Wanting to give Rad/Rad a go...1st Rad Armor experience

With the damage rebalance, while you're losing SOME damage, there's just something to be said for being a flat-out immovable object. Here's my Elec/Elec/Mu as an example. -
Wanting to give Rad/Rad a go...1st Rad Armor experience
Hyperstrike replied to Doc Ranger's topic in Brute
Honestly, on a heavily optimized build, Rad, Elec and Fire are all about equally survivable. Dark, Shield, and Invuln are roughly comparable. With proper planning, WP can be absolutely AMAZING, you're just NOT going to be the toughest thing out there. But you'll still be PLENTY tough. With Elec armor, I'd SUGGEST, if you have a slot somewhere, toss at least ONE KB Resist in there. Because the minute your feet leave the ground, you're knockable. -
Wanting to give Rad/Rad a go...1st Rad Armor experience
Hyperstrike replied to Doc Ranger's topic in Brute
I've played Rad/Rad for both Tanks and Brutes. I've found that Rad/Rad tank, with its higher HP count is generally more pleasant to play. I've had well-built Rad/Rad configurations: I'm in a happy place! I'm in a happy place! I'm*DEAD!!!* No warning. Just "French The Floor!" It's HIDEOUSLY annoying. With the Rad/Rad tank, I hybrided it, going for Defense boosts up into the late 30's and early 40's where I started running into lots of Arachnos which just disassembled me. I then rebuilt to maximize Resist. And the difference was INCREDIBLE. Rad/Rad is what made me go back and rebuild my Fire and Elec armor tanks. -

Maybe because only Sith deal in absolutes. And when you're an Immovable Object, you're about as absolute as it gets. Plus, I like making statements like this. Because, while the basic sentiment isn't "Wrong", I in no way say that it's always right either. I could use words like "crutch" instead. But I find talk about "failure" tends to grab people's attention better. And the adversarial manner of doing so pushes people to always keep looking for options. Doing so has allowed me to see some of the absolute SICKEST builds imaginable. Plus, I'm a brightly burning troll at heart. VIrtual looks of "WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?" just warm the cockles of my heart. Maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon, I just don't know. Translation: 99.9% of the stuff that comes out of my mouth (or off my keyboard) is intended to be funny on one or more levels. The remaining 0.1% is just straight BS. The fun part is trying to figure out the actual admixture...

Try turning off buff sending, both for you and your pets. MENU --> OPTIONS Windows Tab Status Window Buff Display Stop Sending All Buffs: Enabled Group Window Buff Display Stop Sending All Buffs: Enabled Pet Window Buff Display Stop Sending All Buffs: Enabled Also, it isn"t "double resolution". It's the Windows Screen Magnification. You may need to turn screen mag off, then turn Windows Resolution down so your native res matches your in-game Res.

Brownian Cessation Ice/Ice/Ice (Baby!) He DOES have CE. And it really doesn't do much for him. Mainly because he's built speed TFs. And don't worry, I don't have a need to team with you. So go ahead and block my Global. It'll save me the condescension.

Thinking of re-rolling some of my Brutes to Tanks - Talk me off the ledge
Hyperstrike replied to Achilles6's topic in Tanker
Let's just say there's something DEEPLY cathartic (and very Zen) about slowly sanding away at your opponent's HP. -
How did you never try them before? Because they were locked behind Red-Side for most of the game's existence. And Red Side is enough to make you go down the road and not across the tracks... Also, the fact that ATOs and Winter-Os have VASTLY improved the general performance profile of Stalkers.

You're running a tablet. This means you're running a low-voltage CPU that may also be down-clocked to manage thermal output as well. On top of that, you're basically using the on-chip video solution as well. Again, down-clocked for thermal reasons. For general desktop functionality? Perfectly fine. Because 2D and playing movies is not taxing a system much. Also, how much memory are you running, and how large is the SSD. Remember, the Pro7's lowest configuration is 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD (both of which are also given thermal specs to operate within). CAN you play the game? Yeah.... Can you play it in "Sleek & Sexy" mode without crashing into the unit's thermal protections? Doubtful.

Higher base HP. Higher Resist numbers (not GREAT, but not totally sucktastic). So, in general, more survivable. Damage-wise, you'll be like Happy Hogan in the Black Widow hallway fight in Iron Man 2. Where a Scrapper will be Black Widow... -

Hyperstrike replied to Achilles6's topic in Tanker
HEY! I AM A TANK! AND YOU WILL RESPECT MY AGGRO! Besides, I get hit in the head...A LOT... Plus, S & R are right next to one another on that alphabet thingee. And I'm normally more used to dealing with Super Strength than Super Reflexes. SO NYAH! -
But 100% true. For a Resist-Centric Tank. Maybe. But that's NOT what we're talking about here. For a Defense-based tank, not really. Hover and CJ deliver the same Defense at a fraction of the cost. Stealth, antithetical as it is to Tanking, delivers superior concealed Defense and identical unconcealed Defense at a lower cost. And yes, it helps teammates in a team environment. My primary concern is building the toughest possible tank, either solo OR teamed. Read it. And yes, for high levels, it's mostly true. For deep exemping, not always the case.

Here's a basic stab at SR/Stj -
If you are a Defense-oriented tank and you're taking Maneuvers, you've failed. End of story.

Honestly, I know that CE slows down incoming attacks. However, at those Defense levels, I'm not terribly worried.

Quick stab... Goes against some of what Hjarki says (and I agree with some of it). Just, was a last slot and nothing else really appealing in there.

Yes, but you used the word "she". The Big Red Cheese identifies as male and his preferred pronouns are he/him/his...

Help me use the in-game star system, please.

It might be that those nulls point to LIVE players (and their toons) that simply don't exist on HC. -
