Got to solo my first AV (finally)!

I never had it a point to go AV hunting on my primary scrapper (MA/Regen) since given my somewhat limited playing time, I don't want to spend too much time doing trial & error on figuring out how to take out an AV, particularly on a combo that's usually considered not as great as your usual combos, like /SR or /Shields or /WP.

But I had some time to kill and decided to give it a shot today against Marauder and see how long I last compared to the last time I took him on (which wasn't all that long really). I got the Ouroborus mission set with no temps and no inspirations and went to town.

I first tried to pull some of the minions surrounding him away so I don't have to deal with them while taking on the Big Boss Man. I pulled about three, but the next three also had Big M coming with them. So I bite the bullet and decided to let it ride. I took one down fast before Marauder got into melee range. Then I just used Dragon's Tail to clean up the ready and focused on Marauder.

I was surprised how fast his health dropped within the first minute or so, and that I was still able to hang with him. I got to maybe about 40-50% when he hits what seems to be Unstoppable. Well, not I'm doing 2-digit damage, but I keep at him since he can't seem to drop me either. Unstoppable then drops for him and then I continue the assault until his health is somewhere from 5% to 15%. I curse some profanity while I hit my Regen clicks and keep going. But he does eventually get me with a lucky hit and I drop.

But that's not the end. Sure, no temp powers or inspirations, but I got a near useless power called "Revive." I hit it for about a 50%-50% split on health and endurance, then run back to Marauder, telling him, "I got lotta mo'! Got lotta mo!"

He turns and looks at me with still just about 5%-15% health and his Unstoppable almost about to drop sometime soon. "You got one more round. Just one more round. It's overtime, so let's see who wants it more."

With that, we exchange a few more hits, before I drop him as my first AV victim, solo with no temps and no inspirations.

Okay, so he was just Marauder. But like your first kiss, you never forget it. I just wanted to share my experience with the Scrapper community, because unlike my first kiss, I don't think Marauder is going to complain that I told a bunch of people about it over the Internet.

Late!

Gratz! I just soloed him with my 48 FM/SR no temps/no insp 2 days ago for the first time. The fact that you defeated him with MA/ is awesome considering his S/L resists!
