Sure you can, fight some energy resistant foes, and then not to see if the splash damage is resisted, or, just check your combat log to see what type of damage is being done to the splash enemies.

Also, Red tomax has t-strike at 40.04 for the energy damage. Meaning 80ish damage to splash slotted, and its 41.71 for the smashing part. So Its about 162 damage to the main target, not 120.

There is supposedly an official ston3ys mids update, but i'll list the one from the unofficial version for you here:

I agree completely.

Yes i use energy blast as the main average basis as well. Not sure on the damage scale you're using.

The old scale besides the actual level 50 daamge amount i used to use had power bolt at 2.778, blast at 4.556, etc.

But per values Sniper blast in energy should be roughly:

Power Bolt: 62.56 damage
DPA: 62.56
DPS: 12.512

Power Blast: 102.6 damage
DPA: 61.44
DPS: 10.61

Power Burst: 132.63 damage
DPA: 66.315
DPS: 11.05

Sniper Blast (Current): 172.67 damage
DPA: 39.88
DPS: 10.57
RECH: 12s

Sniper Blast (with properish DPA): 269.37 (56% increase)
DPA: 62
DPS: 11.07
RECH: 20s

I'm not sure why you keep bringing up DPE. Nothing about DPA has anything to do with endurance. IMO you need to cut the whole DPE though out of your head and look fresh.

And on lots of toons with 3 tier blasts, i use those, plus one hard melee attack from the secondary and its seamless with less. On my fire/dev for example though, he uses Devastation acc/dam/rech, acc/dam/end/rech, t-strike: dam/rech, acc/dam/end, acc/dam/rech, dam/end/rech. The t-strikes are fairly cheap, especially if you use off levels, and you can fill the devastations with other frankenslot IOs if you want.

Granted its overall about 90% recharge in attacks. But as shown is easy to do, cheap with t-strikes, and you can find other than devastation if you want a cheaper alternative. With fire blast this will give pretty much a seamless attack chain. I think someone has a formula to do it out there, but you can also think in your head "ok this power recharges this fast, and animates this long, so i have x amount of time to fit in other attacks before it recharges, then the 2nd attack i use recharges in x time etc"

DPA just lets you know which powers to put IN your attack chain. Then you figure out their animation times and recharges and lower their recharge to get what you need to get the most seamless attack chain. Even if there is lets say a 1 second gap after using flares > fire blast > blaze > flares > fire blast > 1 second gap > blaze, due to DPA its more worth it to wait for that 1 second gap before using the next blaze than it is to use a snipe attack.

Figure it this way, first calculate the DPA of the powers, then figure the max recharge you can get per power. Once you do that then try to formulate an attack chain, using the powers with the highest DPA first, then if due to their new enhanced recharge there is a gap, add the next highest DPA, until there are no more "holes" or there is not another power thats more worth using in those holes than it would be to wait that short while for the next higher DPA power to recharge and be used.

I can say this much, with every blast set that has a tier 1/2/3 blast, with the slotting i provided, i've never had a problem stringing an attack chain with the 3 blasts, and the very slight possible use of one heavy DPA melee attack. In any blast set, the snipe is NEVER worth using in the attack chain.

The only sets that come close are AR and Elec, who lack a 3rd tier blast. My elec makes up for it with 3 super hard hitting fast activating (ie high DPA) melee attacks, and the AR is ice, but has the slotting i provided and a few recharge bonuses that he can for the most part string just burst and slug.

All of my blasters with the 3 tier 1/2/3 blasts don't use hasten either and can still achieve this. Add hasten in and i guarantee you wont have any gap in your attack chain. The 3 attacks unslotted with hasten is almost enough to do this on its own just for your reference.

The attack chain: Tier 3 > tier 1 > tier 2 > tier 1 > tier 3 > tier 1 > tier 2 Is usually the easiest seamless chain to do without having to think about it. The 2 tier 1 and one tier 1blast activate in 3.67 seconds. So you have to figure what recharge you're having on the tier 3 blast to see what gap you have in your attack chain. Some rech frankenslotting + hasten pretty much gaurantees there is none. But if you're like me and hate using hasten then figure it like this:

With my suggested slotting + some minimal recharge bonuses, like 2 from positrons blast, maybe a crushing impact set in a melee attack, On my energy/fire blaster for example, Power burst is on a 4.48 second recharge. This means that there is a .81 second gap before i can use power burst again.

To figure out in the snipes case if its worth it to use the snipe, add that gap time to your activation time of power burst, then figure out which is more damage during its activation time, power burst, or the snipe. I can tell you right now Power burst is still going to win out.

I've never found the need for taunt on an invuln tanker personally. Invincibility is a STRONG auto hit taunt. Plus the extra to hit it gives makes your attacks more useful with gauntlet.

Also even back when, invuln without the exotic passives is still fairly decent allowing you to hold them off till you pick them up.

I'm assuming Gaff is giong for a tanking AVs build? or what exactly?

As a tanker teams unconcered with the slightest help, but invuln is a pretty solid set. With the knockdowns of t-strike and uber kd/damage of lightning rod it has many tools for survival.

Hasten i would suggest much earlier, for a big part dull pain which is a large part to your survivability, but also to recharge elecs ST attacks which are fairly low and CI which is a long recharge.

Here is the build i made for mine. Like i said i didn't much find the need for tough/weave, and if you need them that early for what you'd be facing, the rest of the team isn't helping enough personally, not to mention the end issues before IOs with both tough and weave. Plus the nice addition of regenerating a tic of hp every 3.5 seconds

Both extremely useful during dull pain (which yes is for the most part perma outside of like 10ish seconds on average. And during the very rare chance of using unstoppable.

I've also toyed with ditching unstoppable for picking up energy torrent for extra aggro and aoe damage, would just require ditching a the 2nd slots in the exotic passives, one in RPD, and the one in FA, but the kd can help survival and extra aggro with good set bonuses as well.

Can always try both out with dual builds. Hope you have fun!!!

Yeah im hating all the incongruent mids. I currently have 3 versions, the old, the pre i16 from stoney, and the new i16, its on the middle one :/. If you need i can report it over to the new version.

Is it safe to say that Mid will NEVER be back to doing the designer and i can overwrite the newest ston3y version over the old mids version in the same spot?

Definitely take lightning field. Damage auras are always worth it. Plus if you skip that, then why even bother going elec armor? Its weak outside of some bonuses like that, if you were skipping the damage aura you might as well, and would be better off going with willpower or invuln.

So are we going to have to re-download a new version of mids EVERY time a patch is put in the game?

Between the 3, i'd definitely go with elec/shield.

Bs/shield is nice though, but if we're talking soft capping defense, part of the biggest boon of bs being parry will be pretty much wasted.

Between SCRAPPER fire melee and elec melee i'd say elec has better aoe IMO for sure.

For starters build up + LR + SC will pretty much clear everything but bosses, if not needing a t-strike as well to assist to get to that point.

Fire melee for scrappers still disappoints me, as it loses combustion, which is a big source of extra aoe damage on tankers.

Plus breath of fire, you will not have much any buff from AAO to boost it as you need to move out of the mob to hit most of them.

So it comes down to 1.5x FSC + 1.1x BoF, versus 1.5x tstrike, + 1.5x jacobs ladder + 1.5x chain induction + 1.5x LR. On a scrapper, i'd say elec melee more than pulls ahead in the aoe department. But like all balancing, fire melee easily wins out in the ST department.

But I wouldn't say elec can't still be worthwhile in that department, but what it outdoes in aoe makes it far more worth it. Not to mention elec provides some mitigation like the knockdown from t-strike that fire melee does not offer any of.

Elec/shield FTW!!!!!!

The end result will be probably one of the best post Issue 16 farmers out there as well.

However not to say i'm not also excited about my fire/SR i'll be doing :P Also planned out builds for elec/SR, elec/regen :P

If you want to take a look and how the overall defenses play out let me know.

My elec/shield build is about 39% to defense, while may not capped, he has good hp bonuses and heals a tic of hp every 3.5 seconds. Pair that with the fact that 96% of the mobs won't outlast the first 3.5ish seconds, With 3 knockdowns for the alpha volley as well, and its pretty darn tough.

My fire/sr build is capped defenses with 3.5s tic for regen as well which is also pretty spiffy.
