I was a MSand MR pre CU.


I converted MR to defensive skills of Pikemen and TK.


I suck. I have faction attack armor on (all but the helmet), take my meds and have a very nice Power Hammer. I am a lvl 75 but I would be very lucky to kill a lvl 75. Anymore than one attacks me and Im toast. My health drops way to fast for 1100 power instant stims to keep me breathing.


I have to be doing something wrong. I'm using Break Armor, Bleeding Attack and others.


Any ideas? Thanks

Well I would think that you are taking on MOBs and NPCs of your CL or higher by yourself.

The new name of the combat game is GROUPS.

hmm. my template is similar


TKM, mSword, mBrawler, pike 0040, some medic;


i have no problem killing a level80-82 critter by myself. (i'm level 80).


don't wear armor. if you have TKM, you have innate armor. it's equivellent to 6000-rated armor to ALL resists (this is better than 'average' battle armor. ALWAYS run COB. this gives brings you up to the equivellent of 10000 armor - the best possible.


armor break, intimidate, warcry, KD, use melee hit/strike/headhit as spammable attacks, throw in powerhits and critical strikes every now and then. use a good powerhammer for dmg dealing.


against 1 or 2 equal level targets, you shouldrarely have to stim yourself (if you're full tkm/cob'd).

buy some good stims (+1000). if you're low level medic (or not medic at all) you can only use them about once a minute.


if you're not TKM, then look into some good battle armor. but innate armor is very good, i highly recommend it.


the defense of TKM, combined with the offense of Sword, and the intim/warcry of pike is a very powerful combination.

Thank you all for the tips.


Before I read your replies to my thread I read othersand repected to MTK as well as MS.


As a level 80 I stomped on LVL 80S and rarely used a stim pack. Bare in mind it was one at a time.. two and I'm capped in a heart beat. LVL 81s were no problem either. Yes.. I used everything available. Thus the grouping is uber and needed.


Ill take my armor off and quite wasteing it.


Thanks for the tips. The CU is a bug ridden cluster..no doubt ie. I cant wear my faction helmet after spending 1500 faction points and I DO own it. It's yellow for some buggy reason and it's post CU. It was new.


The CU cost me 100M would be a rough guess. People hate change in their real life let alone in MM GAMES. What were they thinking?


For 100k in real life dollars I could have saved them 500k in profit or is this game history?
