I dont have damage dumper but a soldier friend of mine has it and is running it in team situations, not to post his uber damage but to see his own damage compared to others.
We used to raid a lot together and had all kinds of teams and teamates - level ranges from 170 to 200. I was usually the lowest.
The 99% of dd report was - 1. place my sol friend 2. place me. At that time he was around 6-8 levels higher than me.
He is very good sol imo, at least compared to others around his level I had chance to team with (and od usually). And I dont consider myself some uber fixer.

I love being a fixer.. sometimes.
I love..
-Always getting picked as a "DD". I have no problem oding many profs other than pistol soldiers, and shades. (I can respect that since I still see fixer as a soldier with support nanos instead of offensive ones.)
-The awesome looks fixers can use .. I mean sunglasses as an armor? woot!
-being faster than everyone else
-Evades
-SWS <- so happy this is better than the best non prof backitems ingame and its so cheap!
I hate..
-People who underestimate us.
-Getting teamed asked for ncu and them kicking me (grr apf)
-Silly random buffs we have for no purpose to us other than to buff other people (backpain) :p
I have loved playing a fixer since I first started AO, I don't care at all that I can do loads of damage or not but we are a very self sufficient profession and I like being able to go do just about anything I like and probably survive. :)
I was a Froob til over 100 and even though I think we do lose a bit of our effectiveness in SL our self sufficiency doesn't really change.
As for Jujuwalkers hinting a fixercon sounds freakin awesome for fixers all, and I like even better Hilo's suggesions for some activities that us crazy gits can do that would make an impression without even having to eerr... raise our damage output or somethin;) Perhaps a fixercon and some collective scheming could make that happen. I've met lots of good players who be fixers (a few of ya's too who be posting in this thread) and I'm in for concerted fixer antics. :D
I played advies when I first started..... all lovechildren deleted because they simply bored me (melee type, I still have one ranged).Quote:

I think part of the Fixer pride is (as quite a number have stated) the "style over substance"... acknowledging that we are/were gimped, getting over it, and just having fun...
Our very own (and only at this point in time) professional stated that:Now seriously, find another profession where you can pick up something useful (say armour) and something not-so-useful (say sunglasses or a bikini) and go "What the heck it's only a game, I may as well look good while hecklering/missioning/pvping/sitting at reclaim/etc and pick up the completely useless but sociable item..."Quote:

I think part of what draws people (to the Fixer profession) IS the 'style', the 'mystique'... as far as the storyline is concerned we ARE the mysterious shadowy group, we're not the soldiers lining up to heroically defend against the aliens, we're not the engineer's building everything from armour to guns to yalm's, we're not enforcer's, meta-physicists or any other profession, no, we're Fixer's, we lie, cheat, steal, hack, avoid, dodge, meep, live in the shadows, we hack things we're not supposed to have, we're mysterious... People see an agent walk past with a sniper rifle and go "well, gee, I guess he's a sniper" and a Doctor is yes olde medic, but what's a Fixer...??? "mmm gee, well he Fixes things", "but isn't that an engineer?", "no, an engineer fixes things, a Fixer, he FIXES things... you know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more..."
I know why I chose Fixer, it wasn't because it was there... or that the friend (who played engineer) who introduced me to Anarchy Online said it might be for me... no I chose it because it was a Fixer, because it sounded cool, like no other... there's that something, that indefinable something that no other profession has... Any old atrox can pick up a rifle and shoot, or a treatment kit and heal.... but how many can be, and truly be, a Fixer.
Looks back and WHOA that was far more than I thought... anyway theres my pride, now for the fun, when's the next Fixercon, where will it be, when's someone going to find a Fixer hang-out/bar/whatever for the "Hacker's Club" (Linky#1 & Linky#2) and who's organising all this....
I'm not much of a roleplayer, but damn this sentance rocked :)Quote:

nerf fixers. and breaks in particular...comon funcom give keepers some lubbin!!!
and on fixers not getting teams, it seems like a lot of fixers (and MAs too) have this god complex in the game ("I don't need healing") because of their uber evades.
what a pain in the arse to team with especially when you're playin a doc and don't heal the fixer :). For that reason, I, and many people in my org, only team fixers I know personally or by reputation.
I'm not even going to touch tl7 pvping.

I really hate tanking but one of the most entertaining things I did lately was tanking obediency enforcer or whatever that big bot thing is called. I had 3 froobs in team healing me - 180ish doc, 200ish sol and 180ish mp...... they were all simply great and my hp never dropped under 50% though I kept aggro all the way and that mob hits pretty hard :)
Tanking smug and freddy is fun. Smug has notably more AR than Eel - while dragging Eel to the other base for people to turn guns in I got hit a lot less than I do while killing smug, but freddy has pretty crappy AR, so even though he hits almost twice as hard he's a lot easier to tank as a fixer.Quote:

Sided mobs like those found in SL mish have high AC, so this may have worked out different if I had BoB's at the time, but still...good fixers can definitely dish out the damage.Quote:
