Just send me a pleasant e-mail and say Hi Felecia hope you are having fun, I WANT THE SECRETS NOW! 
BTW there are many people new to the game who will probably be asking the same question as the OP anyways so it does not matter if this is a joke thread or not, as a member of the community and leader of the community sg ALL-OUT-WAR it is my job to help as many new people enjoy CoH.

Felicia,
I have a few thoughts Id like to express.
First, some of us have been respectful in our scepticism of your claims. But you just used an all inclusive phrase you people indicating that you think everyone in this thread is out of line.
Your post did have some helpful suggestions in it, very true, and I for one would not dispute that. However, it also had some very unhelpful elements to it. I believe it is unhelpful to suggest to a new player to run their character without enhancements. I believe it would be detrimental and detracting to their play experience.
With empty slots, especially after level 20, a player would fail to hit their target so often they would become frustrated. When they do hit, they would do little enough damage that they would likely feel underwhelmed and unimpressed. These things all create a less fun experience which may turn the new player off from the game.
Furthermore, the OP was talking about a blaster. In your post to him, you mentioned Balance - your powers should have an equal mix of offence and defence, heals if your an emp. Although, it is possible for a blaster to pick up some defensive powers, is not possible for a blaster to have an equal mix of offence and defence.
If you are going to make a claim about how great you are, would it not be more helpful if there was a point to it? I dont understand how taking the opportunity to brag about how great your Dark Def is helpful to a new player. Your post would have been better received, and held more credibility, had you left out all the self promotion.
I am left to wonder what your idea of Tanking is. Because my idea of Tanking includes keeping the attention of as many foes as possible on me and off my teammates, and surviving doing so. I still seriously doubt your Dark Def can tank better then any of my tanks.
Not everyone has a character on the Champion server. Transferring a character over there is costly in real money. Starting out a new character is a bit unrealistic since they would have to first get to at least level 35 to join you in an ITF.
It is true that you do not have to prove anything to anyone. However, if you dont want to undermine your own credibility among the forum readers then you may have to be prepared to back up or prove what you claim. If you are not inclined or prepared to provide the proof of your claims, then you will do your credibility more good by not making the claim in the first place.
Disclaimer: It is common in forums to fail to convey the true spirit or intent of a posting. Reading what someone says lacks the tone of voice and body language the speaker would have had they actually spoke what they posted. Often a posting is viewed as hostile, or in some form an attack. This is not the case with this posting. This is not an attack, nor meant to be in any way disrespectful.

Actually, Dark Defenders are not known for taking down AV's, at least not solo. Also, a Dark Defender has very little lockdown capability vs. an AV unless you mean lockdown in a different sense than normal. Regardless, defeating an AV four times in 60 seconds implies an effective DPS far beyond what most AT's would normally be capable of when solo*, much less a Dark/Dark Defender.
*i tend to define solo as meaning without assistance from other players. Even with nukes and Shivans i have my doubts about a D3 defeating an AV four times in a minute without exploiting some sort of glitch. However, i am willing to witness this and concede error.

[/ QUOTE ] I must have missed that post. But until I see proof, I'll go ahead and say it is impossible to defeat an AV four times in a minute while solo.

NeoSporin is absolutely right in respect to how a post can come across since we do not see or hear or have a feeling of the other person's intent.
My bragging was merely stating some of my background so the OP can see it is possible. You call it bragging, i call it informing.
YOU PEOPLE (most of the posters in general) say outright that i am lying, that is not a good way to get the answer if you really wanted it. That is why i dont give proof, you dont deserve an answer. I gave you some suggestions on how to ask nicely hoping you would learn to be nice!
I continue to play as i always have and when i need to solo an AV, i just do it. Your comments have no merit or purpose!
If the OP wants to know about me and my tricks (no they are not exploits) all he has to do is contact me.
LOL FELECIA! You say you solo AV's but true AV solo'rs dont need Shivs, nukes, HVAS, insps, etc. TRUE AV's solo'ers only brag when they do it on their own...not having heavies do all the dmg.

I'm still waiting for you to comment on how you managed to confuse the Cape mission with the Aura mission and suggested that both are actually hard to solo at the earliest level possible. Someone so knowledgeable about the game wouldn't make that mistake, or, if they do make that mistake, are more than willing to realize their error rather than trying to casually brush it under the rug without comment.
Soloing an AV isn't some major secret, either. Whether or not you can do it on a Dark/Dark doesn't matter to me at all. Thinking you're some kind of awesome gamer because of it, however, does annoy me. Of course, it only annoys me because I don't see much of anything in video games anymore as "hard". Most of what I see anymore are simple timing issues and pattern recognition. I've been playing games for so long, these hurdles are barely bumps in my gaming experience.
I do agree with one thing you did say, though. You're not special. So if you don't mind, stop acting like your AV Soloing is somehow special and you're guarding some kind of close, dire secret.

How convenient. You claim something that is flat-out impossible and when you're called out for proof, you tell us we "don't deserve proof". You're only destroying any slim chance of credibility you may have had there...
You state that the Cape and/or Aura mission is difficult to do solo at the level you obtain it ( Not if you know how to play the game ), but on the other hand claim to be able to solo high end AVs on a defender not only in under a minute, but multiples in less than a minute total.
Yeah, those of us who actually know how the game works know you're lying. "We don't deserve an answer"? More like you somehow were too naive to expect anyone to call you on your BS.
Edit: To note, I'm not saying it's impossible to solo an AV on a Dark Defender. However, the claimed rate on the particular AVs? Yes, it is impossible. I'd doubt even a fully slotted up scrapper could take them down that fast. Full -teams- can't reliably take them down that fast.

You should try it some time.
Ok, I'll bite, even though I'm pretty sure we're being trolled.
A level 50 Archvillain has 28,271 hit points. They regenerate 94.2 HP per second. To defeat one in 15 seconds without debuffs would require doing 1,979 damage per second.
Since Howling Twilight's regen debuff lasts 30 seconds, I'll assume you open with that to floor the AV's regen. That lowers your requirement to a "mere" 1,885 DPS.
Tar Patch's gives you a -30% resistance debuff.
Let's be generous and assume you can get a Soul Drain on a full 10 enemies, without missing any. The top damage per activation-second power in Dark Blast is Gloom. Fully enhanced it does 126 DPS on a defender.
If you could spam that constantly, with an 80% damage buff from Soul Drain, 18.8% more from Assault, and -30% res from Tar Patch, Gloom would do... a whopping 224 DPS. You could push 283 (average) with the Apocalypse and Cloud Senses procs. Your actual damage would be lower once you factor in Arcanatime, the 5% miss rate, and the necessity to form a full attack chain with lesser DPA powers. Fluffy will add a little, but not very much.
Even if you brought along a kin/ friend to fulcrum shift you to the damage cap (which would technically not be soloing), you'd still be far, far short of being able to down an AV in 15 seconds. You could pull out Warburg nukes, Shivans, Vanguard HVAS, etc. Even with those I don't think you'd make it, especially since it would take almost 15 seconds just to summon all that.
Oh, and your buffs and regen duff would wear off after about 30 seconds... So good luck with the last 2.

There you have it, proof that it's mathematically impossible for a Dark/Dark defender to kill Romulus 4 times in 60 seconds, using any legitimate means.

You say the OP should have knowledge of the game. What knowledge of the game was missing in the analysis of your Dark/Dark taking on a lvl 50 AV?

I should say that yes, Felicia is right on that part about knowledge of the game. But it helps for that knowledge to be, you know...truthful.
And challenging that claim isn't pointless. Giving the OP unrealistic expectations of how powerful characters should be does far more harm than good.
