In the past, the biggest issue with /TA was its lack of -regen. EMP Arrow was the only form of -regen available to combat a GMs natural regen. Trick Arrow aficionados have been asking for -regen to be added to PGA (or extend the duration of EMPs -regen effects) to bring TA online with other sets, but to no avail.
Its quite possible, now with Incarnate abilities, its easier to accomplish such a task.
Best of luck to you!
Well, I think for something like Lusca or Kronos, it would never work. Maybe with the Incarnate powers but as I only have the second tier Pyro and 1st tier Victoria, I am still not sure. Thats why I wanted to start out with one of the smaller ones. Besides, I would like to at least say I was the first Ill/TA to solo one hehe.
At the moment, i have Emp Arrow 4 slotted with Basilisk's Gaze for the recharge but from reading (and re-reading several times) the Enchiridion, I know that it isn't possible to extend out the -regen for it. I did find myself using it about 3 x's which almost made me bottom out but I needed to time PA better.
Not sure why it never occured to me to test on AV's or GM's first in AE. I did attempt Statesman earlier but he was far too easy to be an AV so I need to adjust my settings.
The Envenomed Dagger temp power has pretty nice 250% Regen debuff -- enough to get through an AV. I haven't tried to take on a GM since my Ill/TA has a long way to go before he get Perma-PA (too many level 50's). One of the Incarnate options also has -Regen, but I haven't even started my Ill/TA on that road yet.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

I think your best bet is to go with Ageless Destiny, Reactive Interface, and Vicky for Lore. Ageless will bring OSA and your other damage attacks up more frequently. Reactive has the Fire and -RES Procs. Vicky is just bad ***.|

It appears that Diamagnetic's -Regen is resistible ( unless it was patched) by GMs and AVs so I am not too confident that it can provide enough -Regen for this task. As noted it's quite possible this patch changed that making Diamagnetic a viable option.

Figures. Diamagnetic is what I went with.. I didn't realize the resist on it. I haven't noticed much of a difference anyway to be honest but, figured it was just that small since I only have it at tier 2. I have Vicky but haven't decided if I want Radial or Core yet.
As for Envenomed Dagger.. that never occured to me. I suppose I just didn't want to hear, "Doesn't count if your using temp powers" or something to that effect and wanted to see what would happen if I did a minimum run. Now that I know I can.. I may try a few other things. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it.
Well, just for kicks, I ended up finally hunting down another Paladin and solo'ed it without a temp power and only took 3 small blues. Now that I finally did it, I went for another but all I could find was Jack. (I attempted the Kraken but was "helped" by a small team early in the fight)
As for Jack, for this I ended up using envenomed dagger and it still wasn't enough. At first I thought I wasn't even phasing him but after 5 minutes, his HP bar started slowly lowering. When it got less then a 1/4 way down though, he started recovering almost quicker it seemed.. then after being terrorized twice.. he ended up fully recovered. After 10-15 minutes, it was to a stand still and I left. Maybe after a bit more practice but putting him off for now. I only used 2 breakfrees but maybe next time, I will bring a few more now that I know what to expect.
