Talk:Praetorians (Enemy Group)
Revision as of 02:35, 3 February 2008 by imported>Sera404 (Infernal has perception buff?)
- Antimatter will escape the first time you find him during the Tina McIntyre Story Arc, once his life reaches 50% or so, hence the special power mentioned. Please note that defeating him in this mission will NOT count towards the Portal Jockey accolade, and you will need to fight him again.
- Antimatter will fight you a second time, in the same Story Arc, this time to stay. He may be dangerous due to the number of Area Effect debuffs he has, being perfectly able to inmensely debuff the whole group if you leave him do it. Once his life has dropped enough he will use his nuke, Atomic Blast, and by this point nearly everyone will be severely debuffed. He uses it with alarming frequency, and it will probably kill those who are in Melee range if they are unlucky.
- Neuron is, apparently, the easiest of Praetorian AVs. For some reason his damage output isn't very high (for an AV). Despite his powers have a -Recovery component, I never found him hard at all. He does not have huge nukes, nor tries anything strange during fights (indeed even his use of Lightning Clap seems to be very unusual, as I have seen him use it only once) As usual, results and opinions greatly depend on the character and archetype you play.
- Lightning Field will not display at all, but it is there, and the chat window will reveal it. I used the PIGG files as a source of info and added the proper icon, and I just hope everything is all right.
- Shadowhunter may be found always at the same spot, in the river near the wall, NE corner of the mission map. His armor and ability to heal himself usually means this is a rather long fight. As he's present in at least one timed mission, I advice bringing a team with a good damage output, to make things easier.
- Infernal appears to have some sort of perception buff which allows him to see through stealth. Well, he could see through my illusionist's Group Invisibility, so I'm not sure how strong his perception is.
