Stryph

Super Reflexes can provide herding capabilities quite easily. Spec your build right and you can have nearly perma-Elude which is the cream of the cookie butter.



As for Broadsword/Regen, personally I think the issue is Broadsword. And not just that but Lethal Damage in general which everything and their mothers pretty much has some moderate resistance to. Luckily I'm cranking through Accuracy boosting IO bonuses because those Rikti Drones used to annoy the hell out of my scrapper using BS. But I had that issue with my DB/SR stalker as well.

Regen as it is though is potent even for a stalker. The key is knowing what to trigger first to initiate "huddle mode". :P

Seraph is "On The Path" to absolution but I just don't Roleplay it openly and most people have no idea. I have plans as to how it'll evolve, being gifted the Flame of Wisdom by Athena (perfect weapon against Cthulu "It's darkest before dawn") but he doesn't go around toting about it. So it's more secretive, he doesn't know the extent it'll take him and more or less he treats the path just like any other relic investigation.

That being said, I choose to acknowledge the Task Force initiation for Incarnates so Seraph easily recognizes the man he was to be in the future as a near-god therefore connecting the dots rather quickly upon taking part in Apex and Tin Task Forces. It's a subtle feeling, he knows he's stronger upon revisiting Praetoria but he can't put his finger on it and every encounter makes him remember Ramiel's words and the vision he saw through the crystal of his future self.

Typically I don't RP on the mission about it. Haven't really met anybody that preferred it so it would be kind of... intangible for Seraph to constantly say "Yeah, I was in the neighborhood so thought I'd tag along." Which to me is kind of weak for a good start arch. I usually want reasons otherwise I RP Seraph as not even being there at that point in time while still helping the team oocly. Although it's probably because I just haven't found the right mix of allies to group with that is RP dedicated to doing missions, then I might change it up a little.

-snakes in and snags a piece- Mmmm happy weekend everybody.

I don't mind as long as the TF is accomplished. Really speed run or not, if it's 50+ I'm still getting shards which means the more mobs you kill the more likely you'll get a shard drop anyways.

Very enticing and enjoyable

I don't even bother with advertisements like this. Waste of time to get fumed about it in my opinion, person is paying for something that if they timed their log-in duration right they can get relatively for free. :P

Sad thing is it's the D and players can do it. So most who will eventually try to do said thing, wont even pay attention to the unanimous decision most of us share on the matter. That's just my advice, do what you can and then give it up. Day 1 maybe fun and enticing but a day or so passes and someone will think it's "funny" to ruin anothers day.

If they could just limit specific powers to activate in only certain areas, it would be fine. I don't want to ban the Ourobos Portal form the D entirely but limiting it to the club side would be fine.

As for MMs, only one person out of the many MMs that use pets actually used them respectively instead of carrying around a horde. Unfortunately this one person is shadowed over by those who summon the pets specifically to grief other players and in doing so ruins it for the many others who gave ideas some thought for some pretty convincing storyline. I'd say Pets especially shouldn't be allowed in the Chalet for this festival.

Have one as my former main back when I had a go at the first time of DB's release. Honestly, a little on the heavy endurance consumption and very situational. DB's effectiveness, unlike most of other Stalker primaries, is heavily reliant on controlling your target (be it weaken, strengthening one's self, crowd control, etcetera). Your primary becomes very reliant on those attack chains which ultimately do the damage. Unfortunately DB kind of lacks the whole high damage parsing but makes up for it in speed.

SR, to me I still think it's godsend. Tanked Honoree with regular SOs two years back, don't think too much has changed for the build in particular. But unfortunately that's all I could do, couldn't kill him because the damage just wasn't making that big of an impact to out parse his invince recharge.

Good build but there's just some variables that can make it quite frustrating. Luckily however switching targets doesn't disrupt the chain so if you're quick on the tab key, you can continue chains quickly.

Over all though, my opinion is you'd might do a better job with Ninja Sword if you're for the blade-style melee.

Maybe I'm gullible but I heard a full team of scrappers were able to kill her. Course when I ran through it a few times I kind of figured that was next to impossible due to the lack of ranged DPS, however envenomed daggers probably played crucial roll in that. Over all as a practitioner of SR, I have to say when she does hit you obviously it stings like a truck load. Her chance to hit is a little on the high side for even some of the highest capped def players.

Plenty of factors must be taken into account. Most importantly is time of day and what day of the week. Like any MMORPG, this isn't your backyard. What maybe flexible hours for some, may not be so for others living 3 hours further down the time zones. Some days of the weak also provide higher chance of invites. I work weekends and I'm at work all night on Sundays, so for my case I'm not around until way later in the AMs.

Also the Incarnate system just came out. This content is strictly for level 50s as endgame. People maybe ditching their alts for the time being to get into the seats of their veteran characters and running them through the content. Be patient and let the novelty wear off. As a simple observer and even participator, there's been Mothership raids daily consistently since I19's launch to where RWZ has been split into 4 shards at the most with 1 and 2 full, if not all the time, most of the time.

When Going Rogue launched it was the opposite. Plenty of lowbies were around and nobody was doing the high end TFs. Learn the feel of the metagame and you kind of gain an understanding of the average mentality of players on Virtue. It just takes patience.

I'm curious, was a good set up for Parry. I think I can manage 6 slotting it but what IO would one say works best to produce the best results? In a Scrapper build I see Touch of Death (6/6) but are is the debuff going to work better than LoTG? Or is it because the user capped their recharge already?

I have a question, we can have 1 of each right? (IE: Cardiac, Musc, Nerve, and Spirit). So if I goto make my first Cardiac while having a Spirit Tier 2... the Cardiac wont overwrite the Spirit, losing it?

So I just beat her on a second try:

1 Tank
2 SoAs (1 Window / 1 Bane)
1 Blaster
1 Dominator
1 Scrapper
1 Stalker (myself)
1 Brute

After clearing all her adds all we would do is basically take pop shots. Jump in when her area was clear, gang up, then fall back, and resort to any range attack. I see that powers like Fire Rain especially help because in the event that she puts down the nanite storm at her feet (whatever it's called) she'll run out and into the clear where we'd gang up. As a bonus the PBAoEs also slow her regen preventing her from recovering too quickly if range attacks aren't dealing enough.
