My first scrapper was spines... and I completely understand. I'll get him to fifty soon enough though. I went with Spines/Regen, which is great for farming, unfortunately, I don't farm...
-
Lady, I see the appeal of the lower priced Hold purples, but because of the severity of the crash, you generally do not want to be in a place that the hold is useful when it crashes...
Also, slotting lightning field for end drain doesn't make it good enough to be useful while taking away the DPS bonus that you get from it.
As far as Shadow Meld, my take is that you would want to pop it, then drain the end of your enemies in the 15s its up, and you're set. Don't want to pop it a second time during an extended fight. -
I understand the desire to improve the regen of Rise to the Challenge, but actually I find slotting a combination of Dark Watcher's and regen improves survivability. I prefer to slot it with 4 Dark Watchers and two Numina's. This is especially noticeable when fighting AVs.
-
Guesstimate, 7.5bil for the entire build. 10bil if you are impatient.
I would also like to say, I like the sniper. This is a great part of an opening combo, Moonbeam>Lightning Rod, that will let you take out one Boss and several Minions before a shot is fired against you. -
Quote:You only have to softcap Melee, Ranged and AoE defense to softcap all defenses, which you can do without sacrificing the 7.5% global recharge.Originally Posted by Shazaym
Was just playing around, and my moving 1 slot from Lightning field into Build up, and changing the slotting on Build up to a full set of gaussian's you can soft cap your positional defense in range, aoe, and melee!!!!
Also, if you slot a defense SO into combat jumping that also then softcaps EVERY defense with the exception of psionic (which is left at 43.7%) - ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Granted you loose a 7.5% recharge, but holy moly what a return!
Also, because of the damage mitigation already in this set, it is better to keep the -res proc in a toggle PBAoE rather than overblowing the softcap by a full percentile. Especially since you are talking about sacrificing another 5% global recharge to pull that off.
For this build, I would have to say that the original is better.
I would, however, recommend a run speed IO in swift, increases your speed more in a proc that doesn't use endurance, and you aren't flying with... The same could be said for Lightning Reflexes
You might also consider going with Doctored Wounds in Energize. Yes, you lose 12% regen, but you gain 5% recharge...
You can get that regen back and more by shuffling some slots. Take Power Surge instead of Super Speed and throw your +3 Def proc in there. Take the extra slot and throw regenerative tissues +regen into your energize.
That leaves one slot. Now, let's move that slot, plus your Miracle: Health to Stamina. Slotting the remainders of the set will give you another 5% recharge.
This also gives you Power Surge which can max out all your resistances save toxic and psionic for 3m.
What have you lost? 4% recovery. 1.9% max Hit Points. 1.8% Smashing and Lethal Resistance.
What have you gained? 2% regen. 0.23/s endurance (from a reduction in Endurance costs) 1.3% Fire and Cold Resistance. 10% Recharge. 2.5% Damage. 2.2% fear resistance.

As far as the best opening attack goes, that is still Electric Melee/Shield with the Lightning Rod>Shield Charge opening salvo to kill most everything below a Lt, before they get a chance to fire back.
That being said, I would guess that KM is pretty high up there with single-target, although lacking in AoE... -
Quote:Sorry, I was not rounding, my bad.Originally Posted by Chaos_String
AFAIK, recharge has always begun at the completion of a power's activation. If at one point this was not the case, it was before I ever began computing attack chains, which was a couple years ago. Not sure what was going on with your Kheldian.
There was a point during beta when the KM attacks had activation times which were very different from their rooted times. I believe what was happening was that the animation team were working on the fluidity of the animations when KM attacks are chained. I've noticed that quite often you don't appear to return to a neutral "guard" stance between attacks; they seem to flow into one another. Anyway, when the animation and rooted times were different, they DID apparently begin recharging before the rooted time was over. But as far as I know, since they've gone live they're currently working like other attacks, and the recharge begins at the completion of the animation.
And here's how I'm computing the Arcanatimes of BB and SB:
BB has a published activation time of 1.07sec. (roundup(1.07/0.132)+1)*0.132=1.32sec
SB has a published activation time of 1.2sec. (roundup(1.2/0.132)+1)*0.132=1.452sec
So BB takes 10 server ticks and SB takes 11.
I'll have to completely rethink my attack chain... damn, I hate it when that happens. -
Quote:I apologize. I didn't realize that they changed it so that recharge started at the end of activation rather than at the beginningOriginally Posted by Chaos_String
The chain you mentioned, SB>BB>SB>CS, requires SB to recharge during the animation of BB. SB has a base recharge of 7sec, and BB has an Arcanatime activation of 1.32sec.
7/1.32=5.303; 5.303-1 = 4.303 or 430% recharge enhancement. Not gonna happen.
Also, CS must recharge during the animations of SB>BB>SB. SB has an Arcanatime of 1.452sec and as before, BB has an Arcanatime of 1.32sec, for a total of 4.224sec. That's how fast CS will need to recharge. It has a base recharge time of 20sec.
20/4.224=4.734; 4.734-1=3.734, or 374% recharge enhancement. Also won't happen.
However, BB has an arcanatime of 1.202, SB of 1.332, making the combo even harder to pull off.
Do you know when they changed the recharge? I remember, particularly on my Kheldian, attacks recharging before the power had completed its activation... I missed an update post somewhere... -
I got my calculations by taking average damage divided by activation time. My numbers are based on Mids, will double check in-game when I get home from the in-laws in about an hour or two.
For recharge times you have to reduce from 7 to 2.27 for BS, which is possible, and for CS you have to reduce from 20 to 6.3. That is a reduction by a factor of 3, which can be done without Hasten. I'll drop a build here after I get home. -
Damage per activation time:
QS 69.6
BB 74.6
SB 84.9
RT 27.6
Bu 32.2
FB 56.5
CS 78.7
So, for single target damage you are looking at BB, SB and CS
The combined animation/activation time for those is 5.1s, However, adding a second SB in your chain will increase your overall damage. So I was looking at: SB>BB>SB>CS> for 506.3
before enhancements in a 6.3s time frame. Your first 6 attacks will be completed in 8.57s
That means that you would have to drop SB's recharge down to 2.27s which can be done without Hasten. You actually need a tad more to drop CS down to 6.3s, which can be done without hasten. -
So you're the one working on the new Scrapper's W**p powerset, and the Troller's D**k C******l sets. Although I doubt the rumors of you working on the Blaster's Rings/Throwing knives set is true... who would want that...
Really, welcome aboard. -
I have 3 or 4 bil, haven't calculated recently, but I'm not sure I could afford this build. Those damage purples are really expensive...
Not sure about all of local's suggestions, but since spectral is default perma you could live with just the psionic damage proc + the range proc and have a really good spook... moving two slots to SI for the 5% like local said, and I actually like having the Unbreakables in Blind, as it is used most of your three holds. Add a Ghost Widows Psi damage proc in there and you have a repetitive chance for good hits.
I also would use another Soulbound in phantasm, if you want to stick to a single slot, might as well use a Hami as it would give you better bonuses than SA for about the same price.
It's a good build. Not sure if spending the money on Damage Purples is well spent, especially since I'm not sure if tertiary or power pool damage is helped by containment. You might be better off having one of those in sets in SW.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts... -
Not a big fan of Kin, but Earth is a fantastic set. I would recomend taking a more melee like orientation to take advantage of Kin's debuff/buffs. You really need to be active with those Kin buffs, especially Siphon Power, to keep your damage up and your opponents damage down. The debuff/buffs are all single target until level 35 meaning that you generally are going to want to focus debuffs on a target that you are not controlling while using AoE mezzes and focussing damage on a single target. I recomend giving a lot of enhancement love to your AoE controls as they are what makes Earth so good.
But looking ahead, level 35 you get your Endurance-o-matic followed by a level 38 fulcrum shift which is the real reason that people take Kin over Rad... although I still prefer rad...
Anyway. It is a great build, but it is up to whether it is fun for you or not... if you get to level 38, damn gotta love Fulcrum shift... -
The general consensus, you can skip it, but you can also skip PA, and you would be hard pressed to find a power worth sacrificing spooky or the goon squad for...
-
I like this power more than just about any power in game. It makes huge spawns manageable, debuffs any opponent and looks cool.
I'm thinking of adding a +psi proc in there and seeing what happens, but it is beautiful as is... -
Quote:I comprehend that. It is neither stupidity nor ignorance. It is a twisted sense of humour that keeps that IO in place...Originally Posted by Lucky
This makes zero sense superior invis puts you at the stealth cap. You are completelty wasting a slot, and I ask why? is it because of ignorance?
Multpile people have told you it's a waste do you think we are lying? Let me say that again. SI PUTS YOU AT THE STEALTH CAP AND THE STEALTH IO IS A COMPLETE WASTE. You comprehend that? -
I have made the switch. It is now slotted with an Accuracy.
-
Quote:With the recharge I already have it is perma, but it was my mistake that I thought it was auto-hit. I may sacrifice the range/slow for accuracy, but I don't think I need any recharge there.Originally Posted by Prime_Nighthawk
It's my understanding that a big part of AV solo'ing is debuffing their regeneration. Yet you have Lingering Radiation with 1 slot and neither recharge or accuracy. There may not be any good options set wise, but why not put in a regular accuracy and 2 recharge IO's?
-
Quote:I understand the arguments, but still don't see them as being sound. If you confuse a mob, it kills something, how is that different than you killing it? Not so much a problem for the team player, but because I am generally on during non-peak (location), and generally don't team much even if there are people to team with, this isn't as much a team concern as a solo concern.Originally Posted by Local_Man
Yeah, there is. When a foe is the one doing the damage, you don't generally get XP for damage you don't do. Confusion actually gives you some BONUS XP since you get some of the credit for damage done by the confused foe as long as you, your pets or teammates.
I have a Mind/FF at 39 that I mostly solo -- It is a fun character, not real fast but not bad to solo. He's a lot of fun on teams, also. However, I haven't noticed any kind of drop in the XP he earns due to Mass Confusion or Confuse . . . in fact, those powers often save me.
Personally, I think this concern about XP Rate should not be a concern. On teams especially, your teammates will be doing most of the damage and any missed XP (It is not really lost, only missed) is way too small to be a concern since you will kill stuff faster. If the character looks like fun, try it! My Illusion/Radiation Guide has a section on XP and Confuse powers.
Anyway. I am going to roll him soon, I still have three controllers, including a Grav/Kin that I like despite really not liking the Kin secondary much; three scrappers, have a nice EM/DA scrapper that I am trying to focus on control; two doms, an EC/EA that is really turning out to be fun; and an EM/Nin Stalker that I took for the extra placate and stun powers; lest I forget my Peacebringer and Warshade that I haven't played in a month...
I think I've rolled too many toons...
But for the record. Grav and Mind Control Suck. I've played them a lot. You should never take them... (please don't become fotm...) -
I have a really fun build for a Mind/FF all planned out, the only thing holding me back is the fact that damage from confused mobs takes XP away. I know the argument about the XP rate being better, but is there really a decent reason that we don't get the XP from confused mobs? It just doesn't make sense to me...

I really don't see two things, first I don't think I have sacrificed anything for the Defense, meaning that I have the defense as frosting without giving up much for it. But also, I don't see how including SW in an attack chain is going to give me significantly increased DPS. Is it worth the cost of the powerslot? I understand where y'all are coming from, but I really don't see a reason to sacrifice the defense bonuses from the sets that I would probly be using anyway, for the most part, in order to get an extra 1% increase in DPS, that seems like the true survivability sacrifice there.
But I may be wrong.
As for the Celerity. I get that it is a stupid way to slot it. But it makes me happy, and isn't that enough?
Edit: I am currently reshuffling the build to take out Flash and put in SW. I will probably be taking the slots out of SI. But am, as of yet, undecided how to go about reslotting... -
Quote:The Celerity was a drop, and gives me that little extra stealth that I like to have... I know it isn't much, but it makes me feel safer...Originally Posted by vernichterhelge
the celerity in sprint is quite useless for an ill/rad
you wanna have spektral wounds and power blast for a good cycling attackchain
you should change the ER dam/end against the ER acc/dam (PA)
with perma PA/hasten/AM these amaounts of def are quite useless
Blind-PB is a better combo than SW-PB I would think... Either way you have a 2 attack chain, Spectral may offer a tad more damage, but it lacks the Hold. Plus the extra power slot is more useful than having SW, because I am not willing to forgo blind...
I will take your advice on PA.
Defense is never useless. And seeing as I am not giving away much to get it, I am happy to have defense rather than not. Makes me feel less squishy...
But I do see where you are coming from, and you are right in many respects, but again, the more insurance plans you have, the better. -
My ill/rad is on the verge of 41, at which point I will use my respec to drop Spectral Wounds for Power Blast, and my build will grow into the following. In many important respects it is similar to Local Man's build. I went for Unbreakable Restraint because I picked up a set cheap after issue 16 (purple markets generally dip at issue updates due to freespecs) and use ninja run as my primary travel. Also noteworthy, I chose Primal Forces over Fire because of Power Boost. This will double your mez effects and increase def, res and travel speed. With this much recharge you are looking at it being on half the time. Giving up spectral wounds and a travel power opened up the ability to mule an extra 8.75 recharge through GI and Choking Cloud while saving a slot. (Choking Cloud gives you a 7.5 for 4 slots rather than 6.25 for 5, meaning that it gives you 1.25 extra recharge and frees a slot while improving recharge). I also have a tad more overall def than Local's build. But have a look for yourself.

I have a similar build, although I went with the recall friend and flash/thunderclap. Add in Fissure and you have a really nice AoE control set that can keep the situation under wraps while your PA (not quite perma, but good enough for me) deals damage... Also note the very high regen... splitting SA into three sets is a really nice trick if you can afford it...
This is a solo build, I generally don't team, and don't know what changes I would make for a team, but to each his own...
