  1. Its failings are most obvious in situations where, say, a dominator roots all the mobs in place before you can bundle them. On an Invulnerability tanker mobs that you passed by would stay interested in you for a bit when they became unstuck. On a Willpower tanker, not going to happen. Willpower is God's gift to scrappers and sentinels; On brutes, depends on what you want to do with your brute; on stalkers I don't have enough experience to say. When it was introduced: it was one of the few tanker primaries with a sustain power that wasn't on a very slow click. This was so big a novelty that I rolled several willpower tankers. Their shortcomings soon became fairly obvious. Holding aggro on a Willpower tanker was more work, and expectations had to be lowered. The advice in the old guide I wrote still holds good. But I came to the opinion that powers that just work without being fussed at are better. And there are several tanker primaries with sustain powers as good or better (Bio and Rad are the ones I've tried.) Those sets are also good to excellent for holding aggro. Willpower no longer holds its advantages exclusively, and as such I'd recommend something else that's just as fun, almost as tough, and tanks better.
  2. B 52s - Mesopotamia
  3. Steve Martin - King Tut
  4. Tool - Wings for Marie / 10000 Days
  5. What I find amusing is that Heraclea's costume is all blacked out except for the Hellenic Sandals, which are still yellow.
  6. For female characters, one of the Gunslinger pants options may come close.
  7. White Shape - Perfect Dark
  8. I want to see someone solo Kahn.
  9. For reasons I have never really understood, WP has a much less strong Taunt aura than any other tanker sets. Some are even stronger in that the aura does damage, and as a result invokes Gauntlet. It used to be that WP was the only outlier here; now Super Reflexes has joined it.
  10. I cheerfully admit that Heraclea began her existence as an homage to Wonder Woman. My Wonder Woman fandom isn't what it used to be, mostly because I was absolutely disgusted by DC's mistreatment of the character and her world in the New 52. I don't read much DC any more. She and Wonder Woman have gone separate paths; it starts with the fact that Heraclea's Amazons are Romans rather than Greeks. Give them time to develop. If you treat your characters as characters rather than chessmen, characters that started off as homages will take on more and more original features.
  11. Brian Jonestown Massacre - Hide and Seek
  12. Rod Stewart - I'm Losing You
  13. Mobs under debuffs apparently will behave quite randomly at times. Willpower's Rise to the Challenge has a debuff effect (-tohit) and a very brief taunt effect, much shorter than some other tanker taunt auras. I suspect the debuff from your aura was outlasting its taunt effects. Ran a Numina a few days ago with a TW/WP scrapper and no real tank. I could not hold aggro on the scrapper when my big AoEs were down. Jurassik took off down the hall as if feared. I did not slot RttC for taunt on the character; it is slotted for extra debuffs (Dark Watcher's Despair) and is not slotted for taunt. This is 'normal' if annoying behavior for debuffed mobs. Tossed a smoke bomb at a Rikti Assault Drone during a zone event on a blaster. Soon as it started to go down it took off towards God knows where.
  14. Is this part of the story that yields the War Hero badge? I happened on it entirely by accident when I ran that mission.
  15. I also have a SR/Katana tanker, currently at 28. I had planned this character to use for soloing AE arcs and incarnate material. Set aside for now; SR apparently has a weaker, WP style taunt aura, and SR takes time for all the pieces to fit together. Will finish her some day.
  16. Nico - Janitor of Lunacy
  17. If your character uses anything but their hands to attack - say, a broadsword - that in itself justifies a Technology origin. A broadsword is technology, Mind you, most of my broadsword characters would be at a loss to explain how their broadsword works.
  18. Not familiar with Habashy's arc. It's a smoky, burning deserted office building with pentagrams and fires on the floor. And on the walls, posters of the Hellions' favorite bands.
  19. I've also experienced this bug, most recently failing to convert an Aegis Psi/Status to a superior version.
  20. Many, yes. I still have great fondness for the early game Hellions door mission you get from Azuria. Not so much the mission itself, but the unique map it's set on. Firemullet ROCKS!
  21. I have an Archery/Devices blaster that I am seriously getting a kick out of. This character was made for a specific purpose, assuming the trick or treat event can be turned on here: /Devices is queen of Halloween. Another character I've been enjoying is a kinetic/rad scrapper. This one's being built for speed.
  22. Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
  23. Yma Sumac - Chuncho
  24. Bette Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up
  25. Been a long time since I've played an Ice tanker? Can they be slotted in Icicles or Chilling Embrace? That is the obvious place to put procs - if the powers will take them. Otherwise, they belong in your quickest recharging AoEs: Thunder Strike or Lightning Clap, Jacob's Ladder if you had it.
