Ok do we want to try setting up a time for this team to start?

How about monday, around 4:30? And just at that place by the kalinda contact person.

That's a little overkill...try 2 kins. Double fulcrumshift and a nuke power will instantly vaporise ANY spawn...don't need 8 corrs for it

[/ QUOTE ]

Uhm fulcrum shift is lvl38, so the last 2 lvls are fast. Thats kinda the problem.

Stacked RI might not, but 8*AM buffed corruptors throwing AoE's will

Believe me you will have problems with being alpha striked and mezzes. I have played in an all */rad corrs team and that was what caused teamwipes sometimes. You could go with 7 rad and 1 brute or like they said bring a couple of thermals.

Been there done that. Toggle drops from from longbow will cause team wipes. Take a thermal, sonic or FF MM with you

So, you guys played a /rad team without CC?

8 CC = perma-lockdown, add grant invis and there's not much chance of any mez or alpha-strike if they never saw you nor get a chance to try to hit you.

Unless Longbow have lots of AoE mez effects before lvl 30+ too, and I must be lucky because I've never got hit by it.

Don't get me wrong, I've played a rad sg and there were deaths... because people would get too confident, because half of the team was afk/chatting, or simply because it was so easy it'd get boring and someone would aggro 2 or 3 more groups to break the monotony. Certainly not from mez effects that last a sec with all the AMs going, or alpha-strikes hitting at 10% damage with a 5% hit rate.

Are we doing the arachnos starting contact rather than the merc then? Oh I dont get home from work till around 6ish, maybe a bit before for 4:30 will be a problem for me

CC comes at lvl28. Thats a long wait cause I think the purpose is fast lvling.
Secondly the lower values debuff of corrs compared to defenders really shows.
In a team with all rads its no problems killing +5's, but surviving is.
Yes, we did have grant invis on the team. Didnt help much.

Rikti and lost have AoE sleeps which can cause everyones RI and CC to drop. When fighting +5's they have a real nasty tendency to hit unless you have stacked loads of RI. When you charge the mob only 1-2 will be active before the retaliation. They are gonna hit, and it will be nasty.
Running in with CC doesnt change this as you wont hit unless RI is down.


A sonic would add shields and perma mez protection. CC wont ever drop and leave you with 10-20 secs where you cant use it.
Its much easier with a few colds/sonics.

If people wish I would be happy to add a different secondary in if we feel it would be better.

Note on start time - pronbably about 7pmish (BST) would be best for me.


 

Posted

Suppose it would help to get some protection in... anyone up for making a /whatever to be up for the job? And logging on as my rad/rad corr in a min. I took Kalinda as my first contact btw.
EDIT: Fine, I guess 7pm is smart, seeing as lots of people are coming back from work.


 

Posted

7PM? That leaves me one hour, am in GMT/BST +2 zone so it's 9PM for me, and I vanish at 10 on week nights.


 

Posted

Am I making a /thermal, /sonic or /cold out of interest?


 

Posted

I'd say we should be fine with one /sonic, clarity+dispersion+rings=muchos protection.

Whoever wants to make it, feel free to.


 

Posted

Hmm, whichever one suits you tbh - Or one that grants best/earliest resistances whatever, you decide

EDIT: Bah, you're too darn fast MaX :- I will beat you to a responce someday!


 

Posted

right /sonic it is then.

Hmm now for the primary choice...

Sonic/Sonic ok with everyone?


 

Posted

Whatever floats your boat for primary... Hey, I think we should start at 6pm actually, give us more time, people can join as they get on. That ok, 6pm next to Kalinda contact?


 

Posted

No because I will be eating at 6 pm. I can run thorugh the tutorial now and turn up ASAP after 6 though if thats better for the others. (also have we got 8 people yet for it?)


 

Posted

Not sure how many people we've got. And I myself have already gone through tutorial, I dont really think we need to team that part, 'tis easy anyway.


 

Posted

I'd say starting at 7 would be good, maybe 6:45.
