209 report

[Morlund]

a bit of wry humor I thought I'd share

just hit 209 -- my value to inferno teams thus far has been two fold

1) the calm, which is surprising. no, it still sux and there is no way I could be the 255 incarnator calmer without a major mongo tank and a very good doc but I'm happy to report that while there is always the occasional totally uncalmable heckler/horror the calms are generally hitting now at a rate of somewhere less than 10 attempts. crappy, but it's actually starting to have real and actual value to teams who can handle a little occasional random chaotic damage, it works even better if I have a comp mocharm.

2) team secretary, I can't tell you how often people have asked me to get them reps as in "I'm busy here actually doing something, you -- yes you, over there, peon NT, fetch me a rep"

go go underdog prof NT !! the few, the proud, the "why the hell am I still playing this profession" profession

------------------------------------------------------

all humor aside though the fun has picked up some now that calming has become semi-realistic. I have a job again, sort of. figure I'm onboard till 220

and, the calm works decently well other areas like adonis catacombs. teamed with a killer we can get through to the nice bosses quite quickliy. at about 5 hits or less things are calmed with the occasional total uncalmable

So classic, I love it.

That made me laugh also. So true, so true.

Now if we could only bribe.... err I mean get FC devs to co-operate and extend the Calm/Mezz line past Peaceful Intentions. Or even better, lower SL mobs NR down from Orbit. shhheesh!

The major problem with calms is that they are not working reliable.

You can be lucky and calm 4 hecklers in a row on first try, or you can bite your teeths out (and heckler-warp your teammates to reclaim) by getting countered 10 times in a row on the next two ...

There is nothing worse then an unrealiable teammate, think of a doctor where you're not sure if he's /afk and you actually gonna get heals or not.

Personally I'd love to see calms getting extended, just like the rest of our outdated toolset.

Been there done that...lol

So true and sad.

The truth actually u can be used at secretary yes.
Cause u're not doing much damage, classic.
Our calm sux, sure there is a NR checking ? Classic 2
PNH and IOR useless in a 210+ team, or useless at all definitively ... Classic 3
Our layer, hum lol, classic 4
Others things ? what others things u speak about ? classic 5

Well, play a prof but don't play NT ... final classic.

And FC still wonders why no one wants an NT in the group..

They expect our AoE nukes to solo us up to 220 instead of getting in teams, and if we want an extention to calms we have to give up Aoe.

you should have done like me : NOT BUYING those useless nanos


as for calms, you still can calm with debuff NR.
CI or CM + debuff NR and it should work.
Also wear a nanoskill equipment/perk.
I saw NTs that could not mezz but he had not nanodoctorate but enhanced DNA.. yeah ok come on.
Soldiers do not complain when they miss a Full Auto if they do not max their Assault Rifle skill ...

Mir that's only when you get the NR debuff perk at.. 204?

I had trouble calming stuff in Elysium when I first went there at 100ish, and that lasted well into TL 5. I still at 190 have trouble calming stuff in Adonis, and I very much dislike having to rely on another profession for my own nanos to work properly!

100% agreed, i didn't say the NT can mezz correctly, i know we have a lot of problems with mezz
I just said that before saying "it's not working" at lvl 209 (subject of this post), it could be nice to max PM/SI and use the tools you have. At 209 you CAN mezz, not very good but you can.

[Maistah]

Poor NT's!

Why don't ya'll just level shade alts like traders do?

Been there, done that... she was outperformed my 209 NT at about 160 for Ado\Pen work, and 200 for Inferno work (where Maista can't even THINK about performing solo)

Ah... balance.
