First solo AV!

I'm not the type to brag or anything, but thanks to the advice on this forum and the build I got help with from you guys, I just soloed Infernal. Not sure how easy or hard he is compared to the other AVs out there, but it sure took a while and was a lot of fun as a Kat/Regen scrapper. I knew I had what it takes (practice/build wise) so I decided to do it without temps/insps. And there you have it. Pretty exciting.

Thank you scrapper community!

Gratz on your accomplishments. Lot's of fun aint it?


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Hey! Infernal is no slouch either! Great work, you should be able to get a bunch if you got him.

Yeah, definitely fun. And yeah, I went on to Chimera after that, and he was a laugh compared to Infernal. Good stuff. Thanks guys.

Is Shadowhunter possible to solo as an AV? I gave him a shot once before I had to log, and it seems he heals to full health every time he gets to 3/4 health or so.

He only does that one time I believe. The power is similar to Dull Pain I think and might actually raise his HP total. In any event it does increase his regen while it's up. Just keep fighting him.

it is Earth's Embrace which is just like Dull pain. It says it recharge is 120s but I have only seen him use it once when I solo him.

He used it three times on me before I had to run out of the mission and log off the head out Maybe next time... Oh well. Thanks again all

He used it twice against my Claws/Regen

Shadowhunter


ohhhh
Nice job on Infernal!!!


 

Posted

Dang,

Shadowhunter used it on me EVERY time he seemed to get between fall below 75% health (even got him down just below 50% only to see it bump up all the way)

That's when I said "Screw it, popped a Shivan, a bunch of Reds and invited a friend.

Now I'm 50 and almost completed a set oF Hecatombs, guess I'll have to try again via Oro


P.S. - Gratz on Infernal

This is making me sadface. I just went to try fighting Nightstar, and when I could make no headway on her, I went on to Siege. I have no problems staying alive on either of them with good clickie management (no temps/insps), but both seem to take so very little damage from me. After fighting Night for 20 minutes and Siege for 20 minutes and seeing all changes in their healthbar be quickly regenerated, I gave up.

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes you need to know the Resistance of the AV you are fighting. Siege as 50% Resistance to Lethal so you not going to put a dent in him. and Nightstar as 50% Resistance to lethal too.

So basically there are some AVs I will not be able to defeat inherently because of my AT? I'll bookmark that site so I can check myself now. Thanks for that info.

Somewhat it is the type of Damage you do and the fact you have no debuffs. That is why scarppers are not the best AV soloers. If they have any Resistance to our attacks it can be a long fight are we just can't kill them.

Also with that site it is a little tricky to work.

http://coh.redtomax.com/data/powers/category.php?cat=

that is the link you want. after the = type the AVs groups that he is in so like Nightstar is Praetorians so I would type

http://coh.redtomax.com/data/powers/...at=Praetorians

and then you can find there stats.

For Heroes it would be a ill/rad Controller or a Rad/Sonic Defender. My Brothers ill/Rad Controller can solo almost all of the AVs in the game and can even solo GMs. There are others combos too but Controller and Defender are really go at it because of Debuffs.

Prey is right on the money but don't fret! You can still do quite a bit with a scrapper, even a lethal one.

and melee is fuuuunn!

If you really want to get the most mileage out of a scrapper against AVs then you probably want an exotic damage type like Dark or Fire.

He only used it once against me, but I only fought him once. Sounds like it's variable. Just keep plugging away. You'll get him.

I remember way back in Issue 2 or 3 on my BS/Regen when IH was a toggle I fought him and he used it a few times. I thuoght that was bad until I fought someones custom AV who had Aid Self. They used it at least 15 times and healed for thousands of HP every damn time. I was fighting it on my SS/EA Brute so anytime I had to use aid aelf, it used aid self. Finally beat it but geez Aid Self on an AV is horrible


Grats on Infernal!!!
