After running a lot of Bruce's I've realized...

[Remedy]

Holy HELL do I love Protransers.

Give a Protranser some 38/44/50% melee weapons and a batch of traps and they make Bruce's look like a joke. :>

*hugs* to all my Protranser friends and all those that get made fun of. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Now that you mention it, setting traps up where the enemies spawn, then triggering them saves a lot of time...

[panzer_unit]

Aww thanks, Remedy.

We knew how bad our asses were since Lab S, but it's nice to have a mission where we can totally push it. It's nice to see the status traps come out swinging. Confused vandas for the win.

What's even better is a Protranser laying a Virus trap down, then a Fortegunner causing burn after the Virus trap is finished.

[Remedy]

Oh yeah, I've known since Labs too, but now you guys are REALLY shining.

Also, Panzer, you need to get in on my Bruce's runs so we can get you to Protranser 6 and get you some more ATA! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Edit: Oh lord, don't even get me started on confused Vandas. Confused Vanda Damufoie + Remedy Damubarta = dead vandas in no time

What about protransers with 37/43/49% melee weapons? are they still good?!

[Remedy]

You can't synth melee weapons at 37/43/49%, silly duck. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[JAFO22000]

Damubarta?? Don't you mean RAbarta?? I kill vandas good with that.

[Remedy]

No, I mean Damubarta, the giant glacier of generic Vanda destruction.

Nothing says "SCREW YOU VANDA" like 700 damage per second for 8 seconds to a huge area that you can move. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Hmm this is new and interesting information to me, but now that I think about it any high %s were always those numbers.

[JAFO22000]

Oh. I guess I should get started on leveling that up! What level is yours? Because Rabarta at 30 does WAY more than Dambarta at 5. Plus, I stand no chance of getting hit by anything by standing back....but I'd take that chance if I did 700 damage...

[Remedy]

My Damubarta is level 27, being launched from a Howrod held by a 63/8 Fortecher. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

...you have way too much time on your hands....lol!

Been spamming dambarta all onma runs. Almost lvl 30 ><

[Remedy]

It levels very, very fast, actually, up to level 11. Then you just take it into Linear Line S and have a field day of it until level 21. Then it just explodes. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Yeah, I'm good with just doing anything to help herd Vandas into that.

[JAFO22000]

Thanks. I've actually leveled it doing some Sleeping Warriors S runs. Badrias run right into it. My character looks like she's reaching to vacuum behind the couch when she casts it, though...

See? This is why Protransers rock. They spread delicious status effects AND herd my Vanda for me! *hugs every Protranser alive*

[TUSCAN]

my strategy is to use regular virus and poison on the kog nadd spawns, then the same combo in G form for the last few bil de vears. I try to stay in the front group and drop the odd damage trap on small vanda spawns when I pass them. I'm almost at level 8, so I can stand a bit of a beating when I get close to the bil de vears using regular traps. so basically it goes like this: virus and poison trap on each of the kog nadd spawns in the first big room, then the same combo on the kog nadd in the last room. then it's one of those on each of the two bil de vear spawns on the second block, and a few damage g's for those pesky vanda spawns in the hallways. virus g and poison g on the bil de vear in the 2nd last key room (make sure you plant it a bit in front of where it spawns because g traps always effect the weaker enemies first, so if too many vandas are around the bil de vear he won't take the status) and in the last room I use about two virus g and poison g traps, making sure they effect the bil de vears. I'll throw in the odd freeze if I feel like it, but I like the idea of using confusion a little more. any more than that and the mission gets too expensive.
always set on give finder, because the money pick ups can make the difference. all it takes is a little maturity and trust between friends. I'll gladly let people have the items and rares if I get a few more money drops, seeing as traps are my best weapon. I don't like to beg for money, because nobody made me become a protranser. this mission can be a big loss if someone dies on the last two bil de vear spawns, however, so I'm not above bumming for change. most people are glad to help after a run or two proves the worth of the traps.
anyway, it's nice to hear some love for protransers. I feel like I'm the only one on the 360!

[panzer_unit]

I think you are.

[akratic]

Nah. I know a protranser on 360. But it sounds like he and you play differently: with you sort of playing well and with him sort of, well, not.

[Remedy]

Haha, Tuscan, you'd love me. I go out and purchase batches of traps for my Protransers so they can spam them and give them to them mid-mission. =^.^=

[Zato-2TWO]

Ha ha! Protransers rejoice, for there is praise among us! Who among men can so easily infect any monster they please? Nay, be it not those who wield SE4 Virus Bows! It be us, the proud and the risky! Who thrust mightily into combat, across waves of lvl 30 Bartas and who slaps three Olgohmons with a silence trap! Aye, verily, it is a sport of men!

And Rem! We must Bruce it up some time! I spend too much money on traps! =O
