Soloed First AV

Figured I'd post about this, just because it's my first. On my DM/SD/Soul, with no Hasten or Midnight Grasp (concept choices), using no Insps or Temps, and without any fodder for AAO or Soul Drain, I put down Chimera. I know, it's just Chimera. But I was pretty stoked nonetheless. It was a nice achievement for a build that's subpar and not even finished yet. No pics, because I wasn't expecting to do it, but it was easy enough that I could just do it again via Flashback.

Hooray!

Congratz. For some reason I had a harder time with Chimera than I did with other AV's probably cause he was my first. Have fun on the hunt for more AVs.


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Thankya; been rough so far. Infernal required some oranges, Malaise too, and Nightstar...has she got far more resistance than most AVs? I can barely dent her.

Just curious, have ya tried the power analyzer? I find it incredibly helpful in fighting AVs in general.

Haven't yet, but I'll probably pick it up soon. Since stalling against Nightstar, I've had success against Neuron, Bobcat, and Battle Maiden (used fodder for BM, none for the other two). Right now Black Swan is giving me a hard time; it's one of those fights that I could eventually win, given a long enough timeline, but with that much time it's just a given that the RNG will beat me up.

And down goes Black Swan (thanks, insomnia, couldn't have done it without ya).

I have to say...I had long held off on really making an AV soloist, because the idea of fighting the same target for upwards of 15 minutes just seemed really, really boring to me. Not the case! The Black Swan fight is really what made me turn the corner; it's a blast to be duking it out, then get to those, "ohcrapohcrapohcrap, don't hit me again just yet, tier 9 is almost--yes!" moments. Good times.
