I don't care about the body of the message, since 99% of the time there isn't one. I want/need a way to sort through the crap in my inbox without having to do it through a 5 line mini-window.
Anyone have a good solution for this? -

Mechalith, going by your live build I think you also have some endurance problems when Chrono Shift isn't active. Get Hasten to help with its recharge and slot your attacks for some endredux. It's even more important than the endredux in your toggles.
It's a good point RE: Chrono Shift though. -
Quote:I suppose I should make this clear. The build I posted is the character's current state in game. I've actually played him all the way to 50.Originally Posted by Local_Man
The various builds being posted are all level 50, fully IO'ed out builds. Personally, I think folks need to learn the basics before having a fully IO'ed out build. There are a lot of personal choices based upon playstyle. Learn to play the character and learn your preferred playstyle before you make a "final" build.
Some folks feel that a build MUST have capped defense. Others feel that a good team-focused build is better because it will help the team kill stuff faster . . . and why do you need Defense when teammates are drawing the aggro while you control groups? I tend to be in the latter group, but acknowledge that a high-defense build can be good, too.
I said he's hopeless as a solo because frankly soloing is a boring trudge that I could probably speed up with lift but since the last time I had it the power sucked I didn't bother. (this was prior to the recent Grav changes) I haven't had issues with surviving, just taking out opponents. The defense buffs are PBAoE, and primarily for the benefit of my team mates, not my character. The same goes for the leadership powers.
Does that make better sense? -

I'm noticing a lot of these builds are using Hami-Os instead of IOs for the same function and higher % effect. Pardon my ignorance here, but... why?

I'm looking for some help optimizing my build for team play, since this power combo seems pretty hopeless for soloing. I know my setup isn't close to optimal, but frankly I've got no idea what the best ways to improve it would be so any advice re: slotting, power choice, etc would be appreciated.
On a related note, if anyone has a solo spec for grav/time they would recommend, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks. =)

I actually meant something like the interrupt reduction for snipe attacks. Was never sure if it actually shortened the animations or just the time in which it could be stopped.
Ultimately, I may swap to a different primary. I like the look of the powers, but looking interesting isn't enough to take me to 50. -
So, I just started an Elec/WP brute at the suggestion of someone in another thread, and while I'm liking it so far I'm finding that Jacob's Ladder and ThunderStrike are a little disappointing as far as activation time vs damage and range.
I'm wondering what powers you'd recommend skipping or slotting for cast reduction/range/whatever first, for improved efficiency. -
These are partially cosmetic, partially QOL stuff.
1) Please, PLEASE change the long range TP to select the destination before the wind-up. I hate having to go vooooooOOOOOOOOOMFOOOSH.... :: stands around looking silly for a moment, then clicks and fades ::
2) Possibly change the base teleporter vet reward power to work like the Ouroboros portal? Shorter cast time, generates a temporary gateway on the ground that your team-mates can use to bail through.
Neither is a major issue, I'm not about to stop using the powers or storm into the distance in a huff to play another game, but a change would really make me happy. -
So, I've finally battled my way up to level 50 with my main hero, a Grav/Time controller. He's great fun in a group but virtually impossible to solo with, and I'm looking to plow my way up with a second considerably quicker. I also played an NRG/NRG blaster back in the dark ages, and I've had my fill of floor-hugging for a while.
So, great theorycrafters: what combination of AT and power sets would you recommend for a combination of survivability and leaving a mountain of bodies in my wake?
