    I just gotta say, I would despise a power that required me to be at maximum endurance to use.
  2. Yeah, I'd kick any kind of player with such a sense of self importance from my team.

    Just nitpicking, but Stygian Circle can as well!
  4. Regardless of how feasible or needed this is, it would be awesome to be able to slot a Steadfast +Def in SR with only a single pool pick.
  5. Yes, the reason I stopped reading was because of how much I disagreed with that statement.

    Eden Fires guide from I6 still has plenty of good advice. Especially if you're not worried about set bonuses.

    p.s. It's nice to see a post abut a building a "non-purpled" out ultimate toon. I wish there were more threads like this.
    Emphasis mine. I just went to check this guide out and stopped not two paragraphs in.

    Your purpose is to protect your team. That is correct. I’ll repeat it, your purpose is to protect your team. You are no corruptor. Your damage is gimped to much for that and you really can’t heal the team or provide buffs or debuffs.
    This may have been written before the Dom buffs, but any guide that starts off saying /Fiery is gimped isn't what I'm looking for when I'm building my new Plant/Fire.
  7. Blargh, quoted before I could fix my typo.

    There's a few exceptions to that rule, but I'd doubt if DP broke it.
    I don't find that to be true. Usually the debuffs from the same power from the same caster do stack.
  9. Definitely want this on my Elec/SD Scrapper, Ceremony. She's softcapped to all positions, so mostly only needs to worry about Hami. Nothing a few EoEs can't fix. She did fine tanking Reichsman last night for my Mo5th run.

    Ive only ever used the stealth IO in teleport so I was curious.
    The Stealth lasts 120 seconds, but is constantly refreshed if you leave the toggle on.

    I pretty much leave it on all the time unless I'm traveling.


  12. I use the Stealth IO in hover.
  13. Oil Slick has been bugged since it's inception. Though I've never really heard of such poor ratios in actual instanced maps.
  14. Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll take a look at all of it. I do realize the potential SD could add to the build, but I've leveled it to 50 as both a Tanker and a Scrapper now. The concept I'm working with goes better with SR anyway, I think.
  15. Two slots in PB is for cases of exemplaring. I'd hate to not have perma mez prot on a Sister Psyche or something. Is the running thing really that big of a problem for Fiery?
  16. Yep, I want it to be a Scrapper. I already have a Rad/Son Defender and a Bots/Traps redside who can cream AVs pretty easily. The MM was taking down AVs in his twenties... so I am looking for something with a bit more challenge now.
  17. So, I finally got my first Scrapper to 50, an Elec/SD, and got her all IOed out. She destroys spawns like a beast. I'm able to lay down the AoE damage like nobody's business. The ST damage, however is rather poor. So I'd like to move on to something which will be able to bring down AVs now, and just so happens to have some nice AoE on the side, as well. Here's my plan for the build. Just wondering if I've covered all my bases on survivability, DPS, and endurance management. It's designed to run the Scorch>Incinerate>Scorch>Cremate chain. So let me know if I made any glaring errors, thanks!

    Combine this with the damage buff from Against All Odds and you have just about all the AoE damage you'll ever need. Get a good softcapped (45% or greater defense to melee, ranged and AoE attacks) IO build with good +rech bonuses and you have a death dealing machine that is almost unequaled.

    I have one such death dealing machine and there are many good reasons it is the current FotM.
    Also, it's freaking fun to play.

  20. You might want to post the data chunk. Link isn't working here.

    Sonic/Elec

    As long as you do have some blasts, and you use them, while still keeping up your buffing duties then you're probably okay. If you're focused on teaming, though, I would at least try to fit in Ball Lightning. AoEs are going to be much more helpful in a team situation. I skipped the Snipe on my Emp/Elec, and much prefer having the ranged AoE. Short Circuit is nice if you don't mind getting into melee, too.

    Aid Other and Aid Self are going to be preference. They're not bad to have, but you certainly don't need them. Power Sink is an amazing End Recovery tool, especially with the End heavy Sonic Resonance along with Leadership. Volty is hotly debated, but I like having him to pump out a bit more DPS.

    They actually cost 2/3s less, 50 inf! A real bargain.
  23. Thanks guys. I'll be sure to try this out when I get home.

    Rad Emission

    There's really no secondary that doesn't go with Rad. Well, maybe /Energy if you can't control your KB.
  25. So, I just finished my Elec/Shield's build, and it's awesome. But now she's so efficient I find I don't have much use for most of the inspirations that drop anymore. I can always use more damage though. Is there a bind I can use to make inspiration combining easier so I don't have to stop in my slaughter to do so? Even better if it would work across all types and tiers.
