Yah i didn't see them in Civilians which was why I was hoping I had missed them.

Oh and the cimmeroan tomb maps with the water in them? any idea where these are? i've found one cimmeroan map under unique but it doesn't have the water in it.

PP is half of stamina and health in one Power. You can slot what you can put into health/stamin into Phys Perfection.

Heh this is a dream build I expect it to take me some time to build it up and get all the sets. I figured I better have a solid goal in mind as to what to aim for.

Now I did do a ton of bronze ticket rolls. Been running missions/farms for a week now to keep gathering tickets. I've gotten lucky and gotten almost a full set of performance shifters, did get a +regeneration regen recipe which I crafted and sold for 70 mil to add to my 20 mil. I've also gotten 3 +3% steadfast IO's. Kept one for myself and crafted sold the other two for about 20 mil each give or take a couple mil. On one roll for silver or gold I got a numina +rec +regen which i've saved for this build. I ended up selling a TON of junk recipes to the vendor, but then I've been running 3 characters through these missions as the fancy takes me to play one. To save money I've used tickets for salvage too (8 tickets for a 1 in 6 chance at a common you need instead of paying 100k). Probably have burned through a good 40,000 tickets on bronze rolls and salvage.

The LotG's are going to take me forever to get :/ they're running 150 mil blueside. SO I figure they'll be the very last things I can slot but I wanted to make sure I had them planned out. So far I've not even started buying sets yet with my inf. SO it is going a bit slow in amassing the money needed but it is moving forward which makes me happy.

I'm thinking I'll respec into this build and use generic IO's in everything or SOs and just start to overwrite them as I get the new sets lined up.

Now build wise:

I'm so tight on slots that I'm not sure where I'd pull a 6th slot for a couple of the other attacks. I had to aim for lotg's in the future to help the recharge of everything so that I could do without hasten. I'm hoping the dps will be good enough and the endurance drain will be low enough that I can solo some AVs.

Problem is I can't copy to test and try it out without buying all of the sets first and going broke hehehe.

Anything else you can think of that I should change or add? Sets to swap out? Slots to move around?

This I can answer for you as I have a dual blades/electric armor brute, whom by the very nature of my primary is very squishy as dual blades has no easy mitigation. 1 long activating kd, a kd that requires a 3 part chain and 1 ku thats also long activating...these tend to leave you hurting or dead when alot of damage is incoming.

Power Sink is a keystone ability of electric armor and used not only to refill your endurance bar but as damage mitigation by draining minions and lts down to about 10% of their endurance left, combine that with lightning field draining endurance and you can keep them pretty much empty. Slot for recharge and endurance mods.

Sooo I have the medicine pool and the only time I'm able to get to fire off successfully with alot of incoming damage/attacks is right after a power sink or if I manage to pull off the 3 combo kd. I have 2 interrupt reducers in it too.

Now I went on test and took Energize and 6 slotted it for health and recharge so I could fire it off roughly every 41-45 seconds or so. The up front heal is good and can't be interrupted. Healed me for about 780 or so, which is a good portion of my health. The regeneration wasn't quite as amazing but did make a difference for the next 30 seconds. So you'll end up with about 15 seconds of downtime with no small regen boost.

All in all I am going to respec out of the medicine pool to take Energize and never look back! I found myself to be less squishy on test then I did on live after adding Energize. Any set that has mitigation in its primary (easy kd, -tohit, etc..) is going to really get a lot out of Energize.

The only criticism I have of Castle's Implementation of it is that he Didn't move it down to L24 or earlier and moved something like Lighting Reflexes or Lighting Field into its place. Electric Armor needs the heal earlier for brutes. Tanks are getting it at like 12 or something, which is damn irritating for brutes.

I did get lucky on an alt and either got a performance shifter +end on a random ticket roll or from a drop from soloing. I'll be slotting that in stamina for sure. I'll have to start doing more TF's so I can get a miracle +rec and toss a miracle +heal in health.

Yeah I am actually looking at a respec to see what I can put in and what I can drop. I want to get rid of box/tough/weave and softcap with sets as a final goal. That will allow me to pick up the whirling sword, the new physical perfection which I'll 3 or 4 slot with end and a heal or a proc. As was pointed out to me in beta the problem with slotting phys perf with procs is if you exemp and lose the power which will be pretty easy to do as you can't pick it up till 44 due to being forced to choose CP or FA. I'll take CP instead of FA and look into the leadership pool for some +per, though I think I have a guassian unique IO sitting around that I could put in build up.

Question: does that unique IO work all the time or only when build up is fired? Guess I could copy to test and try it to see.

PP Does look very good, see above paragraph on it.


True I could add a kismet. I'll have to look into that too.


Thanks for the advice eveyone. I'll have to replan my build and use my alt build to start set slotting it.

You gotta love 8 merit rewards for story arcs (multi missions)! why in no time you'll have 200 for a single recipe out of a full set you need /sarcasm.

Yah the merit rewards are still far too low for the non tf/trial person. Worse redside as there are fewer tf/trials that are short. ITF is the most popular it seems.

Actually I don't run FA 95% of the time due to its enormous cost and I still have end issues.

all attacks have 2 end red in them.
all shields have 1 end red in them.
tough has 2 end red in it and is not run often at all
weave has 2 or 3 end red in it and is usually run along with the 3 other toggles in shield
stamina is 3 slotted.

and i'm still wheezing if not soloing or in a big solo fight near the end or dealing with a very tough boss / eb.

Yes seems that sets is where it's at. Just going to have to farm up a ton of inf i guess, or merits.

Miladys_Knight: Thanks for the info there, interesting stuff. I may need to frankenslot as you've shown till i can afford better full sets to get +rec and +def for softcap or close to softcap.

This part here. Bad idea. Not all banes are going to take the mace patron pools, many don't even take a patron at all.

They'd have to set it so that if you swapped to a crab build whatever costume you were in would have its back item replaced. That's it. Had wings, now you have the backpack, had a cape, now the backpack.

Conversly when you swap out of crab form you'd get your back slot item back. So you could have a bane cape on other outfits.

thanks that link will help
