But more Defense Buff is almost always a good thing, and while one individual Maneuvers isn't that great, they add up fast on teams. You probably don't need to run it while solo, though.

For powers when exemplaring, you get to keep them as if you were 5 levels higher. So, for Posi I, you should have access to powers up to level 20.

Procs in any power with a continuous effect (toggles or auto powers) will pulse once every 10 seconds, independent of how often the actual power itself pulses.

Rain powers are pets and their damage is caused by Auto powers. Rain of Fire, for example, uses an Auto power that pulses every 0.2 seconds to cause it's damage, but any proc slotted in to Rain of Fire will still only have a chance to go off every 10 seconds.

Well as the build goes, it achieves nothing special even in the attacks and the thermal part might as well not be slotted . If there's anything this build stands out is that it costs 50 billion or so.

Lockdown is a Hold set, so the proc is tied to whatever kind of power the Distortion Field pet has that causes the Hold (though, for clarity, the Hold and Slow occur in the same power used by the Distortion Field pet*), but the chance for the proc to go off is not dependent on the effects occurring. How often the proc goes off depends on whether it's an auto power, a toggle, or a click.

Distortion Field's Hold is caused by an auto power that tics every 1 second, so Lockdown's proc should go off every 10 seconds.


*When it comes to powers that summon two pets or a pet with multiple powers, proc effects would only go off with whichever power being used was the same type as the set.

For example, if you slotted a Posi's Chance for Energy Damage in to Oil Slick Arrow, the actual Oil pet that causes the Slow and Knockdown chance would never proc the Energy Damage. It would only proc with the Fire pet, because Posi is a damage set, and only the Fire pet causes damage.

2) XP gains reduced to 0% after level 10.

I think the second would probably be a better choice, since the max level one can use powers from is 10.

EDIT: The reason I post this is because there is virtually no reason to run DFB above level 10 aside from badges, providing one hasn't already gotten all of them. Also I'm tired of the constant spam. :/

It's a relatively recent development, because it used to be the case that brutes didn't exist at all and three quarters of scrapper sets lacked taunt auras. Plenty of people played scrappers back then! Indeed, in the game today there seems to be no special bias among the unwashed masses against tauntless sets. Why, then, the guaranteed hostility to the concept on the forums?

I find myself eating a bunch of different inspirations to stay alive. I have several other non scrapper builds like AR Traps, Robot Traps, DP Traps, Several Blasters that I find more survivability with atm. I am incarnate slotted for level bump but do not have all the incarnates yet. Currently T3 Musculature. I am guessing a heal would be nice since I have none atm.

But I figured I would put it out here to see if someone can think of something I might not be seeing. Nutshell this is a build I seen someone else post and I reworked it to kick up my regeneration up another 100% from 190 to 290. It might be faster then my other builds I mentioned but I need to really keep on top of what inspirations I have on hand. Where as the other builds to be honest I don't even use most of the time.

Ditch Fire Breath for AS and the damage aura for Hide.
