Congrats Miss Magical, well done (pun maybe intended...).

A good run on Everlasting tonight an ITF team and a missions team. Thanks for leading the ITF Kilo and thanks to ColTech and PapaS for leading the missions teams. Pics will follow. We're back on Indomitable next week 7/27. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there.**8/31 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading ** please note the corrected date for the BAF, apparently I have issues reading a calendar...

The one thing I will give PSi Melee is the animations are great and fun to watch, but the overall performance of set seems lacking to me. Based off your toon concept I'd say it is an excellent choice and you seem to be leaning that way. Energy Melee, especially now, is also and excellent set, but you have the "Pom-poms of Doom" (which can now be colored) as opposed to a PSi fist, PSi Blades and "mass fling" in Mass Levitation. So if the visual effect is what you want, PSi Melee is your choice.

After liking the term YEET Lazer, turned into name, and rolling the toon, I'm liking Sents for the first time. I'm having fun playing him and he seems to do pretty well for me. I was going to try the KB>KD proc in it as Bill mentioned above, but the distance KB'd isn't that bad and I try to knock the goons into a wall or other objects to prevent the team from having to chase them (although shooting them into a ramp of any kind and watching them sailing through the air in the "Hey I can see my house from here!!" fashion is fun). I do agree over all that both the KB and repel seems a bit much for the power. One or the other would be enough, with the KB being the easiest to mitigate. But, as other's mentioned it doesn't seem to be a deal breaker. The worse part for me is the delay in casting. I fire the BB off and the goon has to move position, so where I want them to go, sometimes isn't where they end up as they've been able to significantly modify the angle they were originally at. Maybe reduce the cast time to make up for the repel and KD?

I don't know what the toon's concept is, but those sets seem unrelated. PSi Melee for me was/is pretty "meh" except when pairing with Bio (maybe Rad too)(gets much better post 50). With SD it might be okay, but wouldn't be my first choice. Street Justice does well with Shield from what I've seen, it is a power set with combos, so if you're okay with that being part of the play style, it would probably be a good choice. Electric Melee is fun with Shield, but you need some major recharge to get the full benefit from the double teleport attacks (Shield Charge and Lightning Rod (?)(sorry can't check that power name atm). Just out of curiosity what is the concept, or what are you trying to build for? Although somewhat of a given (see sig) my favorite paring with Shield has always been Fiery Melee. Add a KD proc to Fire Sword Circle and with moderate recharge, you can get a power that cycles pretty quickly does decent damage (and it's fire!) and KDs a large number of goons.

Hi all, Just a reminder we're back on Everlasting tomorrow night. Also we're basically one month away from the all Tank BAF! So, now's the time to get your Tanker fined tune, or panic level them.

Missed you bud, looking forward to next month's run.

After all, what could be better than one Paladin at a TT event, but two! And what could be better than two Paladins? Three! Yes, that's right, after our Manti TF the Tanks returned to clearing their old archival from King's Row. Mission completed Paladin/s once again removed from the Tanker gathering spot. Although we were few, we were mighty! TTTRers were, MsA, Stellar Power, Ronin Around and myself. Manti done, check, Paladins removed from zone, check, two level until 50 check! We'll see you back on Reunion on 8/21! Hopkins seemed to have an almost chilling attraction for Ronin's toon... not sure what that was about... One Paladin tried the old "look like a tree" ploy to escape the Tanks...

I'm wondering if it is the debuffing aura on Rads. I play them the most and on my other Tanks (a good deal at 50) they would be using incarnate powers... so that might be the place to look. Duo'd my baby fire/elect tonight and didn't have much of the problem. I'll try to keep better track of when it happens. Although when I initially posted the thread, I think I was running an Electric /Stone Melee Tanker... so maybe not...

In a word "Yes", stay with DM. If you want to give SM a try I'd suggest either Electric Armor or Radiation for a little more zip in the Recharge and some damage or debuffing from the aura, depending on which set you go with. SS goes with anything, so save it for another toon. An optional paring I'd go with for SM, and not related to your toon's concept, would be Invuln. Slow at leveling (solo) but solid as heck on a team and near unkillable at 50+ (actually I think it's closer to 40+ depending on if you take Fault and how you slot it). I think DM's powers also match the character concept. No need to improve on perfection.

And this really is the bottom line on why to play a toon/Tank. Glad you enjoy it so much Tax.

Seems reasonable, we'll see you there.

I think Vann-aLeenn might be ColTech.

Well, I managed to make it on time and it was a fun event. Welcome to all the new and returning TTers. And thank you to PLVRIZR for running Synapse. I hear there were a few issues, but you ended up making it through in true Tanker fashion. Much leveling and Tanking was done on the missions/AV team tonight an thanks to all that added there AV missions to our run. 7/20 we're heading back Lor's server, Everlasting, for our next TTT! Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **This Saturday - TTT on Reunion 7/24, 10:00 AM Pacfic. ** 8/27 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading See you all soon!

Hi all, We're back in Torch tonight and once again life has stepped in and complicated my day. Hopefully I'll be there for the start of the event, but if I'm not, veteran TTers you know what to do! I'll see you all once I get on line!

I couldn't agree more, in fact, that is exactly why I rolled my Stone/MAer. It's slower than heck to take anything down... but funnier than heck to watch in the process.

A good way to check out different builds, playstyles and combos is at Tanker Tuesday. Next one is this coming Tuesday the 13th on Torch. See the Tanker Tuesday posts for more info. Start time is 6:00 PM PDT, meet in King's Row by IP Gate. Bring a Tank and check out what's going on.

Hi all, I need to correct the date for July. This month we'll be on Reunion on the 17th (mistakenly posted it with July's date). So this month we'll be on Reunion on the 17th.

Lots of fun on Excel tonight. Plenty of levels and much Tankiness. Got my baby Rad/Spines up to level 28 by the end of the event, so ready to get his new powers and get him ready for the next Excel run! Thanks Kilo for leading the missions/xpies express and Lor for running the TF (Numina's(?)). Also Thanks to PLVRIZR for running Infernal for the last mission of the night. TTT on Torchbearer next week 7/13. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **8/27 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading

Anyone else having issues with their connection to Excel? Mine is currently very laggy. I'm going to reboot and hopefully by TT time it will be a smoother ride.

When the set was originally released I had tried my Elect/Elect with the enhancement in 5 powers. Needless to say at the time it didn't work, although I didn't know at the time there was an issue with that enhancement. I just reslotted and went on. I haven't revisited that toon yet as he's pretty solid as-is and there' not much reason to change his slotting. I am leveling a couple other */ElectM toons and will try the enhancement there.

It's all a blur to me...

Lol, love the term, stole the name for a toon. Sorry bud, you can have it on any server except Torch.

July 6th, we're back on Excel. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get going from there! **8/27 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading

We were few, but we were MIGHTY!!! Tanks vs Dropship... could we do it??? Although a bit of a pain, not even the dropship could escape the Tankers wrath! Good job all and thanks for sticking with it. I think on lap 3 or 4 we got it. LOL!
