Interesting . . . in the BAFs I've done since this game has come back (I'd count about 50+) I've never noticed that called out as a tactic for any scrapper, or anyone. It's usually just pull Siege and Nightstar at appropriate times and the entire League goes to town. Usually there are enough folks beating on them that if one of the main targets get sequestered by Siege/Nightstar, they can dip out and the beatdown can still continue. For the BAF the main thing usually is just watching out that both die nearly at the same time in that last stage. But that just pure full on League damage. The adds that come with both over specific time periods we just ignore or they get mauled by splash damage. . . . and that's probably because enough of the League members by now aren't new incarnates that makes that possible. But I can see how it can be used in other situations.

But . . . Why? Why should a Scrapper be able to ever out taunt a tank? Not a challenge, just seriously curious.

I’d argue the problem with dark armor is its end consumption

Makes sense to me CP 😊

I’ve actually found this listing a bit funny. Since Kheldians don’t have to take dwarf form.

Pretty much established that some folks don't like AE and want to tell others how to play. Some say that's a terrible idea, which it is. Telling others how to play a game. You can pretty much lock this.

Regardless there are still plenty of folks asking for AE to be nerfed in some unnecessary way today. Just read some of the threads on these forums. The side show between you and others doesn't refute that fact. It all boils down to: gamers telling other gamers the 'right' way to have fun. Which will get the same response from me every time: /jranger.

Pretty much this.

They can play the tanking role as part of Dwarf form. But there are Kheldians who don't take dwarf form. The Kheldians are more a hybrid class/AT.

Yeah I pretty much don't expect anything for Dwarf form for either Kheldian. The Kheldian pass is probably later.

Same. Glad the team (of volunteers) is now expanding content.

Merits maybe?

I"m actually glad they are gone. Makes teaming for my khelds much more fun.

I disagree with every suggestion made, including the suggestion to change back the crafting table.

I wouldn't overly obsess about what other folks are doing. Play the game and enjoy yourself.

Yeah no. Not every brute can do that. And for the ones that do, they are built to handle a specific type of damage. You're not telling the full story here. Also balance shouldn't be around farming builds.

Probably a joke referring to super hero costumes and thongs in cheeks that were made popular during the 90s. aka psylocke's costume, aka rob leifeild (and generally IMAGE comics) female characters. I hope. . .

No further changes are needed to brutes. The changes for tanks as is are fine.

Honestly, for things like this I say the cottage rule be damned. (The same rule that Castle outright blunty said he had no issue violating if the need arised). SS needs to be modified.

Pretty much this.

Balance should NOT be around peak performance time, or "one true IO builds". Plenty of folks DON'T softacap their Brutes, Blasters, Controllers ETC. Or are we saying we'll only look at balance by IOs for Brutes and Tanks only? Aka what farmers do can be taken into consideration but it sure as hell should not be considered the "one true build".

Pretty much better explained than the explanation that I gave earlier in the thread about the level of complexity folks aren't considering. This doesn't even get into what happens at level 50 when you throw Incarnate abilities on top of that. Or are we going to look at IOs for balance but then ignore Incarnate abilities? Also some folks use purples and Attuned, while scale down to appropriate levels. And some don't. They just use set IOs that you lose the function of depending on their level.

Sure, but it should still be able to miss in pvp.

And what of those Brutes who don’t soft cap with IOs? I don’t build my brutes to be tankish nor do I take taunt on them.

I think it would be wiser to spend the time elsewhere, based on the type of team we have now.
