Mr_Marvelous

I run radios on my friend's fire/fire/body tank to PL chars of mine past the boring levels, +2/x8, and I've gotten at least 4 purple drops doing this so far.

I'm not an intense farmer, so I'd say that's a pretty solid drop rate for purples.

Wow, that stinks if it's true.

So what attacks does this proc atually return end to you in? Does it have to be an attack that has a chance to return end to you anyways, like Charged Brawl and Havoc Punch?

Or does it not work properly at all?

Somebody who has tried slotting this proc in an attack please report.

Thanks guys.

It's not that ELM in and of itself will give me end trouble, it's just that I'm building for very high recharge+hasten, and I would like the collective spam to be non-stop. My /SR and Fighting toggles aren't maxed for end reduction either.

I have a few of the procs sitting around on junk characters, so I'll probably slap one in Charged Brawl and in Chain Induction.

Thanks again!

Hello!

Last time I was around, months ago, CI had a bug with procs. I heard that a proc triggering would end the chain. Is this still true?

Even if it is still true, I'm trying to find ideal attacks on my Elec/SR to place the Performance Shifter procs to help eliminate any end shortages I might have. I like a very healthy blue bar.

Is CI a smart place to put this, or any, proc?

Thanks!

Hi uber,

I didn't mean to catagorize those sets' qualities as mutually exclusive.

ELM is, after all, a very effective AoE set. I just think the animations are very very cool, hence, more fun for me. I'll be watching those animations fire over and over again thousands of times, so I do always consider this aspect when building a char. Plus ELM gives me some interesting proc options.

SS is also not short on fun, especially with the alternate animations available. I just realize that I will have more fun firing off electric attacks, even though I will get better overall DPS (both AoE and ST) out of SS. The absolute only negative against SS are rage crashes, but the upside to a rage crash is, of course, rage itself.

Tough choice for me, but pretty much a win either way I go :0D

Thanks for the cap info and BU advice too, everybody.

Thanks Julius,

So the only reason I might want Build Up is for that extra tiny bit of dmg, or if I planned to use LR as an alpha without building significant Fury first?

Do most ELM'ers bypass Build Up?

Hello,

Trying to decide between a fun (ELM) or effective (SS) Brute primary for AoE.

I read that Lightning Rod, due to its status as pseudo-pet, only has a dmg cap of %250. If that is true, is it not also true that it makes any dmg buffing beyond fury+slotting a complete waste? (ie: Build Up)

If this is the case, I may steer towards SS for some Rage+FS+Force Feedback goodness. If I still go ELM, I will likely drop Build Up from the build.

Advice?

Info?

Thank you :0D

Hello!

I've been wanting to respec my PB and get back into the Kheld picture since I heard that Cosmic Balance now applies in forms, which I think is great!

The thing is, looking at the numbers, I'm having a hard time justifying playing in Nova form. The attacks are decent, and there's the %45 dmg and %9 tohit buff in Nova, but the base dmg isn't a whole lot higher than Dwarf or Human attacks. With a Force Feedback in Dwarf Flare, which is not far off in dmg from the Nova AOE's, you can pretty much spam it. Procs can help get the melee attacks up in dmg too.

So my question is, for a long-term IO build, is it worth building tri-form or should I just go Human/Dwarf? If the Nova can still rain death (err, arrests) late-game like it can pre-30, I'd love to hear about it. However, if I'm throwing away slots on Nova, and should just go Human for Ranged/AOE, please let me know.

I'm counting on the vet PB's for some solid advice here.

Thank you

Heya Bill,

Before I continue, thank you for the guides, they've been mucho helpful.

I noticed in your updated rig settings you have CCC AF set to 4X now instead of 16X. That's a pretty big dip. Is it a typo? Or could you really drop to 4X and benefit from a performance boost without a huge IQ hit?

Just wondering, will try it out myself

IF ANY DEVS READ THIS THREAD PLEASE READ IT ALL!

And PLEASEEEEEEE dont take away the +1 minions/mob in missions! Omg I love it so much! I can fianlly solo my controller reliably through the early levels, and god knows I might be able to stomach doing missions post lvl 20 on other characters!

I dont want to be the guy who says "omg you suxxorz" because you cant complete current missions but....c'mon guys. If your tank cant handle a few +1 minions solo, something's wrong, and it's not with the missions.

Sorry for the rant
