesn't cause min/maxing to occur and people to be pushed out of teams because so called "i know how to do this better" make it viable that some AT combis aren't useful so people miss out -- directly what the Devs didn't intend.. but generally what "min/max" people ended up doing -- by penalizing other ATs because they're too hard to incorporate and they want it NOW NOW NOW.

Much like other things in CoX... but I digress.

Because, Hamidon will give salvage/recipie drops the STF won't do.. and last time I checked CoX had a community.. admittedly a sometimes "backstabbing", "two-faced" and "slag you off", community.. but one none the less. As well as the fact Hamidon wouldn't take as long if people actually got off their [censored] and did as they should rather than mess about and slow everything down. Hamidon has been done in just over 1 hour before now - but then people actually DID something rather than grief.

The Hamidon Raid was designed to last MANY heroes do something together as a community effort to work towards a common goal.

The STF is for 8 people only.. much like other higher tier TFs.

The Hamidon might not be what the Devs wanted it to be in the player eyes... but he is "it" nonetheless.

Plus the new Hamidon removes the option for griefers, leechers (and there was a [censored] load of you people wasting our time), people [censored], as well as general attitudes to be sorted out and removed.

Shadow Punch is a nice little power, and does, when fully slotted, nice damage. I have AS as well, and wouldn't be without either.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did think about it, but idea wise, it wouldn't fit with everything else going on, that I was doing.

(2)[ QUOTE ]
If you want to fll your attack chain get energy torrent or LBE, both deal about the same damage as Smite and both are ranged.

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye possibly, but build wise it adjusts to the mob I'm fighting and the Epic Power Pool power: Petrifying Gaze = latter ability vs Sappers (which I hate like no-ones business.

(3)[ QUOTE ]
And if you need to drop something to work ToF in, you really should , I'd say Shadow Punch much as I love it ToF is better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Basically follows the same reason as above (1) and (2), build wise it was a possible, but it didn't feel right for me, that and the DMG/sec between Punch/Smite/SM/SoM I have a fair bit going on there, as it was. I might have added AS as I love myself for what it does, but atm I don't feel I really need it -- but I'll consider it as I'm levelling for a later /respec.

(4)[ QUOTE ]
Problem with Aid Self is it means picking other powers to get it. Dm gets Siphon Life AND Dull pain, which, TBH should be enough if you play invuln right.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which was my idea as well.

(5)[ QUOTE ]
Also I'd try to fit at least 1 more EndRed enhancemet into all your toggles, even with DC you will be running out of end vey often.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's possible yes, but after playing my Invul/EM Tanker to 32 (I should play him more sometime soon...) I noticed that even with those two sets combined the END use wasn't really a problem with 1x ENDRED in each toggle and no ENDRED in secondaries. But I'll keep an eye on it as I level and readjust as needed, I think.

(6)[ QUOTE ]
I think EndRed IOs and Recovery sets will help a lot with the end issues.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I said before, and I'll say again... [ QUOTE ]
I'm not detailing for IOs as it's not important in this build.
[I never needed them before -- I don't need them now]

[/ QUOTE ]

I get the feeling people will be doing the same as they did for normal builds, having people try to slip PvP ideas in... in this case: narrow-minded, they won't be able to see past the IOs.. but meh.. that's another debate for another time, tbh. Not that it's a bad idea.. don't get my wrong.. but as I said above and quoted as well...

[ QUOTE ]
Just thought I'd let the few of you that know me know, that my sub runs out on May 18th and I won't be renewing it. Just don't seem to play the game anymore so may as well cancel the subscription. I may very well be back eventually, but we'll see.

Toodle oo!

[/ QUOTE ]

Cya bro..

Don't be a stranger ya' here..

I'll make sure the whelps are making Sonic/NRG Blasters for years to come.

What ya think?

Partial idea -- partial Concept build.
Pure PvE -- NO PvP!
I'm not detailing for IOs as it's not important in this build.

the main problem being anyone who reads this thread will now come, ive run over plans, i think i may have something...

[/ QUOTE ]

True.. but considering the "50 person in zone" limit.. we can be picky of sorts to weed out the "leechers" -- as with so many raids we've done and won.. we kinda KNOW who they are... oh how I love "zone" limits sometimes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Id be more fussy about getting ppl who are team players than caring about their powersets, just balance out the ATs and get them to understand their jobs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't agree more there.. that will be a definite problem for some people, but majority wise that I personally know of, won't be a problem, I think.

[ QUOTE ]
ok you lot out there paying atention to this how dose bank holiday monday sond for our first hammi run if this is ok w will basicly run similar teams to the usel hero side =hammie run going from th nw guide thats prity much what works.

dark lords should be able to feild the taunt team np with a few spares for other purposes so volenteers will be needed for the other team and command roles for the raid so time for you lot to step up

[/ QUOTE ]

Well unless you know of a reason that my EM/Nin Stalker would be useful.. I might stick to commanding the Hero Side for now.. but I'm curious about the Villian one, as I know people have been asking me if I'm going to do both at some point.

[ QUOTE ]
Okay! We have a new issue, so when shall we try this again? Either this Friday as usual, or probably better next Friday once the lag has reduced. What do y'all think?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure.. we need to get some reliable people together, sure we can use TS (if we can get access to it), and see what we can do. Next Friday = gives time for people to talk plans/ideas.

[ QUOTE ]
Should have just pointed him to my post where you told me that Raz

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye could've done that.

[ QUOTE ]
i would take the slots off of sting of the wasp once you have golden dragonfly (i respeced em out)as you wont have any need to use it in your attack chain. ( i know u said this is a 1-50 build)
Divine avalanche i have slotted 3 acc 3 debuff.
Try and fit an endrec in practised brawler (i have it so it auto fires when ready).
Apart from that your build is exactly the same as the one i had before my last respec and works well.
Good luck

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
sighn me up if there room.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well if people wanna do it, it'll have to be first come basis for now today, otherwise they start a group themselves.

Soon as we can get on Live, i'll be heading to I.P.

For all those interested, or not posted.. TF 2nite once servers go Live and we'll see how it pans out.

I'll be heading to IP once it goes Live, to begin pre-recruitment stage(s).

2moz @ 6pm Statesman Task Force, for those that find 2moz easier. Same place, in IP as today.

For those interested and that have been in touch asking me about this...


Anyone up for a Statesman Task Force, at some point this week, when i9 goes Live?

Needed: 7 more people [Team 1#]

1) Raziel. [Fire Control/Empathy - Controller]
2) ?
3) ?
4) ?
5) ?
6) ?
7) ?
8) ?

We can work out a date, that fits with everyone, as I'll be willing to do the TF a few times over, for those raring to do it.

Baring in mind, that i9 apparently goes Live 2moz, and the fact the Servers will be buzzing with Lag-madness, let's not be too hasty and try to do the TF late 2moz night - at least give the Live Server some breathing room to get used to the fact it's been updated -- and gives me time to finish what I'm doing 2moz

(still wedding details to be sorted out.. IT'S NEVER ENDING!!!!!!!!)

So if Friday onwards is good for people -- I'm game.
But, if people can't wait and want to do it on Wednesday, I'm free 5pm onwards to do it, OR if people REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY can't wait.. meh.. I'll do the TF 2moz night. Just reply here for teamage.

[ QUOTE ]
7pm tonight felt weird, didn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

aye... had a few people asking me about if there was a raid or not, and half of em wasn't even from Union.

I've been asked this many times over by people who know I create binds on the fly ingame before now, and I'm sorry to say as Synergy_X said, it's not exactly possible, due to the mechanics of the binding/macro-command system.

Hell, making some powers work automatically on a certain henchman' is a pain it itself

But no.. it's not possible, other than what Syn has said already.
