I've been properly schooled then. To be honest I never looked at the numbers*, just the fact it had an AoE aggro generator, and assumed they were all equal. Obviously, that old adage about assuming things applies.
Is there any reason why WP's aggro AoE is so bad?
*Just look at my planner :P
I can guarantee I can pull the aggro off any hard working, dedicated, super-motivated Tanker using whatever primary with a Kin/Rad defender as it is.
I don't think the taunt-effects are high enough
Also, Sarrate makes me smile -
I imagine Grey Pilgrim is just twitching to respond to this thread.

Very nice run last night, thanks everyone!
Anyone have a preference for next week's? I'm thinking Hess or Moonfire could be fun.
Beer is a very good close second to Task Forces

My two cents:
- I've played longer than anyone else here who's posted.
- My only tank is DA and I'll never do another one again.
- Never follow Des or Shamster in general.
- Never follow a tank who thinks he's the crux of the team, can't see where everyone else has already gone or is being played by Shamster.
- Regardless of AT, never "wait" for someone else to jump in the obvious group the team is going to fight next if you can handle the aggro. That just gives someone else time to hog all the glory.
- If a particular team doesn't think your AT/powers would add anything to the team, don't take it personally. Sometimes, a 4th Empath is, hopefully, not needed
- Never, EVER, follow Shamster

This always happens when they introduce new powers. Everyone is rolling tanks because they got claws and electric.

It's really not an issue.

Is this gonna mean you want a re-match?

-1 setting currently being "discussed" in the I16 forum.....
They didn't really think that option out thoroughly with the way it's currently working. For everything else, it's nice to be able to use if you are soloing something that actually needs that little bit of an edge. For TFs, it's going to be changed ASAP I'd imagine. -
Quote:They are still hardcoded for AVs....but their levels can change, at least some of them.Originally Posted by ir0x0r
With the new difficulty levels, if you run a TF, do the AVs scale to EBs? Like if I soloed the ITF or something, the end AV, will it still be an AV or an EB?
-
Quote:Yep, doesn't count against it.Originally Posted by Defenestrator
Can you use the -1 setting to get the "Master Of" badges? That would defeat the purpose of being a Master Of anything, wouldn't it?
The "main" AVs tend to be at the max level, but some within the TF can be the -1 level. Not sure if it affects Recluse/Statesman main AVs, but I have a feeling it can.
I mentioned a probable merit nerf while in beta, mainly for the +5 level power useage while exemp'd. I was far far far more useful on a Mantis TF because of that alone than I would have been at the previous level-useage. It might not happen, but I'm not that optimistic. I wouldn't trade in the exemp changes at all though. -
Pretty sure it was the same person. They liked to talk....

Since we don't have a generic raid thread -
Happened upon a raid going on later in the evening. I haven't done a raid at all in probably 1.5+ years now, mainly due to raids not being run late-enough for me. Was laggy as all get-out once we got in the middle but was still relatively fun.
Not sure I like the lifting of the level requirement; even though SK'd, we had at least one sub-30 character on the team and they just couldn't (maybe wouldn't?) do much of anything useful IMO. Died a lot and wanted a TP every time from the hospital (after waiting around several minutes waiting for a rez). Not necessarily every low level character will be like that, and I know there are plenty of 50 players who are, but still. And I believe they did say they were getting merits which seemed odd. I guess I have to re-read whatever the patch notes mentioned about the zone/merits.
And I'd have never seen Rikti Repairmen before. Didn't see the model since it was dead, but the bio didn't say much and I have no idea what their powers were. They should "auto" heal the bombs/AV

I'm just glad that you are actually DOING something with that old, lame-a$$ planner of yours ;P

B) I feel sorry for you if this is true. -
Quote:Well, I was talking about a Merc/Trap.......Mercs are pretty lacking and I need to use Traps as much as possible. Soloing before was boring/tedious as the spawns weren't much to notice, but I still had to use traps to compensate for the Mercs.
But I haven't even tried the mission slider and Voo mentioned traps and a mastermind... I may have to try that with my lvl 50 bots/traps.
Bots don't really need much of anything to help
My Bot/Dark will probably laugh at increased spawns.
-
I've felt they've been kind of skewed since I15 to be honest. The little teaming I've done since I16 had a decent drop rate though, but nothing "good".
-
For those guys I'm leveling up and don't really care for soloing, I'm just gonna do any trial/TF that I can join when available, regardless of lower level or not. I would never have done this before. It's GLORIOUS!
As for other characters, it'd be whatever I'm in the mood to play. I have a glut of things that I just don't get around to playing for various reasons. And now I have 3 - 4 characters I want to run, so other than the random/far-between lvl 50 TFs, it's going to be even longer before I get around to them.
Though with the mission slider now.......a couple of characters are primed for some serious solo carnage for some hopeful purples. Traps MM is fun to play again! -
Never saw a problem with fire and rad going together....though I did make mine a Martian with greenish skin. With colorizing, the imps will be turned greenish now to better match.
Let your inner-RP child out! -

Uh yeah. Excuse the thread jack then. But no, I don't know what Drow is. Don't hate the post count, hate the poster....erm....yeah.

I will gladly go play somewhere else. -

Going through my characters as I have the time, finally started looking at my storm/elec defender. Sweet mother of God, I think stormies will win the award for Most God Awful Possible Looking Color customizations.

I could go all light colors, but that just doesn't work for me. Grav/storm might have some better synergy, but I'll have to wait and see.
Made 10+ bars on my 32 Corr with a TF capped at 25. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT I16 AT ALL
