  Raven Bolt - Tank - DA/EM - How not to make a tank
Posted by: Shader - 10-19-2008, 12:39 PM - Forum: Build Advice - Replies (1)

Let me add to the sudden influx of requests for build assistance (gotta start working on producing some answers for those requests) ... by posting the build of my -First- tank, Raven Bolt.
Yes Terrance, -that- Raven Bolt. [Image: banana-dance.gif]
After asking for some pointers on the Tankers forum this is the build she's currently following slot wise at least... and aiming for. All I know is its going to be expensive. Jelidan already has one of the Steadfast Knockback Protection (the level 15 one) - which was a drop and has been holding it for a long, long time.
She's a DA/EM tank. Sucks End worse then Jelidan. And with lvl 20 generic IOs slotted at the moment can hit anything either, or damage anything. So much for having "Knuckle Nukes".

Have at it! Any pointers or rebuilding/Suggestions would be appreciated. If you could make it cheaper it would be nice. I'm already wincing at the expected price of those Imperviums. But me has lvl 50 me can farm.

  Smouldering Decay
Posted by: Sweno - 10-19-2008, 10:53 AM - Forum: Build Advice - Replies (4)

This matches the final result of Decay at level 50, and I think I have the slot/power levels correct, but without doing a lot of Ouro missions I can't be
sure.

I'm reasonably happy with her currently, I normaly play at Rugged and have no problems holding/stunning the groups and bosses I run across. Only if
something stuns me do things get dicey, but more recently I have learned to send the imps in for the first strike.

One thing I'm sure of: More Recovery is needed. I can't have all 6 of my toggles running (Fire Shield, Acrobatics, Hotfeet, Choking Cloud, Radiation
Infection, and Enervating Field) running at the same time without slowly losing end. And forget about attacking if I have all of them going. Running with all
my toggles active is not that uncommon if I am going up against a EB or AV, or just a large group of tough enemies (The Cim caves ring a bell here).

Any other tweaks to increase the hold/stun times would be welcome. I know that there are some purple sets in my future (next piece I'm looking at is
another Ragnarok for Fire ball), but such things will take time.

More health/regen or more defense/resistances would be welcome, as that increases my survivability when I play the role of the tank. But this isn't a high
priority

Cost is not much of an issue, more expensive merely means it will take longer.

(EDIT: posted this last night and forgot to check that ezboard didn't munge the formating)

  Heinlein's own FAQ
Posted by: robkelk - 10-19-2008, 02:28 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

Well, a proto-FAQ... Apparently, Robert A. Heinlein once got so busy answering fan mail that he didn't have time to write paying work. He didn't want to ignore the fans, so he came up with a list of the most frequently asked questions, answered them, and typed the list of answers (without the questions) into a form letter. Then he sent copies of the form letter with the appropriate boxes checked off to the fans.

More http://kk.org/ct2/2008/09/heinleins-fan ... lution.php]here, including a scan of the form letter itself.

  Professional free-running and Mirror's Edge
Posted by: katreus - 10-18-2008, 11:06 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

Was looking at the trailers for Mirror's Edge and didn't realize that there actually are professional free-runners around. Amazing (and quite a bit
scary) really! Looks like a fun game. Going to need to get my hands either on a PS3 or Xbox though.

- Trick or Treating for costumes and salvage also presents the usual fun, including stockpiling salvage for the next year.

Interesting notes from test include the fact that costumes and salvage can drop at the same time, as they're not part of the same "spawn". Also,
you can get tricked, spawning Halloween enemies. For reference, the numbers needed for various badges:

Also, the two Croa GMs have special Halloween spawns which can spawn anywhere, and which are accompanied by the Unseelie Court, a unique mob.

Of course, one should remember these don't count as the Croa spawns and thus
don't count towards Geas of the Kind Ones.

- On that note, however, the game is locked into nighttime once the event starts, making Ghost hunting in Croa much easier for the Haunted badge.

All in all, plenty of opportunities. Full dates are, of course, Oct 20th - Nov 2nd.

So, the Halloween festivities begin in three days, starting next Tuesday Correction. Our Devs are awesome
and snuck this on us early. ZOMBIES.

So what's everyone primarily going after? There's several options, of course.

- First up, our brand new zombies. Badges for these likely will be pretty easy to come by:

  Circuitry Tinkering: Net Sabre potential build
Posted by: OpMegs - 10-17-2008, 11:44 PM - Forum: Build Advice - Replies (3)

So, Nene's current build is by no means inefficient. As a Kin/ Defender, her primary's abilities are second to very few in utility, and her end drain is built around, as Wire said, "taking big honking bites". However, while I use Power Boost considerably, the other Power Mastery powers didn't really test out like I expected, so I'm considering respeccing her into Electrical Mastery instead. Visually, this gives her Charged Armor instead of Temp Invul, which is zappy instead of shiny. Also, it gives me an excuse to get rid of all her red SOs for cash.
Anyway, this is the build I have in mind. 50 IOs are there simply because I expect to hit Emet up for them post respec anyway, and incorporates what few set IOs Nene has.
What I'm looking for here are possible slot optimizations and set bonus advice.

  No music in CoH? The hell you say?
Posted by: OpMegs - 10-17-2008, 11:14 PM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (4)

It's come to my attention that some people are unaware that CoH has some truly awesome music. However, while browsing Youtube, I found the means to rectify
this.

Rikti Mothership Crash Site

Vanguard theme

Sadly, I couldn't find the awesome "Vs. the Arachnos Flier" music from STF, but still. A good start.

I've got the new style, uh oh

And I'm walking right down your street

I'm on your speed dial, you know

The one everyone wants to meet

(I always tell you how great you dress)

It's 'cause I'm fashionably socialized

(You're smarter, better, no, the best)

Just look at me

I'm a leader, I'm a winner, And I'm cleaner

Cause I'm awesome

I don't need you cause I'm neato and I beat you

Cause I'm awesome

That's right

They say I'm gifted, uh huh

Well I'm a certified prodigy

I'm gonna own you, uh huh

I'm gonna bring you to your knees

(I always tell you how smart you are)

It's cause my brain is really supersized

(You're an academic superstar)

Just look at me

I'm a leader, I'm a winner, And I'm cleaner

Cause I'm awesome

I don't need you cause I'm neato and I beat you

Cause I'm awesome

That's right

Got a career plan, uh huh

Gonna make lots of money

And bought a self tan, uh huh

Don't I look healthy?

(I always tell you how great you smell)

It's 'cause I'm naturally deodorized

(You're stronger, faster and can spell)

Just look at me

I'm a leader, I'm a winner, And I'm cleaner

Cause I'm awesome

I don't need you cause I'm neato and I beat you

Cause I'm awesome

That's right

Rah rah rah rah rah rah rah!

Rah rah rah rah rah rah rah!

Rah rah rah rah rah rah rah!

I don't need you

Cause I'm Awesome

Uh huh

Check out http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/17 ... _approved/]this article for CGI footage depicting how the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory robot is going to land.  I have no idea why it's necessary to lower it on a winch from a hovering crane, but it looks cool as hell.  Oh, and the video also shows it doing other stuff but it was the landing I wanted to rave about, especially since it's made using simulated hand-held camera footage, like Firefly's FX.
