Yeah sorry, I always get the end crash and -def mixed up.

Ultimate Unique Dragon Kin Master?

Apart from having to back up 8ft to be able to read those huge letters, this thread has been as much fun as a public forum can be. Horrible build, zero self critique and an obvious distaste for learning the mechanics is a recipe for humorous disaster. I love it!

Rage defense debuff is unresisted and will take 25% from you unless you stack rage, then you'll avoid the defense bit of the crash.

1. Because OP stated that he planned to use it as his heal. 2. Because there are no other ways of self healing in his planned build, and inspirations is a limited supply.

Fair enough, please tell me where I go wrong then.

I've solo'd AV's with a fire/kin, but I don't have a high enough /cold (anything) to really have the IO's or real experience from it.

Sure, perma (or near perma is surely good enough) heat loss is a huge help, but you still don't get the base 240s recharge of hibernate low enough to heal often enough, and the loss of damage output during your hibernation to overcome the regen the AV still has. I'm guessing a fire/cold at best will be able to "hold" an AV's health bar. But that's just based on a quick glance at the numbers.

Did the maths, and if you manage to find 201% global recharge (including hasten of course) and have 99.08% recharge in your attacks and debuffs, you'll be able to take out anything with up to 90000 hitpoints. Kronos Titan has 73k according to da intarwebz.

BUT, this of course is based on applying benumb and sleet every 30 sec, Heat Loss every 90th second, and an attack chain of Ring of fire (1,17s cast) + Ice Blast (1s recharge)+ hot feet (1 tick every other sec) which will add up to 131.42 dps. You will do approximately 65% -regen to the AV after purple patching and the -res is afaik unresisted at -30% so add that to the damage. It's also based on the assumption that you never need to stop for hibernate, resummoning pets (which will be dead most of the time anyway).

During a 90 sec period, you will cast 41 Ice blasts, and 42 fire cages, burn through 1062.7 units of end (if no endrdx) or 11.8 end/sec or, if slotted with 3 lvl 50 IO endrdx in each power = 5.93 end/sec, and with stamina and heat loss fully slotted for end you'll manage to pull that off as well with a 6.66 end/s recovery. Hopefully you'll be able to get a fair share of +rec from your IO's since you'll most likely focus on other things than slotting your powers for endrdx.


Oh! One more thing: With 201% global recharge, Hibernate is up every 60 seconds. I'm pretty sure an AV will be able to land 2 serious hits during that time.

Sure, I agree to that in 9/10, but combined with fire I don't see the synergy that will help you finish off that AV.

Relying on Hibernate to heal is dodgy at best, especially since you don't have the recharge to deal with 2 hits in short time, and the fact that alot of damage comes from hot feet.

I'd say it's a better chance to solo AV for a plant/cold than fire/cold.

Yep, 95% DDR, and nope, rage will still kill your defense unless you double stack it, so you got it all absolutely right.

All you need is 1 HP, everything above that is buffer and not needed for performance.

This. If you win this bid 1 of 2 things happened: You've either lucked out and will become insanely rich, or they plummeted in price and you should have known better

It was more a reflection of how farming might not equal less work, but more.. PL'ing where you pay a farmtard to do your work however qualifies.

The best farmers are really hardcore players that puts in alot of effort to get (repetitive) things done alot more in a shorter period of time.
