Mr. Vee

It's pretty much a wash. Charged is +1 in DPA according to pine's. So pretty much use whichever you prefer. All other things being equal i'll take shorter animation. There are many who'd default to higher damage in such a scenario though.

srsly?

It's the steel sig arc. look for the book

the 100k? turn off your shields and go to the abyss (submarine in south Grandville). pick a fight with some GMs. Hospital is super close if you need to repeat. That should blow you past the 100k and the 200k you need for High Pain tolerance in a couple rounds.

Yes, just kill. If you want exp for them run first mish of veluta lunata's arachnos ghost story arc in ouro or at level.

I wrote out what I do leveling up for the passive accolades and demonic/magus. Echoes a lot of the OP and subsequent posts but focuses on order a bit more for those leveling/wanting exp. Spoilering/uploading cuz wall of text. Accolade_Guide_Forums.txt

Yeah morty's a mixed bag of pain - melee would have trouble with posi and monty et. al. would rough up the squishies. Mantis is a pretty easy solo, just a bit of a slog to kill enough defenses at the end to spawn Duray. Mistral's easy but I wouldn't recommend melee fighting the AV without high defense - his heal is annoying enough even when it just gets through from streak breaker. Really though the best intro to soloing TFs is Penny - when it was tf of the week I soloed it on my mid 20s sonic/beam fendur.

I'd not nerf TW. Sure it's a bit overtuned with a high damage secondary but that's balanced by the speed. On good teams it feels like a nuking blaster when build momentum is up and an old-style stalker when it's not - i.e. maybe an attack or two before the team's moved on to the next mob.

What're you doing it on? I've thought about trying to solo it since it's one of my favorites but I was convinced I don't really have anything that could both solo it and keep the flames away from posi properly. That can be an adventure even with a team.

I've always only had a claw/fire for farming (never cared for spines). My old build was also for other content and not optimized for fire farms at all. The only time I timed it on rainbow and tried to actually go fast i did 4:27, but I don't particularly care, just wanted to know if it was competitive since it felt fast to me. I've recently made a dedicated farm build but I've not timed it. It can afk 4/8/bosses on 325, my preferred, or rainbow and its hp barely ever moves. None of my friends have needed a pl since I made it but it strikes me as about the same speed as my other build, just softcapped to fire so much tougher. It's always just afk'ing now and collecting inf which i pretty much give away as fast as I make it. Only thing I'd change if I felt like a respec would be flipping the slotting in dark oblit and soul tentacles - i don't even need the latter and the frozen blast immob proc griefs my using dark oblit to pull more mobs in.

That did the trick, thanks. Never would have occurred to me to re-validate right after a patch but I must've had some hiccup in the patching. Now to see about converting my bug thread to a hilarious screenshot thread 😄

Some bugs so far (the first i mentioned in its own thread) -Portable workbench spawning as a KoA pet - doesn't work for crafting. -Burn patch showing up as caltrops; /fa has gone back to original gfx on my guy apart from the caltrops. I did have him on minimal fx or dark, don't remember. A person who cares about costumes would probably be able to expound on this one. -some base items have been replaced by gremlins - basic reclamator, pillar of ice and fire, auto-doc, teleport beacons. Someone with an elaborate base could probably say more. The items still work so these are pretty ineffectual gremlins by gremlin standards.

Stalker melts minions/lieuts just as fast as scrap with build up and the telenukes. You're then left with the bosses to either whittle with the scrap or mow down with the stalker. WIth the brute the aoes kind of work against you as you need those minions/lieuts to buff both fury and against all odds to even whittle at the bosses. Telenukes need to be used in a mob you've already gathered on the brute and as 333.... pointed out fury doesn't work well on pseudopets.

I'll lean toward D. The proc doesn't last long enough to allow you to get off the proccing attack twice plus a third attack, even if it did stack. Also in no way tested 😄

If it's not already too late i'd encourage you to roll it as a stalker instead. I've done the combo on all 4 and stalker is far and away the best.

that's no longer required for the accolade - just have to kill 100 now.

Just imagine how much you'll like it after the upcoming bug fix, considering ill is completely borked right now.

There are quite a few that *can* be soloed and have been, but just probably aren't recommended. I was bored last night and decided to try soloing sutter on my 39 tw/bio, knowing full well I can't stand sutter. I pulled it off but it took forever and was just a miserable experience. I'd imagine lady grey would be a slog even if you had the holds for hami.

I think you're thinking of Dr. Q - Faathim not only has an AV but he's a storm summoner. That said it's the only half fun shard tf.

You were wasting an awful lot of slots for very low returns in the first one. Second is much better. Switch the 6 titanium in proton to 4 reactive armor. I'd invest one of those extra slots in the panacea proc. Also I believe I've read, though I don't remember where, that someone did the math and the performance shifter proc is better than one slotted end mod in stamina. Not sure if that's still the case with a +5. Really you should be all set on recharge - you're already perma-hasten with only the base recharge from beta decay. So stick with agility core rather than spiritual, you need the defense and recovery anyway. Consider ageless radial for the bit of debuff resistance it gives.

Everything as it is/is planned. I want the licensing to have no bearing on the HC crew's way of doing things as they've been doing a great job so far.

35. after 32 it no longer alternates slots/powers and you get 3 slots instead of 2. new powers are at 35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 49.

Just to be clear...because of a ~100k price jump in rare salvage peeps are now advocating for a huge price increase in packs to increase influence sinks and thereby help stave off a hyperinflation that hasn't shown any other signs of coming and is specifically guarded against by multiple quasi-hard-caps, including the price of those very packs? God I love forums.

Wow, so that's way bigger than I thought. I should just quit using mine for a while. Had just not been using phantasm cuz of the kb but I've been on teams with it mostly so hadn't noticed the damage etc.
