to throw in my 2 cents, in order to double stack IR from same person you would have to change zones
but i wish you luck on trying this!
If we went to a coop zone we could bring in both villain and hero. I'll have to see what that status of my kins is... I went through a real "I'll never play another kin ever," phase, but I've got at least one I could bring to the table.
River? Care to make this happen?
I got a Kin, so I'm in.
Same as last time this was discussed, I'm in.
Someone had done the math back in the last thread (which fell off the edge of the forums back before they swapped.) That's where I gotten my numbers from.
I'm in. Would it help to roll a second build with IR six slotted for jump?
Royal Plair is ready to help, depending on the scheduled time.
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
I would seriously love to see this done. I will happily volunteer either my Stone Tank or my Kinetics Defender in pursuit of this noble activity.
I have a stone tank and or several kins I could bring, when and were?

Whenever this gets off the ground (SEE WHAT I DID THERE ? 
), we need to make sure someone videos it... like, oh, I dunno...
VORAC ! 
Yet another thought Have any of the other servers bothered to do this ? Are we gonna be famous ?

Logistics question, but I'm sure someone with a better grasp that me has an answer: How do we get 100 kins around the Tank, tight enough to launch ? All I can think of is a "gauntlet" formation:
I X I
(I's are Lines of Kins, X is Tank... SCIENCE !)
and then the Tank waddles/runs (Guess we could SB the heck outta it !) through the gauntlet, launching at the end ?
I already went and made a second fun build for my Kin

Easy(ish).
- Rikti War Zone.
- Fill it enough to generate RWZ2.
- Put the stoner in the RWZ2.
- Pile the kins into RWZ2. Fill the zone.
- Pile kins into Atlas/FF/PI (pick ONE). Would probably recommend PI as it's the other two are fairly tight quarters.
- Place the stoner in front of the zone portal to hero side. Pack in as many people as you can around him.
- Pack people around the portal on the hero side exit point. Have the person running the event HERE (with an assistant running the RWZ side).
- Have the event leader, when the hero side is ready, signal his subordinate to begin.
- IR the living crap out of the stoner in RWZ2 and have him zone.
- The second he zones in, IR the crap outta him again.
- Stoner: JUMP YOU ROCKHEAD! (Basically stand on your spacebar.)
- Everybody BETTER be clicking PrintScreen as fast as they can.
Note: It REALLY helps if you have someone who's a relatively fast zoner as your "skipping stoner" so the buff doesn't expire in transit.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Basically Hasten, SB, IR. Six-slot them all. (Rech x6),(Rech x3, Run x3),(Rech x3, Jump x3).
Anything else is more or less superfluous.
Okay, just looked again. Whoever quoted 100 Kins might be off...just a tad. Or my math is wrong.
Granite has a -50,000% Jump Height on it.
IR three-slotted for jump height gives a +5534% Jump Height
Essentially, 10 IRs ought to do it (division comes out to 9.03~). Or is Granite mysteriously exempt from the addition/subtraction math of everything else?
Two full teams of kins could probably have him jumping like a super jumper.
I didn't go more than three-slotted for jump due to the desire to keep recharge on IR as low as possible. With everyone SB'ing like nuts, a group of 50's (even with some lowbies mixed in) should be able to get three IRs off before the first IR's bonus fades. Maximizing coverage.
Now, Rooted ALSO applies a -50,000, just double it. 19-20 people.

I have a Kin I could apply to this.
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

I am a little confused as to why you want 6 slotted hasten, and a 6 slotted speed boost (slotted for 3 recharge and 3 run speed). 3 slotted hasten is more than enough, given that people are going to be speed boosting each other. As well, why slot speed boost for 3 recharge when it recharges in 2 seconds, and slot 3 run speeds when all it affects is the run/flight speed and has nothing to do with jump? |

With regards to having the tank rooted, you can have granite armour on and NOT be rooted, correct? They are two seperate powers, right? I think all we're talking about here is launching a tank in granite armour, not a rooted one as well.
well, I should be home from work around 7 tonight.
My Kin wants to be in on this.

Not necessary, but if you're dedicating an alt build specifically for this and no other reason...
As to slotting run on SB. Because someone is probably going to be SB'ing the tank as well.

CAPTAIN SQUIRREL TO THE RESCUE!!!!!
(ie, I'm willing to contribute a Kin)
Somehow, the "How Many Kins Would it Take To Launch a Stone Tank ?" question is running like a persistent weed in what I, as the OP, would like to keep a on-topic discussion of- for lack of better phrasing- quality of life here on Protector. No offense, y'all. If you wanna flame, send 'em to @bamahulk in PM's. If you wanna talk logistics of putting a Stony in orbit, here ya go !

We should totally be able to make this happen! I bet we wouldnt even need 100 kins - more like 40-50 - with everyone speed boosting, we could get IR's recharge way down and stack it 2 per person...
We can do this!
