We tried it with 9 tonight, but the margins were too tight, we need a few more bodies for it. Log in and join us then.

Some people were asking about how "Psionic farming" could be a thing, so here's the current theory:

Night Widow with capped psi defense, 85% psi resist, 40% recharge debuff resist, all of the AOE attacks, and a "full" ST chain.

Minion:
Will Domination, Mesmerize, Mass Hypnosis

Lt:
Subdue, Will Domination, Mesmerize, Mass Hypnosis

Boss:
Psychic Scream, Will Domination, Psionic Tornado, Scramble Thoughts, Mesmerize, Mass Hypnosis, Total Domination, Terrify, Mass Confusion

You big dummy!
I did psi farming on a mind/psi/psi dom, against enemies with the ENTIRE stone armor pool as their secondary. They only used Granite.

It was pretty awesome, but a big investment for something that wasn't really worth it.



Also, I showed up late and contributed next to nothing, but great CoP run!

Next time (if it's not tomorrow afternoon) I will have a T4'd 50 ready to rock.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a thing!

Bonus for farming hilarity:

If you add a single-ally rescue and set it to AV, it won't actually leech your experience unless it does damage. I solved my pesky sub-50 endurance problem by having an AV that never dies following me around spamming Speed Boost, Transference, Transfusion, and Fulcrum Shift.

Can you still make a Kinetics/Force Field with no attacks follow you around? That's what I used to do to farm for my friends at level 12. :v:

Apparently I was drunker then I though, it was Fire Control Kinetics, pretty much just for Smoke

You can't make a kin/FF because the first set can't be a support set. It can be Earth Control though!

e: Trip report: It is loving impossible to die in that farm with that build. Also, Widow endurance usage is so bad that I'm running out even with Numina's, Miracle, 2 endmods and an end proc in Stamina, and an NPC casting Speed Boost on me. Mandatory Ageless is the dumbest thing in this game.

Also every farm should have a helper AV, it is awesome and does not impact your farming at all!

Wait, this is the Moon.
How did I even get here?

Virtue... A strange land where I know no one, have no characters to speak of and an uphill battle for experience surrounded by reputed insanity... Yeah, it's gonna be a drag if I start up a Virtue character for giggles, but I have long since been tempted to clone my first successful stab at a Controller. Earth/Sonic.

I love my Robot Janitor gone Robot WIZARD Alloy Archmage (Will probably tweak the name just so I can tell them apart better) dearly, but drat if I wouldn't have killed myself without that Blackwand. Incarnate damage procs have spoiled me. But I just like his style, he's simple, and as a Robot I'll have probably... 30% less random ERP for Influence propositions sent to me.

Still, for when I do get around to wandering Virtue between 18 other distractions I'm bouncing across of late (TF2 update, Tribes, intentions of trying out Blacklight, etc), it will be good to have something I can count on to turn to if needed.

Global handle is @Darkthorne I forget entirely if you can invite people who aren't even online to channels.

I also need to get back to my very stupid Robots Masterminds as all enemies AE mission sometime. I've been meaning to make some "less bullshit" tweaks to it and I think all the AE patches over the year have broken it some.

Fun Fact: For a while AE protector bots summoned shield generators instead of casting individual buff bubbles like they were supposed to. So, you'd have a bunch of summed robots summoning shield drones. For the enemy. Also, I found out the hard way that "oh,it's only 8 damage a tick at lv 50 it will be fine" Damage auras... scale a LOT differently for enemies.

Robots/Electric Armor Elite Boss turned out to be just a little bit more lethal than intended. I wanted to make something lightly annoying (shoot the enemies guys, stop killing the individual battle drones before you kill the Minion summoners you idiots! :argh:), not bullshit.

I brought my Fire/Cold with Power Build Up, which is something like -1000% regen. That shut his gimmick down pretty fast.

Someone slamming a full stack of team inspirations to cut through the dumb hurricane helped too. (How do you get a league with only 1 copy of Tactics? :mad:)

Also a couple days ago I let them know that a good few people arguing in favor of Bio Armor are goons, so it made sense that they tried to call us out on that... Shame that she aimed it at one of the people that isn't.
