Snarky

Late 500s but I don’t feel a night over 100. Gotta skew the stats a bit though unless you are truncating the data in one form or another

where all threads go to die 🙂

thanks. i wonder if there was a server side issue then.

Once you have attained survivability. And Brutes can survive +3/+4 built right. (All armors have weaknesses, Tank or Brute beware your weaknesses) Once you have attained Survivability you want damage. For me the Tank Armor is not the desirable part. It is whether the greater Tank AoE impacts and how much you are clearing. That 20%? damage ... Why throw it away for survivability you are not using?

Tank will be slightly more survivable Brute will do more damage. Either will do the job. Big caveat… with a good build. Not to be insulting but my Snarky butt thinks if you could build good you would know this info. Simple suggestion: get build from a master. Not an insult. Every invulnerability build i make is a Hyperstrike build or a 99% copy. Find a Bio Titan builder who makes one for what you are doing. Goid luck

it bothers me that other people see my toon diff than me...

Its not quite that easy. You have to drop the shields which is basically 17??? Giant monsters in a hurry. Then get a bomb for each team and drop the AV in the bowl. Everything after that is gravy. I have credit for 3 bombs and 1 AV. No idea why my team always sucks lol

On Live I could not do MSR because of the effect. I have experienced a small amount of lag sometimes in them on Homecoming. Today....complete slideshow. Now, I do not like the MSR. But I need the badges. What can I do? Best graphic settings? Is it my comp or server side?

It was a good crowd. Some of the ones not picked impressed me with concept design and bio! But well run. There was one Snarky guy in the corner making endless wisecracks though

no Dark. tsk tsk

Wow! at the lobby of all those warehouses. and randomly in CoT caves lol fun idea maybe more common on some maps than others. (always in lobbies, sporadic elsewhere depending on room....

as i understand it they can be powerful. they are just incredibly Fing hard to learn to build and run

concept rulz, luck wit da squid

I would ask more about theme. Two ideas jump right out at me. My own Dark Dark Dark Corruptor.....and a ?/Kinetics Corruptor. I know I said above Kinetics sucks, but that was directed at Kinetic Melee. Kinetics for Defenders Controllers and Masterminds is a very Cosmic way to take peoples energy and use it as your energy. Less pure evil vampire and more cosmic numberwang.

Again, I build +to hit and +Accuracy as serious build goals in this. A lot of Dark's survival and strength is based on you hitting and your opponent missing. Climbing to the top of the Accuracy hill and keeping your opponents at the bottom is one of your top priorities. The Stun Cloak in Dark has a bad base accuracy. You need it to work. Fear is awesome...when it's hitting. Your heals, your strange attack chain, there is not a lot of time for screwing around. Build for success.

The combat log is trolling you on purpose.

Nice. I have played Dark Dark Brutes but never ran Bio armor This is one reason I give a lot of qualifiers….I tend to run themes rather than explore everything. The only Bio concept I have is The Toxic Avenger from TROMA

I made a mage tank theme, ranged tank. Invul Kinetics. It worked. Then there is the indisputable fact that Kinetics sucks. It is just not in the way you are looking for.

Dark definitely has the most life steal, and the Corr version has the two attacks that heal you/team. There might be other combos where you could squeak out one more with a pool or something. But Dark/Dark/Dark Corruptor is pretty much "drain you and use your life to make my life easier"

My Dark Dark Corr has two targeted drain / heal. one team, one for me. This thing also drains power to boost damage and other neat Dark tricks. THe build is in the Corruptor Forum, near the top

One thing about being on this one Corr toon since late December is that I have a good rhythm...for everything but Aeon. Damn challenging. Almost all CoH, including iTrials I go into one of 3 modes. 1) If I can get out ahead I hit a fresh spawn with ranged AoE stun, then get into them (which introduces them to my aura stun) and the mobs are mag 4 stunned. Then I tar patch, build up, blackstar, joust back for Fearsome stare (to hit debuff) and if there is a cyclops or hard boss drop the debuff toggle on them. 2)If I am tight with team or fights are endless (+4/x8 kill most ITF) I get a debuff toggle on the biggest bad, keep tar patch and fearsome stare going, heal if needed or to debuff a harder target. Then I AoE and ST. If its a super hard target the Rez debuff is thrown at them too. 3) If it is hard to be useful as a debuffer (Magisterium final fight, Battle Maiden) I shift into Blaster mode, or if my debuffs are all in place and the target is below 50%. Scourge!!!

This phenomenon is what threw me the first time i ran a Dark Dark Corr. It just felt like it was not working. So i went back to Blasters. Then I dedicated the first month of the year to soloing all Red content on one. Now I understand how powerful it is. Sure, there are teams where I am an 8th wheel, just there as a weak Blaster if I can keep ip with the steamroller team. But when I am useful I am very useful. -res -regen -tohit -dam and a bunch of little annoyances. Then there is the significant AoE and ST damage.

Yeah, i built to get ahead and solo. If i wait for the team to Tar Patch, Soul Drain, (at this point someone yoinks all my mobs) Blackstar on nothing. Sooo my stubborn little butt built a Corr that can Tank (for a short time) just about any spawn…then kill it. I just zoom ahead and play like a Brute. Fold Space is just to make that more efficient

I thought I remembered in the Peregrine Mayhem you could defeat knives and do that side mission as soon as you zone. Dim memory but i swear i have farmed a badge that way

Can you enflame Phantom Limb?
