Dark/Dark/Soul Brute, the very same as the one in my sig. After a recent respec, he's pretty unstoppable (even more so than he was before). The key was leaving the portals alive. Dark/Dark benefits from being surrounded. Granted I died a few times, but Dark Armor is the armor you have to kill until the player gives up. I used Soul Transfer a total of three times during the fight, and I found Holtz to be easier to fight than The Honoree.

I used to run around the forums saying how I never needed Tough/Weave, and since I've taken them I've been very impressed with the sudden boost in power my main's shown. I'm happy with the power snags, let me tell you.

Something I could carry around to counter the fact that I can't fly (Damn you Marcus. Why did you get all the cool powers?) Some sort of mace or something. With a spider on it. I like spiders."

So, you get your monies, Nihilli?
As was expected by many, nothing has showed up in my email box. I've glanced through the connected list on the boards and saw him on for several hours since I posted the video, so it's not just that he hasn't been around either.
Seems like St0ner's word is worth less than some pretend money in a video game.

?EDIT: Also, this thread should be immortalized somehow. Put it in your sig that he owes you 12 billion. Hell, make it even worse and make him pay in PvP IO's. xD

Well, as I said in another thread: it's a way to make a reputation for oneself, whether you pay that 12 billion or not.

Thanks man, but don't get me wrong ; he might value his pride to be worth under 12 billion inf, but I value getting a good laugh at the expense of someone calling me stupid and ridiculous when I feel it is uncalled for (well, I can be stupid and ridiculous sometimes | If it makes you feel better I'll send you something. ? |
) to be worth over 12 billion inf.

... do you have any use for Rocket Boots? I figure you deserve something for smashing St0ner's pride to pieces. :P

congratulations. very well done.
I've tried (and failed) to solo some real AVs with my DM/Shield Brute, but I couldn't manage to punch through their regen regularly without relying on outside stuff like Shivans and other temps. Shivan + Widow Pet + lots of Insps may not count as soloing, though.

Do you use Mids? If so, slap up your build; over the past week, I've had my first bout of successfully soloing AVs, and it was on a DM/Shield Brute. The build hasn't even got Hasten or Midnight Grasp, and it was still capable; that's just how DM/SD is. Which AVs have you attempted? Which APP/PPP do you use?|

EDIT: nvm about APP/PPP, I see the Widow Pet comment now...which raises some other questions. : p
I'll have to do it on a melee toon then. I'll post back with my results!!! And I never called him a chump, or implied it. I had gone in on my bots/traps and didn't realize I had it set to AVs. I figured I'd give it a try and it was very apparent they weren't full fledged AVs.
Aside from endurance issues I lost a protector bot once.
I have a dm/sd and dm/elec that can probably take down those guys.
