Lets see we are in current times indepedence port just finished ssa1 and god look both sister psyche and statesman not only alive but also giving TF's. Yeah sound more stupid than I went back in time at a place which was destroyed later than my arrival and met with people who will die after i met them in an uncertain time.

My mian is still my kat/SR and i put wlude back for DA content with destiny it works rather well.

It has love BS can get Shield katana can't.

You can only see toxic damage procs on combat long and it indicates your degenerative blah blah does xxx toxic damage. You can't see the -max HP debuff proc on combat log or in any log you need to have power analyser power and use it on target than check its HP to see how it is procing.

True but than again in-game enhancements if they have any kind of level based parameter (like LoTG: global recharges defense enhancement) than they can be upgraded by enhacement boosters. On a toon that examplars alot SBE may look more tempting but on other hand if you stay at end game more frequently than having in-game ehancements and boosting them is far more efficient.

All procs are usable in their set level range so SBE does not bring anything new on this matter and procs doesn't change effectiveness with their crafted level so no new development in there either. Although crafting may a valid point you can always buy a crafted on from AE which brings thing down to paying with inf vs paying with money and that is all about the difference.

Hmmm you need a power or two that can have perma (or close to perma) chance to proc for each proc you are going to put in while you need intensive global recharge and maybe recharge alpha (though alpha may drop chance of proccing) and ofcourse perma hasten is a must (which means recharge enhamcenet on it aside you need at least %190 global recharge with hasten included) For melee toons I suggest energy aura or super reflexes for two reason.

First both sets comes with a recharge boost energy aura comes with an aura recharge boost that increase with each foe in the vicinity while SR cones with a flat-out %20.

Second SR comes with lots of powers you can put LoTG recharge boost and red fortune 5 pieces to get a total of %12.5 x 5 total recharge without worrying about getting a defense mule to put LoTG's or worrying about not reaching softcap. Energy Aura is similiar with 3 defense powers in the set and only requires two more which one can be weave and other can be combat jump or hover.

Other than these you will need 4 or 5 power just to mule purples for their %10 bonuses and maybe one for normal ATO set (or you may get it as purple one if you don't wanna keep it down) If you got 10 purple and normal ATO one along with SR and hasten you will have %211 global recharge alone from this build and with %45 from alpha you should have around %256 recharge on the power you put all procs.

From there you can build your toon as you like but like I said if you plan to use recharge alpha you may need to recalculate the proc chances however I doubt if you put these in a tier 9 attack on any melee set they will drop down below %50 chance.

Short answer is yes %10 decrease on max HP also means %10 less health regeneration over time.

Long answer is different however since regen is not work like in how it sounds. Regen in this game wroks like this; Regen triggers as in regen ticks and gives you back %5 of your max HP for players that does not have any other sources of regen (included inheret health) this means each regen ticks is in 12 seconds so a Player without health gains %5 of its max HP back in every 12 second. Higher regen rates increase the frequency of ticks happening while lower ones decreases. Since regen checks %5 max HP in each tick if you drop max HP by %10 in each tick regen will return %4.5 of original max HP. Howver a regen debuff of %10 means regen ticks will happen %10 slower (for example instead of 10 second it will happen in 11 seconds)

I am in a similiar standing except interface is also part of must gets. Lore and Destiny T3's only for ishift but since I am tired of itrials they are lowered in to the "whenever I feel like" position.

No they can't be slotted at any level they can be only slotted at the level range of set itself which kinda kills the SBE procs need since you can just put same sets lowest proc and have same effects. And iirc they indeed require IO license.

Only hole in your theory is hybrid is only up for 2 minute while lore pets remain for 5 minutes and some hybrids require additional conditions that needs to be met to achieve top performance (assault need to stack up with a chance to trigger, melee requires a certain amount of enemy to be close by controls procs only works on controlled enemies, only 5 stack of support buff same person etc etc) while lore pets start attacking as soon as they arrive so no hybrid will not be used constantly as you described in here.

I am not playing much more these days and my 50's got boring after doing trials trials trials more trials and sometimes WST's considering I only have 4 of them since 2005 should show how long a span of interest I can keep going on. I only bother to play with only my main 50 before i23 and only to complete most content with him doing ouroboros getting in rare occasional raids like shadow shard and such. I was expecting hybrid with anticipation to kill my boredom along with magi trial. Although trial itself is not bad it is boring and hybrid was such a letdown I decided to forget my 50's totally for a while and get my other lowbies trying different power sets etc. Since I am tier 9 i don't think i will lose much other than incarnate. I bought most of character packs back in the day including GR too maybe a couple of things will be blocked but I highly doubt it will effect anything.

Well i don't see why a katana scrapper needs recharge alpha but than again maybe a clicke heavy secondary requires it. I personally uses muscularate anyway.

I didn'y said 0 end cost full time toggle I was ok with 0.5 end/sec one eventhough it sometimes detoggling my full SR toggles after conserve power run out i could make my build working around that cutting a little bit recharge and damage.

Simple solution since 2nd ATO's probably will released with i24 (or shortly after it) I will be putting second set in GC anyway for critical chance proc and moving achielle along with hecatomb set into soaring dragon. Still have similiar -res proc chance but now i get +critical chance with my top attack chain being gc-gd-gc-sd so it is a win-win situation.

For example returning it to 0.5 end/second full toggle version at the beginning of vip-beta would be good.

Or making it gives constant bonuses instead of procs that has a chance for only happen half the time (for assault, control and melee for support increase bonuses would work)

I mean really 3 out of 4 hybrid tree depends on chance or enviromental situations (melee needs enemies around you good luck keeping a good amount of them around you for 2 minute and eve if you manage to it just means when buff goes you will face doom) while they can only be up for half time max.

Let assault give a fix amount of damage if you want to keep half time up half time down. Make control trees damage always. Let melee give a set amount of def res regen and whateverelse.

Or for gods sake return it a true toggle how it was in the vip-beta's first days.

But since devs claim that it is WAI as it is all of these are just trashbin suggestions. Mind you all of them were presented in vip-beta too and many more and probably better ones but devs didn't even bothered to take them serious than why should they start now? Only suggestion devs took serious was adding passive boost because it was the only one they could add to hybrid without changing release date or admiting their wrong and rerolling it back to how it was.

Well I do. But a positional def/regen works too :P
