You can also try this guide, which uses the arena icons. I can't personally vouch for it, but I'm told by others it works.

I've soloed a Dark/Dark/Dark defender to 50. It was a little slow but very, very safe.

My fastest soloers were either scrappers or certain controllers (Ill/Rad and Ill/Storm). As Laevateinn said, you can find combos that solo well in any AT. Fun is just as important as speed, so my advice is to play around and find something you like.

Well, my sister's mother-in-law plays. I don't know her exact age, but she is least 65.

Is it possible to change the color of that the rocket boots fire? I thought it was determined by the secondary color of the boots but no matter what I do, the fire still has the same bluish-white color.

I recently changed my costume and now the boots are bugging me. Somebody please let me know one way or the other so I can stop obssessing!

Female player, over 40. Characters by gender:

22 female
21 male

I know 9 people in RL who play (or used to play), 3 of them are female.

Defenders are one of my favorite ATs.

Saitada: 50, Dark/Dark/Dark (Love it because it plays like a controller, my other favorite AT.)
Bleak Sky: 50: Storm/Dark/Power (Also very controller-y.)
Flutterby: 41, FF/Psy/Psy (I get gleefully brave on this one. My nephew calls her "Flutterdeath.")
Minerva Medica: 38, Emp/Arch (I like to solo, even my defenders. Not my favorite combo for that.)
Linac: 27, Kin/Rad (Fast-paced fun.)
Ban Sidhe: 26, Dark/Dark (Part of a regular team that stalled. I liked it so much I made another and pretty much soloed it to 50.)
Reveille: 10, Sonic/Sonic (Still getting the feel of this one.)

There are some other combos I'd like to try but I haven't gotten around to them...yet.

My favorite toon is a fire blaster. I don't see a problem with DoTs. I know him well enough to be able to turn my attention to another foe so the DoT is wearing off. The only "problem" is that many players get into the mindset of "hit it until it's dead" and keep blasting regardless of the fact that the DoT will finish the job. An enemy might get one additional hit in on you, but that shouldn't be a problem.

And DoTs can be used to your advantage, especially if you're solo and can control what gets hit. When fighting Nemesis, I got very adept at timing DoT attacks so that both Lts drop dead at exactly the same time. Nobody gets vengeance up around my fire blaster.

And I followed you right in. Yes, it is AR.

I can't speak for AS but I am really enjoying my elec/elec blaster at level 38. It took a while to get things slotted for endurance drain but I think it was worth the wait. The play style is completely different from anything else I've run and it's been fun to experiment.

Today, I sapped Jurassik dry and kept his blue bar zeroed almost the entire fight. I was the only one draining. One of my teammates wanted to marry me. Apparently, sapping is sexy.

I agree with Eneryman. Sapping and the holds give you pretty good control, which helps the survivability factor when I'm solo. And I'm solo a lot.

I'm looking at the Facebook page and there is stuff on Issue 16 and Comin-con. I thought this was the "official" page.

People are going to farm no matter what. In general, I try to ignore it. But the magic internal reset button in the OP's post is just over the top. I find it ridiculous that some people are so addicted to XP these days that they can't take 30 seconds of downtime to reset a mission.

Apologies, BBQ. I did reply to you, but my post wasn't directed at yours. I then edited it to make that clear. I should have quoted the OP in the first place. I usually do, just spaced it this time.

What if there was a setting that made it so that when you have cleared a map completely of enemies,and after killing the last enemy,the map resets itself,ready to be farmed again with all enemies reappearing on the map?You wouldnt have to leave and reset the mish at all!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry. All I can picture is people going from 1-50 wearing diapers because they never had to leave the mission, not even for a bio. Geez, get out of the farm and get some air.

Edited for context.

end drain works just fine on its own its somthing your toon has to skot for a lil less dmg for the fact the enimes cant atk as much i did the itf last nite we had me an elec blaster and elec brute and a third elec i forget what but the mobs never had end so the spent thier time running aroud waiting got that 1 atk even the EB's had this problem. but thats with 3 ele types you need to be able to do this all the time with just 1 toon the end drain dont help u much when they die 2 sec l8er it huts pc's cuz it slows down the next battle but is to short lived an effect for battles that last 5sec....

Oh yeah, a group of Elec's can do wonderful things. The Repeat Offenders network has a group "Dont Whiz on the Electric Fence" who form superteams of end drainers.
I think I heard that they drained Lusca once?

Come to think of it, me and a PUG member drained the Winter Lord once, I think, me on my Kin/Elec Defender, and he was an Electric/something Blaster.

But you're right - with one drainer the damage always outpaces the end drain.

I was on a GM PuG yesterday with my elec/elec. Myself, another elec blaster, and a kin drained both Eochai and Jack dry in just a few seconds. They stood there twitching until they were defeated. (I took some screenies but my screenshotui was off. )

Having seen what a PuG can do, I have no doubt a specialized team could drain Lusca.

Welcome to the game!

In response to your questions, toon is just another name for character.

By profile, I assume you mean your account. You can have multiple characters from your own account in your SG but you will need someone's help to invite them unless you have a second account.

I can't speak as to to any "light" powers being in development. However, energy, fire, or peacebringer powers have always filled this bill for me.

Bad Team bingo anyone?

Bookmarked for the next PUG I join.

Yep, I did know that. Was just missing the lovely green CLICK HERE text.
