IIRC, enemies get a 10% bonus to hit you for every level they are above you. Lieutenants get 5%, and I think it goes 5% more for every rank above, making AVs have roughly +20. So a +4 AV has about a 110% ToHit a level 50 hero. If you only have 45% Def ("Softcap") they'll still have a 65% chance to hit you- roughly the same chance an elite boss has to hit a same level hero.
More def is still effective, you just need that much more of it.
Most times, this means relying on your team. If you get to about 75% Def, you're doing OK for almost anything the game throws at you.
They don't get a to-hit bonus till they are +6(I think),they just get a Accuracy bonus for being a AV or a lieutenant. A level 54 AV will have something like a 11% chance to hit you if your defense is 45% or if it is 75%, that is why 45% is the Soft cap. -
I have both Fire/Shield and Elec/Shield at 50, I like my Fire/Shield a lot better. Elec/Shields is okay but when it comes to bosses it can take a while, which I like to fight when soloing. I had a lot smoother experience leveling my Fire/Shield because of the ST DPS.
-
If you don't need the end I would take it to just get some set bonuses, and as Ironblade said an emergency AoE attack.
I took it with my Wp/DM tank and 4 slotted it with Eradication. I don't use it a lot so I just put the 4 cheapest ones in. The set bonuses that you get are just great for a Wp. -
Well the solo DPS is good at low levels. You get Quick Strike, Body Blow and Smashing Blow early and they make a good attack chain all the way to level 32 when you get Concentrated Strike. Power Siphon doesn't have that long of a recharge, with 2 SO in down to almost a minute. So you can do so good damage early on.
I'm not to big of a fan of the AoE, one reason I like to hit build up and then use the AoE. That really doesn't work with KM because of how PS works. If you solo it not that big of a deal because do group won't be dead before you use your AoE.
As I said I love Shields and the damage buff and SC does help a lot. If you're looking for more damage then shields is the way to go. -
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. -

Rebuild...
Get with the times
Titan Sentinel lets you export your builds to mids. So you don't need to rebuild them anymore
linky to all the cool stuff it can do. -
Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to the Game!!!
For new players I like to recommend a Katana/Willpower Scrapper. You have Divine Avalanche, which gives +defense which is very nice, that makes Willpower a very tough Secondary. Willpower doesn't take a lot do know to play right. A Katana/Willpower is very sold Scrapper and easy to play. -
yes, but it is only during the day.

Welcome Back!
Quote:Most people are playing the new end game that came out with I19, so there won't be a lot of sewer teams going on now. Also a lot of people are making new Alts in Praetoria, a new starting zone levels 1-20.Originally Posted by Mofeta
Most importantly - where is everyone? I enter Atlas Park and it is dead. Not 'kind of quiet' dead, but 'not even people spamming for contests or sewer team' dead. Am I in the wrong zone, or is my 'home' server (Pinnacle) just dead?
Join a Pinnacle Global channel and you will see a lot of people still play. Go ask on the Pinnacle forums which ones are the best to join. -
Without seeing your build I can't really say what you should go for. Damage and Accuracy are always good to go for. If you don't have good Accuracy and To hit go for Accuracy but if you do then go for more Damage.
-
Looking at it, your Melee defense should be 48.8 in game. If your melee defense was higher in game then it was something in game that was making it higher. It could be a Temp power, like a Mystic Fortune buff. It could also be someone had a +defense power and was around you. Look back later and if your defense is still high I don't know what to tell you.

I don't like this either, ut is really annoying. The first time it said I couldn't invite player and had to wait made me think really? Did they really need to do this?
-
I would love to have this QoL feature.

What makes dark so end heavy is the Heal, it is something like 33 end. So slotting that with end is a must. Now I know you didn't want to get in to some IO but Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance in Dark Regeneration can help a lot.
When you start to get more slots into your attacks your endurance will be better. It looks like you're doing everything you can with just SO so if you really want to help your blue bar you will need to get some IOs, like Numina's and Miracle +Recovery. -

5 stars: Real life friends, SG officers, and other especially helpful people.
4 stars: SG-mates, and other players who have been generally helpful and friendly toward me.
3 stars: Players I've been on a pick-up group with, but didn't really stand out one way or the other. This is the only rank for which I don't include a note explaining what warrants the rank, since it is my default.
2 stars: Players who do things that, while generally inconsiderate and annoying, are not things that violate any actual game rules.
1 star: Those who have commited petition-worthy offenses such as griefers, trolls, RMT spammers, cyberstalkers, and people who spew threats and abuse.

I don't know a lot about Dark but a lot of people put in Theft of Essence:Chance for +Endurance into Dark regeneration. It helps a lot. The Performance Shifter proc is always good to slot.
The Achilles' Heel: Chance for Res debuff is good to put into Gambler's Cut or Sting of the Wasp depending on which one you took. -
Regen would benefit the greatest from spiritual.

Claws/Fire?! How would that be an AoE death machine? Last I remember Claws was very efficient in Single Target, but not so much in AoE (I'm not being snarky/sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious!).
Claws as 3 AoE attacks.
Spin-which does about the same amount of damage as FS, it just as a Radius of 8 ft but it recharges faster.
Shockwave-which is a 90 degree arc with a range of 30 ft. It does good damage, only thing is it does a lot of KB
Eviscerate-is a 90 degree arc but only a Range of 7 ft. It does more damage than Spin and Shockwave. With the short range it is harder to get the max targets.
Hope that helps -
Quote:Sometimes you're not trying to get to fifty fast. It took me two weeks to get to fifty on my Widow. I wasn't trying to get fifty as fast as I could. It just happen because I love playing the toon so much.Originally Posted by Lycanus
I have never understood the urge to rush to the point at which there is no longer any advancement to be done
granted, we're at a point now where hitting 50 is no longer the end of the character, but still...why get to fifty fast?
My first fifty took me about 8 months to get. I hit fifty in November of 07 and didn't get my next 50 till September of 08.
It doesn't take me long now to get a toon to fifty if I like it. my next fifty will be a Tank and it will take me only a month to get to fifty. I just love to play it and most of the time I log in I want to play it. Also I have a great build plan for it, so it gives me a goal to get to fifty. -
I going to say one that hasn't been said yet. A Claws/Fire brute.
You got burn, Blazing Aura, Spin, Eviscerate, Shockwave. Also you can get BL too. To me for AoE redraw is not that big of a deal. And Spin is just crazy good. -
For me it is Shields. I have all the primary that pairs with Shields at 50 with Scrappers but KM, it is only at 32 right now. I also have two Shields brutes, SS/SD and Elec/SD.
I love AAO and Shields Charge! I like to min/max toons too, so Shields is great for that. -
