Ranged Vs. Melee - The ITF

Posted

I'd love to arrange a little friendly competition between melee classes and ranged classes here on Virtue. What I want to see is a full group of eight melee classes vs. eight ranged attack classes to see who can complete the ITF in the shortest amount of time. Both groups would start and end at Imperious.

Is there anyone reading this that could help me make this happen? I think it'd be fun!

5 Billion Inf on the Ranged team if I can be part of it and if Corruptors, Defenders OR Controllers are considered "Ranged".

We'd have to work out the details, but that sounds about right. Maybe make Defenders and Controllers melee, and make Corruptors and Blasters ranged. I don't know about Dominators...

Wait, how in the world would Defenders and Controllers be considered melee?

I'd assume Corruptor, Defender and Controller would all be considered "ranged". If that was the case then this competition/race would be quite silly. Ranged would obliterate Melee... hence me saying I'd place 5 billion Inf on Ranged.

I could see more justification for Dominators to be melee than Controllers or Defenders... seeing as they at least have SOME melee attacks.

Edit: And I guess the same rationalisation could work for the Kheldians and the Arachnos folks...

Silent Sickle; Natural scrapper
And many more.

I know. Maybe the whole ranged vs. melee thing is thought out wrong from the get-go.

Heroes vs. Villains!!!

That might be better!

Well I like both concepts ... you could build some pretty nice teams...

Granted i've done an all tank itf in 40min not even thinking 'SPEED, GOGOGO'
Same for an all blaster, though it took slightly longer.

Throw the rest of the ATs in to the mix makes a lot of fun

Doms would be the only class that fits into both, but their primaries are by majority - ranged.

I volunteer my Traps/Dark, Rad/Rad, Cold/Ice, and Storm/Archery Defenders for this noble endeavor.

Heroes vs. villains does seem a little fairer, though. Though I can see ways to stack either range/melee team to complete trample a 'normal' team in competition.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

This sounds fun.
