[Isolators] Weekly SG, Wednesdays, etc

No ToT, please. Easy enough to do that out of Isos, and frankly harder to find a team doing non-Halloween things currently.

I'll be heading back from Kabul today. I figure I'll just hold off and join in at the start of the next run. I need to run around and see all the new updated stuff anyway.

And what better way to do that in Isolators! :0

Could always just use a random level 50 if you don't have something in the 20's/30's.

Bone! There goes the profits I was able to squeak out of the market

You should be back in time for Isos; it's only what, 25 - 30 hours flight time?

I've already forgotten about most of you

Yeah, we have a while left in this run, Bone, feel free to join in with whatever. You can play around with the new stuff on any time that is not Wednesday.

I don't have any more Praetorians to help out there. I have a couple I'd like to start, but I'm waiting on I19 when Fitness becomes free from level 2.

Well, I'm in Qatar now, and have fast internet access for the night. I'm going to let the updater run and see if it will finish out here.

I should be back in Tampa tomorrow night, then I need to get my game PC updated, both the regular game and test ( Oh joy! ).

I don't know if I'll be on much the first week I'm back, really need to get stuff squared up after being out here for 6 months.

Team Hamster ran through mostly the 35-40 Rikti and Crey arcs, still have a few of the Rikti missions left iirc. Or maybe the Crey. One of them...

Looks like target level is 39ish. Going to try to run Manticore and Katie tonite if anyone wants to join.

Might run Manti Saturday or Monday night, depending on how I feel. Haven't done any late game TFs late, so I might try for one of those on Saturday.

Still confused about how my Brute keeps up with the level for the group when I usually have to leave after a couple hours. With past runs, I've always had to play catchup.

Look on the Victory Server... already have a thread going on this.

So I've put off on playing the defender for 3 or 4 weeks now.....and it still bores the hell out of me. Not sure why, other than the low damage and the click / non-active nature of Cold debuff. And I cannot for the life of me make up a build that makes me want to jump on this guy and make life easier for everyone else. Psy attacks just annoy the crap out of me.

Challenge: Come up with a build for a Cold/Psy (dear god why did I pick Psy??). Looking for high recharge, high defense, and decent recovery, but not boring to actually play. I have no interest in solo play for this guy, I just want to be active/effective....and I'm already incredibly active

I've already forgotten about most of you

One reason I hate buffers. You should have gone cold/ice.

Anywho... Target level looks 40ish. Going to run Eden tonight with xp turning off, I think, as I fear out leveling it next week. Will run Numina and Sewers after next week then.

Team Hamster ran through the rest of the 35-40 Crey arc and started on the Envoy of Shadows arc. Got to the first encounter of the Envoy then called it a night. Will continue with him next week.

Did an Ice corr and an Ice blaster; hated both. Felt way too weak for me. Though in hindsight, probably not as weak as Psy

I've already forgotten about most of you

None of this helps the challenge at hand.......

Also, using a nuke just reminds everyone else that you failed and you're at your last resort. That's not something I have to worry about.

I've already forgotten about most of you

Nukes are... awesome. Not sure how it shows people you have failed at all.

For the rest, I can't really help out, Voo. I have the same issue with powersets where I'm not super active, other than buffing, etc. I like being more active, so my Earth/Storm Controller is quite fun for me. Pain Domination as an MM just bored me eventually. I like getting more in a mob's face, I guess.

Not sure if there is much you can do to "fix" this either, as it's just how you prefer to play, and that character doesn't match up well with that.

broken link! Need data chunk!

~~Variation: softcapped energy as well, post i19 build. 12 KB protection, practical immunity to slow effects (80% res). psi tornado + FF proc = groovy.

Thanks, will take a look when I get a chance at these. I've done many iterations of rebuilds, and nothing looked interesting. I was trying for as much ranged defense as I could, but I wasn't getting anywhere near what I wanted.

How is one soft capped to smash/lethal with your build Vanum? (Do a data chunk if you can please). I care about recovery because I'm very very bored on this guy and am constantly doing something >.> Heat loss helps, but I'm burning through it's effect half the time (it's accuracy is low for me atm).

And YOU copied ME yet AGAIN! Don't you forget that.

I've already forgotten about most of you

Current target level: 41ish.

Team Hamster finished off the Envoy of Shadows arc then ran through the entire revised Preatorian arc. So glad the "defeat clockwork for data" mission is gone. Next week, going to run the Hydra Dimension mission so everyone gets that badge then go into running random missions from the other 40-45 contacts until an arc opens up.

Dammit... I missed the new Praetorian arc!

Work kept me from Isos yet again, but my steady cheating grinding A-merits and running Ham TFs has me ahead of the target.

I noticed that. Cheater.

Hmmm. We're coming up on 2nd respec and Quaterfield soon. :0
