    Already took spiritual, although that poses a question of it's own. Do Regen's go for 45% Recharge and 33% healing or the other with all 33% and the 20% to Hit?

    This is my SS/FA build, and I was just wondering if it's a good build or not. I really wanted Vengance in there, but just couldn't swing it. Suggestions, comments, concerns, improvements all welcome, thanks.

    I'm DB/Regen...I had to take leadership pool to get close to softcap sm/lethal def. I wonder which would benefit me more the Vengenace with another Global recharege, or Revive...I know Veng. would be aweseome on teams, and that extra global = very nice. With saying all that, if I am soloing an AV mish, and get to AV and then die, I'd like to be able to Revive and jump back into the fight. Not even sure if that is plausabile with REvive as I have never used it vs an AV. Unless, I take a friend into mish with me then have them die/cast veng. and them leave..that could be somewhat useful as well. Just not sure which is the better choice for now.
  4. Ghost_Ripper
    Why does Psy suck so bad, thought it was the Roxxorz in PvP.
  5. Ghost_Ripper
    The final power is between Vengenance for the final global Recharge...which only brings my Hasten down to 124.9 and w/out it'd be around 127. It'd be nice to have Vengeance for the global and when on teams; however, the toon I built is for soloing AV's and doing things solo, so I thought Revive would be a better choice as final power. Anyone care to weigh in on my issue, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
  6. Ghost_Ripper
    Can heroes that go villian get the Demonic badge and accolade power? If yes, then do you get to keep it if you go back to being a hero or vigilante?
  7. Ghost_Ripper
    oK, NOT asking for someone to make the build for me, just point me in a direction of someone elses Psy/Elec Melee build. If this is a dumb conept please tell me. I was thinking of the synergy between -recharge, and -end...would be intresting and frustrating to PvP'ers. Not sure how viable that in PvE...but w/e...I just want to try it out. Anyone have experience playing this build; suggestions, comments, concerns all welcome.

    Big thanks to the community!

    Thanks all great info, much appreciated.

    Ok...how about Secondaries?
    I was looking at WP, SR, Inv...already have a Regen. I'm going to go with Scrapper...and add in the villian Shmeld. I'm not locked into any of those, just ones I though of; suggestions?

At least Regen offer consistent mitigation against one opponent or ten+.

    IMHO, if it's soloing AVs you want, Shield or even SR might be better.
    Yeah I should have picked a diffrent secondary for this character, but the damage is done, now. So... untill they allow for a coplete revamp of powers through respec...i.e. picking another power class, I'm stuck with these powers. I really don't want to remake and go through all the crap to get all the accolades again.

I know it seems like a waste since Boxing isn't a power you'll probably ever use, but the defense it gives puts your a little over 32.5%, which means you can softcap that defense with a Luck. The biggest loss is the BU proc, but I would actually add that to BF, instead of that Mako proc. I've been using the BU proc in Follow Up on my night widow and it fires off more often than I've ever seen with it slotted in Tactics.

    Big thanks to Infini!

    With that I did some minor modifications to keep my character with his dmg in comparable range, and added back the 2 -res debuffs for AV's. What do y'all think?

    Why Typed? I thought that postional was always what people wanted for defense (*I have been gone awhile). I remeber people used to say how carpy Energy was for a defense set b/c it was all typed. Did something change?

You appear to have chased hit point bonuses, which do you no good much of the time since you have perma Dull Pain and it puts your hit points way over the cap. You're also over the rule of five on 1.874% hit point bonuses. I'm not sure if you chased regeneration bonuses or just picked them up as side effects, but they're not very useful comparatively, and you should be shooting for typed defense instead where possible.

    You mentioned DPS earlier, and on your budget, you're going to be stuck with the moderate recharge chain, which you seem to have figured out: Blinding Feint -> Ablating Strike -> Vengeful Slice -> Sweeping Strike. Fortunately, it's a good chain.

    I recommend Soul Mastery to get Shadow Meld over Body Mastery for Physical Perfection. The regeneration and recovery from Physical Perfection just aren't all that great for a Regen. On demand huge defense should be more valuable.

    You should have at least something in Health or Stamina, even if you decide not to slot them. Physical perfection is weaker than either, so any slots there should likely move to Health or Stamina if they aren't used elsewhere.
    Do you have something I can look at for getting defense? Everything I was putting in severly hamppers my DMG output and Recharge.

    Comments on this build for improvment or could this be enough to deal with AV's?
  17. Ghost_Ripper
    What is the best Defensive capability for Scrappers? Stalkers? Brutes? and finally Tanks?
    Give in TOP 3 format; i.e.

    Scrapper:
    1.Regen
    2.WP
    3.Dark Armor

    I know these aren't right, which is why I'm asking...I don't know anything...just was giving an example for format purposes, thanks.

    Not many people here can offer advice on PvP builds. Try the PvP forums.

    For a PvE build, you either need a ton of defense or a ton of recharge so you can use your heals, Moment of Glory, and Shadow Meld more often. The second option gives you better offense but can be extremely expensive. I would suggest that you just make a new character, like Willpower. If that sounds like something you don't want to do, look for regeneration builds and adapt them to fit Dual Blades.
    So, do most ppl agree that I should scrap my DB/Regen and go for a DB/WP...for Soloing AV's, or is Regen viable?
  19. Ghost_Ripper
    Hey Werner long time no see. Well, what is the best a DB can get up to for DPS? What's the chain and do you have a build for a DB/whatever, I can kind of model on. How do you get a Regen up to high levels of Def?
  20. Ghost_Ripper
    I've been away since i20 was about to come out. I made it back today, and did the Alpha slot missions. I was wondering, did Regen get another debuff/nerf. Or do I just remeber it being better than it is now? At any rate, I couldn't even solo the EB and had to get help with Trapdoor...lame. So what is the best way to improve a DB/Regen and which Alpha is the best for a regen. I started down the path of Soling AV's with my DB/Regen; however, it got way to grindy feeling to finish and thus have not finished my build. Since that time, I have lost all my builds and do not recall a where to find a good one for soloing AV's or PvP. If anyone is willing to help and Old N--b out, I'd be much appreciative. So, here are the Basics:

    1. Have just under 400 mil to work with.
    2. Have opended Alpha slot; however, nothing to go in, and don't really have any slavage to build stuff for it either? (What's best way to get the Alpha stuff as well?)
    3. What are the best Alpha slots for a DB/Regen?
    4. What are the best other slots for a DB/Regen? (Lore, Judgement, etc..)
    5. Best build for Soling AV's DB/Regen including the Alpha and other slots?
    6. Best build for PvP DB/Regen including the Alpha and other slots?
    7. If anyone really wants to take the time, and this is fun for them to do...what would be the Best of the Best build, money is no concern, a middle of the road, and the cheapest w/best results? Also, Is there a way to combine the AV soloing w/a PvP build?

    That's it and thanks for your help, I know there are great minds in this community that can and will help, please no flaming and respect others opinions even if you don't agree. Thanks to all.
  21. Ghost_Ripper
    Can we please get a Powers Request thread, or at least another vote on what the next power sets should be. I'm tired of getting what Your Development team thinks would be cool, I'd like to empower the ppl with choice. Which this is a good segway into, what the HE Double LL happend with Psy weapons and Psy fisticuffs. During the votes for new powersets this was the second most requested power set. So......................Where Is IT? Everytime I quit this game I ask for this dang powerset. I want Psionic Scrappers, Brutes, Stalkers and maybe Tanks, and Secondaries for Blasters that are Psy melee. I would love maybe even this to be the first Power set to offer a branching system. Like More Psy Weapon melee-ish or just down right put Psy energy into your FIST and ROCK some jokers. I proposed this awhile back, and the post recieved a lot of intrest. So here it is again in a more ala carte rendering.

    Psy Darts/Flechettes/Stars/Knives (Weapon Cust) You throw Telekenetic blades of force that are psionicly fused. Range Very Short, but some range, and a Wide Arc...Causing Lethal, and Psy damage. with DOT -1 ticks at end for bleeding

    Psy Knife/Dagger/ Psy Fist (Branching System Here) Psy/Smashing or Psy/Lethal dmg diffrent moves; please no reahashing already made attacks

    Psy Sword (Weapon Customizaton applies, albeit weapons in an etheral look)

    Etc... I don't want to spend all day thinking of great stuff that if ya'll use I'll never see a royalty from, so that's just a start. Anyways, you could do so much more with this power.
  22. Ghost_Ripper
    I rejoined for GR after a couple month Hiatus, and was hopeing to do some level 50 content for some Incarnate goodness, and I find out it wasn't released with GR (Thanks by the way for that by the way NCSoft...bought this GR for the Incarnate and didn't get it) I digress, so when is this Incarnate System supposed to drop?
  23. Ghost_Ripper
    Thanks for the replies for the leveling build, now does someone have that Uber build Human form. Will be used for TF's, Soloing, and farming...so maybe a Human/Dwarf form as well. Thanks for the great replies and builds.
  24. Ghost_Ripper
    What I mean is I got my first 50 back in 05 or so and have made 3 Khelds, not one over 14. I just got busy tyring out other powers, new powers that came out, and the such. Severe Altism, oh sorry forgot the introduction. Hi, my name is Ghost and I'm an Altiholic. Now that, that is out of the way. I need help actually completing my journey. I know a WS is easier to go with; but, I want to do a PB and J....no wait that's food, must be hungry...I digress, I would like to make a PB and take him to 50. Of coures I will do Tri-Forming on my journey. Once 50 I'll make a human PB as it fits with my plan for my toon. So, does anyone have a gerneric leveling build, and an awesome level 50 Human build to share and be my kheldian star in the night sky? I will ask the same for a WS now as well, same question, that way I can work on the WS if I get bored with the PB. I appreciate all advice and help given, thanks in advance. I read through some of the guides but, the last updated one was i12, so I think I'd prefer a newer take on what someone has.
