Solo the Posi TF

I figure a scrapper is the best bet at low level to solo the Posi TF. I've heard Kat/regen is good for that. I've got a build to use for just that purpose, with mules and such. Any input? Any other builds for this AT, other power sets, even other AT's. It's all welcome. Even discussion on the best way to solo this TF are welcome, but mostly builds.

If you think you can solo an AV at level 15, go for it.

One question though: Why the bloody hell would you slot so many of your attacks with a defense debuff set? You aren't getting ANY damage enhancement, and without it it's going to take you forever to kill anything, and a /Regen that takes too long to kill something is a dead regen.

And why would you put Reconstruction off until level 28? That is one of the biggest parts of your survivability in low levels.

Honestly, that is the worst Kat/Regen build I've seen in a LONG time. There's no way in hell you're soloing Doc Vahz with that build, it's just plain NOT gonna happen.

I don't see why you should gimp your build to be able to do Posi TF solo slightly faster.

You can use temporary phases, stealths, insps and whatever so a special Posi build isn't really needed. Besides, you have barely anything slotted for damage, it'll take you ages to solo it with that build just because of the lacking kill speed.

Yeah, I was bored playing alone early one day and though maybe I'd make a toon to get some merits when I'm all by myself like that. That was before they made the change to Posi. I actually got that build from someone else. It looked a little funny to me for some of the reasons you're talking about. I've come up with some other toons that are my main focus, but that toon is sitting on my alt account half finished now. Just figured I'd see what people thought about it. And I know the merits were worth it if you can get a good toon to do Posi. I believe it was 60 merits for the whole thing before (not sure now), and I know that Leo and I did a 1 hour Posi before. So you're getting the same merits you get on a speed ITF. And you can do it alone. Worth blasting through the posi if you've got the toon. Admittedly, making a build just for this is something you do when you're either A) Bored out of your skull, or B) Have way too much money to just waste.

How do you plan on dealing with: Zombie puke (ranged/Toxic), Clockwork (ranged/Energy), Vahzilok Eidolons (ranged Energy and N.Energy), CoT ghosts (which will floor your to-hit)

The zombie puke you COULD have had some resistance to, but you took the power that grants it at level 28 (Reconstruction)

The Clockwork energy damage will slaughter you, and drain your end. You can't heal it back, because you took Reconstruction at level 28

The Kismet proc doesn't work how you think it does. It is only active when the power it is in is active. By putting it in Divine Avalanche you are basically making it so you need to hit in order to get a to-hit buff, which the CoT ghosts will pretty effectively nullify. (I didn't know that myself until recently)

By not slotting your attacks for damage, you're making it so it will take you longer to kill things. If you take longer to kill things, your inability to heal is going to get you killed because you took Reconstruction at level 28 (noticing a trend?)

I'm just pointing out what is wrong with your build here. I could post a build that would work better, but I'm not going to because A) I'm at work and don't have access to Mid's, and B) I take a dim view of people who openly admit to taking a power for the sole purpose of griefing other players.

So, with the things I pointed out in mind, you should be able to figure out how to fix it yourself. Have a nice day.

I call troll. This build is a total joke. A stun proc in stamina? The only attack with dmg sets don't do much dmg at all? Recon at 28? This build is a total disrespect to all Kat scrappers and regen scrappers. This is beyond lack of knowledge about sets. You should be ashame of yourself for posting this. If this isn't a troll, my advise is delete this build and start all over by not doing everything you did here.

I soloed Posi's with my main with zero changes to his normal level 50 PvE build. I then went on to solo Synapse's, Sister P's, Citadel's, Manticore's and finally Numina's all within a 24 hour period.

It ain't rocket surgery.

Get an envemoned dagger, and some SOs, and call it a day.

I soloed the old Posi all the time with no changes to my build have not tried the new one not worth the the merit return

The easiest of the old one was my fire/mm blaster

Wow, this thread turned into a total burn.
A) I didn't make the build, and haven't tweaked it at all
B) I have a 50 build for the toon
C) I was just throwing it up here to see if anyone had the interest to take a look. I could figure it all out myself, but have other priorities
D) The reference to my other post was mostly a joke. I got Containtment Field to use for a few certain instances, like bubbling healing nictus and such. If I joke around with someone and bubble their target, it's probably because it's a global I play with often, and it's just a little ribbing (Which Tamaki is, and it was). I'd appreciate not being shunned for that.

So uh, if you're one of the helpful advisers, thanks for taking a look.
If you're one of the "You should be ashame of yourself for posting this"
or "It ain't rocket surgery" types, let's try to keep things civil shall we?

Mender Silos TF on Invincible is probably the best a scrapper can do I think. Go for that with any type of scrapper and to me ya got gold, will take a look at build now.

Edit:No Vindicate or Freedom Phalanx Hero allowed to die for platinum.

Edit: I would forget soloing Posi. A build like that doesn't lead in DPS and is weak high levels compared to what ya could have.

Hmm yeah. One thing I noticed about CoH is how civil the community is in-game. For the most part. The hecklers must spend most of their time on the forums.

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Exemplar...n_Enhancements
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Table_of_Special_IOs

Along with the rest of Paragonwiki these two articles are quite helpful when considering the effects of level vs exemplar builds/work.

In the past I have looked at exemplar builds for very low level mission running such as Posi and various Ouroboros arcs. Below level 21 it often became unrewarding to simply not having a solid, more or less, normal build. Scaling wreaks havoc below 21 and many desirable set bonuses simply don't exist at that level. Stealth, Travel speed, familiarity, inspires and possibly temp powers have far more to do with "speediness" running a Posi than the build itself does overall.

Likely you'll want many if not all you pre-21st powers 6 slotted. Slots for the powers and slots for inspires are two major advantages an exemplar has over a lowbie, especially a lowbie such as one in the teens running Posi. Pretty much only the powers holding special IO's, purple sets and pvp sets are going to have any value slotted up if they are post level 21.

There's something you guys need to know about Elimist. He doesn't play scrappers.

With that in mind, continue :-p

Also, I solo'd posi in 1.5 hrs with a SO'd MA/Regen. Get 4 attacks, recon, DP, QR and you're good to go.

Ricky Rat is a noob cosplaying a scrapper.

Just kidding.

My Ill/Rad solo'd the old posi in about 2 hours, but I wasn't in any particular rush.

I figured this whole idea might end up as a phail. Just wanted to try it out. The first thing that got me on the idea of the Posi as an easy solo merit farm, was the fact that I had two account. Fastest Posi I've done is 1.5 hours (original Posi). With 2 accounts, if I could get it down to 1 hour, would be 120 merits in an hour. That's 4 p.u.g. ITF's if they're decent teams. Decent meaning, not sucky. But I think I'm gonna give up on the whole idea.
