    You probably forgot to account for Arcanatime when you were figuring out animation times for your powers (a common mistake to newbie number crunchers). To get the real time that each of the powers takes up, divide the listed animation time by .132, round it up, add 1, and then multiply by .132.

    .132*(roundUp(listed/.132)+1) = Arcanatime (real) animation time
    WTF is Arcanatime, it doesnt exist ingame so why do i need to calculate it into my DPS this makes no sence.... and im sory im a 'newbie' to number cruching i dont useually build trying to maximise DPS

    After running in a TF tuesday, it was going alota attention/intrest, and in that thread it was asked if Kyo would run Strikeforces but she stated *iirc* that she didnt have high enough Vills to run em, so heres SF Sundays!.... run by the self proclaimed lord of insanity Smite.

    So i suggest we run all the SFs avialable to vill and with the co-op 2 heros are welcome to join aswell.

    Cap Au Diable: The Best Beneath the Mountain, needs 4, lvl 15-20, worth 12 Merits
    SG Base: The Pirates in the Sky, needs 4, lvl 20-25, worth 38 Merits
    Sharkhead: The Temples of the Water, needs 4, lvl 25-30, worth 22 Merits
    Ouroboros: The Spider Weaves his Web, needs 1, lvl 25-34, worth 4 Merits
    Ouroboros: The 5th Column Overthrow, needs 1, lvl 30-39, worth 6 Merits
    St Martial: The Crystal of Serafina, needs 4, lvl 35-40, worth 25 Merits
    Cimerora: Times Arrow, needs 6, lvl 35-50, worth 28 Merits
    Grandville: Lord Recluse Strikeforce, needs 8, lvl 45-50, worth 25 Merits
    Rikti War Zone: Lady Grey Strikeforce, needs 8, lvl 45-50, worth 39 Merits
    Grandville: Thus Spoke the Reichman, needs 4, lvl 45-50, worth 35 Merits
    Ouroboros: Trading Places, needs 1, lvl 46-50, worth 6 Merits

    in total 240 Merits

    So if we get atleast 6 volenteirs for each we will go ahead on the Sunday, of not will pospone till next week.

    So this sunday we will run the Cap SF at .... either 7 or 8 PM eastern... will let the sign-upers decide wich of the 2
    *If no one decides itl be run at 8 PM btw, mainly giving a choice because of the Hero Side Hami*

    1) @Smite King, Unforeseen., MA/Ninjitsu Stalker
    2) BigYetti, Unknown, Unknown
    3) Trickshooter, Unknown, Claws/WP Stalker
    4) Demon Shell, Wraith-Blade, Fire/Dark Brute
    5) DJKyo, Unknown, Dominator
    6)
    7)
    8)

    Reserve, Vega

    Will hope to see sign ups

    So is a NightWidow a god AT for AV soloing? I mean all AVs, I don't want to just pick and choose. I know I can easily hit the soft cap, but can i:
    1)sustain the damage
    2)sustain enough end
    3)survive AVs with DEF-DeBuff
    4)Is my HP going to be high enough for the attacks that get through?

    I appreciate the help.
    with my little knowledge i think i can help, but with #1 do u mean sustain a high DPS chain or?..... but if #1 is sustaining a good DPS chain

    1)would be able to since a NW is basicly the same as a claws/sr

    2)would the right sets, i say yes.. remember that base +regen/+recov gives atleast .25 *iirc*

    3)would have to be VERY luck to avoid attacks after the first lands... you have a 17.3% def debuff res, which i dont know if is enhanceable *which could put it up to 30%*

    4)1074 BASE hp at lvl 50 would be enough to survive 2 direct hits in a row, one more and i think ull faceplant... BUT with the accolades you should be able to get around 1400 HP which could make you even more survivable.

    so i hope my answers helped.

    Are you sure you don't want to use Storm Kick rather than Thunder Kick? They're both available at level one and Storm Kick is significantly better DPA.

    Assuming you go with Storm>Dark>Crane>Storm>Dark>CAK, you'll deal roughly 73.8 base DPS (re: no +dam, no procs). I assure you that MA/Nin will not outperform DM/Shield.
    Edit: with 3 lvl 50 dmg IOs in thunder>dark>crane>thunder>dark>CAK its roughly 156.6 dps *my dps calculations arnt correct im sure* and i only prefer thunder to storm because i dont like that jump spin, i like a straight kick to the face

    Im not trying to out perfom my dm/sheild, im mainly seeing if its possible to get him enough DPS to be CHEAPER to solo AVs than my DM/sheild, and from my VERY rough guestimations... theres atleast a 10 dps difference between the 2 *not including any build up type powers*


    And thx for the DM/SR build.... im hope he would be fine useing dark blast if i explain it uses less end, less rech and does better dmg

    Also.... im not sure how i would calculate this in... but utilising stlkrs "assassination" to its full potential *31% chance to crit with full team* would that be adding in atleast 1/3 of the dps?

    one last note.... if useing said assassination to its full, would it be considered 'cheating' to solo AVs with even tho the team didnt do anything?
  7. Smite_King
    I know this is the scrapper forums, BUT..... im not sure how many stlkrs in the stlkr forums are crazy enough to try and solo AVs but, i built my friend a DM/sr stlkr to attempt at soloing AVs and would like some feedback

    I was wondering if any1 would be interested in running a Shin-Ra 'super team' consiting of Shin-Ra Infantrymen, Turks and SOLDIER.. and the plan would be to 1-50 thru mishs and TFs... none of this AE stuffs.. meaning we would all eventually end up with the TFC badge, and if we gets a tank possibly the STF

    Infintrymen im gonna ask if they can be left as AR/Dev blasters, or in I16 as traps/AR defenders
    http://img36.imageshack.us/i/shinramp.jpg/ for refrence, and you dont have to use the helm if you dont want

    SOLDIER im gonna ask if they can be Katana or Broad Swrod, but im gonna give room for any secondary you want *but i ask if you can skip Fire, Dark and Sheilds for secondary*
    And with the SOLDIER i ask if they 1-20 stays 3rd class, 20-30 is 2nd and 30+ is 1st. and same with the infantry, you dont need the helm if you dont want
    http://www.freewebs.com/restrictors/

    Turks.... i have no clue as to what to put here, i havnt really seen what they can REALLY do during my time in FFVII, FFVII:CC nor in FFVII:AC... altho i did see that Tseng uses a pistol. Possibly Tanks..

    Would need to do a bit of planning with the time here as since im GMT +12 *New Zealand FTW :P* which makes it harder for me to organize things since i kinda live in the future *XD*... but other than that... "So Whos Keen?!"

    P.S If need be ill move this to the Player Events Forum

    I think you'll get a slew of Claws/SR answers. Cheap in all aspects. Or Katana/SR.

    But if your DM/Shield isn't satisfying your ST damage cravings I think you'd be game for a Broadsword/Shields.
    Well im mainly just gonna use the DM sheild to Solo AVs and do TFs, im mainly looking for one that is a beast in 'everyday' life. and just to Clarify.... i said i Have 150 mil, and that i need 3.85 bil more... not that ive alrdy spent it.

    Anyway, Fire/SR is an awesome build. I softcapped mine for less than 50 mill (20-30 of it was the Zephyr -KB IO, so if you get lucky on a reward roll it will cost half as much). Softcapping it with Aid Self cost much more, but if you can afford it it is definately worth it. To be honest, Fire/SR is great even if you just softcap it without much other set bonuses, but if you can get them in on your budget though it will just make you more awesome.
    And the MoG, i liked it as it was, not how it is not... its more like a BLINK not a moment... but eh

    That's about it right there.
    So im taking it Fire/SR is the 'poor mans' AV soloer... and that its great every where else?
    Hmmm... looks like i need to get aboard this train, altho im not really looking for another AV soloer

    POST-ACTION

    Im thinking about rolling a scrapper with huge ST DPS and the ability to maintain the DPS, unlike other people asking for scrap builds help... Cash is a big problem for me as since i have 150 mil, and still needing roughly 3.85 bill to slot out my DM/sheild for AV soloing reason.

    Ive got a BS/wp/body at 50, a DM/Sheild/body at 50, a claws/dark/body at 40-41 and had a ma/regen at 39 *killed because of MoG nerf*

    I wouldnt mind rolling another /regen mainly because MoG isnt too bad, not great but eh... gotta live with the Devs choices

    Thx for the help in advance
