AV killer question

[Scoop]

So see alot of talk about killing AVs on here and ingame. And it got me wondering what the difficulty setting is being used for this? 

I have 2 lvl50 toons playing at +4x1 difficulty I have heard/read these can kill AVs and my builds seem pretty solid.I can easily survive the fight.However I can not kill the AV. Just not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Are you throwing Envenomed Daggers every chance you get?

What are their ATs + primary/secondary/epics/incarnates? Also, which AVs have you tried to solo?

 

There's some temp powers that can make the fights a fair bit easier (like the aforementioned Envenomed Daggers, thanks to their -regen) that a lot of people use, as well.

Just because a toon can run +4 does not mean they are capable of taking down a +4 AV. What are your sets, what is your build, how much debuff do you have, do you use temps like the envenomed dagger, do you personally do enough damage to offset a +4 AV's regen capabilities? Many toons, if built properly, using temps, can take down an even-con AV; a +4 AV is going to require F tons of debuffing. The only toon of mine to ever take down a +4 AV was my bots/traps MM who's slotted every which way with procs, and even then, it wasn't fast.

Have you soloed them on lower settings? I find certain AVs a slog to take down even on teams with a high enough difficulty setting.

It entirely depends on the power sets.

 

Titan Weapons/Bio simply puts out enough damage to beat AV regeneration rates (in fact this is how most /bio melee builds operate). /Trap Masterminds work by massively reducing regen, debuffing defense and resistance...basically there are tons of AV killer combos on different ATs so we'd need to know what your powerset combo is.
