    Offender?

    Dark debuffs the resistance of your foes and thus boosts your damage, it also contains a very chunky self heal for example (probably the best in the game)

    I believe it has thwe exact same values as Kineytics Transfusion but it does higher heal points than anything empathy can come up with short of Absorb pain because it requires a to-hit roll in order to work correctly. In short it's the best 'non penalty' heal, along with Transfusion in the game.
  2. Shame it doesn't do any negative damage
  3. i did this with my Kin Troller and i then changed it to standard lvl 30 heal IO's and got a bigger heal. IMO it's not really worth it for the few levels you'll get a boost. What's really needed is a Heal set with accuracy built in for transfusion and the Dark heal who's name I completely forget cos I've only ever rolled one char with it and that was my Cov beta MM!
  4. Ooh, nictus version looks cool but I still prefer the Rularuu one, it looks totally fab!
  5. Erm, debt does increase as you level. Otherwise a lvl 50 would clear their debt in about .25 of a second. Used to be a lvl 50 would get over 100k debt for every death, no matter where that death was. That usually took most of the rest of the mission to clear instead of clearing the current mob.
  6. As in my Sig, +1 lvl 20 FF/Dark on Onion called Bubbleglum!

    Defenders will always be my first love, a Defender was my first 50 and my third and fourth!
  7. Perhaps it's own mini arc using the midnight Squad investigating it? That would make use of the underused zone.

    I'd probably say Kin/Something simply for the extra damage available to you from the Kin and you get a self heal and can get your end back later as well.
  9. Why on earth does your BS Scrapper even use kick? Surely there's something else better you can use?!

    Overpower?

    Yeah, that's right, basically you always had a chance to pop a higher Mag Hold (20% chance AFAIK) now you just get a notification. I'm sure everyone's seen how sometimes you can hold a boss first time, other times it takes two ttempts? That's the higher mag hold popping up sometimes.

    I didn't bother with Snap shot or Entangling Arrow

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Umm... how did you manage to drop Snap Shot, Miss_Chief?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    pardon me, i was tired and it was late! Aimed shot and Aim itself I never bothered with.
  12. I really should post a build of my TA one day! Staminaless is do-able but I have no toggles apart from Hover, not even the shield available in Ancillary 41+. I didn't bother with Snap shot or Entangling Arrow but by all means take them. I do have Conserve Power from Ancillary along with Power Build Up so if I do use Emp Arrow (and with Power Build Up it's great) I can pop Conserve Power and keep on trucking. On any team with more than 4 people in it my end isn't an issue. SO much so I'm really looking forward to i12's 'create insp from three of any other' option as I seem to collect Blues!

    I slotted quite a few procs, especially in Glue Arrow and in oil Slick. If they'd just sort the non lighting issue out but don't let that hold you back, I had a lot of fun on mine to 50 and still play her regularly!
  13. I wish people would stop knocking vigilance. I love it, it helps my TA/Pointy sticks do without stamina and still function. I can spam any attacks that i want and only have to use Conserve Power after I use Emp Arrow. Stop moaning or come up with something more constructive that's doable and not overpowered!
  14. I too have noticed this even when we're all standing outside a mission or just standing chatting or waiting on somoene who's afk. my end discount will occassionally flash up with a negative value.
  15. One thing I would say about parry and it's usefulness is that yes, it boosts your def by quite a chunk but as an attack itself it's very poor. Your DPS will drop quite significantly if you use it. I have it slotted but don't use it on my attack chain unless I really need the extra Def, then I just 'auto' it and every time I change target it'll fire off before anything else. Once said buttock-tightening moment is over I take the auto-fire off and leave it in my tray. It's not a part of my regular attack chain.

    I love my earth controller. One of the best things about it is the amount of procs that can be slotted in powers. Someone said about not using stone cages as you level, which I don't find at all, I constantly spam it on teams, in combo with stalagmites its as good as a hold (mine has trap of the hunter chance for lethal and positrons blast chance for energy) Quicksand is a great defence debuff and slow, very worthwhile using in teams (again I have Impeded Swiftness chance for smashing). Though I found as I levelled that earthquake is the power I tend not to need to use much though I do as it has Achilles Heel chance for res debuff and Lady Grey chance for neg energy in it.

    It was me that talked about Stone Cages. Because it's an immob it'll stop your earthquake from working and I prefer the KB rather than the immob and still being able to shoot at me. I also found it's a total end hog and as I'm going staminaless until Transference I want to keep my end

    Nrg/Dev Build

    You'd be far better taking the KB prot far earlier, possibly a defence one and slotting it into Cloaking device. Thatr's what I've done and I rarely get knocked over. You'll benefit from it much earlier.

    I dislike Hover with Blasters, I find that it's better to be mobile and fast with swift and maybe CJ (could slot KB prot in CJ if needed) or hurdle. You'll be knocking enemies out of range quite a bit and Hover just doesn't cut it to get back in range, especially before they get back up again.

    Also, I hope you have a lot of inf, that build is going to be EXPENSIVE!

    What Ya think?

    For Energy Aura I could recommend Dark Melee as a primary.

    The man speaks sensibly. The -Acc from Dm stacks well with the Def of the EA.

    build doesnt come cheap but is such a fun toon to play was worth every penny. Main thing ive gone for is +recharge with this build.

    Good luck affording that. Oh, right, it's a pure farmers build. Good luck not dying of Boredom before you can afford all that instead.

    The build will change as you level up, for example before you get FS you'll want recharges in Siphon Power as well accuracies.

    This build has already been made.

    Sorry, I forgot, Fire/Kin, the farmers tool.

  23. I also have an Earth/Kin, and I'll just say it gets better and better! Stone cages you won't use so much later on (cos it's a total end hog and stops your earthquake working properly.) Stalagmites later on absolutely rocks and then there's Volcanic gasses which also works really well. Earthquake also rocks! (sorry!)

    I wouldn't recommend Fly/Hover for an Earth Kin though as Stalagmites needs you to be on the ground to use it. I'd heartily recommend trying Combat Jumping or Stealth and picking up the Anti KB IO though, well worth it!

    I've been struggling (well, not really TBH, I try not to drop too much at a time, all the placable clickies helps loads though) without Stamina and am now lvl 29. Stone pet and Transference are getting closer and I've thought about slotting Increase Density with Dam Res to really let my stone friend tank. I can't wait for a Fulcrum shifted, Speed boosted Stone pet with good levels of Damage resistance running around.
  24. i'd say with your taunt aura in invuln, DB has a couple of AoE's as part of Combo's so these would be very useful, especially with the sweep combo.
  25. Take the slots out of Health, when you have transfusion you really won't need the +regen!

    Hover is a very useful tool for a Kineticist, especially after a siphon speed. As has also been said, ID doesn;t really need the ext5ra slots, IMO it's duration is to short to give any useful Dam Res and is far better used as a mez removal tool. Wish it worked against sleep though!
