How do you calculate starting every fight with a dead foe or a built up crit? It'll certainly look different than averaging in BU's +dmg and base crit chances into a linear dps stat.

It does remind me of a mish last night in the Hellforge filled with Slag Piles. Myself and a corrupter were catching up to the team when we got jumped by an ambush / hidden bunch. Of course I jump in and try and attract their attention (come here nice and close so I can Spin and Eviserate ye to death). He quickly dies though and I'm just about to do the same when he shouts out "Quick! Use my corpse as a shield!". Of course I died, but I died chuckling

There's nothing wrong with scrapperlocking because you think you're a big can o' awesome, even if you do die spectacularly in the attempt. But if you do it repeatedly over and over again though then you may have a problem.



Ah Mirelock. Even deadlier than Scrapperlock since it taunts you into dropping into your Squishy form just to trigger or benefit from it. Sticking my "Damage Buff" onto the Combat Monitor was probably the worst thing my WS could ever had done. "Oooh, look at the big number. Time for Nova Form."

I rarely fight anything under +2s so if there is a KB issue with Tremor I haven't seen it due to the level difference. I'll check it out and post what I get, but as I recall both pretty much keep the goons where you want them.

Seismic Smash is a single target big hit with a hold.

Start Burn, hit Fault, then Tremor and watch the flames of justice send the goons to the zig. Depending on the situation you may want to mix the order up a bit, but basically it's all good once you get the goons bouncing.

Thats nice of him . . . . . giving a pre warning to the kicking? Even if i had been lft ALL day and this was the first team i had been invited to, i wouldve just left automatically. Sure hes the leader and in theory gets to decide what happens, but if he has restrictions on team members then he should be the ones sending tells asking for your powers before inviting.

Tenner says you would have been a better tank than the tank himself.

They're a great combo on paper, but in practice a combination of taunt, a taunt/damage aura, and AoEs works better.
