Is there another link to the zip in the OP, no longer seems to be there for me....

[ QUOTE ]

However, there was special code added for AVs that alows them to ignore Taunt sometimes. I can't remember how it works, but there where a lot of complaints when it went in.

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I recall they simply made Taunt no longer auto hit on them...
Could be wrong here.

Collectively they all have a valid point however.

OP:how do you maximise def and resistance?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is not what his original question was.

[ QUOTE ]

So my original post. Im actually Fire/Fire. I know this isnt a brilliant set for a tanking


[/ QUOTE ]

Fire is a greatly underrated tank set.
Although be aware that a lot of your survivability comes from healing flames.

[ QUOTE ]
Def

11.3% across the board. (Can get this to 15% if I change my travel power, but then I lose flurry and its a great attack IMO)

[/ QUOTE ]

Lose flurry!
Hasten would be a good pick mind, let you get the healing flames back asap.

[ QUOTE ]
Res

70.2% Smashing
70.2% Lethal
46.5% Energy
46.8% Negative
90.0% Fire (actually 140%, but [censored] those evil Caps)
31.2% Cold

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice.

[ QUOTE ]
I feel my Def is a little low, but maybe I would be relying on buffs to get that up? If my numbers seem a little off, its because it took me 3 years in WoW to realise that ALL MMO's are a numbers game if you want to beat the oddss, but I try to have fun in with the mix.... ;p

[/ QUOTE ]

Your resistance and healing flames will be what gives you your survivability.
Don't worry too much about the Def, you would not be able to get enough to make that huge a difference in any case.

Edit:
Just another thought, but if you are only going to be tanking for a duo, then there is no need to maximize defence to that extent.
You just won't need it.

I think blinds are ok in one situation though, in Rikti invasions. In those it doesnt matter what lvl u are, and in the heat of the battle it might be difficult to type a polite tell.

I find the broadcast channel handy here, just broadcast 'invasion team forming at xxxx, send tell for invite'.
Does the job.

Hey all,
I'm arranging a Hess Task Force for Saturday.
This is a good TF, fairly short and usually much fun. Level 25+.
If anyone wants to join message me or post below.
Moog

Alo,
I would be up for it.

Lady Milli, lvl 17 illusion controller.
Could bring any other alt if needed,.,,,

Suicide squad seems appropriate
We should take down Recluse anyway I think.
Anything more would be a good bonus.

I would be interested in giving it a go.

Did consider trying to put a bit of damage buff in there but I wasn't sure it was worth it considering how little the power does. So I just tried to put as much accuracy and recharge in as pos.

Every 10 seconds isn't so bad.. is that just on the 'immob' area or do the vines fire procs as well when they attack?

Hmm, point taken.
I guess I will have to crowbar in Squid somewhere. But that is going to be very tough on slots.

Hey all,
I've been considering slotting this power recently and have a general query...
Has anyone tried damage procs in there and how well do they fire?

I've noticed that it can take 3 damage procs which could put out a lot of damage.

Here is how I am considering slotting the power:
Posi's Blast: Chance of Damage(Energy), Enfeebled Operation: Accuracy/Recharge, IO: Recharge, Trap of the Hunter: Acc/Recharge, Impeded Swiftness: Chance of Damage(Smashing), Trap of the Hunter: Chance of Damage(Lethal)

This would give 53% Accuracy and 92% recharge with a small bonus to immob as a set bonus.
Anyone tried this?

[ QUOTE ]
I think it is going to be pretty painful without the squid

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, I am using the squid at the mo but was hoping to leave it behind at some point and concentrate on human/lobster.


[ QUOTE ]
Too much end mod in stygian circle and you'll want it slotted quicker.

Eclipse wants a LOT more recharge than that.

[/ QUOTE ]

I shall have a tinker..
*wishes for another 10 slots*

Hey all, after getting my Warshade to 16 and having a blast I've decided to keep at it.
Being rather puzzled about the powers/slotting and life I could do with some advice.

Here is a rough build I've started..
It does need a lot I think, the set IOs are mainly there for the enhancement bonus'.
I'm sure they can be greatly improved.
What are your thoughts?

End reduction on bots makes 'em cheaper to spawn, not makes them use less endurance when fighting.

Nope, it's the other way round.
All the slotted enhancements only effect the Bots, not you.

Hmm.. I would go with /ss for me.
Footstomp and KO-Blow just make it.

On the 30th?
If you don't mind another tank I have a lvl 50 Inv/SS tank who would be keen to help out.

Sadly it's players like this that keep me counting the days until I can migrate over to Union where I have seen nothing but helpful players who embrace a diverse set of builds.

There that's better...

[/ QUOTE ]

I play a lot on Defiant and Union and in my experience you find this kind of player everywhere unfortunately.
And I suspect a lot of them are looking forward to migrating to Union too, for the opportunity of more players to teach how to do it proper.

I would be interested in helping out...

I have a Bots/FF Mastermind who would be keen to partake of the spoils

I would love to join.. if you are willing to take another tank along.

Hi there
And welcome.

Hi Claws,
I would be interested in helping out With my Inv/SS tank.
Have done it several times and as Cynic said a well structured team should stomp it flat in no time.
Could perhaps run it at a higher difficulty level...
