Awesome. Now put both of those characters in a standard Arachnos or CoT PI radio mission.

You lied by implying I don't know how to play squishies. You attacked me, knowingly, stating as such. You not understanding my standards has no relevance. You're a liar and a troll and always have been. You're not capable of being anything else. The only person to doing the shitting in this thread has been you. It's usually you. You should have been permanently banned ages ago simply based on how you attack others regularly. Sad that you haven't been.

And no matter what definition of soloing I come up with, you'll deflect and obfuscate and misdirect and lie and there won't be any end to it. I've already offered up a chance for you to set the standards to prove what you say and you avoid it because you know you have nothing related to reality to stand on. You attacked me, I called you out on it, and you have nothing. As always. You've never been anything else but what I've already stated and you aren't capable of it.

You editing my post: Prove it. Edit: In other words, @arcane, you chose to attack me as a troll would with lies and now you're backpedaling like every little lying troll would.

No debate there other than if that same player picked a meleer and put the same effort into it, the meleer would be superior at soloing.

You attacked me with a lie. I can prove you lie with a simple video showing one of my trollers running at max diff. You're a liar. A troll. Time to go away.

I find the hatches detrimental on every character I've run through it because of ME, not the character. But I get the point. Please, show me a squishy and on what mission it does so well including its clear all time and I'll test myself against it with a wide variety of melee characters. I'm happy to be proven wrong. I've demonstrated that on the forums since I first joined in issue 1. Being proven wrong is how we learn to be better than we were and I'm all for that.

You're welcome.

I'm not missing any point. You make statements with no regard to reality and expect others not to call you out on your lies. Let's use inspirations. Let's use any rules you want. If you can't/won't bother doing that, then perhaps you should stop posting your lies while expecting not to be called out for them.

See folks? This is an opinion. It's not something that can be argued against. "I like more clicky sets because I have to work harder." Opinion. There's nothing to argue. Have fun. "Regen is as effective at mitigation as other armors." Statement: Easily disputed. "Folks that can't solo as well with squishies as with meleers just don't know how to play." Statement: Easily disputed. "Melee archetypes can solo faster than squishy archetypes." Statement: Easily proven.

Pick a standard. I'm curious as to what you'd come up with that would in some way show the superiority of a squishy soloing over a meleer.

There's probably a reason for that. Prove it.

ETJ, compared to your testing, where do you place your dom runs in comparison to the melee ATs designed for this sort of thing?

Well, @arcane?

20.1 damres to all > +190% damage.

New players wouldn't know if sounds got nerfed because they wouldn't know otherwise. I get your disapproval, man. Being on the other side makes me understand it. But it's not a hill to die on.

You fixed nothing. Just trolling as usual. Edit: No, really. Put up or shut up. Pick a mission. Put your squishy's time against my main's with zero faceplants. Let's go.

I'm so glad I hadn't just taken a beer sip.

In many cases, you need to add "in far less time" but I will be the first to admit your Warshade Trapdoor run was faster than my claws/sr scrapper's. I know how to fix it but it would mean a rebuild I don't wanna do.

And I state what I did in the last post as a guy who just last night got so fed up with how slowly my dark/time controller was getting through a mission that I fired up my 2nd account, brought in my fire/nrg tank and marveled at how quickly he decimated max diff CoT in comparison.

The OP is asking for help SOLOING. Telling him to team is the most worthless possible assistance.

Once again, seems folks underestimate the mitigation provided by being at range. Sent armor + mez protection + range > Brute/Scrapper/Stalker armor + mez protection. And it's all because enemy range damage is vastly inferior to enemy melee damage. Take that Sent into melee range and stay there, it's dying before the Stalker does.

Make it cost more converters, I don't care. I've got a bucket fulla HOs that aren't even worth putting on the market and I need more Micros. Thanks. -BZB

Back before the snap, I soloed 95% of the time. I tend to team more now because I'm a member of a regular group of players. Technically, I'm not part of their SGs as I have my own that all my characters belong to so that I have my own base but I'm on their Discord channel and at 9:30 EST on any given night, I can expect that I'll be playing with them. This has allowed me to play a lot of the archetypes that I generally avoided in the old days because it made it easy to do so. But it hasn't changed a fundamental fact of this game: The melee ATs can solo and do so well. The others suck at it. This doesn't mean it can't be done. My fire/dark controller can solo at +4/x8 against many enemy groups but it's slow as a turtle on quaaludes compared to how my melee characters rip through most everything. There are going to be exceptions to the rule. You will find some players that have managed to turn their squishy into something miraculous but it doesn't happen until incarnates are in place after 50 or if they're heavily leaning on the P2W vendor cheats. I'm not trying to sway you away from turning your controller into a soloing god. You can do it if you decide to and utilize ALL the tools available to us in this new CoH world. I'm only attempting to set expectations properly.

Good to know. Haven't experienced that myself.
