Any tips? So far I'm level 22 into the build and it's pretty fun.
-
Pfft. I've whupped some people with Mercs before.
-
Yeah, but it also gives resistance, too.
-
Well, Hoarfrost not only heals you, but raises your max health. But on the downside it's an ancillary, meaning you won't get it til late in char's career.
-
I also had the idea to take Tactics out and replace it with Burst or Slug and put as many Chance for X in there as possible.
Something like, Chance for Damage (Negative) from Apocalypse, Chance for Build Up from Decimation, Chance for Heal Self from Entropic Chaos, Chance for Hold from Devastation, and another Chance for Negative Damage from Touch of Lady Grey if I go with Burst, or possibly Chance for +Recharge from Force Feedback if I go with Slug -
I figured I'd try again once I found out the Achilles' Heel -Res Debuff doesn't stack, and that LoTG is more accessable now with alignment merits.
Critiques and comments, please.

Level 4: Ninja Run -
Dark Embrace from Soul Mastery is the best shield, giving Res to 4 different damage types, but Frozen Armor/Hoarfrost is definitely a good choice, too.
-
If you want epic, make your ATs Incarnate in i19.
-
Not usually, often it's one of the harder difficulties. I <3 MMs, btw.
-
Well, you don't see fans of other ATs asking for /Poison, do ya?
-
/Poison is the red-headed stepchild of MM secondaries, it's even less popular than trick arrow.
-
You may want to consider Brutes, too. Stalkers are way too squishy. Brutes deal a little less damage than scrappers, but are far more survivable. I've heard /SD brutes are, well, brutal.
-
It'd also be neat to be able to use the Sky Raider Force Field Generator for the /Traps ability, too.
-
According to Mid's, it unlocks fine. Ice Blast just doesn't count as Chill Mastery for some reason.
-
Eh, I'm guessing GR will eventually have it's own EAT, though it's hard to tell what, considering there's always at least two different EATs with the same storyline, so it can't be PPD/Resistance or something like that. Maybe PPD/Seer or something new altogether.
-
Not that I've heard, you can unlock Chill Mastery, but you have to use Flash Freeze as opposed to Ice Blast, at least, according to Mid's.
-
Yeah, those are also auto and not toggle.
-
I kind of want to make the Mercs/ look like PPD SWAT and stuff like that, though I'd prefer the ability to fully customize them.
-
I believe they do, but SJ doesn't increase Run Speed, and SS doesn't increase jump height, but NJ does both.
-
Er, that's not a real reason to leave it out. Just don't allow people to pick the female body type. Big deal.
-
I don't know. I would have thought that MMs would be able to customize pets with the Architect Edition, but since nothing came from that for MMs... I dunno if they ever will be able to customize pets.
-
Touch of Lady Gray, IIRC
This about Mercs! Not NINJAS! -
No, no, Infernal-Americans are [Insert Witty Comment Here]
-
Actually, I don't know if they need it. If you slap on a few -Res Debuff Achilles' Heel enhancement on some of the pets, and possibly burst, too, Mercs can be killer.
-
Even if it can't be used in Praetoria, I suggest the VEATs, they're very flexible and have alot of variety, and are always good to team with with Tactical Training.
