Just my .02 inf.: SS without Rage is like Macaroni without Cheese. Rad is an excellent pairing, because of the diminished effect of the -def on Rage crash. Multiple ways to also diminish the effect of the -dam (procc'd attacks, prestige attacks - Sands of Mu/Blackwand/Nemesis Staff, taunting, repositioning and/or repositioning-herding of mobs).

Trying to find a "trustworthy" player to transfer infl. between toons. Making all Mutant origin toons because the Mutant store was close to the Steel tram and hitting lvl 12 and racing there (without dying) to load up on DOs. FINALLY hitting 14 and getting a,...wait for it...TRAVEL POWER!!! Very first time my Kin/Dark 'fender teamed with a SS tank, over level 18 and watch the windup of Knockout Blow. Amazing! Getting that same 'fender to 50, by teaming with a Stone tank on the Chimera ninja map and speed boosting that granite/SS pile driver to herd half the map at a time. I think I went from 42 - 50 in about two hours. Turning off all powers and jogging back to Ms. Liberty, to train, after dinging 50, regardless of where you were. Usually Peregrine Island...

My pleasure! We were a small team, but we were mighty! @Warboss, @Spaghetti Betty and I finished a +2/4 (we thought we were going to start with four, but one didn't accept the LFG port and was dropped, by the UI) in 1:01 with no defeats. I took my Inv/DM (homage to Heraclea's original build) and it was a cakewalk. 😆

And with two SS, one RadMelee and I forget the other two, a whole lotta AOE love to go around. Thanks for leading, it was a blast.

Also a great gangster name 😆

Love lore-driven choices. Ignore those that will say "this and that are better because...." Roll with it. I have an Elec/Elec who is amazing. Also a FIre/FIre who just melts everything. Look forward to seeing your final build with Fire/Elec. Rock on!

What drove you to Electric Melee for a Fire Farm build?

For teaming: Inv/SS/Pyre 😆 (yes, I'm the oldest of old-school)

Once you've done and enjoyed either of those, you've just *got* to have a FIre/Fire/Pyre in your stable. Very survivable (not as much as Rad and Bio, obviously), but killing things before they can hit you is better than Defense, Resistance and Absorb Shields, combined 🙂 /of course insert some sarcasm, before the hardest of hard core tanker posters vilify me.../

Super grats to @Pep Rally for hitting 50 with her shield tank, on the end of TF (killing Reichsman) ding. I've played this game a long time and there's not much in the game as gratifying as being on a team when a teammate hits that magical 50, regardless of how many 50s we have. We spanked Reichsman and the entire TF in 38 min., at +2, so it was a GREAT night. Grats again Pep. You rock and we were honored to be there for your latest 50. Catch you all, next week.

See sig 😆

We even exited the first mish, really almost immediately after the first herd, sent tells, quit and reformed the TF. Sometimes it just happens (or doesn't). I blame WB (as usual)...

SB wins the herding award. You were a herding machine last night (as always). Numina can be a grind, but we had a couple SS toons (two Inv and one WP, methinks) so it was pretty cake-walkie. Nice job on the hunts, too. Always fun to play with "smart" tanks (is that an oxymoron?)...

Somehow we only managed a six-tank team, but we were mighty! Ran it at +2/8 and finished in 1:11 (IIRC). Good times were had by all and lots of leveling (along with quite a few Devouring Earth vanquishes.

I've been running a SR/Savage, on the TT Saturday tour, and he's been a blast. Mid-30s, with only common IOs and the Tanker ATO procs (and a few uniques, for good measure). He's really tanky and does a $hit-ton of damage, to boot. I've never run SR on a tank, so just leveling with every power and trying everything out. For that matter, haven't run SR on anything but a scrap, on live, pre IO system, before...so am certainly no expert. Have fun and, as David Lee Roth famously said..."tell us how you do!"

Nice pic!...and good thing Warboss wasn't in it! [From L - R it's SB, ZemX and me (as PWDRKEG)]

My pleasure, as always. We had a full team (some ex'd down incarnates and some just making the Hess level requirement), but blasted through a KM +2/8 in 38 min. Notable mention to @Spaghetti Betty and @ZemX for leading the herding, as I was fiddling with team management and working with teammates to make sure everyone had TT (or had enough cash for the next event 😆). Hope to see you, Saturday on Reunion!

My pleasure and we had a ball. Seven tanks, with a nice mix of Ex-d 50s and 30-ishes, finished a kill through (kill most) +2/8 in 1:01. No screenshots but the herding was glorious. Also a shout-out to @Agoogala for taking over the team for the missions hook-up in PI, after.

That was me...one of the ways I fill the SD "no heal" hole (Rebirth) and yes, I was watching your health bar. Your near-death experiences and my Rebirth recharge were in sync, for sure. Full-service teammate tank, baby. I have no place to talk, however, since I'm not sure how my fully incarnated, SD/Dark tank was practically one-shotted by LR, to start that sequence, so I just went over to help with the towers. 😆 You did great, by the way!!!

My pleasure. Yin Team 1 did not take as such a "leisurely pace" and even with a kill most (if not all) we finished in 25 min. (at +2). Impressive, considering the number of mid-level/non-incarnated tanks on the team. Sadly, my camera's lens cap was on, so no screenies of Clamor "going down"... probably best, anyway.

Thugs/Dark. Just because THUGSRUS is such a hoot to play. Necro/Dark as close second.

Probably, but resistance armors are MUCH better on tanks and broots, due to the higher caps.

Paging @Snarky

There was a vampire-only SG on Champion, way back in the day. Found it late, and don't remember the name, but they accepted my vampire themed Kin/Dark defender. Nosfera-too was my very first 50 on live, in 2004 (yes, my first 50 was not a tank, horror be told). I remade him immediately on HC and still is hella fun.

WB and I always ended up in the same place, though. Glorious to see 8 tanks herd mobs of 50+....good times, for sure. Nice teaming with you again!
