no way they'd put in tar patch its *too* good. fearsome stare would be good but with a reduced to hit- value instead of reduced cone size.

I'm actually wondering if the placate proc in siren's song works as well if not better as it does in will dom.

Quote:well that original statement is almost certain to not be true anymore with the incoming posi change. if I had to take a guess, I would assume the devs would shorten it to make it more noob friendly which would mean lower merits anyhow.Originally Posted by BrandX
This is good for merits. But running a lvl 50 ITF, also gives the chance for a purple recipe to drop into your lap
although to counter point LGSF gives almost double the merits and the same chance for purp drop -

Quote:It wouldn't be anymore overpowered than a team of 8 corrs/trollers/blasters or anything else. aside from it being unrealistic for 90% of the game.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
That would be horribly overpowered in a team setting. A team of 8 Defenders is already one of the best team combinations out there. Increasing the base damage of a team of Defenders just makes it even more broken.

dev is nice for web nade and the perception/to hit from targeting drone. thats it.

in my experience, rad/ is best in pvp and nothing else. there are a few decent rad/fire builds out but otherwise, it's meh.
not a fan of /ice either. chilling embrace and ice patch are amazing but lol@FA. -
please tell me this isn't a pvp build
because...just....no
EDIT: after beating my head against a desk a few times, heres a few criticism
Assuming this is a pvp build because of the name
don't take fly, you'll get webbed a ton and no one likes that
dear god, don't slot air superiority with heca's
go ahead and drop veng, manuevers, PotP, and basically mu mastery. why? because lol defense in pvp, rez's don't help in arena or zone, and mu mastery sucks. i'd recommend levi for shark jaws because that is pretty hard hitting attack especially when it scourges, and hibernoob. that will allow you to drop stealth pool, or keep it for phase and hiber both viable options
i'd add some accuracy to heat exah and i'd say you're over slotting melt armor for defense debuff. 2 accs and 2 rech are fine.
I'd also drop RoF for fire breath since you get the full damage. the only real reason to have RoF is to pull stalks out of hide.
for the love of all thats holy pick up fitness and put the numina/miracle/regen tissue procs in there.
pick up the fire shield/plasma for no other reason than to slot KB procs into them. you have 4 points atm, you'll get knocked around everywhere unless you get naded by having fly. (you want about 45 kb points btw, i think thats the magic number, 40+ atleast).
thats just a cursory glance, you'll probably get more posting in the pvp forums -
Yea, im gonna try and form for one more saturday before giving this up. that'll put us at trying to get a decent amount for about a month and the turn outs are too low to have any fun with. was a nice try

Quote:having more attacks doesn't, by any means, make you solo better.Originally Posted by Madam_Enigma
By the way, saying it can't solo well implies frequent deaths. If your dying that often, maybe your secondary is underslotted. Maybe you need more attacks. Or maybe you need to rethink tactics.

I think it's because the "role" is entirely in your head. This is a very flexible game. The idea that certain ATs had specific "roles" was dashed long long ago.

Quote:actually ES's animation is .07 secs longerOriginally Posted by Blackdragon1686
Thanks.
Suppose I'm mostly looking for advice on the set as a whole... I often post and then realize what it is that I'm REALLY asking. I have a set theme in mind, which is why I slotted for def and rech and yet didn't take ice mastery (don't like ice mastery for this character, going more "natural").
ES is bad? PR, while having an awesome animation, also seems to have an ungodly long activation time, though I had planned on taking it eventually. SF on the other hand I'm on the fence with... I usually don't take the mez powers of a blaster but I tend to suffer from a solo'ing standpoint for that choice. -
Quote:I never said DP was a bad choice. DP is fine on defenders. Yea the damage sucks, but the ability to stack 35ish -damage consistently makes up for it.Originally Posted by _Tux__EU
I aprreciate your input PC_Guy but since my freind's fender is in the mid-40s, I can't see him remaking the toon. I know DP is lackluster in damage when compared to Sonic Blast but it still should be an enjoyable (and useful) on most speed runs, particualrly as we almost always have a Cold and Rad on the team anyway, so some resistance is always welcome.
and on speed runs, the more debuff and damage the better. sonic is at the back end of debuffing and is very very slow having to buff everyone. -
Quote:any change to vigilance or any inherent done from now on should not have anything to do with team size or how well/bad said team size(including yourself) is doing.Originally Posted by RED1015
Personally I think something that would be more likely to come up or just more useful when soloing rather than something that automatically kicks in when not on a team would be better. Like say, a damage or recharge buff dependent on your health like old Defiance.
-
im not really sure what you're slottin for. it looks like rech but you take fighting >.>
easily droppable for something like assault/tactics which is a nice damage buff and tactics can slot some decent IOs.
ES sucks. it does. drop it. having both that and PR is so slow. i'd recommend taking one or the other, generally PR if you aren't going to take swap ammo since you get the -res, and PR has double range for being alittle lower in damage.
this is my build, its s/l capped and 90% recharge (95% once i get the arma's in psw)

Quote:you know, the set with regen debuff, damage debuff, slow debuffs, more -def and more -res than sonic (unless sonic has someone in range to use disruption field, even still TA is more proc-able to get more -res even with that), as well as the crazy damage dealt from OSA(which is half the recharge or liquify). all of which sonic doesn't have.Originally Posted by Garent
What?
-
So im looking for spine/regen build help. Honestly I have no idea what to slot for but I had a friend advise to slot for recharge to get IH and MoG up as often as possible, but the more I play it the more squishy it feels(granted its only 37 atm but still). should i try to get some res by getting tough and resilience or even slot for defense or just stick with trying to get as much rech as possible(currently at 80% global)?

No it's not. I've no interest in PvP whatsoever. What I described are just a few of the things various gaming outifits are trying to develop instead of falling back on the antiquated "WoW" model (minus the Monkey).

Quote:so you want to pvp. since that is effectively what you are describing. no encounter is the same, you enemy learns from you and for the most part, its a new and different challenge, and its much different from the normal content. i'm sorry to inform you however, that your rikti monkey will never, ever, be what saves the day.Originally Posted by Shard_Warrior
Give my toons an epic story arc to go on where it isn't "go here and defeat X" every single mission. How about story arcs with branching content that aren't the same every time you run it? If you run it a second time and make different choices, then your toon gets to experience a whole different branch of content. Arcs where I have to solve a riddle or some kind of puzzle and not just whomp on bad guys. I want missions where my Rikti Monkey is what saves the day. Develop enemies (like the long forgotten "Nemesis System") that will learn and adapt to what you do so the pattern you need to defeat them will never be the same thing twice. -
Quote:who says they did?Originally Posted by Torrynt
I have to imagine that the developers realized that GR would make Defenders less attractive to a large portion of the player base. Yes, Defenders are better on teams, but not so much so that far too many people would rather roll a toon that can actually be self sufficient.
Kudo's to them for realizing this. -
