Forgive my ignorance, but what is DDR?

Thanks. I figured that is what I was doing wrong. I was fully slotted for -tohit. That helps.

I have a few WP toons and they never seem as awesome as other people's version. I am thinking I don't use Rise to the Challenge correctly. Is the best slotting for this regen heavy?

Wait, I think I just argued against myself!

There is definitely an ebb and flow to which toons I play the most, but since I began in i3, I have enjoyed trollers immensely. As I have looked closely at my list of toons (I alt a lot, so I have plenty), I am realizing that I really just don't like trollers anymore.

I used to see the debuff option as troller or fender, and I never liked that defenders didn't do much damage, so I went troller because their powers really intrigued me. (I still have several defenders, but didn't like them as well).

I am finding that Doms and Corrs have really ruined trollers for me. If I want the lockdown power, I find I enjoy the damage secondary much more than the support. If I want debuff, I'd MUCH prefer corruptor because of the damage and soloability.

Anyone else feeling this way? Give me a reason to love my trollers again. I went from my fire/rad troller being my "main" to literally never playing that toon anymore.

Have to agree a little with Dechs based on the information. I was fire/fire tanking without any trigger at all at 54/8

Thanks for the input all. I was actually trying to be a little funny. It made me laugh to think that a fire farm doesn't trigger it so I was laughing wondering what in the world could trigger it. I am not asking for any actual exploits, just smiling about it.

Yes, but what are these said exploits. I guess I am saying that since a high xp farm is not considered an exploit (by the nature of MARTy not being triggered), then what the heck IS the exploit? It seems it would have to be pretty major and pretty awesome. (er, I guess I don't mean awesome, or do I?)

I am not a big farmer, I just do it once in a while for something "new" to do. I did two ticket runs yesterday with 4 lowbies. Nothing was triggered and they got great xp while I earned my tickets.

So if MARTy isn't for farms, what the heck is it for? Now I am looking for what really cool thing people can do for xp that would actually trigger MARTy. Is it for large leagues destroying things (no, wait, that is the MSR and still happens).

Do we have ideas/theories of what is so awesome that it would trigger MARTy?

I am not one that hates PUGs they way some do, but lately things have been getting worse for me. People flat out will not listen. Then yell at you for being a jerk because you are trying to implement some sort of strategy. I think it is because the game is "old" and people know what they are doing, but does that mean there shouldn't be any plan?

I was leading a Katie the other day. I literally gave one instruction in the first 3 missions. On the 2nd mission lead out I asked the team to fight their way down while I, the tank, grabbed her and started leading her back. Two people just ignored me and when I called them on why they were following me on said, "I have done this a hundred times, I am good" (obviously I wasn't asking who could survive to katie, so that wasn't the point) and the other said, "you don't need to give orders, just kill." Grrr

I have also had people block me because on Lambda I split people into acid and grenade teams. When they were in the wrong place, I told them (Hey Captain Whatever, you are supposed to be at acids). You'd think I called his mother bad names.

Maybe I am overbearing, but I REALLY don't think so.

OK done with rant.

Like most said, Fire/ is definitely the way to go. In fact, I find it hard sometimes to play my other blasters because of how much damage it does.

I have a Fire/Fire and I didn't enjoy the secondary for fire. The reason was that I didn't think I needed *anything* in the secondary. The toon is not gimped in any way, but I literally only took two of the secondary powers, but I am still a HUGE DAMAGE MONSTER. The good thing about /fire for a secondary on this toon was that I was free to make a lot of other power choices with the power pools.
