No love for Fire/Therm?

The reason for this post is to pick the brains of the more knowledgeable members out there to find out if a fire/therm is able to solo a EB/AV/GM? I've tried taking on Bosses with my 39 troller and gotten waxed within seconds, so must I take a Kin in order to solo Bosses or do I just need more time working with my troller?

From the sounds of "Bosses", I gather one of you vs many Bosses at once?

Multiple Bosses is almost always more powerful than a single Elite Boss. :3

Any controller can solo a single Boss simply by stacking holds on it.

I saw on the boards a while ago that some one was soloing AV's using a Fire/Therm - I believe it was Silverado but I could be wrong.

At L39 I wouldn't go near AV's or GM's but you should be OK with EB's; just stack the buffs on the Imps and keep them healed and debuff the EB.

/Kins aren't particulary good for AV's and GM's, /Rad is the preferred AV soloer.


L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR

Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller

I usually take on three at a time and never considered the fact that they may be stronger than an EB. Thanks for your input.

Sounds like I just need more practice and patience. If someone else was doing it then it's not impossible, I may just need to wait until I get her to L50 and have access to all her powers. Now I have something to look forward to. Thanks for the input.

I haven't seen the build but I imagine you will need to use Hover and softcap ranged defence before you look at AV's

Ya, i remember that thread where a fire/therm was solo'n AV's. It was an incredible long list of AV's and I was highly impressed with the feats they accomplished.
