There have been about 3 topics about this in the last week. They should still be on page one of this sub-forum.

I don't have a build for my old Ninja/Poison MM, because i despised him. Ninjas are too delicate, in my experience, to allow you liberal use of the poison secondary. If you've got the skill and the tact, it's possible to make one work, but...if you're not willing to search page 1 for a relevant topic, i've got sincere doubts.

It's a mixed bag. On the one hand it's bog standard decent slotting, then some things are totally out of whack, like 5x Resist IOs in the Patron Shield, despite 3x IOs giving max benefit. I find it all a little weird.

Health doesn't need 6 slotting on an MM, unless for the sets. TG could do with a full Touch of the Nictus.

Shadow Fall can slot the KB proc, while also serving to give the Thugs some resists. By speccing in Maneuvers and with Enforcer's inherent +Def buff, they'll be somewhat near the cap anyway, ESPECIALLY if you take advantage of the fact that Gang War can slot all four Pet Aura IOs, and get the full +20% resistance, +10% defense.

There are things I'd never do, and things that look pretty odd to me in that build, but if you're comfortable playing that (I can imagine your blue bar being sucked down like nobody's business), then go for it

Aye, best of luck in Final year. See you soon

I can understand you not wanting to run out of endurance, but looking over some of your slotting, where you've only put one endurance reduction in some very endurance heavy powers, the Performance Shifter proc isn't going to cancel out neglecting to slot out the powers in a healthy manner.

I recently considered a Mind/Ice myself (I just love power boost ), so I may swap over in bootcamp and knock up something with some simple, inexpensive IO sets, if you'd like. As that build stands, it packs a lot of punch. However, if you *really* wanted to go damage focussed (which I can see from some of the Mind/ slotting), then why didn't you pair it with a secondary which contains build up?

Energy excelles at aiding control, so perhaps you'd want to capitalise on that by frankenslotting with IOs, instead of running a somewhat edgy SO build?

(By the by, do feel free to put me in my place if that's how you like to play. I play a pretty psychotic Ice/Ice permadom, who is quite happy locking down everything in sight *and* tearing things limb from limb. I'm just going on what i'm used to)

Edit: Re-reading your post, Low HP (think: Stalkers) benefit *much* more from Defense than they do Resistance. However, charged armour is a decent toggle, but again why no enduance reduction? Running that & spamming your margainly less expensive powers is going to drain you fast. Power Sink from the MU pool could aid that, but that's only in the late 40s, making the domi a killer to level. Also: No Mu Guardian healspammer? :P

Welcome back

Yep, defiant's still going strong. Even redside . If you're 'ere in need of any help, please don't hesitate to grab me on @Xemulas.

Aha! Gotcha, know a few people rely on that if you've not got each other's e-mails.

Wont get in the way

Anything you want done with this, or did you just fancy pasting a datachunk in here randomly?

I main on an Ice/Cold corr.

Still amazing in PvE, solo/teams/SFs

Went from amazing zonal PvP to a waste of time since the i13 changes. I can still have fun on him, but his slows, blasts and debuffs just aren't what they used to be

Defense has nothing to do with generating fury. It's not if the hit lands, it's if the hit was attempted.

My only brute is a DB/SR, his fury is almost always at 75%+

The Former. All forms of elec get Energize

Oh Omega

Another skilled and charming player leaves our midst...You will be missed. I'm glad that real life is bearing such wonders for you though, even if it does get in the way of the e-life. Still, rather one than the other 'eh?

Hope to see you again in the future, but until then, all the best to you in whatever you go!

Here are my thoughts upon looking over your build. I've got a DB/SR brute, so they come from personal experience.

I'd personally swap those crushing impacts for Makos bite, for the +defense set bonuses. I tend to prioritise soft capping over +recharge, especially as DB is plenty fast enough as it is. Along those lines, i'd put Obliteration into the AoE/Cone attacks.

Bearing this in mind, I'd drop the fighting pool, as that is what's going to drain your endurance. If you can softcap through the suggestions above, Weave becomes obsolete if you're at 45% defense, and thus just a drain on your blue bar. I also think regardless that tough is pretty redundant on an SR, presuming that you're going to softcap them. I'd just carry oranges

I'd slot the passives with 3x Luck of the Gambler pieces, for +HP and +Regen set bonuses.

Also, 4 slotting stamina with 2x End mod, 1 Performance Shifter End Mod and the Performance Shifter Proc makes for a nice +end set bonus, and the +endurance proc is really quite noticeable.

It's worth 6 slotting elude for another full set of Red Fortune if you ask me, but YMMV.

Afterthought: Do you have the 2 +end accolades? They can really make a difference to your overall recovery, alongside any +max end set bonuses
