Edited to add: Though all the criticism, still a beautiful build. You sure don't have endurance problems, though you might be fanning the enemies rather than hitting them.
I'd go for some more global acc w either the Kismet unique or hitting the 4th enh on a LotG. All your KC w/o additional acc added on are hitting at 85% to a lieutenant of equal level. [set your mids at 65 rather than 75 for this] I'd definitely get some slotted acc or global.
Unless you really like that proc, I find slotting Cleaving Blow and Erad to be better as CB 1,3,4 and Erad 1,2,4 it gives right around 90% to Dam, Rech, and Acc.
The Ragnarok is Caltrops. ??? If you want to proc it up, I wouldn't go knockdown, I'd put the damage proc from slow in it.
I see your working for more Recovery. There's no way a person could use the 4.11 end/sec you've got. It might be handy after a nuke crash, but I'm sure you'd have a blue and SoW isn't so amazing you'd fire it often, if at all. I removed everything that had a recovery bonus [putting three commons in QR and Stamina to not gimp them] and it drops from 4.11 to 3.75, which is still more than you can ever use. -
I liked the idea put forward earlier of a +stealth +def while negating an enemy's stealth and def. Though resistance shouldn't be touched as you're able to hit them, not change their resistance.
I think a nice balance with control would be a infinite duration hold but there is either a massive crash or you're held with them for some duration. Or phased.
Hybrid...oooh. I'd love to either change a primary, secondary, whatever. Maybe a build that can only be switched to for a few minutes at a time, and can combine, what I'd like, two primaries from any set. [Martial Arts/Dual Pistols!]
And I love toggles. I have no idea what kind of toggle would be nice. RttC for all team members would be nice. Though that's more a godmode. -
I'm respeccing mine into Weapons Mastery for the caltrops as Reactive Interface is insane with caltrops. Here's my plan.
I'm thinking of ditching the health uniques becaue she's got 700%ish recharge. I mean, what's the point. And there's no way on earth I can use 3.2ish end/second. So, there's that.

I'd like to bring my ice/dark tanker, Toro Frío. (actually his name doesn't have the accent mark over the i as no one would be able to type my name.)
Though we're in the range I could get pretty much any of my alts out. Hmm. -
Quote:That's the way to do it, baby.I just wait until some smuck, doesn't matter who/what, could be a tank, a happy scrapper, another blaster, even a pet, to grab any agro, Then I unleash hell. Seriously not missing defense powers, defense bonuses, or armor. My one nod to game mechanics is 12 pts of KB protection. Stand and deliver is what I say. (or hover and deliver lol)
Any comments that could improve my strategy is appreciated. I am very new to blasting. The general point of the post of course is why spend all the effort/money/limited enhancer bonuses to get any defense when just getting more damage bonuses and smarter killing strategy seems to work like a charm?
Most people who'll comment here solo also, so they're all about the defense. My survivability is the +stealth in hover, hovering, throwing bonfire at my feet or so it's difficult to get to me, aggro being on others, and having RotP up every two minutes. Though, just ran Statesman and never had my health get even to half.
I don't solo unless I just want to kill a group on the street as I fly by.
Hey, you stole my lame joke.
Edited to add: And be smart, I "/bind u customtargetnext [whatever]" all the time. I need to make a bind to put that into the chat blank for me. Aim+Buildup+snipe will get the sapper. -
Recharge on the build up is a little slow. You could steal a slot from Mu Bolts for it. Thunderstrike works well with just four, and the bonus for five is kinda lame.
Ha, my hokey slotting on DA. Neat to see that. I'll see if I can find the entire thread about how others slot theirs as my way is very unpopular, but I don't see any other reason to do it different.
Very nice. Better than mine, that's for sure. Though I'd swap out some of the defense slots for the LotG +7.55 rech, but that's cause I keep some stored. Though, arguably, Kat doesn't really need it so much.
Let me see if I can find that individual thread on DA I started long ago.
Here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=215288 Of note is that I was slotting it differently, focusing on recharge more then, which I realize is a silly thing to go for in a /wp now. -
Alt or Team 2, Saltier, Fire/Ice Blaster.
If some drop after the 1st run, give a shout on the channel as I'll probably be on and might just be pugging one of my midlevel toons. -
Get that unique out of vengeance and put it in an auto. Also, that proc in ball lightning is going to do nothing, and might actually give endurance to it's target.
Otherwise, what I said earlier is how I do it...or would if I did it right. Mine's a mess. -
My 50 MA/Inv is robust but the animation times makes her like a school bus.
She's one of my favorite concepts, but once I got her to 50 I parked her. She's maximizing damage and something else I don't recall, and has endurance problems.
MA, as you probably know, is about mixed forms of mitigation. Great for procs, in a way. IMO, SR might be what you're disappointing in. I was. -
If you wanted defense, why did you pick Regen?
Not trying to rain on your parade, but as a very wise user manual once said, "Not all combinations make sense." -
Quote:This.The "trick" is NOT to ride the Incarnate Trial train.
Do the weekly strike target. Do other TFs. Team with people, gather shards; they drop at all levels, even when you're exemped down, as long as you have the alpha unlocked. If you find yourself missing a component you need, craft it from shards. This is especially true with the component you get from the Cathedral of Pain Trial.
Though you'd have to remove the word "fastest" from your title up there.
In most cases, the T1 is pretty good to just hang out with and work on Interface or Judgement. T2 typically doesn't do much good, and T3's Total Core generally gets you 45% of what you need with 1/2 not affected by ED. That's where I tend to stop at T4 is a pain. I'll get there eventually, but being able to convert shards into threads has put that to a grinding halt. -

I had a lot of fun with that. I'd always heard how hard it was, but our team rocked, and I was glad that I was able to pull the AVs in the last thing.
I know it may have looked like I didn't know what my powers did when I was throwing bonfire under an AV with no minion/lt/etc around, but Reactive was hitting with 12 points four times a second. All total, my damage during the run was 215k. Reactive Interface was 55k of that. 25% of all my damage. Higher than any controlled power. And I stalled on that whole right side branch because Lambda confuses me.
Oh, and my inferno didn't do anything to, I think Black Scorpion. Nothin. But I do need to use it more, since I only used it once and it did 4k that one hit [obviously not on the same guy.]
But, yeah, very fun. Glad we put the Ouro off for a week. -
You'd get better results in the Marketing forum.

What others have said.
And I don't build a blaster for defense, but recharge, and always go Fire epic for RotP. It's up in, I think 3 minutes, and I don't die nearly that often. Heck, there are endurance recovery powers that recharge slower.
The caltrops with the two procs and then Reactive Interface will be serious cruelty. You can take hover, CJ, Cloak, and Maneuvers and Vengeance and you'll get your 5 LotG +rech in. Obviously you can get in all five 6.25s in your attacks. You're at the point of diminishing returns there, but Char can get you some Basilisks for another 7.5, etc etc.
Range, you have to get some melee going. If you're a hover-blaster, why would you get melee powers? If you want to be a blapper, roll a dominator.
Throw the fly stealth in hover. And, uh, I think that's about all I can ramble right now. -
They can attack and immob or hold, not sure which. Saw some doing an extended attack on the dummies in the RWZ Vanguard.
Uh, and that's my experience with them.
They do seem slow, and not as stupid at Electric Gremlins, obviously not as hyper as Fire Imps. Not sure how lazy they are. I am really disappointing is the laziness of my Lore pets. -
-
RttC, QR, and Heightened Senses (as an auto on a build you need E/N/F/C)...Willpower is a great set.
RttC could have been a T9 god-mode with a crash and people would still take it. -
-
I'll either bring Salty or an AR/Dev I need to level so I can incarnate her some Interface. I'm not sure, but Interface might just have made my AR/Dev worth getting out again.
I believe she's only a 43 though. If this warrants Saltier showing up for the bad craziness she is, that's cool also. [I dream my little dream, "Posty, you gotta bring Saltier, her bad craziness is what we need!"] -
Yay, AR/Dev doesn't seem like so much of a red-headed stepchild anymore.
Edited to add: throwing bonfire under an AV will get you around 50 hp per second with Muscular T1 and Total Radial Reactive Interface. -
Oh, buddy, don't worry. I posted my kat/wp build and then took a look at it in mids. It's horrible. Hell, I double slotted fly in fly. I am very fond of my DA slotting though. I didn't mention how to slot that as there are entire threads on that.
Level 8: Divine Avalanche Mako-Acc/Dmg:50(A), Mako-Dmg/Rchg:50(21), LkGmblr-Def/Rchg:50(23), RedFtn-Def/Rchg:50(23), DefBuff-I:50(25), Dmg-I:50(25) -
Assuming Part III of this is happening tonight?
I'll see if I can crash less. Though that seems to be the Irritation du Jour lately. The only difference, besides the updated client, is I'm running Game Booster sometimes. ??? -
My main is switching from Spiritual to Muscular, so I'll need shards. My weekends are unscheduled and variable so I'm not sure when I'll be on. But I'll give a shout on Freedom TF Chat when I'm on and see if it's convenient to hook up with you.
I was just going to run ITF, or possibly whatever TF would give me the salvage I'd need maybe. And the WST, three times I think. But I'm not taking Alpha past T3 anytime soon. Shards come just by play, and I'm not going to bust my hump just to do this fast.
What are you planning on running? WST that weekend blue side is dumb, ol Terra Volta, which I hate. I can get a pizza delivered faster than it takes to hang out in that reactor. But Saltier is a vigilante, so that's cool. But I'm not sure what Tree of Thorns is like.
