PGT from Traps does have an accuracy check
Only the -rgn and slow debuffs are autohit, the rest of the effects have a tohit check -
If you're on Virtue I can hook you up, send me a global.

I read the controller boards and the Dominator boards. I read in plenty of places "Controllers or Doms" are the best AT in the game. Look, in this VEAT crowd, I think I can safely say, a well built VEAT (and especially a fortunata) is IMO powergaming in a big way. -
I might go Very Rare on my Brute, but I doubt I'll be getting it on my other 5 toons (who will just stay at Rare). It's not like they aren't delightfully overpowered already.

Low 30s would work very well; it'll cut down on about 60% of the incoming attacks normally, and a single (small) luck will be enough to temporarily softcap against really nasty crowds.
And yes, cascading defense failure IS your enemy, WILL happen very often and when it does, resistance will mean little (especially when fighting Cimerorans, Kheldians, Arachnos or Longbow; and DE too will be problematic for their quartz) -
That makes no sense at all.

Quote:Keeping 2 +2 AVs perma-confused is pretty impressive, you're a beast.Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
The trick is how aggro works with confused targets. A confused target will focus attack on anything that does damage to it, for this reason I didn't use Mass Confusion. Instead, I just confused the AV that was going to do the killing (Numina and Mynx). Once they're confused they'll be attacking all of the AVs nearby, so you just need to also confuse the AV that you wish to get killed. They'll attack whoever has done damage to them and once they do, they become the focused target.
And yes, Numina does have enough DPS, she killed the entire Freedom Phalanx alone. -
That is a pretty impressive way to trick the system.
You must have some pretty ingenious strategy to pull this off, since it doesn't seem as simple as "confuse Numina and have her kill all the AVs". She alone doesn't have enough DPS to kill another AV, and confused targets rarely stay focused on a single target, prefering to wander off and look for more targets to spread damage to. -

Lastly, I'm not sure if Mids reflect this, but pseudopet attacks (in this case, Lightning Rod and Shield Charge) has a max damage cap of 400%. Given 100% base, 65% AAO, 95% enhancement and 140% fury, you've already capped out damage from lightning rod and shield charge. Your buildup is 100% wasted in the majority of cases, along with any damage inspirations etc.

Normally, this isn't such a big problem, since I can either immobilize them with Web Grenade, slow them with either Caltrops or Poison Gas Trap, knock them down via various Robot attacks, or out and out kill them before they go too far. But when we're talking about an elite boss, I have to start grumbling a bit. More specifically, I'm talking about Burkholder, as found in Jenni Adiar's arc.

That Corruptor better have an AoE immobilize from the patron pool, otherwise the critters will be scattering like there's no tomorrow.
The Controller will usually do better though, cause being able to lock down the spawn gives him an edge in suriability. Sure you can softcap defense on a Corruptor to patch the survivability problem, but even then you'll be limited in the mobs you can fight (since you have to pick between capping ranged defense OR smash/lethal defense), whereas a Controller's only limit are mez-resistant spawns (which are rare) -
I've got 5 kids to feed (aka alts) so I'm not counting on seeing the very rare slot anytime soon. It's not like my toons aren't already OP'd as it is.

And this is where I feel you're wrong.
You feel that stalkers are giving up AoE while I believe they have 'enough' AoE. You feel they lack the edge on AoE and I'd agree with you, but it evens out with their AoE burst capabilities. You feel that since Stalkers have little AoE they should be better at single target while I think Stalkers should just be given sets that are considered good at AoE (you'd probably take back much of your stance if Stalkers got Tanker Fire melee with combustion exchanged for AS or with SS, having a 50% crit Footstomp or throwing the AT Shields to make use of Shield charge).
You shouldn't have to bolster one AT over the others to make them superior for certain situations. Do people say "Man, we've got lots of minions running around...where can we get a blaster?" Probably not because any schmuck with AoEs can handle this. So why should Stalkers be special? It's not fair. -
Virtue raids CoP regularly

I chuckled at the Citadel one

I love how people are so quick to respond without even asking which side is he on ¬_¬

Quote:I'm pretty sure that Mako's Elude gives him a 100% immunity to -def debuffs, same as Mynx.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Let's fight Mako from the STF. He's the most notorious hard to hit enemy, so this is the chance for your defense debuffs to shine.
Everyone on the team is whiffing because he's got defense. You pop Aim and fire off Irradiate, Cosmic Burst, and some other power in the time Aim is active. We have to assume that Aim is capping your chance to hit, ignore the fact that the three attacks would still have a chance to miss, and ignore the possibility that Mako's AoE attacks could kill you in the time it takes to approach and retreat for Irradiate. Using your defender's numbers, that's a total of 121.76% in defense debuffs. Now, assuming that Mako's defense powers do not include any sort of defense debuff resistance of their own, your debuffs now face a 87% resistance for the 54 AV. Then you have to layer the purple patch that brings your debuffs down by another 52%. You can debuff Mako's defense by 8.73%, so long as you never miss an attack in your chain, which will happen on average once every twenty attacks. I think AV fights last around the time it takes to execute twenty attacks. -
Quote:Don't forget the endurance recovery to sustain that damage through a 10-20 minute fightOriginally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Basically, you only need 2 things to solo an AV with any AT: Enough damage to kill it, and the ability to survive the fight.

You were also asking if you could do it with temps
-
Come on, Friedberg and Seltzer have their (admitedly few) moments, and even though the majority of the internet dislikes them their movies can still be considered guilty pleasures for those of us who aren't as jaded and cynical. They're definitely not in the same boat as Uwe Boll
-
Yes, and neither Brute nor Scrappers are the best choices for it.
-
If you're using temps it doesn't matter what build/powersets/AT you are, since with Shivans and nukes even a DB/Dark Stalker can solo an AV
