Even so, probably a PM would be better so people don't have to wade through a 3-page long list of stuff. I only asked Ocho first to make sure simply asking for any part of the System Profile wouldn't get me in trouble.




I can't really use it now, I'm away from home.

I'd consider pushing Fault/Oppressive Gloom up. The combined disorient would add oodles of mitigation. It may be worth just making a note that they could be moved up with i19, since your Fitness picks will be free.

Gloom is one of the best Brute attacks. I'd slot that buster up for more damage and recharge.

Titanium Coating? Why? Even if you do the 3 for the HP bonus, you could use the last 2 slots Impervium Armor for some recovery, or even Aegis for some movement speed. Even if you're not going for defense, I'd still probably do Reactive Armor before Titanium Coating for a little extra defense. That is, if I were going to 5 slot them. I would consider moving some of those slots out and simply franken slotting your resist toggles. ESPECIALLY out of Obsidian Shield. Hasten, Death Shroud, and Gloom are all good places to give some more slot love.

Stone Fist has a much lower chance to mitigate than Stone Mallet (10% vs 50%), but has a slightly higher DPA. I don't think you need both. It may be nice for leveling to have the extra attack, but I would work out your attack chain at various levels to see when you can leave one of them behind. On the other hand, if you're one of those fellows who waits till 47 to IO out, and you keep Fault so late in the build, it may not happen until 47.

(I did not put in Epic powers because I needed to slot def powers LOTG, when I 50 I respec to Purps +LOTG, and get 2 Soul Mastery attacks, one a fat AoE) I am making a level about every hour. Anybody got a good farm for smashing/lethal resistance/defenses? Mine seem to be using something else with theirs, maybe dark. Some kinda undead warrior warehouse thingy.

Thanks.

/Ice is all about survivability. With IO's, it's mostly overkill. Dark definitely doesn't need the mitigation from /Ice.

Being able to AS as a byproduct of MoG really isn't a big a deal considering MoG's recharge time and I would never use it specifically for that purpose. Thus is why I state that a set like Regen has little alternative to mid-combat ASing. Do you disagree? Because I already know you can AS during its duration. Or would you make the same argument for ASing after a Soul Transfer? It's the same thing, honestly.

You put it in terms of 'technically' as well. Well, technically, no stalker naturally has access to Shadow Meld until they get the badge to get patron pools. Even then, only a Stalker who chooses Soul Mastery, not every Stalker. To say Shadow Meld is available to every Stalker regardless, is like saying Quick Recovery is available to every Brute. It's not. QR is only available to Willpower Brutes.

It's an argument of semantics and, no, my Elec/Regen/Mu Stalker build does *NOT* have access to Shadow Meld even though his build could make great use of it.

...no.

That main that hit 50 was a Mind/Energy dominator, and I've actually kept playing him. It's only been a few weeks and I'm confident I've already spent almost as much time on him than I did with any other 50's. I suspect in a short amount of time he will become my most played 50.

Plant/Fire would likely have yielded similar results for me. That's because they both sport an AoE confuse and an AoE sleep. Actually, Plant's descriptions don't say whether Spore/Seeds notify enemies. Part of what I love about Mind/ is you can disable ambushes without breaking stealth. It makes for an awesome support character on things like speed TFs. /Fire also can form an awesome ranged attack chain and with decent recharge, Embrace is disgustingly awesome.

So, IMO, they are both great powerset combinations worth trying out, at least on paper. Since you've got a history with Brutes, I would try the Dominator.

...However, I think the name fits a Stone/Dark much more appropriately. A shaking screen and enemies quivering in fear sounds more like "Legend Breaking" than almost anything else you can do in the game.

I say you try both projects, but give the name to the Brute.
