I like Clouded Senses or Perfect Zinger procs personally.

This way the two attacks that show up the most often in the chain have the purple procs, as well as a secondary proc.

It's how I got my pylon time to 5:46s, although it's not endurance sustainable, and I cheated using recovery serums/blues.

I generally don't need it to be sustainable, as the build is team focused and I usually don't run into End issues outside of hasten rage crashes (cardiac has done wonders)





That's ok, happens sometimes.

No harm, no foul.

Blackberry is still a big company and is throwing a ton of money into new platforms. Nokia too. Not to mention, if your app is really cool people will want it for Windows and Mac too! I know I'd much rather run a build planner on my PC browser than my phone's tiny screen.

My suggestion: do a web app. Use PhoneGap to be able to crank out native apps that can go through various app stores. Use a framework like jQuery Mobile to create interfaces that look native across different devices.

You don't have to worry about stuff like shipping an updated UI or database with a web app because everyone always gets the latest. If someone switches devices, they don't have to worry about transferring their data. Linking to datachunks is easy. Hosting is cheap. Heck, one generous donation of $100 would take care of hosting for a year.

Plus, a web app makes possible interesting possibilities of user generated content. People could mark their builds as public, allowing others to browse annotated builds for comparison/inspiration. You could offer statistical functions like "what percentage of builds pick this power" or "show me public builds that have more of set bonuses X and Y than my build does".

This may be a nonstarter 'cause it sounds like you're a dedicated Apple developer, but from the standpoint of maximum user adoption and futureproofing, a web app is the better way to go.

DM/Invuln can be built to solo AVs, it requires very effective slotting and build planning.

I'll continue to feel free to post this idea whenever it pleases me, especially in threads that are so full of misinformation and confusion as to be laughable.

Mebbe I will just quick grind the build up to 50 and see what it can do.

Surely the most important point is that in 19 so-called 'issues', there has been NO REAL NEW CONTENT.

So, Energy/Will would prob rock against AVs?

I have solo'd these EB level AVs and Heroes on many different type brutes, including SS/Invul. (Although i was really having End management problems.)

If you mean truly soloing an AV I do not think it can be done, not on a Brute. My current main is a Dark/Invul. Pimped out with 5 purple sets, 2 PvP sets, and various Procs and Globals. with this build I can tank almost any AVs. that is it, just tank. I tanked Reichsman the other night for 10 min while waiting for the team to make it back from the hospital after a wipe. I tanked Positron and Back Alley Brawler solo while the team killed another AV. I used serious inspirations for this, and thankfully it was just under 3 minutes. I do not use Unstoppable, but I was just about out of inspirations lol.

The damage per second necessary to carry the fight against an AV just is not there. Even if you built a Brute for DPS at the expense of all else, and assumed you could survive the encounter, I doubt the DPS is there to take down a full strength AV. Has anybody actually solo'd one on a Brute?

Then have to deal with the cliques who are fed up with the fact that there is somebody who is smarter than them, and is better than them, and is willing to counter them point for point on their own turf and force them to back down, then watch them descend to posting one liner snap-shots and then turning tail and running.

Thing is, I don't give any room for argument. I don't give any room for comeback. I don't give any wiggle room for not like that.

Now, if somebody does come along, and they do find an error, get this, I will edit my post.

I will leave the original text in, then run the ^^^^^^^^^^ as a strike out, and post the corrected text. I don't have anything to hide behind. If I'm wrong, I've got no problems admitting I'm wrong, and then leaving the mistake for others to find.

Simply saying Nu U're Wroang without anything to back it up?

That shouldn't even be worth my time to respond to.
