How's the DPS of HoB on one target? I'm trying to figure out if I should be using it on single targets (since it's the nuke) or sticking to single target attacks.

Only defense /shields is inferior on is psi; otherwise, defensively-speaking, it's superior. Nevertheless, call it wannabe-rebelism, but shields are getting pretty trite as an answer to everything. Electric and Dark are also great sets

Quote:See. You're okay with this game limitation, but not okay with swinglines?Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Game limitations. Yes, I'd love to see everything work like the mayhem missions, but it can't right now. And coming back to a mission in the same spot is called "the entrance is selected randomly."
You're okay with Mercs coming down on repel lines from no where?
You're okay with manholes appearing in office buildings so Thugs can enter?
You're okay with the Fire Blaster throwing a Fire Blast, that doesn't hurt any nearby players?
You're okay with weapons appearing out of thin air?
But swinglines to nowhere is the gamebreaker? o.O
That all said, if it's a game limitation. Okay.
But the condition that it would be a swingline to nowhere, as being the problem with the power, just seems odd. -
Quote:Good thing for all the other content that won't have access to Incarnate abilities, and people who's concept is a Fire/Fire Blaster for example.Originally Posted by brophog02
Damage is already the aspect in this game that becomes the most irrelevant the fastest, because you only need enough to kill, and no more does any good. Blasters are already amongst the most irrelevant ATs at the top end, because everyone else does damage, too. Get on a team with a few debuffers, and they don't need the blaster, at all.
It's just part and parcel of an AT that primarily does one thing. The more you give other ATs that potential, the less relevant that AT becomes, even if that AT also gains in that area.

Give in to your inner min/maxer and go with shield defense. Its ease of soft-capping, damage buff, and AOE attack are just too tasty to turn down.

That said, I don't think it's needed. It'd be an awesome feature, but hardly needed, and it might put Scrappers from perfectly balanced to OPed. -
I love this idea, but I do have a problem with it.
Why a 1 hour cool down? o.O
How about a 5 minute cooldown, if any cooldown at all. -

WP's aggro aura is the weakest of all aggro auras.
No idea on your budget, but keeping to your build, I just rearranged the slotting. THough without Confront (for single target tanking) or the PResence pool (for an AOE taunt), I wouldn't say you'd be tanking so much as running in and taking the alpha.
This also isn't what I consider the best for the build, but again, not all sure what you're going for either. -
Quote:Shileds may be the set that's more fun to play though.Originally Posted by BrokenPrey
Well all three are good.
I like Kinetic Melee/Shields the best but that is because I love shields. I would think Kinetic Melee/Willpower would be the best for solo play because Quick Recovery will let you fight nonstop easier.
Shield Charge means you're using your secondary more than toggle and go.
That said, personally I don't like the KM animations when paired with shields. -
While not always the case, I find usually it's best to just keep all on the one target, whether more arrive or not.
But knowing the ATs doesn't do much as I would think the Defenders/PB/MM could likely stay at range (though not always the case) to avoid the AOEs, and maybe the dominator depending on the combo. -

Their dwindling population that has forced them to go F2P says it is one of the problems they are having.
And again, if you can use your imagination to say you're sinking down to bottom of the ocean to super jump out of the water, I see no reason to think you can't use your imagination for something like swingline mechanics.
My magic character summons magic henticles that attach to the sky to swing them across the landscape. There ya go. Swinging anywhere.

Quote:This build looks awesome. Makes me want to roll a DM/INV.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Incredible. Just incredible! I am impressed at how with the help of the community I've been able to squeeze every single drop of power out of my DM/Inv.
At the beginning Succubus Kali was softcapped at F/C/E/N Defense with (I believe) no Hasten and was using Body Mastery. Bad idea, I know, so she changed up her build to have S/L softcapped and F/C/E/N at 40%. With the introduction of Hasten and the Spiritual boost she was able to do the MG > SM > SL > SM attack chain. Satisfied with my single target chain I still wanted to do something about my lack of regular AoE. Again the community helped out on how to get Fireball in the build for me all the while raising the F/C/E/N Defense up to where S/L was at... 45%! Thanks to Inherent Fitness there was more room to pick up crucial powers. From there on it was some smaller changes until we've come up with a build that is so incredibly well suited for my playstyle!
On the horizon is the Rare and Very Rare Spiritual boosts, which should only serve to increase my Damage and Damage Mitigation! I look forward to it.
I greatly appreciate all of you folks that have contributed! Thank you so very much!
With this tentative (I don't dare say final!) build I would only have 11 IOs to buy. Well within my grasp, and sooner rather than later!

My only thoughts are, going spawn to spawn, your END should be fine enough, I would think you could do without the ENDRED in Fire Ball and possibly move it to Smite for either an ACC/END/RCH IO to buff it's enhancement in those areas OR put in a proc in Smite OR put a -Resist Proc in Soul Drain, since you will be using Soul Drain on the single targets.
Also, I'd still replace the lvl 50 Generic IO in Siphon Life with a Gogli Hami-O, for added ENDRED. -

Quote:o.O WP never needed to take Fitness pool early. Could of easily waited on taking the fitness pool after lvl 20 before.Originally Posted by protector_knight
Thats what I figured, so either I could wait for the spawn to walk away then use it, or just not use it. Maybe if it was Fire or DA version it would be useful mid spawn, but in those sets in some situations it is better to die, then res, than to take the effort to stay alive.
Thanks. I went db/regen, I hate it. love the concept on the toon back then, so he ain't deleted. When I went db/wp when it was lauched, I liked it, but both are power choice heavy early on, but now that fitness is inherent, that won't be so bad anymore. Thanks.
But now that's a moot point.

Quote:They don't program you sinking all the way to bottom of the water either, yet that example was given.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
So you want the devs to go to the trouble of programming a low flying hero/villain/jet/rikti bombship/arachnos flyer that is always conviently flying over your head. That's even more ridiculous.
Dimensional portals aren't solid objects. They are openings between dimensions that allow matter to pass thru them from one reality to the next. Your hook would pass thru the portal not attach to it.
As for the dimensional portal, it opens the dimensional portal, attaches to a floating rock (like you see in the shadow shard) and thusly you can swing.
Really, I never saw where the swingline attached in the other game, and it was never a problem.

Quote:If I could fit in the self rez into my build, I'd take it purely for concept reasons. It's really just a really lousy rez, because when I die, i'm surrounded by enemies who usually kill me as I'm still rezzing.Originally Posted by protector_knight
What would you think of having the self rez power? or is it that you would mainly die before being able to toggle back up? I mean it doesn't have a knock back/damage feature like fire, or DA's right?
Also like I said I never IO'ed my invun, or WP, so my only comparison is with SO's. I did half IO my invun, finally, in the attacks. However the only tanker I have ever completely IO'ed is my ice/electric/Pyre.
My invun is strong enough def/resist for me, that I didn't feel the need to IO his Armor's as of yet. He is collecting dust, because I honestly can't get past my bs/sd/bod scrap.
But I have seen WP scraps out class in many situations, the invun scrap. -
Quote:With Tough/Weave , CJ and the right IOs my WP tanker never felt squishie. o.OOriginally Posted by protector_knight
My concept is a natural warrior. toons name is Warrior's Mark. he was a kat/invun, but I got playing him and wanted him as a db instead.
The premise is to have a tough warrior. Which would fit best? I would be going Body mastery. I have a invun tanker, and I really do not like the difference between survival in the invun, scrap side. Even with tough/weave, cj.
Thinking WP will be fitting, because it really has no true weakness besides alpha's. I don't have to worry about getting my recharge super high to main tain the hugh HP buff in dull pain. That and WP will make it where I don't steal agro from tankers. Where invincibility is very strong agro aura.
I have had 2 WP tankers, one of which was stone melee, and even with fault, he felt kinda squshie (course that was back at AE boss farms). Then I had a lvl 43 wp/ss. My invun has SO's same as WP and invun just seems far more durable, even with SO's
But scrap side I won't have to worry bout tanking much, so I am thinking I might beable to give WP a fair shake.
I am not looking for arguement, and I am not asking which would be more fun, cuz honestly, fun is a matter of perception in a indvidual. Would just like a show of votes really.
Thanks.
And Happy new years forum goers.
That said, if you're looking for something different, then I say go with /WP. It's perfect for Dual Blades, as you have 1 clickie power, that when set, will be a (imo) worthwhile power to have, but not used often. -

You do need to attach those lines on something closer than the moon and denser than the clouds, however.
Attached swingline to a low flying hero/villain/plane/jet/rikti bombship/arachnos flyer that's passing by.
Tip of hook attaches to a small dimension portal that opens up when it reaches the desired length on the swingline.
I enjoyed swingline. It was fun for me.

You know, I would think, if a DM/SD is finding they are often Defense debuffed on an ITF (it can happen to Shields and SRs), it MIGHT be worthwhile to slot the NERVE boost for a little added to defense will make a difference. I think it would depend on the build if the Spiritual is of more use.
I've skipped Cardiac on my DB/WP as I find it's just not useful, however, I've switched between Nerve and Spiritual. -
Who said it has to be limited to where one can use it? o.O
Super Jumpers manage to super jump from swimming in water, and with nothing to put any force behind, they really shouldn't be super jumping, should they?
So saying it's limited to only certain areas, would be silly. -
We NEED them as a travel power!
If not something like Ninja Run, where it's purchased in a pack or as it's own little pay 2.99 get it as a NON TEMP power (so you don't lose it on the Master Runs )
If put as a new power pool...could possibly go...
Tier 1 - Swing Line
Tier 2 - Minor-Moderate (think somewhere around other Power Pool Attacks) Damage Ranged Attack possibly with knockdown
Tier 3 - Immobilize Attack
Tier 4 - Hold Attack
This is just quick ideas on additional uses to put into the pull. And I put the actual Travel power first, as it gives EVERYONE the ability to grab the travel power at level 6 (as a longtime VET I already have this option...so moving it to tier 2 really wouldn't bother me) as I always thought the travel powers should be first, and learning to use the other powers in the pool in combat should be next. -
