cranebump Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Got the notion I'd solo Hess TF with my semi-puny little L32 Sentinel (TF lvl capped at 30), which was fine, until Archon B (AV) battle. Went around and cleared minions and turrets after the first engagement. Couldn't take him in a stand up fight, so... Lava. Lava is your friend... It was quite the lengthy dance, but finally burnt that bastard. (and thinking now, "Why did you skip Hover, you idiot?") Edited September 16, 2023 by cranebump 2 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump.

Greycat Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 It surprises me when people seem to have just discovered how to do this. I hear people (especially melee) having trouble with Protean and it's like.... have you never tried this technique? He'll never get his PBAOE off since you're only in range for half a second...

Retrograding IS an option, alright. Esp if you’re on some form of blaster, as I usually am. I was running Water/Rad, and had to eschew the 1 Pbaoe Rad attack I have, save for a couple times when I timed my escape right. Mainly kept hitting with Sentinel vulnerability mark, used absorption+self heal when he managed a melee on a pass by. I didn’t get him locked into the lava until just before he went down, when the KD kicked in twice in the blasts. My End is excellent on this toon (though damage is meh), so I never worried about blue bar. I was plain out of red insps though, so this dragged.

Ultimo Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I've been doing this with my Speedster character. I leave Super Speed running, get some distance, then queue my attack and run past the enemy and out of melee range. By the time the power activates, I'm out of range of his retaliation, and my attack does damage. Granted, it takes a while to defeat ANYTHING, but it's safe!

I just want to add, because of that (even though it is hardly an effective way of killing anything) we now have the travel power suppression. Before that we could move instantly after attacking. 1 SFX and Music Mods by Solarverse (Consolidated) WP/EM God Mode Tank Guide and Build Help Support the Return of Missing Code for Sound Files!

Before that we could move instantly after attacking. I'll point out that I only do this BECAUSE of travel suppression. If I could run at speed within the fight, I would stay in range and use my speed more normally. As it is, the only way my speedy character can be speedy in a fight is by doing drivebys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
