No, its not.

Any one character can hold a maximum of 2 billion inf at any given time.

AA = 30% chance for mag 3 confusion
WoC = Mag 2 confusion, 20% chance for mag 1 confusion
Contagious confusion = 33% chance for mag 3 confusion

The mag isn't bad, its more about the unpredictability that those chances actually go off, that makes it ice slick better soft control. However unlike ice slick, the confuses can be used with frostbite.

Good luck with your SG, not inviting certain people is the first step in making a great SG

Wrong. In fact you should never have taken Total Focus in the first place unless your only goal is to look pretty doing cool animations.

Energy Punch+Bonesmasher > Total Focus



Numbers: (assuming 99.08 dmg slotting)

Energy Punch

0.83 sec activation
110.7 smashing dmg
106.3 energy dmg
217 total dmg

Bone Smasher

1.5 sec activation
201.5 Smashing dmg
86.4 Energy dmg
287.9 Total dmg

Total Focus

3.3 sec activation
110.7 smashing dmg
283.4 Energy dmg
394.1 Total dmg

Using both energy punch and bone smasher deals out 504.9 damage, 110 more dmg than total focus in 70% (1 second) of the time it takes you to use total focus

While you're doing 90.7 less energy damage using EP+BS compared to total focus, you're doing 201.5 MORE smashing damage than total focus. If any enemy had so much more smashing resistance than energy resistance, enough for it to come out even, EP+BS would still be taking less time to cast, and you could even follow up with your tier 1 blast in the same amount of time it would take for you to use total focus.





Don't take Total Focus, big numbers aren't everything.

This is good slotting.

As said, the 3 sec activation time gives it moderate balance, it can get a kill here and there, but it's no AS.

I actually use Power Push for the higher KB mag (44ish vs 35ish) since anyone who knows to slot for at least 35 mag kb protection are the people who will give me trouble most likely, and then slot levitate for damage.

Make sure you take Mezmerize, and use it. 100 ft range, hits through positionals, placates, and deals good damage. I probably get more kills with it than I do with total focus.

I prefer mace over leviathan, the difference in performance when I switched was really huge.

Poisonous Ray gives you -def (powerboostable) and -res (-18% or 38% if achilles goes off) and does very good damage on its own.

The shield is decent, and you can slot some good things in it being defense based.

PFF, for me, saved me more than hibernate, since after you come out of hibernate you're just one big target. PFF also makes dueling therms alot easier since it can deflect HE sometimes.

The Tarantula's webnades have screwed over alot of people

Dread Shinobi likes this.

2 acc/dmg hamis is all the "guarteed functuality" you need. The Procs do the rest.

Also, actual slotting > set bonuses, in certain cases such as this.

It's something you just need to try for yourself, I've used that slotting on both a defender and corr, and the results dont lie.

4 sec base is still really low.

Shield Breaker Dmg Proc
Lady Grey Dmg Proc
Apocalypse Dmg Proc
Achilles Heel Res Debuff Proc
2 acc/dmg Hamis

Mine will have a 1.72 rchg time, and it will still be the one of the best single target proccing power in the game, second only to its defender/corrupter counterparts.

And one that won't be knocking them all over the place.

2 quick things to note:
If you're using a patron pet on a stalker youre doing it wrong (they give away your location).
And, you're forgetting the one nice perk of Mace Mastery (-jump)

However you're right about them needing to buff moar, and nerf less.

Yes, please.

I so called it.

Yes.

Auto Power
12.5% +recov
20% +regen

Can slot both endmod and heal sets.
