I don't as mine is a scrapper (and I'm not sure I even built her in Mids yet) but I will state that this combo's AoE with both forms on the +damage side and the tank AoE buffs is gonna be nice.

Yea, all 3 BZBs are claws and sr. I'll give it another go with Zariela, the SD/EM tank. Big difference between the two? Zariela's MoITF, no insps, no temps run was 1:23. BZB's was 1:51.

Looks like GTFO of tarpatch and use single target so you don't kill the soothsayers until last may be the way to go.

BZB Tank. +1/x8. 12 mins to mission in question. Or maybe this isn't it. Quick hunt, then door mission with DUST, then another door mission with slavers and shepherds, ok, next is Shepherd Haven, guessin this is it... And faceplant when I decided to pull 2 spawns. Nice! Yea, they're freakin nasty. 3 faceplants so far. If you don't get out of the tar patch immediately you're frelled.

Woot to 35 and Tough Hide.

I'll go have a looksy after the swipe/inv hits 35 tonight.

Aye, CoD still shows all the extra silly effects. It was an April Fool's Day event. And, no, there's no genius on my part here, especially since I'm using swipe instead of brawl. I will say, though, comparing this leveling spree to how long it took me to get the OG BZB to 50 back in Issue 1/2 (which I think was four months,) has been fascinating. Then again, being able to PL an alt to 50 in 2 hours should have given me some indication for just how much has changed since then.

Dinged level 30 which prompted another respec. Handling +2/x5 at the moment but will probably jump to x8 soon. Slowly lose end with the 9 toggles running but that'll clear up once I get more slots. Started eating my Experienced charges to speed things along. Edit: Honestly starting to wonder what her endgame build pylon time will be.... Edit2: Wrong build.

Friends don't let friends PUG.

I still enjoy soloing the DA arcs.

I'm currently soloing a swipe/inv scrapper through street sweeping and radio missions from 1 to 50. For a while I played a shield brute that used nothing but boxing, kick and crosspunch. SG buddy runs a nothing but temp powers build. There's all manner of insane things we can do around here.

Insert Why Not Both girl here. Go claws/sr, be softcapped and have focus and shockwave keeping everyone on their butts. I love stone melee and earth assault almost as much for the knock as the crunchy FX. Just checked: I've got a chance for KD in DNA siphon on my stone/bio brute. I should throw one in Genetic Contamination as well. So, yea, no argument here. KD and KU are freaking awesome mitigation. KB still sucks.

Carnie death drains aren't autohit, malta sappers can't sap what they don't hit, super sappers have to be in melee for their autohit, so when they're close to death, jump out and finish them with focus. This is not to say that a set with no end drain protection or recovery tools with 3 toggles (or 6 when you add in CJ, Tough and Weave,) won't run into issues. Quickness' +20% recharge reduction doesn't help either. Then throw on hasten's end suck every 2 mins.... Since my SR/Claws tank has 7 toggles (CJ replaced with tactics and assault,) I absolutely had to go ageless core but that's useless before level 45 exemplared. Even conserve power and physical perfection will go away before lvl 30 and 36 respectively while exemplared in his current build. Workable but true that it's something to keep in mind.

That when you hit 75? I don't get to check out until 2047.

ThrillMill, BillyMailman and I cranked up 801.2 at +2/x8 and, as expected, didn't have much trouble after several spawns, so assuming that these are designed for max diff, we dropped out, reset for +4/x8, hopped back in and made it through a few spawns before Billy faceplanted, I faceplanted and lastly ThrillMill's SD Tank ate some dirt as well. Always a good time taking new folks into those and I'm looking forward to seeing what the new hardcore mode will dish out for us.

Sooooo while +4/x2 was certainly doable, having to claw through spawns of mechmen and hoverbots with nothing but swipe and them spawning as +5s made me drop back to +2. Doable at the pace of a barbiturate laden snail is no way to go through life, son.

Any chance HC can be patched on to this? Or copy the stand-alone installer for i24? Course, that would also mean they'd have to keep an updated installer as they patch here and that's a pretty big ask.

I'm pretty sure we're ALL sure which it was.

Sounds like the old days. I jumped ship many moons ago because of how bad Radeon's drivers got/were/always will be apparently. But just in case, here's my ancient ATI Settings Guide from the old forums. Maybe there's something in there that'll help. https://web.archive.org/web/20120905072807/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=115069

Counter-proposal: Solo it so it's not as easy.

Level 25. Current build.

And I did restest. After all these years, brawl still doesn't crit. MADNESS!

Irradiated Ground is an archetype power and even in a primary and doesn't allow the AT IOs. Ice Patch, same boat, doesn't appear to allow for any Set IOs at all. But Blazing Aura and Burn both allow for Sets and AT. Seems to me there's quite a few powers out there that should take them that don't. And since someone using brawl (an inherent power that EVERY AT gets) is affected by their inherent (see controller containment and brute fury) then ALL inherents should function with it. Tank brawl should punchvoke. Scrapper brawl should crit. And Everyone should be able to slot it up with their AT IOs.

@Bill Z Bubba I can do 9 EST.

If you want to lead/schedule, my fire/bio sent is fully tricked out. I'm on Excel. Wed/Thu are SG nights but any other night I can swing a few runs.
