Shift

"Think i saw Mob over there on the way, not seen Biker yet though"

"You happen to have anything that looks like a bow inhere? I managed to make some net arrows, but couldnt find the material for a bow"

[Pistol nods into her cell]

"Right, knew you'd have one inhere."

[Pistol smiles]

[4 Guards come rushing in]

"Freeze!"

(thinking)
God i wish i had Ice powers now"

[Shift swiftly fires a few of his net arrows pinning the guards to the ground]

"Good boy, now stay down!"

"Lets go Pistol"

(( Glad you liked it ))

[Shift reached Block H after a few minutes of walking, he knew this prison like the back of his hand after being in this rotten place for 4 Years. Arriving in Block H, he saw Pistol cornerd by a few guards.]

[2 Shots sounded]

"Thomp"
"Thomp"

"Looked like you could use a hand there."

[Pistol smiles]

"Trying to break out without me? I was only gone for 2 weeks to solitairy. And we all know who's fault THAT was."

[Pistol looks towards Shift and raises an eyebrow]

"So, mind if i join in?"

"I'm not sure where my crew is, haven't had contact with them in a while. But as long as i got this guards rifle, and a bow and some arrows, i should be a usefull asset to your cause."

(( Hehe, thanks, i kind of pictured it as a movie, so i guess the detail just came with that :P))

right, not a big roleplayer myself, but this looks fun, im gonna try

Cell Block R: Isolation Wing

[Shift is lying in his cell. Still thinking how stupid it was to rob that bank when he knew the chance of him being ratted out where big.]

[A few of the guards are talking to eachother, Shift is trying to make out what they were saying]

"Hey Walter, whats this thing going on over up in Block H?"

"Dunno Jack"

[Guard sips his coffee]

[Phone Rings]

"This is Guard Walter"
....
"WHAT????"
....
"Y-Y-Y-Y-es Sir!"

"What's up Walt?"

"They're...."
"They're breaking out....."

"WHA?"
"We have to make sure that they don't spread through the wings, looks like block H has already been compromised"

(thinking)
Interesting, looks like Pistol finally set her little plan into motion, i gotta find a way to get to her and join the rest."

[Shift takes a quick feel under his bed, feeling if he's still got got that 1 flashbang bomb, jup, its still there]

"Hey guard!"
"Yo Guard!!!"

"Shut it inmate, you're in isolation, you aren't allowed to talk!"

"Come over here a second please guard."

"Fine"

[Guard walks up to Shift's Cell]

(thinking)
Idiot.

"What do you want now Shift?"

"Just your keys"

"Heh, funny.."

[Guard leans against the bars of Shifts cell]

(thinking)
Double idiot....

[In an instant Shift throws the flashbang and grabs the Guards arms. He delivers a swift blow and the guard knocks out]

"What's going on over there???"

[Shift quickly grabs the keys and opens his cell door]

"Hey, what you doing???"

[A soft "thomp" sounds]

(thinking)
And thats 2
Right, lets head over to Block H.

Just used the format you guys do, hope you like it

edit: My name in speaking will be Shift btw, Mk II is just added because some [self-censored] alrady took my name on union :P

Nope - Mercs are actually a very nice set - they have a healer, two mezzers and some nice high-end AoE to play with.

Of course, if you want a PvP MM then you can't go wrong with Ninjas - most of their attacks are single-target which are key to winning PvP (noone really goes to take down multiple targets at once, like they do in PvE).

Worth mentioning that the dude is suicidal tho.

as promised my enhancement screen for Shift (on the test respec)

Dark Regen, the only sefl heal worth praising

[/ QUOTE ]

thank god it also got the end cut with ED. 50 end unslotted was just what a DA needed when he was in trouble :/

only 1 acc and no FA. i guess thats viable for end in pve.

Too bad i want my DM/DA to PvP too, ill try to make a screenshto of his slotting.

edit: also, i run in BEFORE the tank does Dark Regen ftw :P

*raises hand* Designated Sapper killer for my duo. I duo with......... A REGEN.

So why? Cause they have to hit me twice to fully sap me, two attacks hits a regen twice, usually takes a bit more than two for them to get me twice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting. I don't think a sapper has ever hit me twice - generally not alive to get the second shot off.
Why you ask. A well built regen can drop all the way down to next to bugger all end and it's STILL not an issue since in all likelihood he effectively has infinite endurance.
Besides, never seen an SR scrapper last long jumping into the middle of a +3 mob. Not saying it can't be done, but would wager *most* SRs don't like taking that kind of risk.

they can take it now, imagine what they can do in i7

90%

Easy way to find out resistance cap :

Find some enemy, let him hit you
Find some contact, buy 20 res inspirations
Go back to the same enemy, use all the inspirations
If it's doing 1/4 of the dmg it did first time, your cap is 75%
If it's doing 1/10 of the dmg it did first time, your cap is 90%

As a /inv brute you shouldn't worry much about it, I don't think you'll even get to 75% S/L with tough, temp invul, RPD and unyielding.

(However, you can slot Unstoppable with 3 res/3 rech and you'll have higher resistances than a granite TANKER for 3mn )

[/ QUOTE ]

was indeed for US slotting, 1 or 2 Resistance insp.

3slotted passives + 3slotted US = RES cap without running any other toggles

3slotted passives + 1slotted US = 75% RES cap without running any other toggles (almost)

Thats why. but looks like im 2 or 3slotting for RES then. (deffo not 1)

Thx guys could have thought of that myself really :P (tho i cant carry 20 sturdies at lvl 8 :P)

Tried looking for this on the US boards after a little topic in General Discussion.

What is the resistance cap for brutes?
is it scrappers cap? 75%?
Tankers cap? 90%
Somewhere in between?

Does anyone have any concrete information (not hear-say :P)
would be nice if there was a redname post about this.

edit: this because i just rolled a new em/inv brute, and im now planning his build :P

[ QUOTE ]
Was going to say "How can you say Dark Mastery is bad" and go on about it, but just seen no ToF and I've lost my train of thought.......... Mine's got itself a shiny HO amoungst its 6 slots, the other HO I own is in TT from Dark Mastery :P

[/ QUOTE ]

got 3 HOs, Ribosomes. Guess where they are :P

[ QUOTE ]
The freespec? You're stuck with DM/DA, you know? Wont ungimp him

(hides his DA brute from vision)

[/ QUOTE ]

picked darkness mastery :P
And some other stupid powers. Need to reslot/repick a few :P
(not got ToF for example )

not sure if i got Death Shroud before or after 41.

Anyhow, the guy is gimped :P need to rebuild with the freespec.

oh, speaking of which, TTL wont make 39 probably, will be too busy playing my thugs mm :P

[ QUOTE ]
And no sneaky leveling your regen Shift, I dont want to be the only non Regen on the team, someone else needs to be missing end too

[/ QUOTE ]

playing him as we speak. done my last examn today.

hes 33.4

think i can make that?

and Shift is never out of end! as long as i dont attack :P

Regen is CoH on "easy" But only if you get your build right. No stuns, no knockbacks and no downtime. You gotta love it.

And contrary to popular opinion; you *can* tank, but only certain types of mobs. Oh, and expect yourself to be the designated sapper-killer when you start meeting Malta.

most of the teams im the sapper killer. +Res EndDrain ftw!

sounds good to me.

i like the idea of the tier 2 pets being different instead of the tier 1 pets.

overall looks nice tho

I play a Rad defender in hero's, which means I've signed a secret contract that I will take every chance to denounce the term healer. Ask other Rad defenders, we all had to sign

[/ QUOTE ]

i never signed any, then again, im a rad corruptor. so im evil!!!!

Ion Shift is rad/rad. Bit heavy on the /rad side. Which is kind of logical, since i prefer defenders over blasters :P

My main thing is to help the team survive/kill easier. With the odd blast thrown in.

*burp*

sorry

[ QUOTE ]
Actually I believe it is Def S/L/E res toxic ('cos there is no toxic def). It can only be slotted for def.

[/ QUOTE ]

indeed you are correct good sir.

Why there still is no toxic DEF boggles my mind tho.

Hmm. Which one is it against energy? +res (like the info line says) or +def (like the text says)?

[/ QUOTE ]

the stats say (in blue)
+Def (Smash/Lethal)
+Res (Energy/Toxic)

so i suspect it what it says it is.

It's a thursday thing, Shift.

boohoo, i got work on thursdays.....

then again, i haven't got many free weeknights either.... ah well, guess i'm going to have to forfeit (was hoping this'd be a sunday or a tuesday thing :P
