    Very interesting...I shall have to add this into my calculations..thanks!

    Jeez..you both make very convincing arguments...truth be told, I just wanna kill things fast :P. Im sure I will kill some types faster than others but overall I want to be a death machine.

    Considering that Hot Feet has a larger radius, does more damage and has a form of control thats allows me to blast away with less concern, I am inclined to take it over BA. I just hope that the end drain doesn't discount all of the above

    Also, I will also look into that alternative slotting for HF...im only losing 1.88 defense so it *may* be worth the other bonuses...depending..

    Also, if you're going to frankenslot Hot Feet, remember to slot Microfilaments.
    Do those enhance slows? Because mids says that its End/Movement.

    Ohhh that dervish...I thought it was a class in another game or something lol..

    Quote:

    Hot Feet, in those terms, blows. It's not the Damage per end that makes me dislike the power though, it's the fact that it causes an avoid-scatter effect. Some people say that running enemies aren't shooting, and while true, running enemies ruin MY shooting. I like tightly packed little mobs where it's Breath/Ball/Circle, Next!
    I don't like mob scatter on my AoE either! Wont the damage kill them before they get a chance to run out of the radius?

    Inferno, however, should be a staple for large-group play.
    I have a separate build for teams.

    Thanks for your input!

    Having a 50 Dark defender and I can tell you first hand that Dark Miasma is a master debuffer. Dark Miasma has a player focused PBAoE heal that rival's Transfusion (Kin's heal) for the best team heal in the game. Just about every power gives -to hit so the enemies will have a very hard time hitting you and your team.

    The "rez" that comes wit the set is actually a MASSIVE Targetted AoE debuff that just happens to resurrect EVERY dead ally in a 15' radius from you at once! Use it liberally on difficult targets whenever its up.

    Dark Servant is one of the most well behaved pets outside of MMs (and even then...>.>) and it adds to your heals and debuffs.

    I have an Ice Corruptor as well and while im not really a fan of ice, I can tell you that I can see tar patch and Ice Storm meshing very well with each other. Ice's slows coupled with Dark's slows and other debuffs should (in theory) make a very desirable teammate.

It'll be hard to make a Whirling Dervish in this game but with defender or controller buffs that would be a likely result.
    Im looking for this toon to be as independant as possible. More or less I want him to be "farm grade" in the sense that he will be able to take on 2x6 maps solo

    Also, what is a Whirling Dervish? o.o

    If you prefer one of these latter builds, I'd recommend either slotting Hot Feet to be near the ED damage cap or dropping it out for something else. You don't spend that much endurance for a slow aura, IMO.

    Interesting...I slotted it for the ranged set bonus but i'm glad you said something because I wasnt sure about it.

    What is it that you prefer in the other build? the S/L/Melee defence over Ranged?

    What attracted me to this Blaster in the first place is its low mortality rate in exchange for high damage in mass.

    Not that he's been 50 for a few years im looking to try a new avenue where he actually lives longer so he can cause more destruction than he could previously.

    Viable in what way? What are you aiming for?

    Thanks for reminding me I forgot to add a stealth in sprint hehe..

    The thing is, I would like to be just about soft capped without any inspirations because I dont wanna be stuck if I dont have any on me.

    If im not soft capped or within a few points, I need to at least have some resistance because I will get hit...a lot. Hehe...

    But im looking into ur revision and see what I can pick at from it hehe.

    Now that I think about it...maybe I should go with the Flame epic build...........

    Ok guys,

    I made 2 new builds based on the advice that both of you gave me. I was able to almost aoft cap range and get some decent bonuses in each build. The main difference between each build is the APP. One is Flame Mastery and one is Cold Mastery

    The one with Cold has decent defense in multiple types and has a heal in hoarfrost that can soft cap my HP as well as Hibernate.

    Flame has no heal however has 40% resistance to S/L and a rez that can almost replace Inferno :P.

    Which one looks better to you?

    This is with Flame Mastery:

    True, but I was referring to his willingness to learn in the first place. A lot of new player I come across feel like they know it all already and nothing to gain from listening to the liked of us Vets :P

    Then they proceed to "Leeroy Jenkins" through the entire mish

    What about Traps/Archery?

    I'm under the impression that it would make a great combo...

    I tend to run from spawn to spawn fast. I will dive into spawns while low on health. I combine and use inspires on the run. I am constantly switching targets.
    Nice, thats about my playstyle as well (Although, I probably die a little more than you :P)...Im a bit ADD when it comes to kills. Thats why I prefer AoEs. I like to rip a mob and move on instead of spending time ST'ing everything =D

    Thanks Nemu_! I will also take this into consideration!

    I would not like how it uses endurance so fast. Even dropping BA, it is still a concern. I do play a bit faster than most people though, so you may not notice that. Do you have the passive accolades (The Atlas Medallion and Portal Jockey, specifically)? You would have to leverage Hibernate and Consume very well in order to keep your blue bar up; I think the build could work since you have both, but I would not enjoy how often I would need to be looking to use one of those two powers (and blues).
    I don't have any Accolades on him...yet. But I will..What do you mean by "play faster"?

    I understand why you say I will have end issues...Is there a way that you could make this build better? Or would I need like a billion inf?

    Good enough as in it will be effective, or I'll still have some issues?

    Quote:
    Drop Blazing Aura.
    Ive never used it, so that doesnt bother me. However, will I still pump out enough AoE damage to keep me alive without it?

    Quote:
    Slot Ring of Fire (as an attack). If you take Inferno, it may be harder to move slots out of that and into Ring, but if you take Combat Jumping, then you have 5 slots you can move around. Ring of Fire is a good attack and the immobilize is often very useful too.
    I thought about taking inferno as an "Oh S***" button...but I would rather steam roll through without havin to stop and retoggle everything (minor detail but oh well :P)

    Now, I currently have RoF slotted as an attack in my normal build so I know it does decent damage...My Question is, are my ST blast not enough to pick up the stragglers after the AoE are dished out?

    Or maybe its good to have slotted up for in case I get mezzed...

    What are you thoughts?

    Hello all,

    Im looking to transform my main into Death Incarnate. I would like for him to capable of wiping the floor with anything in his path. Essentially, I would like for him to be able to take on the masses with as little danger as possible

    The following build is a far far cry from his normal and current one. This one used a lot more /Fire powers than I normally use (Burn, Hot Feet and BA specifically) so I would like to know if they are worth taking in the first place.

    I am not rich, but I will find some way to make enough to pay for this. He's my first 50, he deserves it .

    I tried to get as much S/L and Melee defense as possible as I should be spending a considerable amount of tiime there..

    Please give me your honest opinion as this build is set in clay, not stone

    This was a very enjoyable read. I love the way you added comic infusion with hard data and stats so that we could more easily understand the dreaded "hard numbers" :P

    Im actually gonna respec my main to become a walking AoE destructor and I stumbled accors this piece of art.

    Oh, and I somewhat get the essence of the game as I have a high level Blaster already, but I messed it up a bit but wasn't too hard to fix as my friend made me use my alt build to fix what I messed up and helped my Blaster be better (As I taken Hover and Fly... not knowing Hover was very slow and somewhat useless after getting fly) and then taking superspeed and teleport all with Fly.
    Lol.

    Ok first of all, welcome to the game!

    Secondly, if your stuck on choosing Dual Blades (DB) then thats cool, feel free to choose what appeals to you. My first every toon was a Claws/Regen (Lol Wolverine reject :P)

    As far as secondary's go I can explain a little bit about WP (willpower) and SR (super reflexes)

    Willpower:

    Resistance to Smashing/Lethal (the most common forms of damage in the game. Most attacks have some component of either of them) and Psionics. Resistance means what ever damage you recieve will be decreased depending on the % of resistance you have.

    Defense to Energy/Negative Energy/Fire/Cold. Defense means that you have a percentage of not getting hit by the attack at all. The difference with defense and resistance is that if/when you do get hit by an attack on a defense-based toon, you will take full damage.

    Willpower also specializes in regeneration, so that with powers like Fast Healing and Rise to the Challenge, you regain yoru health very quickly.

    Willpower does not have a heal directly like the Regeneration power set (Heals are different than regeneration) but with proper defense and resistance, you wont miss it.

    Quick Recovery is end recovery jewel that, depending on the end usage of DB, can allow you to skip stamina all together.

    Super Reflexes:

    Provides Defense to the 3 positionals: Melee, Ranged and AoE (Area of Effect)

    With SR its fairly easy to get the max defense possible and only get hit about 5% of the time. Positional defense offers a better defense than Types defense (Smahsing, lethal etc) because all attacks in the game fall into melee (close combat) ranged (far away) or AoE (multiple target attack). In this respec SR has them covered.

    Quickness increases your recharge, resistance to slows and your run and flight speed.

    The thing about SR is that like willpower, it has no direct heal built in so with defense, if you take a hit and its a heavy one, your gonna have to rely on inspirations or teamates to keep you alive. Thats nothing that aid self cant fix though...and SR doesn't get hit NEARLY as often as others do...


    No matter what, use this website : Paragonwiki.com

    and also I would suggest you get mids hero builder to help you pre-plan your toons.

    Quote:
    The reason I'm asking help making a Dual Blade / Willpower (or something) is I somewhat don't want to make a very bad build again
    Every toon that you make is a learning experience. A good build today can be terrible tomorrow. Its up to you, as the player to decide what works for you. Even if it's not the FotM (Flavor of the Month). Don't ever be scared to make a toon because you think it's gonna be bad because you never know, it may become your favorite!

    Good luck, have fun!
