Tufty

dont know the exact figures for tar patch but i'm sure ive heard somewhere it lowers resistance by 20%. so if at lvl 6 u do 20dmg, with tar patch it'd be 24, at lvl 12, 30 dmg would be 39 with tar patch etc. at least i think that is how it works.

the effect also stacks if u put down multiple patches so it is recommended that u slot with 3 recharges first then add slows if u want them.

my corrupter is sg-less at the moment (despite the thousands of blind invites ive had ) so i'll poke someone at some point when i'm on.

Gekho is his name, sonic/thermal powersets

well its tuesday again. i cant see any reason why i wont make tonite.

i cant make next week tho (10th). gf's b'day and i dont think she'd b too happy if i were to spend it playin

congrats to u all

if i'm on when u do it i'll help out matey. just give me a shout if i'm not on as tufty and i'll switch.

sorry to hear it

but at least everyone is ok and thats the main thing. hope u and ur family have a good xmas

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone

never used it but i have heard that health from the fitness pool is enough to stop the hp drain. done some forum searching about the scrapper version and apparently it will only effect minions so cant see it bein much use in pvp

er.. if i am on it'll only be about 7-8pm.

thursday tends to be a 'watch things recorded from last nite with the gf' nite.

Anyone else got a lvl 30+ alt? We can do a couple of sidekicks

off the top of my head...
Mid/GForce has Raylin a lvl 36 kinetics
Precip/Dave has Dagar lvl 34/35 scrapper
Skewer/Jersey has Guise lvl 36(?) blaster
Soundstorm/Chillblaze has Chillblaze lvl 34/35 blaster

then as Ducky has said hes got a low 30 blaster,
Antibody's/Rockers main at the moment is Afro Storm.. about lvl 26 stormie.

So we've all got chars there or there abouts it would seem

I've just been so good this last couple of weeks playing my now lvl 38 scrapper (he hit lvl 36 about 6 months ago!)

Tufty is at 37.. we will have to team at some point


and with the other alts.. i've got a lvl 1 sonic/ice blaster, Gekho, sittin in front of miss liberty. if i'm around at any point durin next week (most likely to be weds or thurs) and u want to team then give me a shout

u dont need to get to 16 before next tuesday. We will sk u up, so just do as much as you can and we'll sort something out when the time comes.

Other than that.. i may be on for an hour or so on saturday mornin whilst the gf is workin, so i can sk u up then, doubt i'll be on much before then tho.

i'd probably have to give it a miss if its all gonna be done on weekdays, i could probably make it but i can never commit to anythin.

mondays tend to be fine, tuesdays are a no as i have the all-defender team to attend, weds generally ok, thurs not really.. normally watch threshold and lost, fridays meh, depends what i'm doin.

saturdays and sundays between like 12-3pm would suit me best.

yeah good idea.. i often cant commit for many hours to complete a tf but still want to do some. Be happy to join as either tufty (lvl 37 dar/dark def) or Phyria (lvl 26 kat/da scrapper). the only problem is that you cant space the meeting times out very much (i.e. cudnt do half a tf one saturday and the next the following), well i say cant.. u cud but it may put people off as they wudnt be able to do anythin else other than street hunt until the tf was finished.

well we need a FF defender.. personally i dont have any objections to you joinin. If your happy just putting bubbles around everyone with the occasional blast then i'm sure it'll be fine

as long as the primary set is FF the secondary can be anythin, altho afaik we dont have a psychic blaster so maybe a FF/Psy would be good.. but as i said u can go FF/Rad/dark/elec if u wanted

nope.. i'm Rad and around most weeks. Our TA, afaik, is yet to miss a week.

we only need a replacement FF, so if your available tuesday evenings from 7-9pm and want to make a FF def alt then i'm sure ud b welcome to join us

15 afaik.

could start synapse on 17th then if everyone is available and up for it. it'll give a new bubbler 3 weeks to get up to the min lvl which shudnt be too hard in that time.

any pics yet?

Are people up for starting synapse after xmas? personally i wouldnt mind making this a TF team. my time tends to be fairly limited and I havnt had the chance to do many TFs before so this gives me a good oportunity to experiance them. But of course its up to everyone else, i'm happy slapping trolls if thats what we are going to be doin

I shall return to the team on 3rd January.

oh yeah.. we need to get a bubbler up to the correct lvl before startin synapse so may have to wait a week or so.

from what i've heard ice/* is a pretty good all rounder. possible the strongest set up until lvl 32.

After lvl 32? Granite Armour from stone/* is easily the best.. if u dont mind to -speed bits.

i'm sure someone with more experiance with tanks will confirm

just got 1 or two questions i'd like people opinions on with the Dark Armour power set. My scrapper is mainly goin to be a PvP build aswell.

main question is what would people recommend out of Cloak of Fear or Opressive Gloom. Now i've read thru many posts on the US boards and still havnt come to a decision about which to use. It seems pointless having both as they basically do the same thing.

things ive considered with each:
OG- apparently it drains hp's but its very minimal and can be countered by taking health. I've also heard that it needs less slots to be effective. Bad things ive heard about it include that it doesnt effect lts or bosses (would it actually work in PvP then?) and obviously when things are stunned they tend to wonder away. Also heard that it costs less end than CoF.

CoF. Again i've heard that against minnions its fine, and once its slotted (requires alot of slots to be effective) can keep them feared for a good amount of time. Can be a bit iffy vs lts or bosses (altho i've also heard that altho it may not fear them as long as it hits the -acc still applies to them), so again would this work in PvP. (i'm kat/da not dm/da so cant get fear effects to stack either).

Now I'm quite a lazy player in the sense that i will turn all my toggles on and just leave them runnin regardless, this includes death shroud. Now with the defender fearsome stare the feared enemy will only attack once it has been attacked, but i've also read on some fear powers that they will attack randomly, which is it for CoF? if i've got death shroud running are they still goin to be constantly attacking me? (at -acc of course)

so which is better? CoF or OG?


another question.. we all know that some power descriptions are out of date and i've just taken cloak of darkness. now in the description it says it also helps resist immob. is this still the case? or would it still be worth picking up combat jumping aswell?

u didnt read the sig did u afro

unfortunately i cant commit and say yes i'll be ok to finish the whole thing. anythin passed 9:30 is really a no-no so depends on if its willm take longer than 2 and a half hrs to do.

but again, same thing as me missin a week, if i have to go thats my decision and my problem, if everyone wants to stay and complete it then so be it. I'll help out for as long as i can but when u gotta go u gotta go!

well thats not an option then. i'd possible be back for the wednesday but cant guarentee it. fri/sat/sun again may be around may not so cant guarantee i can commit to anythin then.

so its lookin as if you either

a) do tf without me
b) we have a week off

as i said i'd be disappointed not to finish the tf but i understand if peeps want to finish it and wudnt be mad about it. its only a game and if i'm that bothered about it i'll just do the tf with another team.

the only suggestion i can think of is just to try and stick with it until you can get DO's (not long now) and test again. its been a while since my tank turned lvl 12 but from what i can remember havin 3 dam res DO's in my armours seemed to make a difference. before then i remember feeling a bit squishie.
