krj12 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I did an all troller ITF yesterday, so thought it would be interesting to do a defender/corrupter one. Incredible how quickly things melt with this kind of team. We ended up with the following: Nature Affinity/Ice - Defender (me) Sonic/Time - Corrupter Rad/Thermal - Corrupter Rad/Rad - Defender Fire/Thermal - Corrupter Cold/Beam - Defender Water/Dark - Corrupter Fire/Kin - Corrupter More corrupters than 'fenders, but I'm not complaining - a 42 minute kill most is nothing to sneeze at. Great job team! A few screenshots: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psylenz0511 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I am curious what levels of team members you had. Did you have many incarnates? Did you run +4? Inquiring all defender team minds need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krj12 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 We had quite a few incarnates but I didn't count them, and we did run it at +4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifax Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I did an all-Support (Defender & Corruptor) Kahn TF before and it was the silliest thing ever. So many stats hitting the hardcaps. 1 My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uun Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for organizing, it was loads of fun. The only thing we were missing was an immobilize - we were chasing Romulus and Requiem all over the freakin' map. Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Did a Kahn TF on my Kin/Sonic Defender. There was a Rad/Sonic and Dark/Sonic Defender too... I sent a tell to a Stalker on the team, asking him how much damage he was able to do. I think he mentioned a 4.4k crit... all I know is my T1 blast, Shriek, was doing around 500-600 damage. It was nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomguide2005 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) +400% damage and -300% resistance, nuts indeed. Grabbed Electric Fence on my Emp/Sonic on Live after an all defender ITF where we spent way too much time chasing Rommy all over the hills and dales.

krj12 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 I just did another one this morning, at lev 50+4, all Defenders across the board this time. Not the fastest in the world, about 45 mins, but probably the smoothest. We didn't have a single death and 45 mins isnt bad for a kill most. Group composition: Nature/Ice (My Character) Kin/Archery Cold/Ice Elect/Elect Cold/Fire Pain/Sonic Kin/Dark Emp/Dual Pistol Great fun! Thanks to everyone who joined!

krj12 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Did another one this evening. Thanks everyone for joining! Group composition was: Nature/Ice ( Me ) - I really need to make another defender just to have some variety. Any suggestions? Note: I like a lot of eye candy :) Dark/Dark x 2 Pain/Dual Pistols Cold/Beam Rifle Rad/Sonic Emp/Sonic Emp/Energy Pretty good variety of powers. I think we had one death - due to some group splittage at one point. Other than that, it went very smooth. We had some difficulty with Rom running around at the end, but for the most part was able to smack him down pretty fast. First time I've ever run into the scenario where he died, but didn't resurrect - we ended up having to kill the final Nictus. Took about 54 minutes, not the fastest I've ever done, but not bad. I think a super fast kill most usually runs around 30 minutes. Some screenshots: Edited November 30, 2020 by krj12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psylenz0511 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Everlasting Defenders host all defender content on the Everlasting server at 3PM EST. Join the global channel "Buffed Up" or get in touch with @psylenz through global friends. Next week we are tackling two WST hopefully in less than 2 hours - Market Crash and Moonfire. See you in the City. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krj12 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Ran another this evening, had quite a bit of fun, though it was a bit more difficult than the prior runs. Too many people running off to do their own thing, I guess they must play a scrapper as their main. 😉 Tried to warn them to stick together at the beginning, but, oh well. It took about 1 hr and a minute this time, mostly due to chasing Rom all over the map on the final mission - our holds and knock downs seemed to be mostly ineffectual. I have to say, I visited a number of spots on the map I never knew existed. :) Thanks to everyone who joined! Group Composition: Nature/Ice ( Me ) FF/Beam Rifle Emp/Energy Dark/Dark Emp/Elect Nature/Sonic Time/Psych Blast Trick Arrow/Archery ....Quite an array of powersets.

People don't seem to understand that you need to use immobilizes on AVs. AVs are immune to knockdown and holds when the purple triangles are up, but only have boss-level immobilize protection. TA has an immobilize, as does dark blast and psi blast. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Archvillain_Resistance Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention the proc because at least on Live it also did solid damage with several procs in it. Electric Mastery also has a shield covering energy damage as well as S/L and a single target hold.

Linea Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Rommy Running roughly halves your applied dps.* If it's an issue, kill the nictus first, or both separate and kill the nictus first. Then you only have to chase him down for the last kill. I don't think any other AV runs nearly as much as Rommy, this is purely opinion, but !@#$ he knows how to run. You can also have 2-4 people with Envenomed Daggers. Stacked they help much more than most realize. One is meh, depends on the build and your raw dps, but teamed with a few stacked is very nice. *as measured while soloing him +4x8 with my builds. other builds and teams will vary.

Psylenz0511 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hello again meltage members, I am looking for tactical advice for an all-defender Ms Liberty Task force. I haven't done one of these since Live. I remember the successful runs I did featured a tank with full taunt and taunt aura pulling Lord recluse up a pole whereupon LR would fall back to the ground because the top of the pole was occupied by said tank. Also, the tank had a dedicated healer on the tank or else as palpatine once said "and now young skywalker, you will die" Which defender on an 8 defender team would do the pole dance and do incarnate abilities make this method a moot point?

Linea Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Almost any AT can "Tower-Tank". Depending on your team composition and builds, you vary tactics and/or which tower is best to take down first. LR is 75% defense soft-cap while buffed, as opposed to 45% (standard) or 59% (incarnate). Bring maneuvers, bubbles, purple candy, etc. As I recall that's the yellow tower, but you'd need to look it up. The red tower is damage, and is a fairly ridiculous damage buff. Buffed he can dish out 4500+damage, and do so in short order. If he double-hits you it's really gonna hurt, and triple-hit will probably kill even the most heavily armored and buffed squishy. Triple-hits /do/ happen, but rarely. Last but significant is his -End attack. That's the one that gives many otherwise durable builds serious trouble. *end crash* *splat* Kiski (Time/*/Scorpion w Rune/Hybrid/Rune) tanks him face to face solo and is successful 2/3 or more of the time. She prefers the red tower come down first as her SLE defense runs 100+, SLE Resists are capped (at 75%, which means she has ~5k effective hp). She also really prefers to have some +Recovery or +End buffs. ... of course the obvious answer here is to 'Tower-Tank' him.

Psylenz0511 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The LR/tower encounter is also one of the very few places that sonic or forcefield detention can really shine detaining one or two towers while the team eliminates the undetained targets.

We're on Everlasting and we do stuff like this all the time. Look for Retro RO teams, join the appropriate SGs and follow the build specs, or just play with us for the normal insanity. We did some all poison teaming a couple of weeks ago and it was nuts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
