    Can't wait to respec and play our i24 monsters!
    Has anyone bothered to do an eyeball estimate on the i24 resistance set bonus bumps that their build is getting?

    I definitely do not plan to slot for recovery.

    Agility T4 gives ya S/L/E/R with this one.
    Slotting is not quite optimal elsewhere though.
    Pretty fun so far at level 36.

Oh yeah...and I would have already fired off Ice Storm at some point too. Good stuff!


    Otherwise for Ice, I suspect BIB will get "adjusted" out to 80 feet from its current 50 feet. But with no snipe to "adjust" (flipped animations aside for BFR and BIB), I'd like to see Frost Breath get a wider cone or higher DMG (while conceding an END cost of 18.5-20 and RECH of 20-24, perhaps).

    Major points in Fire Blast's favor:
    -Better single target DPS

    My Water/En is only 42 currently, but can solo on x8 with bosses quite comfortably. Considerably better than my Fire/MM did at the same level, actually.
    Yeah...I don't think Water trails Fire by much at all.
    In comparison, the only power than makes me frown is Water Burst.
    It's KD and -SPD does not warrant -25% less DMG than Fire Ball.

    Anyway, when I think over Water and Fire now, I think of Water/Fire.
    With a keen leveraging of END management tools, this combo looks quite mighty

    Another for the pile.

    * 51% energy and 54% ranged before PB.
    * May need to reswizzle for more S/L/Melee (now at 41% each) depending upon live play results.
    * Perma insta-Snipe
    * Nuke
    * PB up/downtime equal
    * Agility, Degen +toxic and will pick up both Assault and Melee eventually.

    Not all that nice, really. I'll just slot the proc or completely pass on these.

    On an SD toon, Melee Core + Rebirth is dy-no-mite!
    Trigger OWTS (when needed...like when Melee Core is down) and may you never be defeated again.

    With Agility T4, M/R/A is 63/53/52 accounting for the residual effect only of Mask Presence.

    182.5% recharge with two KB +rech procs for more chances to get Psychic Wail up asap

    Still haven't settled on Rebirth or Barrier now that I have Hybrid:Melee Core. Leaning toward Barrier for those rare cases of uber -regen being slapped on me.

    Seamless chain of Gloom->Subdue->Dominate
    Aid Self for giggles
    Might swap Confuse in for Total Dom, but alternating AoC and Total Dom spawn-by-spawn is pretty nice.
    The ATO fear proc in Spin is just gravy. I will eventually get Hybrid: Control Radial for the 100% stun...again for giggles.

    (Travel with Ninja, Sprint and Hurdle...and jet pack when needed.)
  16. Kitteh
    My Catherine America (also natural) now has Hybrid:Melee Core (WAI?) to go along with OWTS (I have CP for the crash) and Rebirth.
    By just timing alone, I think I can make her undefeatable under most scenarios.
  17. Kitteh
    Assault for sure.
    The data will choose the branch for me.
  18. Kitteh
    So many nice options...

    Widow => Assault:Core Emb (sustained +DMG)
    Melee Fort => Control: Core Emb (+1 Mez and +DMG procs) and Radial Emb (100% stun if immob'd)
    Ranged Fort => Assault: Radial Emb (double-hit)

    Huntswoman (w/ double pets) => Support: Core Emb (2x buffs for pets)
    Melee/-RES Cone Crab => Assault: Radial Emb (double-hit)

    It is a straight math via IOs for any applicable power?
    Or is it an auto-hit "drain/syphon HP" type of mechanic?
    Or something else?

    Ha! That's exactly what I did. Made me a female Captain America (Catherine America). Inverted the costume colors, went Vorpal (for the natural theme), and no travel powers (sprint + ninja = !!!). I love her!

    Nice build, Rad.
    As soon as my scrapper is T4'd across-the-board, I will make me one of these.
    Then you and me will duel in the arena.
    First one to land a hit, wins!


    Oh...and I take it that Farsight from the same user doesn't stack?
