And can accept that she at least "looks" like a Buffy when you compare her to Kristy Swanson and Sarah Michelle Gellar. I really have little faith in this Buffy reboot (without Whedon's involvement) to begin with, but I figure they could have considered someone worse than Heather. *shrugs*

Nukes are only disallowed in the CoP, not tin mage or apex. Heck, outside of changing the proximity mines, nothing has really been changed to the tin mage or apex, and i think the fastest apex times i've seen is a little over 30 minutes. 30 minutes for 40 merits/2 shards, and the dev's havent changed it yet.

If inspirations aren't helping you, then your doing it wrong. On every single one of my level 50s i've ran this arc, while some have died to trappy, everyone has successfully Solo'ed or duo'ed him. This is on a:

Fire/fire/fire blaster (RoTP is pretty nice, burnt his face off)
Fire/kin corr (power boosted transfusion kept me alive, even when he hit me, and the fortunata mistress pet TK blasted him into the lava for me, then burnt his face off)
Tri-form warshade (went dwarf, pounded his face in)
Earth/rad Controller (spammed the -regen debuff, floored his defense, and had stoney pound his face in)
SS/invuln brute (ignored the clones, pounded his face in, you'll be amazed how KB prevents him from summoning more clones)
Kat/regen scrapper (ignored the clones, pounded his face in)
Bot/traps MM (ignored the clones, as it was my first time through, actually didn't even realize he had clones, and just debuffed him into nothing and pounded his face in)
Emp/psi Defender (duo'ed it, with a fire/MM blaster. Power boosted fortitude on the blaster and me on clone duty pretty much made trapdoor melt)

So really, stop making things up randomly, and just accept that this was changed because the dev's didnt like people completely taking out the mechanic of the fight. Its not hard, so stop screaming like it is. Heck i've had harder times on the Honoree mission, and even that i mostly just rushed.

Then I tried on my Necro/Dark MM and he went down before I could target his first clone??

So not sure what to think!

I used Oranges and Reds.

Letting him summon lots of clones is just silly.

Was on +2/x3. She's mostly lvl 30 common IOs, a few specials like Steadfast +Def and Miracle +Rec. No sets though. She has Elude, also she has Tough.

This arc can only be done by 50s. If you can't defeat the clones quickly then how do you do tips or radios? The clones are no more powerful than any normal mob anywhere.

This is seriously one of the EASIEST EB fights in the game to solo.

People complaining about are DOING IT WRONG.

That is not petulance, it's a fact.

No, it's not. It works great under Win7. I'm running Win7 Pro 64 bit and it runs much better than it did under XP.

Awesome trailer.

...Yeah, I like that this game has challenges, in particular that it has challenges that aren't strictly insurmountable to those who put some thought into how to get around them, especially if they're not picky about which character they pull it off with.

My Grav/Storm and my MA/Willpower heroes have dropped Giant Monsters, solo. How awesome is that? Doesn't mean it was easy, or quick, but it's doable!

Come to think of it, now that I've got Mu Mastery, I'll have to take another swing at soloing NightStar as an AV on the Grav/Storm, once he swings back to hero side.

I'm usually solo, but I don't mind teaming. If anything, I make sure that when I am about to team, I'm not about to draw fiancée aggro...but don't tell her she's getting a copy of the game for Christmas

Sorry I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Heck if they were active long enough I could see an RMT site deciding to hang onto the account just so they could get those merits in 6 months to a year later.

That's one of the main motivators for the Crazy 88's...blowing tens of billions on meaningless prestige has given a bunch of us a reason to care about making inf again.

It'd be nice if the *game* gave us more ways to destroy inf instead of having to make up our own.
