    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.

     

    Damn, it was SR I expected to have an easier time with it.

  2. I posted this over the Brute forums but it was hidden in an unrelated thread and either flew under the radar or none felt like trying it, so I bring here to the +4x8 buffed enemies, debuffed players solo crowd.

     

     

     

    I went to look for the same Shepherds that crushed my Fire/Ice Tanker and got crushed again, but this time without Ice Patch to save the day it is safe to say that doing it at +1x8 was going to be impossible (I stopped after dying twice to the first group of mobs I found, both times under ten seconds). I wanted to test to see if the extra damage would make a difference and if my first experience had been a fluke, but it wasn't, and it didn't.

     

     

    It has to be said that Shepherds are a bit insane. Just look at all that they can do:

    Broadswords attacks to -def, Tar Patches to -res, Vengeance when killing enemies, World of Pain. And on top of that stacking -tohit from regular attacks. Booyah.

     

    Cimerorians are a joke compared to these guys. An ITF with them instead of romans would not make an ITF a walk in the park.

     

     

    For someone who wants bragging rights the only place I found them was in the First Ward first chapter. Bracket 24-29:

    Got to do a bit of talking first then two quick missions. The third one is all Shepherds.

     

    Eagerly waiting for tales of victory or defeat!

    Well, I use converters to do actual converting, so I wasn't even thinking of that aspect. I mean, why get 70K when you can get millions with a bit of leg work?

     

    It's just the lowest estimate. Not everyone, especially not a newbie still thinking in SO terms, is going to be into digging through guides and spending half an hour puttering with things. Even if eventually it goes down to 10 minutes. A new player wants to play.

    Never tried clawz but sr is fantastic, it’s my new main. It’s a lot different than other tanks which I find refreshing, you actually see your health low sometimes! 🙂

     

    It’s not invincible, usually the thing that gets me is being end drained, which seems to happen easily despite all the defense. Kinda wish there was a power that could plug that hole but I suppose every set needs a weakness

     

    It's not a magic bullet but at least grab Recovery Serums off the P2W vendor. They save my butt in Freak heavy missions since Consume does not keep up with multiple Super Stunner deaths.

    13 million as a level 50 doing Synapse? That doesn't sound right for someone still leveling or at level 50.

     

    Doing Synapse gives 56 merits. Then defeating Babbage another 6. Rounding it up it's 60 merits. 60 merits turns into 180 converters. 180 converters at 75k each makes 13.5 million. I shaved 500k off for AH fees.

     

    More than that if level 50 and not under the 100% XP-but-not-inf. I think I made 3-4 mill as a 50 doing it but was paying zero attention so don't quote me.

    If you are going to upgrade every level, I'd say the ballpark figure is something north of $100mm.  Probably less than $500mm.  I'm basing that on my limited experience with SOs from levels up to about 20, then extrapolating on an increasing number of slots and an increasing cost of upgrade.

     

    To put this in perspective, @GATE-keeper, doing Posi 1 and 2 and level 8 and 11, which makes around 3-4 million. With around 1.5 to 2 million we can slot a full character worth of generic IOs bought from the AH.

     

    Some people might even go further and say that by crafting IOs we can save up!!! ...and they would be right. We might save up something like 500k or something. Then we do Synapse and earn something like 13 million.

     

    Don't sweat the small stuff I say.

  8. After a while of things going somewhat fine it is 'starting' again. I put 'starting' with quotes because a look at my crash folder and it's not that few:

     

    image.png.3d4b44c7d9fcea08fbdbdb6f3de2cdb3.png

     

     

    Currently I'm at:

     

    - No pending updates.

    - No other game crashes. During my CoH time I've played SWTOR, WoW, PoE, Last Epoch, and currently New World. No crashing. CoH also is still in the same that I can TF for 8 hours and not crash once. I can also stand in the Pocket and not type while AFK and not crash. Then I start typing and it happens. Not, of course, not ALL the time. It just happens once in a while. But sometimes those once in a while are back to back. I am now posting this after crashing, restarting the game, crashing. Rebooting the computer, booting up CoH, crashing again. This is five minutes total. Hasn't crashed since.

    - Keyboard was replaced since this started for unrelated reasons. Regardless it and the mice seem fine under the device manager:

    image.png.fd95acb8a241e1a655ed839b2576da66.png

     

    I tested with the windows memory diagnostic and no errors were shown.

     

     

    Considering the keyboard was changed, the OS was re-installed, the disk was formatted, a -new- SDD was bought and is now in use, the game has been verified, deleted in the past with all traces erased and re-installed... I'm not sure what to say anymore. Am I to blame the RAM? It seems like the last thing.

     

    If needed I can provide my most recent crash logs.

  9. Saying that all my TFs never land on a corpse is a bit of an exaggeration, but I would also take the hyperbole card in saying I never find a target to land a TF. That said I use and abuse Energy Punch and Bone Smasher in fast teams because I am not Bill aware that fast teams do not let bodies live long. But I -am- leading the charge and bosses are always my target.

     

    After those are down it is not complicated to save TF for targets who survive. If they don't live in the time it takes for TF to land then they don't need TF, just EP/BS.

  10. With -res slotted in? 4 minutes without -res on a fire armor would make 5 minute without -res still decent for someone who wants a bruiser. With -res it's 3 minutes though, and we know the game is not hard enough to require super best defense.

     

    I wonder how it would hold against the last boss of Market Crash or of the ITF. Those auto hits were evil on my Fortunata but she didn't have the scaling resists or the HP of a tank.

  11. Running around with 180% damage would do that 😄

     

    I have the Fire/MA time in that. I remember trying the Claws and getting the same result. I should try the EM/Fire Br00t variant and see the time difference.

     

    Super-strength has bad quirks hiding under the glittery neon sign of Rage but it's stuff I'd feel like working with... But I can't get past the 10 seconds of near CC. Either do the -damage or do the -defense, but not both and preferably neither.
