Quote:The Titan Weapons Pack is free for a limited time.Originally Posted by New Dawn
I bought them new Titan Weapons like the Purgatory Sword for 0 using the ingame market. -
Just got my TW/EA brute to 22 last night but while leveling I was using DefSweep + Titan Sweep? (the T3 cone) + any of the ST attacks then DefSweep again (momentum then ends) and it looks RIGHTOUS!!!.
Slow build up swing cone, fast huge swing cone with KB, single foe fast SMASH then another fast swing cone. Minions are dead (or very close), the Lt I used the ST on is dead (or very close).
Then another DefSweep and they all die (im now 'wasting' Momentum but I use the roar emote for effect
)
For single targets I use Rend Armor (for the -Def/-Res) then Follow Through for the DoT and Crushing Blow if needed.
None of my attacks have Rech slotted yet (focused on Acc and EndRed then Dam).
End usage has been a bit of an issue but only if I have a few misses.
When I hit all the time (2x Acc enh) I end up with about 25% end remaining.
If I miss and I have to wait in combat for my end to come back the +Def from DefSweep keeps me fine for MOST of the combat (CoT's Boss NE damage aura's REALLY FRICKEN HURT) -
H iall,
tonight Hard wanted to do some trial type content and seeing as I cbf thinking of anything let Hard run the old level 38+ Sewer Trial which I havnt done in a damn long time.
We then attempted a 10 person Lambda but failed pretty hard.
Simply not enough ppl and during the acid/grenade run some ppl went to the wrong section and the acids team (which I was on) was all over the place and we only got TWO acids!!!!!
Yes we know - sucked HARD. -
Bosstone has a good outline above - ill prob be doing very similar with my TW/EA Brute but also including CJ for the (unslotted) 2.5% Def boost. This also allows another LoTG Proc (which at level 50 makes it a 2.86% Def boost if you dont add another Def IO).
My guy is at 21.5 and as soon as I hit 22 (SO's WOOOHOOO) will be upping it to x2 or even x3 to get more mileage out of the AoE's and more +Recharge (and also so when I get Energy Drain get more END and Def).
Mids has the code ALMOST done for TW and the new Incarnate options and should be passing it to the QA people very soon.
<3 Mids -
For the passive Resist powers I look to 3-slot Aegis for the +3.13% F/C Def (for a total of +6.26%).
You can also slot in the Aegis Proc for additional Mez Resistance if you feel the need. -
As another albiet minor reason you can do actual Stealth runs to the end to TP (ATT or Recall Friend) team mates.
While you could Brute_Stealth (run past and ignore the attacks) you can often grab a mob train.
Also for some runs like in Apex or TinMage (the one with the Hydra's) the Toxic damage they pump out can be deadly so Brute_Stealth is not always an option.
As others have said however it is a nice chunck of Def for a small End Cost and it doesnt hurt Fury.
I often think of my /EA Brute as a stalker that can also Tank
-
Its been a cpl of weeks (well 2 but anyway) since my last update which is a shame.
So lets recap.
Monday 28/11 - a Sutter PuG was attempted with 5 ppl but failed at the final 2 AV's as we just couldnt take them down.
It was a first Sutter for some of the team so was a good learning experience for them.
Also in all honesty it was good to fail a TF
WHAT!!??!!!?!!
Well with my regular friends on the game being so kick-mule we rarely fail or have difficulty in whatever S/TF we do. It was refreshing to remember that bad things can happen and what can be done next time to improve our chances.
Monday 5/12 - I organised a LGTF which filled (not surprisingly) fairly fast.
It wasnt a Mo or a speed run just a regular kill whats in our way run.
Two Purples dropped from my wallet which others picked up and have yet to return to me - they were Villains however so I shouldnt be surprised. -
Hi all,
tonight we did the Moonfire TF with a full team in 1hr 16 (not too shaby).
It was a PUG so apart from some people forgetting Rule#1 it went well
-
Hi all,
for the last 2 weeks or so whenever I log in a toon or change zones or exit a mish I get lag for approx 15-30 seconds.
Its not too bad but it is noticable with 'staggering' movement like im dropping frames.
Ive updated my GPU drivers to the most recent version and ensured nothing was being downloaded.
After 30secs the game runs fine until I zone again.
Just me? -
Hi all,
tonight we helped TinMage ( ok okwe did ALL the work and TinMage and the much vaulted Freedom Phalanx did didlt sqau - "Ohhh the Freedom Phalanx Im so in awe" pfft) deal with Bobcat and Neuron.
While we didnt get the Hacker badge (I was too slow in organising ppl to NOT enter the doors) we did get the Kittyc Got Claws badge.
The Army of Neu I think we defeated him too fast before getting 100 of his iddy-biddy pets. Was fun though to see his pets arrive and fall asleep straight away thanks to our Elec Controller
I would liek to thank the following:
Critical Attack (Scrapper)
Faraday's Angel (Controller)
Rishathra Robot (Corr)
Rei Asako (Brute - TLS)
Merriborn (Night Widow)
What RU lookin at? (Controller)
Dark Shadow Thorn (Scrapper)
Tigemerald (Defender)
Ohhh and forgot to add. This was completed in 35 mins 35 secs with 2 deaths. -
ArchChronos here.
After my Lt Focus Fire returned from the mission I gave him as disturbing posibility entered my mind.
Everyone being deposed from their seat of power has some control over Time.
These beings come from various worlds, dimensions and time-lines.
It makes sense to me that it could be 'Time' itself that is guarding its power and flinging the strongest of us from our Thrones (or whatever device you rule from).
This leads me to a further thought - if one were to become so powerful in the art of Time Manipulation would they become a god? The God Of Time? Is in fact the myth of 'Old Father Time' simply a creature that in fact become that powerful?
I need to dwell on this some more - as if Time itself (or Old Father Time perhaps?) is in fact the thing behind all this then I am worried. How do you defeat something so powerful that can simply go back in time to when I am not powerful enough and dispose of me. And why didnt whoever did this to us simply do that? Why are we still alive?
"Focus Fire!!!! Bring me a mug of Arctic Juice"
[[As a flavour idea should all our /Time/ characters take Fly. I mean Time Flies when your having fun right?]] -
Hi _nelz0r,
Justice has a lot of 'Oceanics' in its ranks and as Minotaur said the 'Australia' channel is the place to be
Every Monday and Wednesday nights events are run on Justice (Hero and Villain respectively) - usually around the WST but also Accolade runs, other S/TF, paper/tip missions, etc.
Friday events are run on Exalted if you wish to as well (and are VIP). These are also advertised on Justice.
These events usually form up around 8:30pm EST (or aim to at least)
That being said there is no hassel with multiple events being organised/run at the same time so if you want to do a Villain event on Monday go for it and advertise in channel I wont mind (I run the Monday Hero events).
Each of these regular events has its own thread in the Oceanic Lounge forums. -
Hi all,
tonight the following people helped TinMage Mark II (imagine signing that every day) stop the Praetorians:
Araneae Sicarius (Crab)
Plantatia (Dom)
Radius Prime (Widow)
Phsyconaught (Controller)
Burn and Subdue Dom)
Mis Chief (Corr)
Crabbie Cakes (Crab)
Fivetide (WarShade)
We completed the TF within 43 mins and with 5 deaths (one of which was due to a d/c as soon as that toon TP'd into the AV WW - bad timing).
We barely missed the Hacker badge but got the Army of Neu and Kitt's Got Claws badges.
Thanks to all. -
Ummmm yes... well... ahem.
After careful consideration (and a lot LESS alcohol in my system) I came to realise that taking on Plantatia at this TIME and place was not the best thing to attempt.
So instead I faked a medical emergency and didnt show up (what, you'd expect me to just stand there in from of The Plant after my threat? Im a Villain not some Lawful Stupid Hero). I made a small cubby in the base and stashed myself there - not even Plant knows where it is
-
Hi all,
last night we ran a 1st Hero Respec (aka Borespec). Well it was the WST
Australia Channel wasnt overly interested so I had to also broadcast in Justice United and ended up with a full 8 person team.
Only a single death and that was likely due to a PeaceBringer being spawned on in the Reactor and a Quantum getting a quick one-shot kill (or 90% damage and the other mobs getting their kicks in).
Completion time was 51 mins - not the fastest ever but we weren't exactly OMFGRUNZ through the trial.
Thanks to all who turned up. -
Ive got an Ice/Stone currently at 43 and having heaps of fun.
This tank has lots of mitigation with 2x KB (KU) powers and -rech.
Also has effectively 2x Damage aura's with Icicles and Chilling Embrace (CE by itself doesnt do damage but Ive slotted it with the Impeeded Swiftness %Dam proc).
Killing tough targets does take time but in groups is awesome
Id love a EA/ Tank when they proliferate that set (please with TW). -
As an option for the Alpha you could look at Nerve Core Paragon.
Your attacks accuracy are a bit low for high level or iTrial content (or running at +3 even which you may not do.
In addition you will get approx +3.7% Defence.
My current SD/BA tank (build is being looked at again to see if I can improve it) has around 53% Def to all 3 positions which helps with iTrials and also running +3/+4 ITF's (or even +0/+1 ITFs if your the main agro holder - CDF can hit VERY fast). -
The problem Ive found with using the search-fu is that it doesnt work.
If someone posts a build for a DM/SR brute good luck finding it.
Type in the search field DM/SR (and we KNOW those exist) and you get nothing.
Either the search-fu doesnt allow 5 or less characters or doesnt like the '/'. Either way our default way of referring to powersets is in this fassion %primary%/%secondary% so the search should be changed to allow these terms to be found.
I think what should have happened (but I can see why it didnt) is all current "build review" posts should have been moved to this new forum. If someone has a post that isnt a build review but instead a powerset or AT discussion they could submit for it to be put back. -
and Metacore becomes the ruler and deposes Plantatia in a coup.
LONG LIVE METACORE!!! HOOAHHHH HOOAHHHH HOOAHHHH
With that in mind Im hoping we can do some of our 2ndary toons to get them levelled up also.
In addition this will allow our ONLY melee toon 'Royal Guard' to buff up as we are sorely in need of some aggro management (and I dont mean Jamie Dunn). -
Hi all,
last night @Hard ran 2 (at least) villain 1st Respecs.
We tried the "Avoid CoT and Kill Vines" approach but by the end I think over 50% of the CoT were dead as we had to ahem "defend" ourselves from their attacks.
After Plant lead a ToT team. We also did the special Halloween Tip mission and took down Eochai in GV.
That was it for me for the night but I belive Jack In Irons spawned just after I logged out. -
Just as an idea Id drop School of Sharks for Spirit Shark so you trade off 1 AoE for a ST.
Also if you have enough Recharge which you should do with Hasten then often all you will need is 2-3 ST attacks as they recharge fast enough that by the time your 2-3 attack has gone off the 1st has recycled.
On my Crab build that is in progress of buying the IO's I only have 2 ST attacks slotted with Spirit Shark as a single slot so I could unlock Arctic Breath. Even against a single tough enemy (Boss, EB, AV, etc) where you dont want to be spaming your AoE's you will still want to be using Venom Grenade for the -Res so any gaps is ur ST chain will be somewhat alleviated with VG.
One other thing (just quick) CT:O. Some people love it and others hate it as a wasted pick as you also get TT:L. Either way if you want it 2 extra slots is overkill - only use the default single and move the others elsewhere.
Find a area to focus on and build for that. I aimed for Ranged Defence as I hover Crab to keep out of melee where possible and Recharge for the AoE's to come back faster.
And something I just saw you will NEED Stamina 4 slotted and Health AT LEAST 2 slotted for the Numi/Miracle procs (ideally 3-4 slotted).
Crabs are END suckers - even with the Cardiac Alpha at 50. -
Hi all,
last night was a quiet one in game with not much happening in Channel so I joined Randomice and Crazed Drifter for some lowbie missions on Exalted.
We did some papers and then a Bank Mayhem. It was a fun Bank mish but there were also quite a few deaths and a few team wipes - due to to number of debuffers (all of us) and no melee/aggro magnet to take the focus. And it was at +1 for a team of 4 squishies - those Flashbangs and Glue grenades the PPD use SUCK!!! -
Im expecting to start rolling out the respec after I get 90% of all the IO's needed as Im really wanting to focus on my Crab for Incarnate powers so depending on how busy I am this weekend (real life does exist after all) it should be done soon.
And if its a wreck simply do another respec and post the changes and why
Thanks to Bronze Knight and Two_Dollar_Bill for their input. -
Hi all,
tonights +4 MoITF was a resounding success
Done in 1:27 we even had a Purple drop for some lucky *******.
I would like to thank the following toons for the time and effort and teamwork:
Araneae Sicarius (Crab)
Pion Wave (Controller)
Lady Levee (Defender)
Simon Self-Sacrifice (Tank)
Rishathra Robot (Blaster)
Incendiary Chick (Controller)
Mis Chief (Blaster)
E u r e k a (Scrapper) -
I had a look at teh activation/recharge times and you are right with only Channelgun and Longfang I shouldnt need another ST attack.
Ive still kept the Spirit Shark attack so I can get Artic Breath and just added an Acc/Dam IO incase I get -Rech and have a gap.
I moved those slots to:
1x Channelgun (added the Devastation %Hold proc)
1x Frag Grenade (moved the Force Feedback %Rech proc from Kick)
1x Hover (Karma -KB) - this gives me a total of 8 pts of -KB. I was also considering the Kismet +6% Acc but my current Acc and -Def attacks should be fine.
