Warboss

Market Crash/Moonfire team (we did both ;))

We had a good turnout on Excel tonight and were able to run three TF teams. Thanks to ColTech for leading one of the Market Crashes and Ronin for leading the other. Also thanks Hera for running the Moonfire TF. TTT on Torch 6/08. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there. **6/29 is an all Tanker MSR on Indom! **8/27 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading

No worries, we're still working on getting everyone one the same page for the massive herds. I wasn't very vocal about pulling points. We're all still getting used to each other. Soon we'll be able to get whole maps pulls going. ;) Well... other than the MSR on Indom next month when you all can go to town.

* Translation: Kilo got you all killed...

Fun times on Indom. We had a missions team run Manti and then not having enough they rand Posi 1 (and maybe Posi 2) before retiring for the night. The missions team tackled the AVs of Paragon and sent them to the Zigg Tanker style! We're back on Excel 6/1. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get going from there! **6/29 is an all Tanker MSR on Indom! **8/31 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading See you all soon!

Hi all, Looks like King's Row might be an issue tonight on Indom. If you get the choice between KR and KR2, let's choose KR2 and see if we can get everyone in there. If we're still have trouble getting everyone into the zone, we'll switch to IP, the gate right on the other side of KR.

Hey VV, As other's have stated, on a Tank it's pretty "ho hum" damage wise. Which is too bad, because the animations for the most part are pretty fun. Bio is probably on of the better (if not the best armor set to pair it with). I think one of my attempts with it was on Bio/Psi and once I was able to get some meaningful sets into it did get better. I have an Ice Armor/PSi Tank, which is okay. I'm not a big fan of Boggle, as I have a hard time understanding why a Tank would stand in combat twiddling their fingers at opponents instead of hitting them. Overall I think it's a very thematic set and I've seen some really cool color modifiers and costumes to emulate certain "lantern" characters. I might try it again, but for now, the one I have are enough. I'd probably try it with Electric Armor. Seems like you could make a very "sapperesque/'troller" type of Tank.

Fun times on Everlasting tonight. We run two TF teams, Hess and Lady Gray. Thanks to MsA for running Hess and either Hera or Lor for leading Lady Gray. We're back on Indomitable next week 5/25. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **6/29 is an all Tanker MSR on Indom! **8/31 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading - discussion and cunning plan to follow... Warboss (newest one) getting ready to take the mech for a test drive.

Hi all, we're back on Everlasting tonight and once again RL commitments will have me running late. Vet TTer's please go ahead and get things rolling and I'll join when I can. Take care all, see you soon!

Thanks for posting that Ronin. Here's another shot. Also thanks to MsA for taking the start this Saturday and running missions prior to the TF to get everyone in range! We'll be back on Reunion 6/19. See you all next week on Everlasting!

Cool, thanks for the response and the explanations.

Thanks for the feedback Sovera, much appreciated. Just a few questions so I can better understand the changes. Yep, I hear what you're saying, but I've always liked Fire Melee and it's done well by me. If I ever figure out my love of the set I'll let you know, but basically it's fire. How necessary is the additional S/L with a Melee Def of 45%+. Is it to add mitigation for Ranged and AoE S/L attacks? Ageless was taken more for the + Recharge and team buffing. Although on the first iteration of Warboss I did have Barrier. I'm not sure what you mean here, 6 slots of Armageddon gives 6% Psi and Toxic Resist. Am I overlooking a Defense benefit? Thanks for your time. I'll definitely look at combining your suggestions with my build.

Hi all, As you may know from TT's and other events, forum threads, or my sig, I'm a big Rad/Fire fan. I've been running Warboss under a slightly different build than I'm posting here, but am looking for feedback on this revamp of the build. I dropped Tactics in favor of getting him Meltdown (I know, I know... I should have been running that from the beginning, but I haven't and he's a pretty solid Tank). Things I would like to do, but not required: get that remaining 3% Melee Defense back if possible, maybe get Tactics back (although at this point I don't think it's necessary), add more PSi Resist outside of Meltdown and the Incarnate powers. Thanks in advance for checking the build out. I look forward to your comments. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1437;680;1360;HEX;| |78DA6D944B6F524114C7E7C2455A0A520A08B442295A01415AD41A9F69AC15172D4| |9D3AA5BBC2923BD11018126BA34B1BEE2B39B6ED49AB8F70318377E099F5FC057AB| |89EF151EEEF9B790B413E037F73CE6FC67EE19B297C7EDCF4F5D1D158AFD4451ABD| |572A7B5D20559B564B5823E2B9AC34ADF105B73E3F2BC2CD5646A5ACBEB5A5D2F97| |72C7AB17CB553FDC5959943295D165F50ACF857DAA5C2EA626A556D14B059BF1305| |39132EF30A619BD30572787732D2A2FABB539BDE23D59D1675363D5F9BACC65E773| |59AD56A725FD242449DFDB51FA519AD21A16F1D32C445A15A65FE06FA6FA07FCCB1| |CFAC774D90446C32C2E990CDB961A186376C4992FE35486EB0865896D77A8B6996D| |66336A77A0B60D356DA8E9A65A16E8B43C520D9BFD31F884B975197CCAEC1EE5DCB| |B54C78A5C2BEA74A34E0FEAF4ACED6D2F33EDA384A02AEE516EA771400D4BA7609F| |67D564F83C9FF979DB17F02BD3FF1171A4B98BEB2A5D15DEB31FE7739FD6751807D| |2108E576473533E758713E7E1F42846DC762FF883D70C4D301F50BE0B7B72A15EE8| |13085D61E80A435778053A49979BDF9BE27EC67A0696993ED2E0659FF0F6717C846| |C3EECC397107C3EE043D211808EC041AC75083CCCDC71043C0A1E432DD2D187DCBE| |D75C6BE71BF02DF88EB9EB3DF801BD499A82E8A7E002AFB7485AFAB1AFFE3839A31| |43FC2E7778ED222E8D5C834C74767C033A0C9623040BA06A16BF01AF7527C01BCCE| |DC7D03BC09DE629A49570CEF30865E8BA3D792E8B5247A4D232438564DEC670DC91| |1E69E7DE00110DA545A3FC539A6147A6308BD9276315D14338CB3195EEB1F75FDAE| |D2878688ABEB37BF31B9C13BA5C2D9BCAF8665C5D676830DCBB796455106784FBD6| |7B9DEEA86E8EFEDD1F807E85D6436361913D4A269E8DB6CBC88B4FC4B6DB1195F6B| |1EF0B4E6FF015088054E| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Hey Axe, that's an interesting build. As one who's struggled with PSi Melee, how do you like Boggle? I noticed you six slotted it for Purples, are you using that as a mule or do you actively use the power (I didn't care for it much and think it's a bit out of place on a Tanker (note: this is not a criticism, but my own opinion based on my experience playing the set). And have you seen the proc firing on Against All Odds? If so how frequently? Thanks for posting the build. I always enjoy seeing how others build out their Tanks.

Great run on Torch tonight. Two Citadel teams and one missions team. Thank to Ronin and Hera for taking teams. Much fun and leveling was had by all, and I manged to the "Witty Award" on my team. Good fun! **Also, 5/15 is our Reunion TTT, meet in King's Row by IP gate at 10:00 AM PDT.** **Next week (5/18) we're on Everlasting! Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there.** **6/29 is an all Tanker MSR on Indom! So get your Tanks ready!**

Yes, and they work well for roman style manica as well.

Hey Blue, You should see a slight gray amount of bar appear in the green HP bar. If you're in heavy combat you might miss it. I looks a lot like the absorb bonus in HPs that you get from Rad Armor and Bio Armor, but a much smaller amount.

Just a quick reminder (possibly more for me...) we're on Reunion this coming Saturday. Meet in King's Row by IP gate at 10:00 AM PDT. Hope to see you there!

There's a thread a few pages back that covers Bio/Dark. Might be worth a trip there and see what they were doing. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/26891-biodark-tank-assistance/ I put this together based off of one of the posts there (@Hew's, I think)... There certainly looks like there's may ways to roll this combination. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1536;752;1504;HEX;| |78DA6594594F135114C7EFB4174B4B4BA9B4B42C055A96D2164B4779700D1141A35| |22571893E3563B9D281B16DA645519F4C5C3F818F3EF8EE07F03BB8C7FD0B48648B| |288A4AEAE93D874AD249E077EFB967F99F73679A9A1F733E39766B8429CE2386562| |CA6CF6AB95961DA4E69A5395333183CFC9221B2365874E3597A4C5C16B9A2488CEA| |F9F469735ACBE999F461F34ADE0C92434A184224C60D9129997A4633D0E0399ECB0| |A53E44A89AD8573329F371213422BE8B96997DC1CD5A7B325D839E4EE4C418829F7| |96D794308B59BDE01B2FE899C4A8395712E9D45C3AA5154BC2BC1E008183F0B7D60| |3FF948AEEB285AD73C6541BE32B48EF7945F299BBEAC3D939409833CB05E245249F| |418666812A67CF2146C1983AE50197B6C1DBC43BC85D7789F788F791DF40931563A| |DD6246AD8314C5491F5BBAD922FA04E1D436D7537B176D35564EC06F11A72701EF9| |03F2DB307FF93BACEDD4BFDD87B91D5E6213F225D468C01AD686AC45E6701AC4196| |4A38EDC807C2ED2EEFA5AD168678D8B5679165A40F67F41FB6FF07593AF5BF609DA| |87913B55A21F18B4B13FE0EB51B89CA767016A0539F32E235B16895E9C492080750| |28750D32BD0DF4C77D1FC0ECF3A3FA36FFF7BD2F40119F948FC847C0DB13EEC5DF1| |3DC67CDD8F902DF096FB69767E1FEA8D6E32A925E6C5BD023EAD18CF5ACBF0302B5| |8DAA9EB76EABA83BAEEA0AE431B58FD0D540F92F2603F56ED8C1007484D941843F6| |C6917EA8D34595BBDA31DF5F986298F2854770023D728AC005E212B297DEA65E86B| |16F414B1FBD697D7BB146641F32BA1F397480781019060D03584F19883379EB51A2| |07CEE2A42F4ED3DB047D09266F594990DF1091837F92E6965C434DEA4922C5AB34F| |528AF7EB1E50ECEE82957B67003133596494EEE6051A465C951FD7EC9B25C635971| |54A32C4A0895D42FE154DB4EC04984B3D5FF518AB28EDF77DB2A3256A3235963516| |B2C7B6A2CC335167B13ABDC9AECFF69188AE14CF179D85C31E0E1CFCA4F01ADD7B7| |AD7F6D5B8F54FC6998FF00710A0FC5| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

I begrudgingly do this, but that's just me and I am getting better at it (somewhat..). Not that it's wrong, I just feel I should be able to design my Tanks to us insps as little as possible. That said, it's only MY approach, the skittles are in the game for a reason. I'm just a stubborn Tanker. This, if there's one thing I could tell someone, it's to understand what your Toon/Tank can do, and Tankers are really fun to push to the limit. Massive pulls in TT, taking on AVs, and completing raids/content that we (historically) "weren't supposed to be able to...". Thanks for the write up Kilo.

Glad you all enjoyed the event. We'll see you next week on Torch!

Good turnout tonight on Excel! Two mission teams and one Sewer Trial (pic above) (thanks for posting Ronin). Thanks to all who attended the event and a special thanks to all team leads: MsA, Kilo and Mrym. Torchbearer next week 5/11. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **Looking to run an all Tanker MSR on Indom on 6/29 for the next 5th Tuesday of the year!**

Well... as stated and since it is the Tanker forum, I'm going to say Tank as well. But, I will say it depends on what you're after. If you're looking for something that can survive about anything go Tank, if you want DPS and "Kill Fast" then go Scrapper.

Power set wise, you could exclude one of the Mallets (probably the first one would be best), or you could remove Maneuvers. It's all a matter of taste and play style. As-is, I'm not sure you'd need Hasten, but if it's something you want, there's room in the build for trade offs. Remember, you can use incarnates to up your recharge time as well, and with your Resists already pretty much maxed (except Toxic) you have freedom augment other parts for your build.

I had forgotten how easy to IO Electric is. Here's one take on how to make it. The build has plenty of room for customization depending on what you want out of it. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1339;635;1270;HEX;| |78DA65934B6F12611885BF6186D6B6507A81425B68A1E50E85F20B8CDAEAA2109BD| |4B83051243852220219A8ADEE4CAC973FA04B17EEFD15DEDD7BDD7AD7AA8989311A| |836F39C76AD209C333F37EE77BCF993733858D05C7ED4317F72ACD71A0566AB58A4| |74AF533A6652F942AD5B2DA3E7AE50CA05A5C304F9BF5969959AC99E5B6552D17F7| |59671B968FAB05B3669A999576A36EE25A39961B8D5A266F969AD57AC5D9BD3958A| |DACB677DDB9FE0A4F99566BB5DAF42C36ABE5CC7E6BAD2DADD68A8552AB6D5AE77D| |12655ACE3B2EF9D3B6C375EC2A2C173143D92264143462641CEC4980B3FD8A47475| |7C754B7B6E73859B029953354FF1278577C34F8E8DA3985B50BA0639DBC016D58FA| |EAECAB6FA236C8FE83EC3F7402BC277DEDCC6F67FE1EE61F62FE11E61F617E37F34| |7C4A7977B7B9FE85D1FF75370EC19F91CF4BD205F82F7C5B78F7BFBE83B41DF09FA| |FAE9EBA7EF147D1FC8DE01CE62807B83DC1BA236C4BD0F45EBA48FF31DBC67DF931| |FC0F047F213B90546E5F95C98A3E66A618EC126F8481686D1570DCF61FE71D18F72| |EEA379E8A287C90D110784EB604CB41EF6F6DC822676131C93F7DCCBE7F3FE56D07| |B346896902DF10D7C2C39C6BB2F46471FFF6E60ED27F90B4CFE00BDD277129E6A72| |12FB939223809A3D7009BAA96B60E82AF76F9297C1F415D026FDA6398369BE67BAD| |46650D3667C78D6592F9812AF08BD2251E8D309702E4526C938988D8127256E1C7D| |6DF157C89E7E0366DF8225418AF34F51937D0DE6A8C9D9EC5D1A9233C39C19CE36E| |70687656D9E739AE79ADFD8F956E527874A183B5F7E27BF6B75D9E0A254B46E65AB| |7FE70B66E5CBBF8AA685906FEA28FC3EEF527FFD5FCD2F3D781DFC038630C575| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
