SS has better AoE IMO. Rage also buffs Lightning Field nicely, and allows you to slot differently (ie for end or rech) at less of a cost to damage.

Bare in mind I only really face one type of enemy on that toon

[/ QUOTE ] There you go

[/ QUOTE ]Which type would that be? I still find stone much better for family.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yup thats the one. I think it comes down to personal opinion and preferences. Some people i know prefer stone some psi

[/ QUOTE ]Some close minded heathen choose fire!

[/ QUOTE ]

Oi! you...me...arena!

[/ QUOTE ]Why? I obviously picked the best for PvE, and I don't double up for PvP! =P

Thats the case but only really for squishies in general pve, and as you state psi fills that hole if you got enough recharge

[/ QUOTE ]Def > Res for tanks too. And scrappers. And everything. Def is much easier to cap. Capped def is the same as capped res for most PvE play. Def also dodges debuffs and mez. So psi doesn't fill the debuff hole. I found that with psi as opposed to stone, I was squishier, even without using EE on stone. Both in combination with tough+weave.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well 67% res is 8% away from capped for me and hell its less powers picks than if i was going for max def. Bare in mind I only really face one type of enemy on that toon, the extra squishness for me is not an issue because I can survive easily, the only hole that needed filling was mez protection

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, on squishies, capped def is BETTER than capped res. 45% def is roughly 90% res worth.

45% def means 1 in 20 attacks hit you. As oppoed to About half. So that's being his 90% less. 90% res means you take 90% less damage. Difference being that def is a bit susceptable to burst damage (Which is, to be honest, rarely an issue I found, especially because a follow up attack is unlikely with def. Weakness for res is you can easily get nautered with -res (though fire/kins farming need not worry) and there's the general debuff vulnerability I mentioned before.

Basic rule: 2res=1def, unless you start to mix them. Then it gets more complicated. I just prefer def to avoid annoying things personally. Res can feel more solid. But I felt solider with a def epic on Burn Spirit. Meh.

Recently changed to Psi mastery. Make of that what you will, as currently I get near perma hasten for 4million inf...thats all im saying :P

[/ QUOTE ]Force feedback IO. Of course, it is a nicer IO for stone, but psi gets more use out of it (IW on fast recharge is NICE!)

[/ QUOTE ]
Sure perma EE is alot easier to achieve than IW but im a fan of my 67% res over luck Oh and agree with under control of course When leveling you dont want to wait 6 more lvls for your aoe

[/ QUOTE ]Def > Res IMO, but mez protection makes up for it in psi mastery.

Eurgh forget it, was meant to be a nice post, not a chance for people bully me with spam comments

[/ QUOTE ]

as much as i may have a dislike for Lui, you should wait for him to deserve to be spammed and assaulted. If he doesnt do anything wrong, then you should leave it be.

I personaly dont really like him, but until he does somthing in this thread to offend / try to offend me. Then just leave him be, maybe some people will want to join the SG.

I take it thats a joke =P

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, well its what we called him when our scrappers invited him from time to time

[/ QUOTE ]That was DM/SR and Spines/Regen, right? In which case...

Me = Greater PLz0r than you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah that's why we had to SK you and haul you around.

[/ QUOTE ]Face it, I've PLed you better than you have me.

EDIT: But that's not what the thread is about anyway!

Phantom Army hitting more and doing more damage maybe? Who knows. But -regen isn't Powerboostable. Well, shouldn't be.

[/ QUOTE ]
Power Boost won't affect PA or -Res from EF, so how would they hit for more damage?

[/ QUOTE ]Not hitting for more damage. Hitting more, and so doing more damage over time. With more -def in RI. But I'm doubting it.

LR (preferably power boosted)

[/ QUOTE ]
Which will only affect the slow, but sure

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure it boosts the -regen aswell. I did Lusca a hell of a lot faster after I respec'd to primal compared to my prior fire epic.

[/ QUOTE ]

nope it doesn't afaik.. source

[/ QUOTE ]

Well...In that case I'm very possibly wrong but I've always had the feeling every AV/GM I've done has gone down a lot faster if I've used PB'd LR.

[/ QUOTE ]Maybe it's all the other PBed things?

[ QUOTE ]
Well you can always make a fire/emp but that's never fun...Though hardly anyone has one...

[/ QUOTE ]Wouldn't be that bad. For solo, you have buffs for imps, but it's not as strong as other secondaries for adding carnage really.

[ QUOTE ]
doh i thought ye get freeze gun,rocket louncher and assault rifle

[/ QUOTE ]It's all the same gun.

Thursdays are good! I've got a backstory written for my character in the SG, haven't touched him leveling-wise in a while.

Just out of interest, what are we going to be doing? Meetups of Pure RP, or a mix of RP and PvEing?

Arch/Energy, 3 dam 3 rech. Use it with Build up and Aim for WHUPASS. Follow with Fistful.

Well, if they are targeting what is killing them, yeah. If they're not, no. Simple as.

[ QUOTE ]
stuff the 'fire/kin' fans who only do what is 'now', tommorrow they will be doing something else.

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, aaaaaaaaany time now. I'm waiting to see it.

Psi has probably the best AoE I'd say later on, but the OP was about ST.

I'm free all nights afaik.

FotM builds are good, good builds are fun... Therefore FotM builds are the most fun

[/ QUOTE ]That is flawed.
FotM builds are good at what they do, and so are fun at what they do. So it's not as overall fun as you said =P
