One last thing is that I looked into when Bodguard Mode came 'round and it was round the time i7 came out as I recall correctly that i6 was when villain side was introduced. I guess an issue into it they may have had bodyguard mode in mind and didn't get it ready in time for the release.
But, if they were truly supposed to be Tankers redside they would have given Taunt to MMs instead of Brutes. -
Quote:Same hp cap as Tankers as someone else had pointed out. Not sure that MMs were meant be the Tankers of redside as bodyguard mode wasnt implemented into the game when redside came out. MMs can prob take the initial alpha better than a Brute but it cant maintain it.Originally Posted by DechsKaison
Ahh, good point. All the regen in the world will still fall flat on its face with a big enough alpha.
My question about HP numbers still stands. Do brutes have similar HP to scrappers or tankers? Are the HP caps different?
Also, brutes, try as they might, are not tanks. That's why villains have masterminds
. If the alpha strike issue is what keeps regen from being ported to tanks, it shouldn't stop it from going to brutes.
Not in any way to side track. -
Quote:For a /WP to do that is quite impressive. I've always assumed /Invuln to take alpha alot better over /WP. Situation reminds me of when a LRSF went bad and had to face the wrath of all the heroes minus, Numina. I ported to base to grab a tray full of large purples with my SS/Invuln and popped one and another just before it started to wear out while our /Stone would pull a hero off one at a time through the rest of the TF.
Even for tankers, the benefits of Inv over WP aren't that big, even in "extreme" circumstances, for evidence of that, watch Powerforge's vid. Tanking 10 AVs solo is more extreme than you are going to get in any of the normal content.
I dont think you can go wrong with either /WP or /Invuln -
I think with Elude/Retsu you'll get 45-47% Defense. No way to soft-cap in a PvP environment without a Tier 9. Mids is WAY out-dated to base numbers off of it.
Can't recall how much Elusivity factors in... -
My personal preference is to use it at the peak of my fury bar for max damage before starting my attack chain.

Quote:The OP had asked for any objections before running ahead on his own with fair warning. Some people may take offense or bruise their ego when a Scrapper is holding the teams hand throughout the mission. Sounds like a 12 year old who was playin' the Stone/ role as it probably would have taken 2 1/2 hours going at his pace.Originally Posted by Xemulas
Props to this.
To the OP:
I'm sorry to hear that you got kicked from the team, but to be frank, I can't abide people like you on any task force that I run, especially if you were the last place (to make up numbers) amongst a group of friends.
It sounds like that tank had never run the ISF before, so it's his first time. Some people enjoy seeing the content, enjoying the missions, and taking their time and having fun. Your approach was to rush ahead, ghost everything possible, and fill every possible role in the team on your own, as if you were soloing it. It's no wonder you got kicked when the final straw was that you went ahead and tried to solo the only thing the team leader cared about.
Have a little empathy and think about what the whole team wants, instead of crying on the forums when your selfish behaviour gets you what, imo, you completely deserve
Edit: Team Soloers may be a bit of a pet peeve of mine
For a Stone/ to wonder if they can tank Romi is pretty laughable when they forget that they need to tank for the team, as well. -
Quote:I don't have mids here at the moment. I spec'd mine to cap max hp (fell a lil short) with Dull Pain. Just curious how much you squeezed into it. I'd share mine but its nearly half slotted with PvP recipes.
Here's my SS/Inv brute who I have an abosulte blast playing. I built her to push the HP cap, withstanding as much punishment as possible, soak it all into Fury and deliver the hurt on foes.
I just need to get the Obliteration set, one more LOTG 7.5 and replace the Ruin in Mu Lightning with three from the Apocalypse set for the 3% HP and I think I'll be set
Managed to pick up 3,157hp on SS/Invuln Brute. -

What? It's not like there's anything else to do. They had to take the servers down to fix the monkeys.
*points to the servers*
... where did those monkies throwing <bleep!> all over the server room come from... ? -
So...

Damn, I been busy compared to you fellas. I didn't level any of my toons but got 5x of Mrs.T's toons to level 50 from the teens 'cept for one thats been 42 for a over a year. Not sure what the heck I'm gonna do after this next Double XP event when i16 rolls 'round the corner.
Played most of friday and all of saturday and got 2 hours worth of play time on sunday just before midnight.
/cheers -
Some damn good reading material in here.
*grabs some popcorn* -
Quote:You can get away with 1x Res IO and be capped at 90% so you can either use the slot elsewhere. Once your build is nearly complete you can get away without Unstoppable with 1x slot or skip it entirely for something else.
Unstoppable: 4 slot with either 2 recharge and 2 resistance or else 4 slot it with Impervium Armor. -
Knockout Blow and Footstomp eats a ton of end when used back to back repeatedly. My build is completely IO'd and it can still chew through endurance. When Footstomp is out of the equation you can go all day with a full bar. Just don't spam it every chance that its up and you'll be up to speed for the next mob.
- Miracle: +Recovery
- Numina's: +Regen/Recovery
- Performance Shifter: Chance +Rec
- Panacea: Chance +Heal/Rec
I'd shoot for these as they've helped me a lot with my build. -

I dont think Power Boost will do you any good. I'd pick up Leviathan Mastery for Hibernate.
[/ QUOTE ]
Power Boost effects Benumb's -Special bringing it from -55.875% to -90% (the -special cap, actually raised to -99.833% before cap).
Power Boost also effects the -Def in Sleet and Infrigidate, as well as boost the hold duration of freeze ray and the -ToHit in bitter ice blast. It also increases the -End/+End aspects of Heat Loss. It also increases the -SPD component on all slows. It also boosts Tactics, Manuevers, Aim(Tohit only) and Vengeance by a significant amount.
Arctic Fog, Ice Shield, Glacial Shield, and Frostworks are the only Ice/cold powers that have absolutely no benefit from Power Boost.

I stand corrected :-p
Just +recharge sets like Posi Blasts, Decimations, LoTGs 7.5s. -

The only one who can still hit me from below the platform is Manticore, so that's why I always take him out first.
[/ QUOTE ]
You're brave. I always have Manti and States last. When they both seem to wake up they activate some leadership toggle that negates sleeps for the rest of them for a short time. -
Where does Infinity reside? I'm from Florida o.O

Anyone have this workin' on their setup?

MMs need a nerf bat to the face.

School of Sharks > Sleet > Ice Storm > Heat Loss > Blizzard
Hit a small blue and Hibernate -- your end will recover dependin' how large the mob is been affected by it. Mob'll wither away under your power and done safely.
If you spec for recharge can have it up every other mob as well as have Hibernate up every minute. Perma Sleet and Ice Storm is nice. Using School of Shark helps keep mobs inside the AoEs 'cause they tend to disperse and scatter under the chaos. -

Plus, yes it's one time use, but it's permanent for all intents and purposes. Shivans last only a few minutes.
[/ QUOTE ]
I propose shivans be 1x time that last the duration of the mission or upon my death and mini-blasters last a few minutes with 5x recharges.
Seems fair
-
Well, I want a bigger heavy. <bleep!> the small ones.

A buddy of mine mentioned yesterday that he picked up a Mini Blaster from RV and recalled that it only has a one time use. Not that its uber overpowering or anything but any chance you could replace it all together with something more useful for the amount of work and give it more charges?
Gettin' Shivans in 8m with 5x charges beats workin' for a Mini Blaster in RV for 30-60m.
No? Okay, thanks anyways.
Oh, another thing any way you can do this without havin' to go into a PvP Zone? Cool
/sarcasm -
Be funny for the devs to spend a day or two investigating this chance to do double damage phase to find nothing. Ya guys gonna tell em its just a joke and get back to work on i17?
Good job, CoX community we had a good laugh ha ha -
I have 138.75% on my Mind/Psi without Hasten (208.75% with Hasten) and ya have about a 5-6s window to single-target sleep the heroes you missed.
The PBAoE sleep from Earth/ isn't the best choice for sure. Since it attracts aggro they have a chance to take a shot at you before fallin' asleep since you're that close.
They can even take a shot at you from Mesmerize but it has a good range and never can get a shot at you if you poke your head from outside the platform in between applications. -
26.83hp/s before Dull Pain
