Quote:My pyre build ran with 204.5% global recharge and unless the FFB proc fired chaining fireball,stomp and burn wasnt gapless....albeit having that much recharge there wasnt a massive gap but it did annoy me from time to timeOriginally Posted by DreadShinobi
Depends on how much recharge you have. My SS/Fire is Soul Mastery because Gloom does fabulous ST dps with Dark Oblit for AoE, I farm 54/8 on him easily. I also farm on a SS/Fire/Mu when I need to pl toons on my main account and I honestly don't miss the extra aoe in Fences, and I don't feel slower without it. At a high level of recharge you will be able to chain aoes without it. On a low recharge/budget build it can be useful, but then again you're also losing the knockdowns from footstomp which can be helpful, especially on a budget build that won't have all the survivability that a fully fleshed out build will have. -
I tailored specifically for SS but even if i went claws or TW i wouldnt got above 20% fire defence
The loss in recharge isnt worth it for having to use one less purple
Also my main farmer is has 1 lvl 50+5 rech IO in rage I use it rarely
I also have macros for reds
and inspcombine binds on wasd

I am really impressed by DB's high level performance.

I will say now that Scirocco's D should NOT be slotted as its unnecessary and will lead to a lower global recharge.
20% fire def is all that is needed - 2 purples are so easy to get
Recharge is the most important thing for a farmer so you can chain foot stomp, burn, elec fences, and ball lighting.
and pyre is quite inferior to mu because of the lack of that 4th AoE
I would say run spiritual - i survive off a macro that spams blues as they drop so between that consume and ageless T2 im end sustainable -
Defence
Mocking Beratement - 6 slot these for 3.13% fire defence (iirc) and 7.5% recharge
>personally i would slot them into the t1/2 attacks and consume
Aegis - only need 3 slots of this into both fire and plasma shield
Steadfast Protection - the resistance/+ 3% defence can be slotted into temperature protection and be forgotten
Manoeuvres/CJ These should finish you of and push you past the 20% fire defence needed to only need 2 purples for softcap (easy to get on fast paced fire farms)
Vengeance This with a LoTG+rech and def/rech should take you to softcap if/when you have veng-bait
Recharge
Doctored Wounds Cheap and cheerful 5 slotted into Healing Flames
Mocking Beratement Aforementioned set - best there is for a fire farmer IMO
Obliteration I have this 5 slotted into Foot Stomp, Burn and Blazing Aura - nice 5% recharge bonus along with damage etc etc
ATO The Brute ATO is a nice recharge bonus and I would probably slot it into Blazing Aura as anything has better endurance reduction than obliterations
Positron's Blast 5 slotted into electric fences and ball lightning
Standards
LoTG I would be muling 5 of the global recharges into Manoeuvres/CJ/Vengeance/stealth/grant invis
Health Numi +/+ and Miracle +
Stamina I 4 slot performance shifters
Hope this has helped
GL with your build and with your new farmer

Every toon is built for perma hasten and I like super speed so most toons have it.
Medicine is meh
Presence Is meh except on my WS to protect fluffies
Fighting is a must on most toons as I'm hitting softcaps more often than not. If its something that can softcap without then I'm going for an incarnate softcap
Leadership is manoeuvres on most builds. If I have the space it's gaussians in tactics if not +perception proc and LoTG in veng
I have 3 or 4 toons with hover/fly but I'm undecided yet
I don't use tp
CJ is a must on every toon not flying for the LoTG mule and the added control
Concealment isn't necessary as I usually have super speed and stealth proc in sprint
Otheriwise I take 3 and mule them for LoTG (see farmers)
I think that's all of them, if I've forgotten then I don't use it
-
Maybe next time don't include such a massive prize fund, this will mean that people wont be anal about 'winning' and therefore cannot get annoyed if the build goals change etc

You missed AS strike in that chain

Staff/Fire Brutes rock at farming if that is something that interests you.

Quote:Please don't compare PvE stalker DPS performance to PvP stalker performanceOriginally Posted by Synesence
The ATO proc works wonders for us Stalkers, giving us the high ST damage we so rightfully deserve! Why are you upset? Have you gotten beaten by a Stalker in PvP?
A pve built stalker is not a pvp built stalker and the differences are quite large.
A chain for a stalker in pvp is BU > AS >(placate >)Sharks. repeat.
This cannot be used as an example sorry -
Keep up

Quote:The game reads your highest defence value - if you are attacked by fire blast, a fire ranged attack, the game reads your fire and ranged defence and rolls off whichever is highest. Shield gives positional defence and consequently should be built for as you can bump it up a lot higher with IOs over typed defences.Originally Posted by Riius Indigo
Hi Everyone!
Ok, so I change things up drastically. I now have 47.3% melee, 43.3% ranged, and 47.3% AoE. I also have 32.3% S/L.
Can someone explain to my why a scrapper with this build requires positional defense over typed (S/L)? Yes, my attacks are PBAoE, but I also tend to get a lot of folks around me hitting me. Wouldn't I want 45% S/L??
Anyway, here's my new build. I am trying to be a damage machine, that doesn't die a lot, and might be able to do some farming. Please let me know what you think I did right, and what I did wrong.
On to the build.
> first of all drop havoc punch and pick up charged brawl much better attack
> 5 slot aegis into tough and 6 slot performance shifters into stamina, that should cover AoE
> 3 slot LoTG into all def toggles apart from grant cover and combat jumping
> I personally like to 6 slot numinas into true grit
> slot the 2 3% def uniques into OwtS
> should allow for 5 slotting oblits into thunder strike and a force feedback +rech proc
Thats all I can see on the iPad ATM but obviously still need to pad out the defences with mako and touch of deaths etc.
Hope this is helpful -

When you figure in the costs of 2 achilles' procs (~120 million total) 3 Positrons sets (~120 million)

AS with Stalkers Guile and a regular PPM proc(Mako's is nice).
CI with Hecatomb and a regular PPM proc.
JB with Armageddon and the pvp -res proc.
CB with whatever, it can get away with slotting 3 procs but they won't be PPM. Personally I went for 4 slots, 3 Makos(+5) and one Mako proc. I could try to squeeze in a couple extra slots but I don't care about ST DPS that much. -
Quote:What's the ST chain for ElM assuming good slotting etc which procs would you slot where?Originally Posted by BrandX
Roll ELM or StJ and you'll have sets that have the same AOE as the Scrapper/Brute/Tanker version of the set.
Roll ELM and you'll have better ST than the other melee ATs with the powerset -
I didnt get it because to me, that says the 4th of January. You guys across the pond have it all backwards

Quote:I wasn't talking about softcapping but you don't seem to wan't to read my post, and from your reply you seem to be a bit full of yourself right now so I cannot be bothered to seek the help I sought from you if you are going to be like that.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
I'm saying I win. I met all the criteria.
I'll take the Armageddon set, you can even keep the Acc/Rech.
I didn't make the rules. The OP said if softcapped without Barrier win double moniez. -
Quote:Pet survivability will be lower without barrier though?Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Well, I believe I have met all the required criteria in the OP, plus the bonus criteria of a sustainable single target attack chain and softcapped defense without Barrier. I know you didn't expect this to be able to happen, and I am nice so I will accept the doubled infamy (500 doubled since I softcapped without Barrier) and since the attack chain is endurance sustainable I will accept only one of the 3 earned purple sets out of humility.

I think it may be impossible then

Also can we swap powers out for other ones? You dont have space for 5 LoTG +rech and you are missing out on easy def from other sources

*If the defence is reached without Barrier I will double the prize, same goes for if the attack chain is made to be sustainable. If both goals are reached I will give all 3 purple sets and the money! And probably more!
Challenge Accepted. -
I prefer gravity well over Essence drain grav well is a lot stronger and a bigger hit - allows you to one shot minions to blow em up with Unchain essence (which I think needs some more slots)

I cannot see any brute secondary beyond fire when paired with staff will be fast enough to be considered a 'farmer'
