Yeah, it gets pretty crazy when you run it solo at x8.
The villain mission with the 5x Miss Thystles can also get pretty intense. -

I don't PvP, so I thought you were possibly joking.

They may not have been intended to be, but they can be when built well. Scrappers can even tank when built well.
It's not very common though. -
I've colored Fire Blast and Control to match the colors of Radiation Emission, because I prefer to pair Fire/Rad rather than Rad/Rad. Besides, radiation causes burns, not "energy" damage.
I've also colored Energy Assault to "psychic pink" on my Mind/Energy Dom to emulate Psionic Energy (I like Power Boost) -
None.

Castle will look at this thread thinking: "sets that need to get nerfed next"

Taunt is useful for certain encounters where you'll be facing multiple hard targets simultaneously (such as ITF, LRSF, STF, etc). For general play/teaming/steamrolling it can be skipped as long as you're good at grabbing aggro with your taunt aura and AoE attacks

Fire/Rad or Sonic/Therm

I've found the AoE hold + Choking Cloud combo to be very useful. Having access to both Cinders and EM Pulse means you always have an AoE hold available. Consume from Fire Mastery also helps with the -recov from EM Pulse

Fire dark works because of tarpatch and the hefty -acc in fearsome stare. Rads toggles are great, but with nothing to lock them down the spawns split, especially with castles "needz moar run" Ai adjustments.
You don't need lots of def, but it's nice to have some. A fully slotted RI does roughly -20% tohit debuff to a +4 enemy (after resistances), so you'd only need 25% to be softcapped (or two small purples) against them.Quote:Originally Posted by Captain_Freak
IF you dont build with loadsa Def, spawns just shoot you....alot....and the odd mez drops your RI and shoot you even harder despite LR slowing them down...sorta. Lingering Rad is great, but with 8+ mobs shooting at you, it seems -rech isnt all that great.
-Rech means that if the alpha doesn't kill you (which rarely does) in the first few seconds, you're not gonna die.
Different methods to accomplish the same results, only that (IMO) rad can achieve better results.Quote:Originally Posted by Captain_Freak
tarpatch+fearsome is still slowing them down alot and destroying thier acc
heck, Fearsome stare first, then drop Tarpatch. Since tarpatch isnt technically an attack(according to fear rules) you can now do something else like pop reds or hit aim.....then attack.
I'm not saying Dark isn't a formidable set, I'm just saying that (from my personal experience) Rad is better IMO. -
Quote:I solo +4/x8 spawns regularly on my Fire/Rad, doing +2's would be a step back.Originally Posted by Infernus_Hades
Nope, can you:
Set difficulty at +2x8
Zip ahead with super speed, paint a boss with Darkest night - zip back 2 or 3 groups - wait around a corner for them all to arrive - drop tarpit, use fear to freeze them all and howling twilight to stun all minions and then Rain of fire and fireball to destroy all of them except the completely debuffed Bosses?
I've also been known to solo pretty much every GM out there (including Lusca) with my rads, which dark can't do.
Rad has Choking Cloud (which can be used more often than HT, since it's a toggle) and the slow from Lingering Radiation is better than Tar Pit's (since it also does -rech)Quote:Originally Posted by Infernus_Hades
You can do similar things but you lack the group stun of Howling twilight and the tarpit slow. -
Quote:They'll probably hand out 1 freespec when the issue comes out, then another freespec 1 week later or so (as they've done before)Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
I'm curious as to how they would work around the non-stacking of freespecs. I've not seen anything related to getting more than one myself.

Sleet is better, because most stormies are bad.

There are no cuts and no edits. When you see the fast-forward sign on the screen, it's because the video is running at double the speed to keep it from becoming too boring. The actual chase time was close to five minutes. The soundtrack was gec72's idea.

Quote:Yeah except...Originally Posted by Dysmal
Well, yeah, EMP does some big -Regen, but then you get an end crash. Howling Twilight and Lingering Rad are equivalent Regen debuffs if I'm reading City of Data correctly, and then Dark has the heal and the pet spamming the heal as well.
So it is a little more complex.

LR can be perma-ed pretty easily. HT can't. -
Neither DA nor Parry belong in an AV soloing attack chain, nor should they be paired with defensive sets. For softcapping defense use IO's

Quote:Those two are burst damage sets, I don't think their sustained DPS capabilites are that goodOriginally Posted by beyeajus
I'd say Energy melee, or possibly Broad Sword. they sure hurt.
Ninja Blade might be a good choice, however. -
Quote:Yes, I've also soloed AVs succesfully with a Dominator, Fire/Psi/Psi. GMs on the other hand, have proven rather difficult to do and I've yet to successfully solo one; they RUN AWAY too much, which makes it nearly impossible for me and my imps to sustain any significant DPS on them.Originally Posted by Jibikao
By the way, has anyone tried soloing with a Dominator? Psionic Assault doesn't have very good range attacks.
-
Quote:Yeah, except Rad is significantly better than Dark at debuffing regen, and just about on par at damage debuffing. Dark is better at to-hit debuffing, I'll give you that.Originally Posted by Dysmal
Well sure, but Rad's heal is also weaker, and isn't also a to hit debuff, damage debuff and regen debuff. So, six of one, half a dozen of the other, fairly balanced.

Quote:His secondary would most likely be /Nin, and his primary would be whatever it is that has the top DPS for Stalkers (I would say Dark Melee but Stalkers don't have Soul Drain, not sure how Claws and even the recently buffed MA would fare, and Kinetic Melee may also be an option)Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
So... what would a Stalker who can solo an AV look like? Have folks actually done it, or was that a statement from theory, Silverado?
-
Quote:Rad's heal doesn't need a to-hit check, and Rad's to-hit debuff toggle also comes with -defOriginally Posted by SBeaudway
Well, except heal and to hit debuff off the top of my head. But, I think both are great options.

It is the way to go.
You know how people keep talking about how great Fire/Dark Corruptors are? Fire/Rad can do everything they do better -
Quote:15mins on averageOriginally Posted by Jibikao
Holy..how long did you fight it for?
YesQuote:Originally Posted by Jibikao
You used Drained Psyche to reduce regen? And you use fighting pools toggles to get 48% S/L resistance?

The problem with MM doing GM is that if we are not flying in air, any aoe damage can wipe them out quick.
MM's are the easiest/safest AT to solo GMs with.
