Its because Stardusk is following the rules, then b*tching about the Cabal not meeting some arbitrary standards when following said rules. I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd or 4th thread by him about the matter. <_<


No one involved is covering themselves in glory.

Cabal Platinum Solo

Reapers, London, Platinum 65:00

65:00 is faster than the current solos using the AIU. So, without a harrier, an acolyte or a reegar he managed to solo faster than the AIU solos.

Actually mine is like 33 minutes with AUI, of course, on white.

This is a fun thread.

[landylan]

Let me sum this up.

DoT is pitiful.

I would classify PS as a defensive power mainly now, so nightblades is its only offensive power really which can't compete with ballistic blades since they are limited to grenades. Their damage seems to suck just as bad as ballistic blades against bosses.

She has DoT melee which makes her even worse because she does the same damage just slower.

Poison strike won't hit junk half the time.

That's most the problems with it I can think of. I'm starting to think that poison strike should just be ignored on this kit. Hurricane IV does plenty of damage for platinum btw.

That's the crux of it right there.

Nope.



61:27.
Merc used a GPS, Talon combo.



59:34.
Course I used a Claymore, Acolyte combo because I needed them. Course I broke the rules but I think UMs is eligible.

Eh I guess they both don't follow your rules but still faster.

Sorry, wasn't aware of that. All the same, 5 minutes faster when you're using an infiltrator isn't exactly a world of difference.

1) He refused to use Harrier or Acolyte because Annomander made rules that you can't be accepted into the hall for using Harrier, Acolyte or running White, Ghost, Reactor, Glacier, Glacier Hazard, Reactor Hazard or White Hazard.

He's fighting on Ghost.
Annomander's rules are stupid. Who the **** cares how people solo their games? Seriously, that thread is a sad joke.

May I remind you all before you flame and rage like spoilt angry children, the rules exist for those willing to follow them. It is completely your own decision to follow the rules, just like it was my decision that a collection of platinum solo videos, all depicting giant + reegar / harrier / acolyte was against the spirit of the thread, which was designed to get people to solo with more variety. 

Up until the creation of the thread, there were under 10 classes which had been used for platinum solos. Now almost every kit has been solod with at least once.
*snip*

The point is, you don't make a thread complaining about a character because you can't solo plat with self imposed limitations.

If someone made a thread saying they the GI sucks because they couldn't solo plat with the GI when there was a no firing any bullets rule, then he'd be called stupid.

Just don't whine about a character because you're trying to do something characters aren't designed to do while imposing limitations on yourself.

Still.
Managed to prove you wrong.
GET YOU SUM!!

Plus my solo is more hilarious than good. Getting killed 48 times was more hilarious than anything and I still managed to go faster.

And then there's RedJohn of course.

48 times? That deserves it's own hall of fame.

You have to build her as another turian weapons platform.
Either 4/6/6/6/4 for mobility or 0/6/6/6/6.

Blades are too buggy and do too little damage. I don't care what the tooltip says, the burst aspect doesn't register a lot of times.
Biotic focus needs a major buff, it is the weakest of the survival cooldowns.
Poison strike needs a complete overhaul if we could ever hope for a power build.

Edit Guns: I usualy rock an Argus with her as its great if you want midrange. Pirhanna is good for close up. A raider could do it as well but biotic focus makes it hard to stay in close range. She is more of a hit and run.

Actually dying 48 times in a solo might be unprecedented... Hooray Repair Matrix.

Also NO MERCY!

Evil Overlord rules say so.

4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.

31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcements and/or romantic sub-plot for the hero or his side-kick

42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys that happens to follow him around.

I think she's perfect just the way she is. If you have experience with Drell Adepts and Vanguards you should feel right at home with the Cabal, with a small transition window of course.

For those who are saying that Poison Strike doesn't do enough damage, you're right. So stop trying to make it something it's not. Use it as a tactical power, such as for going right through a charging brute, or evading a mob all while doing a little damage and possible causing a burst/explosion.

Clearly not good enough to handle the greatness that is the Cabal.

That and a ridiculous ammount of "but I won't use X gun" and "I didn't spec Nightshade Blades fully" and whatnot.

Fo shame.

I also found this:

38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.

Hahaa! No wait! No maniacal laughter? Screw that I'll laugh anyway! BAHAHAHA!!!

They are not interested, so they don't follow them, so no entries. Makes sense to me.

No, the people complaining have no entries at all, even before the rules for Reckoning characters were implemented.

They never paid any attention to the post until it suited them to get up on their high horse and start flaming about a few simple rules designed to promote variety and kill off endless firebase giant spam...  None of them had made any attempt before to get themselves included in the post, or showed any interest in soloing, yet when rules were implemented which didn't affect them (they don't solo often) they got mad because.... I don't know?

So, no, it didn't make sense to you as you completely misunderstood.

That link... it's like 1998 and Geocities all over again

Also, nobody has to follow Annomander's rules for the hall of fame thread. Just posting a separate thread will get people to talk about your solo if it's interesting enough.

I find it very amusing though that the rules spawned several "buff the Cabal" threads from Stardusk.

[stysiaq]

Annomander, if I become insane and go for that Phoenix solo, am I bound by the rules? My aim is to join the cool kids, and that thread looks like a good start.

My aim is to become the official Biotic God, the Volus Vizier. I wish to be called Lord of Biotics, rather than Vodka (which I don't drink much anyway), so it's Phoenix or the Clocktor I'm considering.
