Archery/TA can't solo -2 level mission?
Having just finished this mission on my 28 Nin/TA, I can only agree this boss sucks. Levelled up to 28 just before facing him. 4 deaths, 2 trays of purples, and in the end had about 5 health when my third or fourth wave of Genin dropped him. I swear, at one point I think he took me down with one shot.
Fun times. Watching myself and all my minions taken out in a couple shots by an EB reminds me why my MM's rarely make it too high in level. That, and raging altoholism.
I am looking to branch out from melee toons and finally take a tour of blue side.
For someone who has never played blue side, never played any of those sets nor ATs could you more specifically describe what the issue is? What are your toons lacking? Are you guys blaming Trick Arrow?
I mostly blame the wide array of ranged AoE burn/hold patches that d-bag seems to love spamming. He's meant to be that tough. I love the Trick arrow set, which is why this is my second go 'round with it, he's just not a squishy friendly enemy.
Malta titans are no fun at all for lethal damage heavy squishy types. They appear to be vulnerable to smashing damage but the debuffs of a Corr's trick arrows at that level just aren't enough to cut through before the very heavy incoming damage faceplants you.
It's almost as bad as that one praetorian mission where you have to fight two EBs that can either perma mez you or two shot you. Alone. And no, three LT grade assistants aren't going to fix that...
you think that's bad with an archery/ta corr? I ran that mission a while back ago with a DB/Regen scrapper and that titan gave me HELL! Capt. Castillo...i sliced, diced, and ginsu'd the everliving hell outta him. That Titan showed up...omgwtfthisSUX!!!! That thing put me down a couple of times before i finally got him. Completely emptied my tray, had to hosp, restock, and go at him again before i managed to beat that thing.
My KM/Elec scrapper on the other hand...beat...the SNOT outta that big bot.

Someone say something funny.
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
I just yelled in my room lol. You know why? My AR/Sonic corruptor had no problem soloing this arc (eg sonic resonance shield + grenade launcher)...and people say /Sonic resonance characters aren't good for solo...
Anyways, your problem is that, Trick Arrow takes a while to mature. TA compared to Sonic Resonance, for example, becomes a lot more versatile and flexible towards 50.
Seems it really depends on AT if you can beat him. Had no problems on my DB/WP Scrapper and my Elec/TA Controller. It helps allot if you still have the FFG with you.

Sad but true. I took my lvl 26 Archery/TA into a -1 level mission, turned lvl 27 during it and could not defeat the end-boss with a full tray of greens and purples.
Mission: End the Medi-Port Conspiracy
Contact: Roy Cooling
End Boss: Malta Zeus Robot (Elite Boss) conning white.
Now I would wait until the mission aged to a minus 3 or 4 levels, but it would not be any fun by then.
