Hmmmm, i was rereading some of the posts and i think my origional point got lost. I was merely trying to point out if you are having a problem with a mission, streetsweep opponents your level or come back to the mission after you level up making it that much easier. Getting enhancements do help alot but there are other ways to make your rise easier. Also getting friends (other heroes to help makes it easier and fun).

Oh, I know exactly why. You're full of crap. You have experienced, long-time players who have theorycrafted this game to death telling you it's not possible. NOBODY seems to be able to back up your claim with their own experience. So far, it seems you're the only one who thinks it's possible. The evidence speaks for itself. If it were possible, there'd be other people doing it. We're not going to believe that there's some magic trick that only you have discovered and not the big-time number crunchers. You're either grossly exaggerating or flat-out lying.

I am having trouble reading your post, Fel. Are you saying explaining how you killed rommie in 15 seconds 4 times or are you saying that it was a riddle and that you never killed rommie 4 times in a minute??

First use all your resources from the game (do not let these heathens talk you into using your Primary and Secondary powers only).
There are Temporary Powers and ACCOLADES (badges that give you bonuses, look these up at paragonwiki.com and badgehunters.com).
First i have slotted a full set of Eradication ENHANCEMENTS (earned from missions, trading, or bought at Wentworth's in Atlas) this gives me a base Blast of 365.5
Before i attack i hit all my ACCOLADES (others say this is a dumb idea but Vanguard Accolade gives extra bonuses to the secondary effects of powers). I then hit POWER BOOST (Epic Power) which ups my base to 657.9 so now i just pop 2 tier 1 Red INSPIRATIONS and 2 tier 1 Yellow (for accuracy, this step is not necessary), and you are way above the cap 822 but you max out at 704.8.

Felicia, this is an example of clear, no-obfuscation posting. If you stick to this style rather than hand-waving and mysterious "I'll tell you tomorrow!" statements, you'll be truly helping to inform and help other players.
Even with what you're describing here, I fail to see how you could kill an AV in 15 seconds 4 times in a row. If you could, I'd imagine I'd see well-known power players like Werner, TopDoc, and Smurphy doing it. Those players are well known for sharing very detailed descriptions of their builds and accomplishments. They have built up credibility over time and have shared some jaw-droppingly impressive accomplishments. So far, from what I've seen, you haven't. In fact, your preferred posting style seems almost anti-informative, the above quote being the exception rather than the norm.

And the best thing about folks like that "I soloed Jurassik!" is that oftentimes they have RECORDED VIDEO PROOF for everyone to see and go "Wow, that's awesome!" They don't try to be all coy about it.

I remember doing that. Man was I pissed. Thought the game was broke, should have realized it was my brain.
Again you guys have said nothing insightful, go back and reread my past posts carefully.
I said Rommy can be done in 60 seconds, since he rezzes you have to defeat him 4 times.....so divide 60 by 4 you get 15 seconds to kill him the first time (not all 4 times).
I am one of dozens if not hundreds of players who know how to do this. Just because you dont and no one on the forums wants to share it with you (mainly because they have not seen this thread) does not mean it cant be done.
Sonic is an IDIOT....he solo's or stays with his private little group of friends in Templars of Steel sg. Being on my server he should know by now that all he has to do is ask any member of Stoned Templars, The Grey Coven, or ALL-OUT-WAR (that by itself shows over 100 heroes already know this tactic) POLITELY he would already have the answer! Just for the record, if you guys would actually read the WHOLE post, you would have known i already announced how to do it on another thread!
From the speed his (ToS) sg does ITF (i have heard they have the fastest time at 23 minutes) am shocked he doesnt realize his group already probably employs this method and if his teammates were to drop out he could probably solo it.
As for waving my hands mystically in the air....i am sorry for actually forcing you to think! Again if the posters would have asked nicely in the first place i would have given the answer right away!
*************************************************
Now for the important part: For the OP and new players, my best advice is to take time to meet new people and team, learn your character by taking all the powers and trying them out, you can respec out what doesnt work for you later.
There are resources to do research, some of the best is paragonwiki.com and in the forums check out the PLAYER GUIDES.
The best guide i have seen, even though it is old is...i10 Fire/Storm Controller Guide by Eldandil.
There are a few minor changes such as the Abandoned Sewer Network Trial contact has been moved to Atlas Sewer Entrance. The guide is a great way to see what is in the game and what you can do at each level.

[/ QUOTE ]Video or it didn't happen, because it is impossible. You can not take him down 4 times in less than 15 seconds. And it would have to be less than 15, because his rez goes off and animates in about 5 seconds. Therefore you only have 45 seconds to take him down within 1 minute.

If you really want to learn more about the game and have fun with a large group of people AND you are a good TEAM player......come to champion even at level 1 and contact me or ANY member of the sg ALL-OUT-WAR and we will assist you. Being in the sg will make your life alot easier but it is not mandatory for us to help you. AOW is a true community oriented sg.
Other great helpful sg's are Stoned Templars , The Grey Coven, United Heroes Brigade, Hammers of Justice, We B Heroes, Track of Death and Life of Glory. There are always good people on.
If your into PvP contact Protectors of Neverland, Pingu Coalition, L.E.S., or Renassaince De La Veritas.
Ok I'm going to do something a little unusual and make a helpful post.
Felicia,
No one doubts that you can solo Rommi. We know this to be possible. No one doubts that you can do it with a dark/ defender. Absolutely no one doubts that you can do it with an unenhanced defender who has a shivan, a mary, a wolf, a snowbeast, and a heavy.
What we doubt, is that you can do it in the time you say you can do it. And quite frankly your attitude has been very unhelpful in this thread. You can't expect to walk into a thread and say "I can do this. ", and not expect to get called out on it when you follow it up with "But I wont tell you how you can do it also unless you beg and plead and ask me really nicely. "
Sorry, but right now people are looking at you in one of three ways:
1: An idiot.
2: A liar.
3: A jerk.
But that is neither here nor there.
When you come to the forums and make an outlandish claim like you have, and it is an outlandish claim. It is incumbent upon YOU to prove your claim. It is not incumbent upon us to beg and plead and hope that you are nice enough to share your knowledge of the game with us.
tldr version: pics or it didn't happen
Stoned Templars... isn't that where those two came from that had the big guys playing girls uproar?

[/ QUOTE ] You're the one who has to think up a way to solo Romulus in 60 seconds so that you can produce a video to substantiate your claims. That's not someone else's job. Making other people come up with the explanations for your fantastic claims is a trick of stage magicians and charlatans; one group doesn't expect us to really believe them, and the other are liars. Is that how you want to appear? That you're either kidding or lying? Back up your claims and prove yourself honest. Then no one has to wonder.

The Defender epic is actually Power Build Up; it combines Power Boost and Build Up, essentially. It's easy to confuse their names, but the epic power in question does increase damage.

Personally, (and I know this is not going to be a popular idea) I think you should reroll, and start from scratch. Play each level with actual game content and NO AE. This will help you learn how to use your powers, and figure what kind of circumstances work best for what kind of attacks, and what enhancements to buy. There are stores to buy enhancements other then Wentworths. Some are origin specific meaning they sell enhancements specifically for your origin.
[/ QUOTE ]
Or do the AE content instead of "actual game content," because if it's in the game, it's now "game content." BUT yhu would need to do it differently.
The AE is not inherently evil and there is nothing wrong with doing AE missions. Doing AE missions isn't the problem. The problem is doing them exclusively to level quickly, not training as you level, and not slotting (including FILLING said slots) and playing with your new powers as you go. Teaming with people only doing AE missions and letting you go along for the ride without pulling your own weight is also part of the problem. (And if you teamed with anyone, you were clearly not pulling your own weight becase now you're getting you butt handed to you by Tsoo, which max out 20 levels beneath you.)
Anyone you teamed with probably thought they were being helpful, but they did you a disservice. Find some teammates who allow you to be challenged and teach you how to rise up to those challenges.
I've been playing the AE missions on only my level 50 characters and there are a lot of really good and fun missions in there - some I did last night rival anything the Devs have published. Please don't assume the problem issues directly from the AE or even the AE content. It's not all farm missions and some people, myself included, have put a lot of time and effort into actual story arcs and missions. Last night I played @Wrong Number's Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids! arc and @fuzon's A Day in the Life of...Dr. Aeon arc. Both are creative, well-written, and a lot ot fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone, new and vet players alike. (Though I think they're both over level 25.)

No one is saying you were claiming he could be killed 4 times in 15 seconds. They're saying you claimed he could be killed 4 times in a minute, which is 15 seconds per kill. Which is complete and utter bull pucky.Sure you can solo him, I can believe that. Sure, on a defender. No, not 4 times in 60 seconds.
And, by the way, tacking on a paragraph that's parroting advice several other posters gave to the OP way back on the first page of this thread does not make your posts any less unhelpful than those from the ones arguing with your fanciful claims of uberness.
'course, yet again, you're not going to even acknowledge me. Curious, if what you claim is possible, why is it all of the long-time powergaming theorycrafters claim it isn't? Why is it that no one, **NO ONE** has come in to back up your claim? Do you seriously expect us to believe there's some super secret that you and only you have discovered?

She won't acknowledge me, either. I don't care about this AV soloing business... I just want to know how she could confuse the Cape and Aura missions, while simultaneously claiming that they're impossible to solo at the earliest level possible, if she's so good at the game.

Oh Oh Oyasumi wins! Arizona negative shower beats anything i can come up with!

If you read the past posts you can see why i do not just come out and give answers - "Sonic - Just....no" is a perfect example! I have repeatedly said if you ask nicely i will share, i am teaching you something, if you dont get it, too bad!
MTS and Sardan (you 2 seem smart enough to figure out the Rommy quiz) the Epic power you are looking for is called POWER BOOST under the Power set.
To give new players an idea of what to look for i posed the BLACKSTAR question so the following answer will help give them ideas on how to improve their play as the go up in levels and later when they hit 50 they will realize there is still lots to learn and do.
First use all your resources from the game (do not let these heathens talk you into using your Primary and Secondary powers only).
There are Temporary Powers and ACCOLADES (badges that give you bonuses, look these up at paragonwiki.com and badgehunters.com).
First i have slotted a full set of Eradication ENHANCEMENTS (earned from missions, trading, or bought at Wentworth's in Atlas) this gives me a base Blast of 365.5
Before i attack i hit all my ACCOLADES (others say this is a dumb idea but Vanguard Accolade gives extra bonuses to the secondary effects of powers). I then hit POWER BOOST (Epic Power) which ups my base to 657.9 so now i just pop 2 tier 1 Red INSPIRATIONS and 2 tier 1 Yellow (for accuracy, this step is not necessary), and you are way above the cap 822 but you max out at 704.8.
*************************************************
Hope someone learns from this excercise that if you do missions, plan ahead, and use teamwork (make helpful friends) you can get what you need fast and enjoy the game more.
*************************************************
If your still having a problem with the Rommy Quiz, ask yourself the simple question.....What things do i need that i can acquire to overcome Rommy in 15 seconds.
Blackhole his nictus sounds good to stop his heals but he will knock you out in retailiation if your not careful, and yes you can blackhole him too but then you cant defeat him in 15 seconds, same with Phase Shift. Nukes and Shivans, waayyy to slow. Nuke does 25% damage but with 30% dam. resistance from Tarpatch can certainly help (no i did not do this but it sounds good to use a nuke).
