Werner vs. 2 AVs at Once (CoH)

Werner, my Katana/Regen scrapper in City of Heroes, beating two archvillains at the same time without using Instant Healing, inspirations, temporary powers, veteran powers, base empowerment buffs or click accolades.

I got Hro'Dtohz down to about 1/3 of his hit points to spawn Nemesis, then ran off to lose aggro. Once Hro'Dtohz had completely healed, I ran back in and smacked both of them a little to get them interested, and corner pulled. I ended up with Nemesis shooting from short range and Hro'Dtohz meleeing, which was perfect. Better to have a mixture of smaller more frequent hits and larger less frequent hits. Less chance of a few lucky big hits in a row. Anyway, taking apart Hro'Dtohz went swimmingly, and he was down quickly. Nemesis took longer, but once Hro'Dtohz was down, I wasn't really in any danger. And to make things even better, I never had to hit Instant Healing, though I used all of my other clicks.

The video is only of the most interesting center section, from when I ran in to pull both AVs to the defeat of Hro'Dtohz. From setting up the fight through killing Nemesis took about 35 minutes total.

R u sure tthose r AV's??

[WernerCoH]

@CoDmAn6677 Yes, I'm sure they're AVs. I was one of the early post-IO Scrapper AV soloers, but it later became very commonplace. If something like this seems impossible to you, pay a visit to the Scrapper forum. Most of the regulars have by now either done it or know how and just don't care to build that way. Also, I20 and the incarnate powers probably make this sort of thing trivial.

[WernerCoH]

@WernerCoH To clarify, most of the regulars have or could solo a single AV. Many have done two or more, but that's less common. I believe the record is something like 8 or 9 dev-created AVs on a Dark Melee/Invuln Scrapper, no temps, no insps. And again, I20 and the incarnate powers will allow even crazier stunts.

hey werner! I'm back again with another question or two lol. 1) what is your base regen with that toon? 2) when i activate all my heals i can heal for 166-168hp a sec. Is that too low? Cant wait for them to fix the bug that is not allowing me ta play on my lab (stupid i17) but im rdy to get back at it again! TIME CARDS FTW LOL! thx again

[WernerCoH]

58 HP/S toggled up

154 HP/S with Dull Pain and Instant Healing

You're asking the wrong questions, though. Regeneration is NOT what you should build for, and frankly, I have way too much on this outdated (I12) build. You want recharge, recharge, more recharge, and then defense. For more significant help, consider posting on the Scrapper forum.

hey werner! got a question 4 ya! can 5 lotg sets in my scrapper's build make up for not having haste?

[WernerCoH]

Well, sort of. Hasten with three recharge SOs gives you an uptime of 63.65%, times the 70% recharge when it is up is an average of 44.56% global recharge. 5 Luck of the Gambler globals give you 37.5% global recharge.  So they're both in about the same ballpark for average contribution.

[camarino007]

thx man! you really know ur shit!lol

[Knightphall]

Werner isn't lying....I however am jealous of what he can do....lol.

If I only had a few billion more inf....or even some extremely good luck for random rolls.

[WernerCoH]

It wouldn't take four minutes to down an EB, but I have no proof they aren't lower level AVs.

Unfortunately, I have a four year old machine, and if I record while playing, the frame rate drops to a crawl, and it's very difficult to play. So I settled for taking demorecords, then I record while playing them back.

I agree that the videos would be better with the interface showing. It just isn't practical for me, sorry.
