    I set of 5 purples will set you back about a billion in the current market so it's not that unreasonable.

    DM Attack Chain

    Frankenslotting Siphon Life to maximize the heal along with damage can net you an extra ~20HP/sec which is roughly 200% regen. It's not a bad move if you can still reach the soft-cap without SL.
  3. For examples of builds, I'd check out DM/WP holy wow.
    Though the real question is, how much inf do you plan on throwing at this toon?
  4. The damage debuff is useful against the mobs used to saturate PBAoE powers such as invincibility or Soul Drain when fighting AVs not the AV itself.

    EDIT: UGH. I run out of end in 86 seconds.

    Is this with Darkest Night running and does this include +end procs?
    Mids doesn't incorporate the procs into its recovery calculations.

    Also, be aware that Soul Drain can have a big impact on your endurance consumption if you have enough recharge.
  6. I took JL because its damage is pure energy so fewer mobs will resist it.

    3 AVs at once...

    How much of Katana/BS's -Def gets resisted at those levels?
  8. You're about 3% shy of the soft-cap with Phalanx Fighting set to zero. I'd replace the Steadfast Res/End with the PvP 3% def unique and you will be good.

    A bit of advice from my experiences with DM; don't underestimate the amount of endurance consumed by Soul Drain. If you are cycling it fast enough it can take a rather significant chunk out of your blue bar. I'd recommend slotting it with the Gaussian set to help knock down its end cost as well as the other goodies it provides.
  9. Dark Obliteration is also nice.
    The damage can't compete with Ball Lightning, but the AoE -tohit meshes well with Darkest Night and another AoE attack can never hurt.
  10. Can't wait to start watching Granite Brutes doing backflips.
  11. Here's my slotting.

    Level 8: Siphon Life -- Hectmb-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(A), Hectmb-Dmg/Rchg(9), HO:Nucle(9), Dct'dW-Heal/Rchg(11), HO:Golgi(15), HO:Golgi(15)

    63% acc, 92.3% dmg, 72.3% end, 94.8% heal, 84.51% rech
  12. I'd shoot for getting your smashing/lethal defense into the mid 20s and your exotic defenses around 30% or so. That's about where my /WP Brute's defenses are at and he doesn't have any issues with alphas.

    I also use Darkest Night as another source of mitigation (took it instead of Strength of Will). It's probably not necessary after you improve your defenses, but it's an option if you still have survivability issues.
  13. Have you considered just taking his spreadsheet and replacing the Scrapper's numbers with the Tanker's numbers? He posted it in his post and I can't see there being many changes to the actual attack chains.
  14. The goal you want to shoot for when it comes to defense is getting to a point where your target's final tohit is around 20%. At 20% the number of misses allowed as part of the Streak Breaker mechanic jumps from 8 to 100. This jump will give you a large boost to your survivability when dealing just not with AVs but also with large spawns.
  15. Elec seems rather cheap in the endurance department plus the attacks have a chance of returning endurance.
  16. It probably just got classified as an offensive toggle or something.
  17. You consider slotting RS with the proc and slotting IS with the other 5?
  18. I'm starting to notice that if I have enough mez stacked on myself to break through IW it would detoggle along with RttC. Is anyone else having this happen?
  19. You consider just picking up acrobatics or slotting a knockback IO?
  20. FYI to everyone, but the panacea proc will actually heal your enemies when slotted in Rise to the Challenge.
    Here's a picture as some evidence.
  21. The only thing that matters for whether an attack builds fury is its animation time.

    Soloing AVs?

    Thanks for the info.
  23. I have a DM/WP and I have to say that while strong, it is no Tank. /WP has the worst Taunt aura available and DM has almost zero AoE causing aggro management to be very difficult. A strong AoE primary is normally a better pair because of punchvoke.

    Soloing AVs?

    I'm rather new to the HEATs so I am a bit curious; can both Kheldians solo AVs?
