Troxdoc w/3 Intelligent Symbs

[Doctorhyde]

I'm posting this as a guide for twinking Atrox Doctors. This is a pretty harsh combination to max symbs on because base stat for Sense is the lowest of all abilities even after the LE research. However, it is possible to do QL300 (Intelligent) symbs in -some- places on a troxdoc (I'm posting this -after- getting my symbs in ... what I got in is here: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=61392 ). I'm willing to bet that I'm the first on any dimension to do it unless some lucky SOB got them in back when the Power of the Mind was bugged or someone else was farther along on their reset / gear since LE was launched than I was. Mostly because I went into LE already almost fully perk reset and already had 95% of the twinking gear I needed. The calculations I did before LE had the 290 R.Arm as the best symb we could do back then.

Below are listed a bunch of notes. The idea behind this post is to get a concise shopping list for others done. Apologies if the formatting gets insane, I'll clean it up some, but I used tab-spacing in my text file.

I used a lot of exotic gear including 4 x QL250 Tower contracts, Burden of Competence, Mystery of Pisces, and around 42 perk resets. There is squish room in some of the spots for alternate gear, and I don't have -completely- maxed gear, for instance I used a 260 Ring of Computing and a 260 Bracer of Focused Concentration.

I'm a MA doc, so Mystery made sense for me, and I was able to get it on with only 851 base Dimach. Things like Gemini's Linked Band and Aim of Libra required me to IP Sense Imp a bit but not much (only around 800 SI base with symbs in, no CM). So you -can- get most of said exotic gear on without massive IP waste. And more importantly this post will let people build a shopping list that will prevent them from over-camping Pande like I did awhile back.

PS. Auno.org didn't have the Ring of Plausibility nor Penultimate Ofab Doctor Gloves when I was setting up the equipment configs. So if you see things missing, its probably those.

Exceptional guide.

I've decided to wait for the 2 hour perk reset thingy before I review my symbs again (let's face it, my symbs set up is pretty lazy) and this will help no end.

I can't achieve the QL's you have due to no org contracts and lack of several of the zods items (oh, and a year away from my Burden still) but it's still a fantastic look at what is really possible on trox.

If I was wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you.

[jjones2666]

very impressive

[Ninyah]

Grats to doch,
I'm sure all those symbs will allow selfing of the thongs!

[Regidoc]

added to the stickies

[Doctorhyde]

I was pretty tired finishing up the post last night. Some additional notes:

* IIRC, there was only 2 times I needed ICRT, during the QL300 symbs phase

* I only needed the Extruder bars during this time (only used 2 total)

* All the QL300 and QL290 symbs popped in during the same round of contracts

* All the others popped in during the 2nd round of contracts (and if we'd had another QL150+ site, all could have been done in the first round).

* The above meant the total time messing with contracts for me was 7 hours to get them back to normal. Would have only been 5 hours total with the extra site. That means IF you have the contracts to play with, you can do them all in 1 over night sitting to mess with your orgs twinks less (its 2 hours to take effect after each change).

* I didn't finish Rehabilitation 9 (+20 Psychic) ... so doing that would obviate any need (there wasn't much need for it) for the Psychic contract.

Awesome work Hyde Was wondering when you'd finish this massive task! Fantastic list of final symbs you've got in, vital data for any Trox wanting to know the extent you can go to now with LE.

With 17.2 sometime in the future maybe it won't take you 3 months to get all your perks back

[Doctorhyde]

With 17.2 sometime in the future maybe it won't take you 3 months to get all your perks back

I'm reperking now I'll probably be done the day 17.2 launches. But it will make it easy to redo it later if I have to.

[Dac---]

Grats Hyde, still have a lot of farming to do before I can even remotely think of doing anything close to that.

[Playstaytion]

Very nice Alot of time and hard work went into this, but it paid off. Job well done, and grats to you!

[Grafter]

hyde uses teh skill sploit-h4x. watch out, he knows how to twink!


nice dood

[Meloniez]

uber gratz..../me goes to put page in bookmarks

[Tchaa]

Gratz! Now all we need is for FC to fix TL7 tower mechanics, so there can be twinking on both sides of the fence.

Nef joo! Gz mate, very nice work, you inspire all troxness! Does final gear involve a thong?

[Niles]

Ubar guide! Just proves to show that trox is the way to go regardless of prof

Nice guide, good work

Amazing job, Hyde!

and may I once again curse and wail against the day I rolled Arri NM? : (
