Thugs poison is great for soloing and no need to wait for later levels. Well to be fair i'd not played in ages and restarted with a lvl 39 thugs/poison in the last few days and not sure i hit a hero as opposed to EB's, maybe both.
Either way its all about debuffing, which is much harder when the debuff is massively reduced but, stacked paralytic poisons, with stacked weaken and envenom with at the moment i have at least one recharge in each, probably more. Drop noxious gas on your enforcer and send him in first all adds up and you should eventually have the av taking a decent amount of damage aswell as missing a lot of hits and even held for some time. Drop gang war on it aswell for some distraction minor damage. You want hold/debuff's slotted in the appropriate powers so they last long enough and are usable often enough to stack them but thats about it.
I took hasten fairly late, and have Force of nature accolade which the later i save for very tough fights to stack up the debuffs even further.
Sorry only just reread and noticed, same on primary everything non attack basically and secondary you REALLY want paralytic poison, its great, for anything below a boss its a one hit hold of 15-20 seconds with a recharge becomes stackable, boss's 2 hits and then continous hold if you want, and eb's 3 hits normally. I can't remember if you can actually hold a Av/hero or not, its been way to long.
Alkaloid i have fully slotted, not really sure tbh if aid other is better, but slotted alkaloid gives a 240 heal every 2.2seconds at lvl 40 of which, if your enforcer is taken the main hits will see him survive most bosses with some debuff's. Poison trap everyone said was [censored] so i skipped that too, same with antidote. Not taken patron yet, was here trying to find out whats best.
Respec and take paralytic poison, and as soon as its available, its more than worth it, fully slotted too.
hehe, av soloing is deffo doable. Took me a second attempt but got Citadel down solo. I went into a mission without a clue it had an AV in, on relentless, kicked his [censored]. Well, after he kicked mine. Got back quickly but had to take him from full health again. He did miss quite a lot after a while, along with two/three noxious gasses, hasten to stack more debuffs and constantly pulling damn 3rd napalm guy who constantly ran in to hit him with his pathetic punch it worked out. Took so long though first time, second time i used a few inspirations, only damage and one/two a pop on brute just when he lost aggro so he could get it back more easily as citadel hit damn hard and could kill the others. he also has a nova that took everyone cept the brute if it hit so keep outta range.
but do-able, yes.
Hi!
I've been playing my thugs/poison up to lvl 45, hearing that in later levels I am able to solo Avs and heroes, but from lvl40+ I have been trying, without any success to do this, and was wondering what was up. What tactics/powers do people use to solo these enemies? I have all the primary powers except pistols and dual wield, and all secondaries except paralytic poison, poison trap and antidote, with mace as my patron. I've also taken medicine aid other/self and slotted these rather than alkaloid, as I found alkaloid lacking in the heal department; Aid other is far better. Please help me!
