Thanks Tea! Glad to be a member of the Club.

Happy Holidays!

My first thought is that a Willpower Brute with Quick Recovery and Stamina shouldn't ever have an endurance problem. What about adding Dark Consumption to your build? (I sometimes treat it like an aoe with benefits)

If you slotted Acc/Damx3/Endredux/Rechage in your chain of smite/siphon life/gloom/AirSup/MidGrasp you should be golden (not sure what the exact chain is but you can sprinkle in AirSup as needed). My attack chain is Gloom/Siphon Life/Midnight Grasp with Smite set on Auto. I sprinkle in Shadow Maul and Soul Drain whenever.

If you have enough single target attacks drop the Recharge in your attacks and add a total of 2 EndRedux.

Back before IO's and the buff to Siphon Life my DM/Fire Brute ran 2 Acc/2 Dam/2 EndRedux SO's in each attack and let his Fury take care of the damage buffage. With 2 slotted Swift he ran from group to group without stopping while maintaining high Fury %.

Thoughts on build:
1. Do you need Hasten? You have a multitude of attacks available already and your secondary doesn't have a click heal like Fire Armor that benefits from a quicker recharge.

2. Add Dark Consumption (see above) in conjunction with #1.

3. Heightend Senses as soon as it opens up at 28, huge mitigation. More important than tough early. Tough at 35 is fine.

4. I wouldn't slot up boxing, maybe not even AirSup unless you need it for attacks.

5. Touch of Fear is your choice. PVP certianly and as a boss debuffer. I dropped ToF and added Darkest Night debuff toggle when it got added to Dark Mastery.

Dark is a great single target set and the -acc has synergy with the Defense portion of Willpower.

Good Luck.

No welcome to billion infamy/inluence club? No "atta boy"? Makes me sad .

Maybe a poor title choice, too much inside baseball I guess. Sorry about the confusion.

I've wanted to post this for a while so here we go:




Champion, my main server: Old fashioned way, a bunch of play time on a bunch of alts, SFs, merit rolls, crafting and selling rare drops.



Triumph, my alternate server: Marketeering 101: crafting badges and selling common IO's, flipping rare salvage.



Freedom, (don't ask): Took advantage of the AE craze by running this SS/Fire Broot and Elec/Kin Ruptor and went gold roll/bronze roll crazy with some Brute TV Don missions at 0/8 difficulty for fun and profit.

P.S. Wealth generating tip: if you get an orange (rare) recipe drop, think about crafting and selling if it provides set bonus like +recharge, +defense, +regen, +recovery...just saying.

Thanks Adeon.

I asked this recently but it's disappeared....so I see that something like Photobucket works well.

My problem...when I "saved" my pics using Print Screen, only the pics saved not any words at all, so no infamy totals as an example. What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Update on low level Merit Rolls:

Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage level 17
Regenerative Tissue: Healing/Endurance/Recharge level 17
Freebird: Stealth level 18

In the bins in needed otherwise I'll sell them.

Thanks OF2, answered my questions.

Switching between forms is easy enough for the Miracle Unique.

I probably need confirmation on this, but I believe that any attacks (Mako Patron Power Pool) work of your MM damage mods, which tend to be pretty low.

I think for Patron's you take your shield and any utility powers like immobilizes/holds/power boosts. I kind of think that PPP attacks are like taking your own primary attacks, a bit of a waste.

My Thugs/MM has Fitness, Leadership, 3 henchmen+2 upgrades+gangwar, and all the poison except Poison Trap. I even have his alternate build without Gang War that does quite well.

Just some thoughts.

Hey Kheldian gurus:

Quick Question: What happens to you're global bonus IO's like LOTG (slotted in combat flight) and Miracle (slotted in Health) when you transform to Nova or Dwarf?

Do they go away as they are "Human" powers? Do they remain?

I've got one each crafted and will wait to slot them based on feedback from you all otherwise I guess my Kheldian has 300 mildo coming his way.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't the Winter Lord Event seem like a great way to stockpile Merits and Candy Canes for the Marketing project?

Just saying.

Has the free server transfer option opened up oportunities to accelerate the process for making merits?

Okay, I made a Fire/WP scrapper and he is now in the SG and is running Hollows Flux arc @ level 7 right now.

Quick question: I know the plan is to park the toons at 34ish or so but when do we want to start spending merit random rolls? 15 for the +stealth stuff? Any direction here?

Random stuff: I gave him the Axe for slicing up Spectre's during Posi's. Skipping travel powers right now for extra AOE for the aforementioned Posi's. Someone else needs to get the SS/Stealth/TP for ghosting I think, any Def out there?

COV Random thought: Quick CAPs worked best for me with a Def-based Stalker with Recall for stealthing/ghosting missions. Paired with FF or Ice shields, he can even grab the glowies in the last mission to spawn Batz without having to clear the map, so I made a Broadsword/Ninjitsu Stalker when that group is ready to run.

Later all,

How about the name Without Merit for the VG/SG who rolls merits as soon as you hit lvl 15 so we can start filling the Market with Stealth IO's.

Just a thought. Looking forward to it. Great Idea.

Gratz on the awesome Thread.

I started a Traps/Sonic before I noticed your thread and I'm having a blast. He is a major benefit for teams and solo's very well (obviously).

I was wondering about a basic Defender Traps Common IO or SO build and was wondering if you would post one. Not as interested in the Purpled out AV killer, just a basic build for Defender/Sonic.

Thanks.

Hey All:

A quick question: What is the easiest, best way to post Pics on the forum?

I'm kind of a newb with all matters computers and this kind of thing so speak slowly and use simple commands...

I'd like it if the Pic(s) actually show up on the forum rather than a link.

Thanks in advance.
