Voltak Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I believe this is the first time it's been achieved, at least verifiably or recorded - Solo Master ITF Challenge with this difficulty setting.

Ravenbane Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Impressive! Never looked into doing this but I'm impressed by the strategy to ditch Slappy in the sky until the AV fight then have him tank for you. Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Kernel Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'm with Hew on this one. I have a Fire/Earth that can survive as long as his blue bar does. It's literally a DPS race between the spawn's HP and my End. Ageless and Permadom are not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the AV fight, the strongest debuff to get his HPs down came from Lore pet (Longbow) and that is a 500% regen debuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: And are you allowing yourself to select pet summons powers (and just not summon your pets) or not even selecting those powers. The first would allow you to use the powers to mule IOs for set bonuses, the second does not.

I don't want to take over the thread with my nonsense. 3 whip attacks, Trick Arrow minus ice arrow. unfortunately Only Oil slick is fully slotted everything else is one slotted with some sort of proc Full fighting pool. Mu mastery excluding shackles. 6 slotted Defenses 45 Melee, 45 range, 41 energy, 41 negative. Resistance S/L 75% This is why I asked his defense and resistance numbers.. I am trying to see how we compare. The thing is he has a solid hold.. I can see in the video he was holding the AV.. Mine would be a full on fight.. I have gotten as far as the 3rd mission with the computer.. But after 30 minutes of fighting I gave up.. I couldn't beat him down fast enough.. I have a bunch of different builds.. I need to see which primary and secondary would bring the most debuffs and of course DPS.

Doomguide2005 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Quote This is why I asked his defense and resistance numbers.. I am trying to see how we compare. The thing is he has a solid hold.. I can see in the video he was holding the AV.. Mine would be a full on fight.. His ability to Hold Rommy helps but is trivial compared to several other factors. For one it's part-time owing to the PToD (Purple Triangles of Death). When those triangles are up his Hold isn't overcoming his protection. Even with perma Dom that's stacking 9+ Holds before considering the effects of mez duration and resistance as Rommy has at least 53 pts of Protection while they're up. You need to keep him at range. Hover and/or Immobilization. He uses Hover and brings in Imperious to tank as well as add dps. Then adds more dps and regen debuff with his Lore pet.
