    I thought so.
    I just checked the numbers, and with 4 targets unslotted blaster drain psyche gives 7.1 end/sec. I cant even imagine burning through that much end.

    Slotted with touch of the nictus:
    4 targets: 7.26 end/sec, 37.54 hp/sec
    10 targets: capped around 12 end/sec, 83.09 hp/sec
    Slotted with efficacy:
    4 targets: capped around 12end, 22.89 hp/sec
    10 targets: capped end, 45.79 hp/sec

    I like the way you slotted it to max both, though I prefer to slot 4 nictus and 2 recharge. IMO slotting for any end is excessive vs having the power back faster.

    psi/mm build tips?

    Im not sure how the numbers compare, but drain psyche on my dom caps my end unslotted.
    Slotted for accurate healing it also can cap my regen. Something to consider.

    I am wanting to either go with a Kin/* Defender, or a */Kin Corrupter (I might also opt for empathy), but thats about all I have come up with so far. I am leaning toward a melee type to go with it (scrapper, tank, brute) but have not kept up with powers lately or know what would become extra powerful with a kin behind it. Would prefer something with good AOE powers.
    Primary:
    fire/regen brute
    Secondary:
    Empath/* defender

    Having an empath on follow spamming fortitude would make softcapping all positions easy without compromising anything else, and a fully softcapped regen sounds awesome. Not to mention using AB and RA when needed.

    Give the follower hover for in missions, and pick up recall friend (and turn off prompt teleport for the pet) for when it gets stuck.


    Might not be the best possible combo, but it would be simple to manage with awesome results.

    Yeah youre right, I was thinking of a short circuit type power. Power sink is good to slot for end mod.

    I found some on Point Sierra, in an hour I got 1 level (40-41) and 33 nems. Thats pretty good considering I had to skip plenty of purple spawns. If I was closer to 45 I probably would have gotten 100 nems.

    Thanks for the tip, much better than PI.
  8. Mr_Kingkillaha
    Anyone know of a good mission accessible through ouroboros or otherwise with an excessive amount of fake nemesis? Clockwork gears? Others Im not thinking of right now?

    In the past I have hopped around PI/Perez to find those, but Im hoping there is a more efficient way.

    Does the force feedback +rech proc work in creepers?
    I have one in there right now and it doesnt seem to be.

    This sounds like an interesting project.

    The ideas of petless masterminds or tanks without shields and such dont really fit though. Ruining a good powerset is easy. Making a bad powerset work sounds like a fun challenge.

    I’m looking to make a Katana/Willpower character, and I’m torn between starting now with a Scrapper, or waiting for I21 and Brutes to get it. Opinions? Also, should I spam out Kinetic Combats and such and get to S/L soft cap without DA, or is it better to build for F/C/E/N defense and let DA handle the L, fearing only “S only” damage types? I lean towards straight softcapping, since it would allow me to use another attack in my chain instead of DA.

    Purpose of the character is for all levels, from lowbie 10-20 exemping down, to incarnate trials if that helps.
    For willpower I would choose a brute for the higher HP. You can get your s/l resistance high enough that you can sit comfortably below the s/l defense cap anyway, adding DA to capped f/c/e/n should be pretty good.

    I dont know anything about katanas damage on each AT though.
  13. Mr_Kingkillaha
    Im sure most people here could show you a better build, but throwing around this much fiery chaos feels awesome. My in-game build isnt even IO'd yet and it is awesome, I cant wait to put this one together for real.

    You're arguing pure semantics here; you say three days, other people say four days, but you all mean the same thing... you're just not counting the first day, when most people do.

    The point is, it takes about four* calendar days to fully switch from Hero to Villain. You do your first 5 on Monday, second 5 + Vigilante Morality on Tuesday, third 5 on Wednesday and the last 5 + Villain Morality on Thursday.
    * Unless you have an unlimited time to play, no social/occupational obligations and can jump on exactly 20 hours after your tips cool down... in which case you could have everything done in a little more than 60 hours.
    I edited my post while you were typing, but its close enough. The way I look at it, for the whole 4th day (after 72 hours) you can play as the desired alignment. Takes 3 days to get there, but yeah it is semantics /perspective. If you start Mon morning, thurs morning you are done and thrashing heroes the rest of the day.

    Unless I am severely missing something.

    Day One: 5
    Day Two: 5+Morality
    Day Three: 5
    Day Four: 5+Morality
    Your numbers there show you spending a whole 24 hours doing the first 5 tip missions (or 24 hours on the last 5+1 depending how you look at it). Really you do them in a couple hours, then 20 hours later you are already on the next 5.

    Basically the waiting timer starts after you have beat the first tip and ends when you beat the last morality. ~72 hours or 3 days from the moment you start the first tip.
  18. Mr_Kingkillaha
    You can switch in 3 days.
    Do 5 tips, wait 1 day, do 5 tips+ morality. Wait 1 day, do 5 tips, wait 1 day do 5 tips+ morality. Assuming you play at the same time each day, you can switch sides in 72 hours after you start the first tip. Then double that plus 1 more day of waiting to get back for 7 days round trip.

    I also would prefer a ppp equivalent on hero side

    I have 2 toons that have personal bases already

    Okay, they are more like a storage closet with a crafting table, but who needs all those other fancy gadgets for 1 toon anyway? lol

If I wait until people are really low, it might be too late for some of them, or I get caught in an animation while they die.

    Hearing that empathy is the 2nd most useless set end game, is kinda discouraging. Why put all this time into a toon that doesn't serve much of a purpose team wise later? Wondering if my time would be better spend working on my Thermal cor instead, or maybe going Pain Dom.
    I recommend targeting through your teammates on an empath. That way you are attacking something that has already been aggro, and you can still keep your focus on the team.
    I don't worry about damage though, I just use my attacks for whatever debuff they have.

Robots = Clockwork (Primal or Praetorian), Rikti (lazer guns), Steampunk bots. And so on. All puchaseable, maybe, by the new points system.

    This. I feel like MMs are too limited in concept, just new skins/models would be awesome. Still probably a bit of work to make, but at least the powers would already be balanced.
