Bill Z Bubba

This must be why I was able to solo a Werner rules ITF with my SR/Claws tank. Much gimp, no meta. Now I get it.

Only thing you can do is head to Ouroboros and talk to the fairy lady. You can buy huge insps from her and sell them on the market. Would be nice if we could instead convert them to emp merits.

I honestly can't remember if I ever soloed it back before the snap. So this all makes sense. Still not as fun as it's been the last two years but I get it.

Character has base +45% Acc. Mids is showing Followup to be sitting at 175.3% Acc. Single stack of followup adds 11.75% tohit buff. I really shouldn't be getting strings of misses cycling through follow, focus, slash trying to get followup to land even once. Yes, I was at max diff, like I do.

A dev would need to explain the specifics, as I know I'm getting it wrong, but it looks like a power that was disabled, that functions like phalanx fighting, was turned back on when it should have been re-enabled back on live. A move I support in general. It was probably the right move but missing a lot definitely removes enjoyment from the game for me. Again, builds can be changed. Just soured me out this morning.

Your "fix" for cimeroran stacking defense now makes the entire thing a whiff fest of deflected messages. It's not more difficult, it's just more boring. It was unnecessary. Yes, I could alter my builds to add more acc and tohit buffs, or buy offense amps or chew through yellow insps but instead I just won't bother anymore.

I started to dig through CoD to show that Claws is probably the best DPE attack set available to melee ATs but then remembered I'm old and lazy.

They ain't wrong. But also ain't no point discussing it.

That's why I buff HP and Regen along with DamRes. <.< >.> Shield is a superior set in the end. Shield Charge + more HP and more DamRes with *enough* DDR after doublestacking Active Defense make it so.

That's a nice build, @Mezegis You could dump that third slot in hasten and just +5 the 2 remaining basic rec-red IOs. I didn't go the Rune route with mine as I was more concerned with cranking up his HP and Regen. And as @Soverapoints out, Shockwave with a KB->KD proc is your friend. Without it, your AoE output, regardless of the glory that is Spin, will be hurting. Here's mine for comparison/ideas. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1398;678;1356;HEX;| |78DA5D944B4F135114C7EFD099297D8950694128B408B6503AEDE0130A92208F803| |4418B2E4C0C19F0521B9BD27420C2D2AFA00B3746D4B872E177F04BF85CBA61C3C3| |6774550F73FEA98D93B6BF3B67EEB9FFFF39776E73DBD3FE37730F2785E2BF5AB26| |C7B65D92ADF97552D67158A6B822EFF94254BD1DBD1A9ADD555CB4D8108CF589996| |EBB26C4B23BF55A1BB1B72BD24B7A5DD86A7395992D2A0251FD8C2BBB4B15132F21| |529EFFA9CE16CA958B8B719E0F1F1B0582EF89DBB456955E826385329AE19336559| |2DECACE42C7B5356773A48BB9FBE9742F4A31C5BABB9C4814B0853154D874CFD1BF| |344BBE2F0695CE0AAD1872E7199B215642B4EB68E6C1DD93AB275F18CB25D9CADB9| |E24D4E4C4D8083CCE621664792D9F39618D4C518E968AC23B418C1F4883E6A9F9B6| |38A3BC9B166D047CF3C70EAE9621FE3B4868FE76B3E78F5C3ABFF88D9FF951987F7| |C1EFCC2CE50638570DCC726C780E9C07179826EA7D4EF5B6A0DE9651AEE7E418986| |5B68DA3DE09D43BC96B8C925E2BFADA0ABD14F452D04B41EF05E9049D2DAC69C177| |1C3BF51EFCC03CFD11FCC4ECF9CC9C209D76E8B443270D9D34D64F5FC3BE524FC3E| |869D8D97D17453AD1D1CE1F3C2BF613FC0DFE416747C030254474F1925C77A13B5D| |29AEBEDB00D3CC680634C1615E4325DD085C47E07A08AE4D74C784FB10CDEDC59BD| |38B9DD9A5477DA8A40F6FCC2BF233003F0323AC77F61C781EBCC08C5F04BFA80E5F| |078448E0ED48ECE1CDD907E7E9419CFC2D804F38F70A753E095FC92C4177090F793| |5E0CBC099DB255F19C4327693131B54EB67B6D6ADFE7F26171B235879494502C514| |67D6BEB77E728592E21E1C34C6121C3BFC17D394EBDCBF501E5C669EB909DE02635| |CFB91B7E1DFE111D7ED7D0CA20F6DBFB8874B34D7444DAB0D63AB617CA7612C42F5| |135EFB0B7505CE0F| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Ran 5 AE clear alls the other day and neither the PLer nor the PLee received a single PvP or Purple drop. Hell, there was only 1 orange salvage between the 2 of them as well. I found that a bit odd.

My Shield/EM tank used darkest night during her Werner Rules ITF run. Served her well.

Such build heresy. 30somethin feels right for full T4. I also email transcendants around and hasten the process when possible. I remember incarnate advancement on live for soloists and it was friggin painful AF. I'm very thankful for the current speed.

This is the way. I've got a bio tank but I've found that in areas with defense debuffs and slows like the ITF it becomes rather brittle. But that's solo. On teams, so many buffs/debuffs are flying that its layered protection keeps it in a happy place and if things get really ugly, you can always slap it into defensive mode.

A thumbs up ain't enough. That looks frelling awesome.

slap it all in quotation marks. /bind z "powexec toogleon white dwarf$$goto tray 4" should work.

While true, you only need one of those to lead a squad of sidekicks to victory against +4s. They may faceplant during the run but they'll get a ton of XP for their troubles.

There's a reason I played on Pinnacle. And it's the same reason I so often have had to say, "I did what? When? To whom?"

I have one of those at 50. Thinking back on her, she was always more enjoyable than the fire/time. Perhaps it's time for that lvl 50 respec and some incarnate work.

There's a reason Bill Z Bubba has never been seen without his cigar. Were I to do another Wolvie clone, I'd definitely go claws/wp since regen is still the worst scrapper secondary.

For way too many years now, my main claws/sr scrapper (and for a time brute... and yea, he works great as a tank, too, but the scrap/brute are still more fun) was the tip of the iceberg on fun/intense/joyous but lately a newcomer has crept up the chain and may one day top him: My earth/earth dominator, Terra from Teen Titans ripoff, named Gaea's Savagery. There's just so much right going on there. Awesome mitigation, solid damage and all the oh so glorious crunching sound fx flying all the time. She's just freakin brutal.

If only we could have that assault/armor archetype so I could make a thorn/bio Swamp Thing. Course, I'd also make a ton of others. Nrg/SR, Earth/*... earth assault/armor would be so freaking awesome.

For me it was the sounds and not the visuals. Some powers led to instant headaches. Oubliette_Red's thread above and the same methodology back before the snap saved many a character and my sanity.

I don't know the answers to these questions but Taunt is still showing 15' on CoD. https://cod.uberguy.net./html/power.html?power=tanker_melee.claws.taunt&at=tanker And here's gauntlet. https://cod.uberguy.net./html/power.html?power=inherent.inherent.gauntlet&at=tanker But I'm not seeing anything about taunt that would lead me to believe it's NOT affected by the gauntlet buff...

We just ignore him until red/yellow/green are down.
