To you, the number-crunching-elders that roams here, what you guys think about the alpha slot in regard to the actually poor Regen powerset state ?
-
Gavin, care to share your Elec slotting via mids please ? i've just made a post where i cite my claws/elec problems and it would greatly help me to see how i can reach 38% to melee without gimping myself in other areas
-
I did not took time to check the builds you offered yet but i'll do just after having writing this, how much i'm impressed with the care some of you guys are sharing such wise experiences. CoX has one great community. I feel warm inside
No doubt your suggestions will prove to be useful. I'll surely respec Naga Lord (claws/elec) tonight to great effect, i got some inf left to adjust, and certainly more juice to try harder to succeed with the toon. I can be so defeatist sometimes...
And, Obitus you're amazing, you've just put words on something i've been feeling since so long (14 years of mmorpg) : the "power-gamer's paralysis" !! i wish i could have paid you beer and have a good chat with ya ! and thx for the compliment on my english
Sincere thanks to you guys
Let the brainstorm begins now... -
lol, amusingly i love focus and i've made myself known to find sense off absurd things

Hi,
I'm french and i play on Vigilance (sigh at servers/community ).
Looking for some thoughts on my identity crisis. I'm on the verge of stripping my claws/elec of all his IO's cause i invested all my money on him and i regret that. But doing so is fastidious as it imply doing quiet a few respec trials or having kept vet respec and then some (eventually buying respec on NC shop).
Some of those costly IOs (couples LotG, Numina's/steadfast/Miracle...etc) come from an already striped down toon, my once highest char, a lvl44 SS/SD brute that i hate, cause i found out that i couldn't stand the Rage crash. Add to that Hasten crash, and, well *puke* I respecced him to grab the Energy mastery Pool and that solved some of my end probs, but even then i told myself that SD was better on a scrapper anyway (dam cap) and i already focused my hope on something else.
That's when Elec Armor comes into play. I thought that Elec, with heavy IO investment too, could be the all around soloing beast (including AV) i needed. As anyone should know layered defense is king, so i thought that a set with no glaring hole in resists, very good debuffs protection, end drain,20% recharge passive and a self heal, could benefit the most from +def IO set and +rechg. Add to that sapping potency and i told myself "you're golden".
At this point you should take a look at my build :
Code:Now. As you can see its not cheap build even if there's no purples (hum, well, I think it's not cheap.) The Force feedback in Shockwave is pretty obvious but you may wonder about the one in focus. Well you don't want to spam shockwave against AVs solo fight and need all the recharge you can get to have Energize up as soon as possible so...| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1325;675;1350;HEX;| |78DA9593D96F125114C6CF0023652B50A474A10BD84A37687C7349346ADB445B94D| |AB8448D84D0DB8241DACC8C51DF7CF1AD6B62E283FA645C5FDD127D3271FB9FB48E| |67B9251A9F9C84EFC7FD3873EE77983BC5DB536180BBC7C0089D6C546CBB7CC2BAE| |928B35859AE57C10F007136CA45D550AA8025B7ECB438536A49356D55986EA8AA63| |D5ABE5E3D68D152B7EAA5953966A3A85DD2FE1D2CA4AA33053779ACAB683BC58585| |56A51FC395559AD379723BA68B9E6E0AA637AB55E2D4C572CA7562E566C475977BA| |30CA287EAA11D097EB8512220B9E79C139866F81F1844A0C5D97C52F39D8D32F186| |0B465188B115D06AECF907E6DD22F28FD82D22FFCC9039080A7B8F0EAB65E69DB2E| |6DDBA56D4CDA2A6C6B4A5BD3042FC00188B91E42C70FC14FC6DE1DC12FC612DEE5E| |738AEE997306109D329613A254CD7430E33F688F10CBD80CE14904C5D92A94732F5| |4826131F6748EA209407DAD08F56442C4FE4824156FA34178F1D45F4C173FC292A0| |5BE688AADBC6C91972D26658B49D9A28603C4A5DC8C6F73D6F43AA37F43B029D862| |0CDEE3B1DB304542074B3C60EB052E92DA4A4AD62C56A574D6D4385B837FA1130BB| |AA5C0E8DE01CA9A49F24C2F71D1AB1F726F89AD89B382594191913FC348F9E95E69| |D4D7CB0F2FD3CDB88EF30DE8F906DEF3AE99D78C7D6F046F05EF184332DF2B1E561| |E6B769BADA135C13A63FF966053B0C13030C5B03EE9C37218727218727218727218| |EE63B2113DDCC8771E60F4333FA9D12FB2FACA18FBC6F062DB71FDCF8E4F704CB77| |5A57DADB70BD886B97F9C92AFF5C680C1CE8CAFF5AEB98118D07107F8A3EB7F5E1F| |C2BB5B06E683A80B24E7492E925C22B94C7285E42AC935923289FBB17577F420E53| |A447298E4084912F3C11A55FA43282192304984A49D244A12234990F4903C26717F| |03C574F1AC| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Now here's a breakdown of my thoughts :
- Painfully realized that sapping is only good in situations where no decent meleers should need it, cause we already mitigate more than any other AT's baring Tankers. That's why i don't really know where to put Lightning field as you may have noticed (got enough AoE damage with Spin/Shockwave at that recharge level - thanks Ffeedback)
- I wanted to solo anything (well, except +4/x8). Uh, uh, uh :
Positron told me to get the **** out with my poor dps
Aurora Borealis and Countess Crey went trough my 42% psi res + 37sec Energize like nobody's business
- I saw a good overall primary to complement Energize in Claws even if i knew about Lethal type lagging a bit behind, but in the end the set bores me. Well, apart from spamming Shockwave all around (wich condemn me to play solo by the way ). That, you can't do nothing about i know, but it adds to my identity crisis.
- Rememberd far too late that 30% S/L def is anecdotical at most with zero DDR in Elec, even though it cost so much money.
- I know the taking Soul would have made me more sturdy with Darkest Night, but i wanted to do something different and don't wanted to deal with the redraw caused by dark obliteration. That could be the key though...
So... i've put him on the shelf. Even if he's not bad, its not the secret weapon i initially thought.
Now, i recently been playing a MA/Regen scrapper (lvl 27 ATM) that i'm having lot more fun than with the toon above aaaand was wondering if i could expect far better than elec in terms of soloing capabilities with the kind of IO investment seen in the build above.
I also started the old classic DM/SR scrapper (lvl 26) wich feel utterly promising but less fun than MA/Regen.
Additionnally, i plan to build a SM/Fire brute when i19 goes live for the "all out offense firework style/ don't care to die / Rise of the phoenix" department, with reduced hopes of doing anything crazy. Just pure fun.
So what do you think ? I want to have fun AND solo quiet anything
Can claws/elec do it with a better build of yours ? Should i ditch him and focus
on one of the three possibilities above ? And can i REALLY expect about those three, especially the MA/Regen which the one with wich i'm having the more fun but hearing lot of negatives about Regen ?
Thanks alot for the reading and upcoming suggestions if have any !
