Quote:Seekers also has a -DMG debuff.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
I've never played a Corrupter but I do have both an AR/Dev blaster and a Traps/AR Defender. With that in mind here are my responses:
3. Seeker Drones are a bit odd. Basically you summon two drones at a target point which will move towards the nearest enemy and explode causing minimal damage, a perception debuff, a to hit debuff and a chance to stun. I'd say take them, the debuffs aren't as convenient as Flash Arrow or Smoke Grenade but the chance to stun can prove useful (if unreliable). Finally, the seeker drones are pets, this means that when you summon them enemies will try and attack them so they are an awesome way of handling NPCs alpha strike.
4. PGT has a mag 3 hold. Since it has a chance to reapply the hold every second it can mez bosses due to stacking holds but it's not a reliable means of doing so.
PGT gets more value with the lockdown proc. -
Cool, thanks.

Getting canes and merits does not necessarily mean Badge credit as well. It's been shown many times with several GMs that you can earn merits without inflicting enough damage to get the badge. The "10%" rule is just a standard people use to ensure badge credit, but the actual value may be less than that.

Is it possible to spawn him solo?

It has been minimal 10% damage to any Badge giving NPC out there

Honestly, I solo all of my toons to some extent, and although he's not the best, my Emp/Energy is anything but lacking solo, I've posted the vids of him soloing many times.
I know, extreme example because *gasp* I took and slotted attacks, but that's where the fun is. -
Bright sonic dispersion, some dark armor customs makes me nauseos.
A friend has problems with red dispersion. -
Quote:11-14 is guaranteed kingsOriginally Posted by marc100
I had a level 9 toon in KR and did radio missions and got the Atlas Park bank mission. Completed it and got my jet pack (yay!)
then I did 3 more radio missions and hit level 10, then for the bank mission I got Protect Atlas Park bank AGAIN!
I thought that the second time I would get Protect Kings Row, but it was Atlas park again.
I did the mission and didnt get any reward, because I already had the jet pack.
I want the jump pack now lol -
I just think a +4 chief soldier was a poor example.

Quote:Your defender is not your scrapper.Originally Posted by Ultimo_
As I say, it's not that I can't solo, it's that it's disproportionately hard on the Defender.
As an example, I have no qualms about attacking a +4 Chief Soldier with the Scrapper, but I'd never dare with the Defender. The Scrapper has the health the defense and the offense to make the stand. The Defender has none of these. With Dispersion Bubble and Manuevers running, he'd have only 20% or so Defense, which is woeful when fighting a boss, especially when you have no resistance and low health to absorb the hits you will take. I've seen Force Bolts bounce off Chief Soldiers, and they stubbornly refuse to stun. That means the bubbles are my defense. Now, I can hover, which is wise since they do GOBS of damage in melee, but one shot from a Chief Soldier will seriously injure the Defender. The Scrapper can usually soak it up.
The whole idea is to level the playing field somewhat.
As for the endurance issues, I can't imagine using my powers as you suggest. I have Stamina triple slotted and two end reductions in all my attacks and wuold use 90% of my endurance if I attacked as you suggest (well maybe not quite that, but pretty close). Endurance balancing is a whole different thread, though. -
I only have the 5 purples left so i might as well post the build as it´s performing well enough for me. Nothing special really its a jack-of-all-trades build with some purps
Traps is fully capable of soloing most level 50 avs with just cap ranged but i wanted the extra oomph.
Gonna respec soon though to tweak it a bit but not sure when and what i´ll do

Quote:Toebombing pgt and mortar doesnt really take that long.Originally Posted by Nihilii
I'm not sure static fights against tough targets has ever been the perceived issue. For some unknown reason to me, people tend to believe radiation is the only powerset with regen debuffs , but that's not specific to traps - every other debuff powerset is affected.
What seems to be the problem for many players I've met who dislike traps is the static nature of most of the powers make them believe it doesn't mesh well with steamrolling teams.
Besides, as someone who builds every alt to be able to solo AVs, I can tell it doesn't necessarily translate to being efficient on teams. In one situation, you need good personal mitigation or great holds, and strong ST damage or strong regen debuffs ; in the other, you'll want great AoE damage, fast debuffs, team buffs or aggro control. It's really two completely different games, and while some builds can be good at both, by itself being good at one of these two things doesn't mean being good at the other one.
I havent really had problems with steamrolling teams as that allows me to run ahaead and prep with seekers, pgt, mortar.
My build is not optimised for this. It´s a teaming build that just happens to be able to perform these things.
eDIT:
I know that there are faster debuffing sets but it was more intended for those who spends an hour just so can they get a kin or rad or healor. -
I would like -dmg debuffs added in siphon and hula hoops. If thats not possible, lower the end cost. I played a sonic/rad to 50 and it wasnt very fun as i like to attack and use my secondary.

Quote:Yeah want it for my defiant trapper, also i think its nice have stealth io´s early.Originally Posted by Rent_
TRTerror, any reason why you want a level 25?
Other than the toon you want it on only being 23.
Having to wait to 47 isnt really cutting it for me. -

In other news, a pickup truck has worse cornering than a Porsche 911, worse gas mileage, it's worse for picking up chicks and neither one has a back seat. If it wasn't for the ability to throw 1500 lbs of bricks in the back there'd be no reason to buy one at all.

Quote:That was why i said its still probably good set.Originally Posted by Silverado
Yes it was, but...
This.
My dislike for storm is only playing it after the change as i experienced it pre changes.
I dunno how to clarify so i´ll try to give an example.
If i were to make a dm brute optimised for single target dps(not thinking about survivability) i wouldnt include siphon life.
I really dont like the dpa numbers but... The heal is very good but most of all i like the animation the way you draw the life out of your oponents.
If there was a forced change to the animation i would probably not touch dm at all.
Storm is a good set but i have difficulties playing it now
Its slowly getting better with my thug/storm thanks to power customization though.
I hope i made it clear enough. -
Quote:Thank you.Originally Posted by Katten
Is it at all possible to record some segment of these fights and upload? I've seen scrappers solo plenty of AV's, but the defender/corruptor AV/GM Soloers have tended to use pictures. I know the file size is very large sometimes on tough fights, so even a small snippet of the flow of the fight would be very interesting.
Also, congrats on your first GM, very impressive. Makes me want to try a Traps/Son out and believe that's sign of a job well done. (the overlapped triage beacons actually look awesome)
I´ve tried capping but i cant get wegame to work and hd does not like fraps.
I´ve been looking at an external hd with good speeds but dunno yet.
Until i can figure out a solution i hope that my mashing of print screen button and poorly worded explanations in engrish is sufficient proof that traps is a very powerful set and shouldnt get refused in teams just because it isn´t rad or kin.
I always had a monster hunter concept in the back of my head but could not do it the way i wanted to until traps was introduced.
I wasn´t really planning on documenting my pokemonish quest around coh but seeing people calling traps a poor set on live servers and that it hadnt enough debuffs/buffs and other nonsense pretty much started this thread.
Also it feels to good to write out what i was fdoing so i can see what i was doing wrong and adjust. -
Quote:Sorry for the necro but yeahOriginally Posted by JWatt
I think that a Traps/Sonic Defender would have enough debuffs, but not enough damage to hurt a GM.

I liked the vids but
Quote:is a bit too much. Earth is capable of some nice dps and seismic stacked is nice./Earth is officially the new AV killer
But its all smashing damage and you lack damage buffs outside of assault.
/Fire hast the highest single target dps. /Mental could probably solo gm´s(i think its been done but not sure). -
Oh i thought this was about the sets in PvP. Sorry.,

To contribute.
I would like FF shields and Dispersion to grant defdebuff resistance so it would have something unique.
EDIT: Pet sounds fun, might even play another sonic.
