    Like /Dark corrs, for example. They have a tohit check, nothing should be hitting you during MoG, so if you crit and hes low on life and about to try and use a pb heal, hitting MoG will ruin his day, and you can go on to lulz.

    The short version:

    DR is the implementation that makes players who put a lot of effort and money into their toons feel cheated and disappointed.

    It is also the thing that makes new players who start pvp hilarious farm targets, cause "I haz 45% def on my blaster in PvE"

    The longer version:

    Its an implementation by the Devs that scales down all values while in a PvP zone.

    Using the above example, a blaster has 40% defense from Ice Armor and slotting IO sets. Well the DR curve on Blasters defense pretty much plateaus at 20%, so no matter how much more you add, it will keep you around that value.

    Scales for Defense and Res are higher for melee toons, so its not affected as much, though its still present.

    Other things hit by DR are Recharge (pretty substantially), tohit, acc, and a host of other things.

    Have fun.

    Means I'm an awful blaster, but I made you a build anyway.

    You're way to concerned with +rec. The therm is going to nuke it either way, you need to worry about +hp, +dam and +rech.

    You also need more kb protection. 41 points at least.

    Do not slot Frozen Armor for resists, Defense.

    Take the chance for Build Up out of Tactics, if you're going to slot it, put it in Build Up or PF.

    Health and Stamina are overslotted. Miracles and Numinas Uniques in Health. Stamina, I use 2 End IOs and a Perf Shifter Proc. That however is up to you.

    More Dmg Procs in your attacks. Not just the chance to hold.

    Try this out, though its a bad blasters version of a good build.

    I would drop CP and pick up Tactics.

    You also probably overslotted SnowStorm. Steal a slot and put it in Mental Blast or something and slot the chance to Hold proc.

    Then steal another one and put it in Tactics if you get that. Also I dont like your slotting in Hoarfrost, you don't need more Toxic resists and you can get +hp in another set.

    But if hes planning on joining Kickball he'll need Powerboost. That just leaves phase. And its a tight build.

    Hey everyone. I came up with a build for an Ice/Psy and I want to get it ripped to shreds since I dont think its as efficient as it could be. I have done controllers, but never really leveled a Dom.

    Power choices aren't locked up. Im iffy on Glacier and I dont have a 35 power choice picked.

    I tried to avoid Purples, but still achieve high levels of recharge. Any help would be appreciated.

    And yes that heal and run toon line is an instant classic.
    Srsly? RoF and Burn? Hes fighting a freaking Blaster. That **** hardly flies in zones.

    The curve is so steep past 55% PvE numbers, I would say it isnt worth it. Shoot for 55 or so and you'll come in with about 39~40. Thats decent enough. Buffs will still ruin your day.
  19. _Lith_
    Im sorry, but Im not a numbers guy. What are you looking at for recharge on Retsu between its own recharge/hasten/global numbers? If you're looking at more than 6 minute down time, I still wouldnt be comfortable with that amount of ranged Def.

    WP has all around stuff, but the RttC is an offensive toggle, so the regen from it won't really help most of the time.

    Regen is regen, and on a stalker it seems like getting burst damage will kill you outright

    Electricity is a resist based set, so you can get it to 60% or so easily, but you can also get 20+ def with IO sets, and 55% with Shadow Meld. Now add in a self heal, recharge and an endurance/regen buff. That seems like a pretty strong combo, so why does this not work?

    Is Hibernate a better option than Shadowmeld?
    Mostly cause you dont understand how a lot of PvP works.

    Nin is defense based, but can reach high levels of defense, has readily available powers which can slot a variety of IOs. Defense on a stalker isnt actually that bad, you build for enough of it vs mosty ranged you can be pretty tough to hit.

    As pointed out /WP doesnt have RttC, it was replaced with a reconstruction clone. A self heal.

    Regen is always good, on everything. MoG is up enough and good enough to escape situations, and you will have either phase or hiber to fall back on.

    Elec can get good resists, but its defense means nothing since there is no elusivity tacked on. So after all the Blasters rip through your defense, you fall back on Res, which will soon after be completely ignored as you get hit constantly.

    Mac knows what hes talking about. Go with that.
