Sweet/amazing!

Do you mind if I ask how long the average time is to down one of the GMs on your blaster.

part of me wants to know what your slotting is to do that.

The other part of me says... I can't afford it even if I did know

Nicely done Silver. Perhaps we should promote 'silverado' as a verb. Usage: my blaster just silveradoed Anti-Matter.

Very Impressive.

Silverado is the solo AV/GM master.

I think the longest was Jurassik, might've been 20mins (every small inspiration last 60 seconds, used almost all of them in that fight). The rest took somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes

The Ancillary Pool is Force Mastery actually, you see PFF, Temp Invul and Force of Nature

Also, if you look in the Team Flag/Search box, Silverado has typed "Fire/Ment/Force".

Hell of an impressive feat. I'm imagining that you weren't running into and out of melee range to use Drain Psyche for the -Regen (since that seems like suicide) ?

If he didnt, soloing those would be impossible, even if he had enough dps to overcome the regen, it would take AGES to actually kill the GM.
(you need around 360+ dps to overcome GM regen, and highest end DPS builds have only broken 300+ dps so far in practice)

Yep, it's always dangerous and I had to time it just right. Many times did I get squashed until I learned to do it right, takes practice.

ED-slotted with heals, it's as good as the "big hitter" -regen powers that people ask for Defenders, Controllers and Corruptors on to get access to.

Also: whoops on the epic pool. I took a quick look and thought the color was a paler blue than Force appears on my monitor.

Call me crazy but I dunno...just doesnt sound possible. Maybe the demonic, FoN and some sets of course helped this?

does any 1 know a good build to these sets asked in forums asked on here and no 1 will give a reply!

IO sets, big-time. +Defense, +Recharge, +Recovery/endurance, +HP... I don't know what's in Silverado's build, but all those are staples of doing this sort of thing on any build capable of it. You have to avoid most of the damage, be able to soak it up well when it does land, and lay basically non-stop smackdown on your foes. You just can't achieve that combination of things on most ATs without IOs.

great work silverado! Gives me something too work up to. I can solo EBs on my fire/fire, but that's about it atm. I'm working on an AV-soloing build now, then who knows? Yet, I think the GM thing is impossible without some form of -regen or debuff of some sort.

I just rolled a sonic/psy blaster and am having a great time running around lowbies mishes with her. I think she probably has more potential to hit GM soloing.

basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

I verified this to be the case back before IOs. I don't know if you can get enough damage still, but we can certainly get pretty close.

soloing.
Giant Monsters have a regen >300/sec. One of the key things for soloing those is Reg debuffing. You can easily gain bigger advantage from good reg debuffing abilities than you would get from an extra 200 DPS. Actually probably even bigger than that (depending on ones real DPS)

I just wonder what AT (combo) is fastest at soloing GM's? Care to share your opinion Silverado..? I'd think Bots/Traps MM is really high on that list and doesn't even need insps/temps for solo unlike many of other ATs. Probably Fire/Rad corruptor is also wicked one..
I know My Bots/Dark can solo some GM under 10mins (personal record is Eochai in 8:20 without insps/temps) But I'd think /Traps will probably be a bit faster than /Dark.

And Gz Silverado!

Well done. All I really want to know is what map addon is that? I recall using it ages ago, but I completely forgot its name.
