Patron Powers: Captain Mako - Leviathan Mastery

[ QUOTE ]
Whenever I attempt to zone from warburg to another zone my client crashes. It could be to a mission, from grand to St. Martial, Nerva, or even RV.

I can't test the pool unless I unlock it

Aw man...that's stinks

[ QUOTE ]
I agree. Well, at least ONE Patron Power.

I hope they fix this by tomorrow so the minority who did pick Mako WILL get to finish the Patron arc.

[/ QUOTE ]

I chose Mako, cuz of the not often resisted damage (NE & Tox) and also because it sounds so goofy it has to be cool.
Doesn't it?

The actual mission bug (you get stuck outside of the mission map inside the mission) starts after the first half. After you get the accolade.

But man, I can't continue the arc.. I was getting into the story too!

That timed mission has 2 wardens holding 1 hostage each and an Elite Boss (longbow) right in the middle of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Based upon forum input, it appears that there are at least 3 separate level 40 Mako arcs.

FWIW, the arc I had seemed a little easy. The bosses were each unaccompanied.
I bugged one of them, maybe they'll look at the entire arc. As I've already said, the arc EB, Ace McKnight, is a bad [self-censored].

Note: My Mako arc had 5 or 6 missions to it. Got an SO. Mako told me to come back at level 45. I gotta either do "regular" missions, paper missions, team up or figure out if someone else gives out Mako missions for him (I doubt the latter) until then.

Mine started off with a timed mish which I had to let fail and let him yell at me for. I was really thinking about getting a team to do the missions for me but its like no one wants to even bother team

Well I hate begging so I'll figure out something.

Ok i was on test 4 a long time before i log (and i did not even crash)

Anyway i choose mako and his first mish is in fact timed. The save 2 hostages a spider bot and a mu-person (i did this using my lvl 40 stalker EM/SR)

The first hostage is eazy 2 free he is guarded by a lut and a boss and after u free him he helps u with the others until he dies.

The second is guarded by the boss a few minions and lut and the dreadful EB so i poped elude and kill boss minions and lut first then went to work on EB and i got him 2 half life b4 elude ran out then i died and went to prison( and o yeah watch how u use ET u will need HP because the blast will kill you. NERF the door blast plz)

Anyway on my way bac i asked a friend ask 2 join a EM/Dark brute so we went back to the EB and still got beat and this mish was set to 1 person.

So we had 2 brust out of jail again i got out and helped him then the blast killed me (lol) i manage 2 get out again.

we went bac 2 finish him elude was up so we took him down he was very hard my setting is on second 2 higest difficuly and all were +2 long bows

It was very fun the EB had force field. I like the new purple look 2 it and i never seen this move before but he had a move were he inforced me in a bubble that i could only affect myself (said the new red words in the corner but he still could attack me plus it last like 10-20 secs maby longer) i never played force field b4

and when you dodge or elude attacks it lets you know. cool but the EB rarely misses he had me 2 red even when elude was up 2 much acc

ran it in safe mode, still crashed

Gonna have to go with that lame plan of having ppl do the missions for me. I hope they don't laugh at me too much.

Three?

Wait, so after fighting McKnight, did you get the "Interrogate 5 CoT" mission?

I got my shark baby!

The animation looks kinda like Fulcrum shift with a pause towards the end to release the shark.

When it hits there is a chunk of damage followed by light DoT, kinda like fire blast but with Lethal damage.

I'm gonna do more testing and post some damage numbers and see what I can do with that 1 slot it has :P

Nope. After "McKickYaInDaFace" I called Mako, he let me choose an SO and then essentially told me "that's all punk..come back when you are 45."

Before "McKickYaInDaFace", I had 4 LB missions, which were your typical "gather information/clues/intelligence" types of missions.

[typing out loud here...]
So maybe the multiple lvl 40 arcs aren't exclusive, but rather there are X number of outcomes that are each comprised of X*Y missions.

So some arcs will be similar from player-to-player, some completely different (other than the EB, perhaps) and some will be exactly the same.

Screen Shots NOW!!! I demand it of you!!!

(I got 5 bubs to go. )


Edit: Did it check out against the Dev numbers?

In my excitment I made a noob mistake. Sorry everyone it uses the COMBUST animation.

Testing against an even lvl Bane spider commando UNSLOTTED zero fury

20 damage upfront with 2 dmg DoT. 4 ticks

With Build up ZERO FURY UNSLOTTED

36 damage with 4 dmg DoT. 4 ticks.

Hm, that doesn't seem fair though.

Did you fail the first timed mission? because I did.

Also, I think I did have 4-5 LB missions too.. wait let me see if I can remember..

One was get the files..
One was clear out all the Longbow..
The other was clear out all the Longbow too..
And I remember there was another one somewhere in the middle of those three.. I think..

The last two of the first half of the arc involved me planting bombs vs Knives of Artemis and after, fighting "McTOOEASYKnight". (Ofcourse I fought him with a Brute by my side.)

After that, I got an SO and my Bloodletter accolade from Mako aka the Patron accolade.

Then he praised me and told me something about learning more about what he's about. That "black scorpion likes to.." blah blah.. "lord recluse likes to have statesman's head on a platter".. blah blah.. "On the other hand, I like to.." blah..

And then we're back to the ever so wonderful story of Cthulhu.. I mean.. the Leviathan sleeping under Sharkhead. Hence, the "Interrogate 5 CoT" mission after the "McWHOSYOURDADDYKnight".

Alright more testing with better numbers this time...

Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion(lvl 41) UNENHANCED NO FURY
18.09 Lethal damage
4 ticks of 1.8 Lethal damage

Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion(lvl 41) UNENHANCED NO FURY BUILD UP(slotting 3rech 3tohit if that means anything )
32.75 Lethal damage
4 ticks of 3.27 Lethal damage

Air Superiority Slotting(2acc 2recharge) NO OR VERY LITTLE FURY vs. Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion
27.14 smashing damage

Brawl
10.35 smashing damage

I'll have pics up in a sec.

Ok, so this is the only point at which we differed.
This was where Mako said to me come back at 45.
When I log on this afternoon I'll see if he changed his mind or gives me another ctc.
Logically, there should be another Mako arc contact before 45 since we all pick a power at 44.
I would expect one each level at the very least.

The Build up

Build up 2nd angle

Ready to Launch!

FIRE 1

FIRE 2

Also a guy I met on test server while testing this power, Skrape1, found a way to get around that crappy mission crash bug.

You have to be on a team and as soon as the person with the crash problem enters a mission spam some messages on the team channel. It somehow lets them through.

Edit: Spirit Shark take these enhancements:

Accuracy
Damage
Range
Knockback
Endurance Reduction
Recharge Reduction

Nice! So when 'Sammy' hits the baddie does he encircle and gnaw on him a bit?

And what a random solution to that bug, but it sounds like the team chat messages help the server threads keep the synch between the mission 'object' and player 'object'...conceptually, at least.

I'm gonna try that with a team to see if I can zone faster.

Naw ol' sharky latches on and it has a vicious sound like a lion ripping a chunk of a fresh kill. That shaking gnaw sound, its great.

That trick I post tho, it only seems to help skrape1. Without it he crashes but with it he gets thru, it weird that he's the only one that derives a positive effect from it.

So I guess there is a difference depending wether or not you finish the first timed mission?

If you ever get to 45, let me know what mission you get.

Aren't multiple sharks gonna come out if you fire it at more than 1 enemy?

Thats school of sharks you're thinking about, I'm taking that last(though i'm thinking I should take it before the pet)

Ol' Sharky(Spirit Shark) is a single target attack. It looks vicious when it hits, its like the shark tackles them and then mauls em.

So you have Shark Skin then? How does that look like? It's just a flashing Mako logo huh?

I got the Mako Pool on my brute so the choices I have are:

Spirit Shark <--- I love the look on it kinda hard to see tho.
School of Sharks <---- Taking this after CHUM SPRAY!!!
CHUM SPRAY!!!!!!!! <--- My reason for taking the pool
Lame pet <--- I refuse to even bother.

You must be thinking about another set.

Ahhh yeah that's right. I somehow assumed you were a Corruptor like me.

I'll look forward to the Corruptor PoV on this set

They changed its name back to Chum Spray!? O.o

At this point, the only Corruptor you'll hear from with the Leviathan Mastery set is the one with (a) a fast computer and (b) has the patience of a saint.

Between the lag, crashes, my slow computer, and the slow leveling, I have managed to achieve about one bar with 50k debt. So much for Patron Powers
