well i answered my question, you were right about the rech (so theory 2 was right) which changes quite a bit about my build

im very angry at myself because i typed this whole long thing then hit backspace and went back a page >

anyway, your edit thingy raises i question i have had about recharge. You see i have always considered higher recharge to decrease recharge time, while i have heard others (and what you are saying) say that higher recharge accelerates recharge. They are very similar but the difference is what happens when the power drops. My theory says that when the power drops, the rech time will go back to what was before the power was active. The other theory says that the power will keep what it has gained.

a simplification is to think of two cars racing, for one car hasten decrease the length of the track (while hasten is active) and for the other hasten accelerates the car. If hasten drops before the 1st car reaches the end, it will have gained nothing from hasten. But the 2nd car doesnt lose distance it gained from the acceleration, so it will be just as close to the end before and after hasten dropped

as of right now i am not sure which theory is correct, if the first one is correct, then then the 2 seconds matter, if the 2nd one is correct, the 2 seconds deosnt matter

im not totally sure what your referring to in a few things you said, but first im not sure why you are arguing against taking power boost. thats not something im even considering removing, its three slots for almost 15% defense. thats.. yea im not taking that out.

some of the things im not sure your referring to are:

"So why have that many slots in two different things when both achieve the exact same outcome of soft cap defense."- what two different things are you referring to?

i think you are referring to stealth and power boost, and if you are you are mistaken because having or the other does not achieve softcap. having powerboost off with stealth on (even with the halved number) is FAR below softcap. and powerboost with stealth (with not an extra kin combat) falls short by 2.1 def.

the difference between 119 and 121 is perma hasten. when hasten gets 1 second away from rech, hasten drops. that takes away 70% rech time, increasing the rech of hasten to 150. thats a 30 sec drop time, in which all my powers lose 70% rech. thats not academic

and without stealth up, im at 42.9%. adding a kin combat in power thrust would give me softcapped without stealth, but then i would lose 5% rech. i could remove the two end slots from stealth, along with tough (which i was planning to do) which would give me the slots necessary to slot up build up to get the 5% rech back.

so with your suggestions, the main point is to not run stealth to decrease end consumption, and to give build 4 more seconds rech, correct?

well, you must not have looked at the rech time for hasten. with your build it is not perma because you have the law of 5 with the adjusted targeting in aim. and again, there is no need for the 2nd set of kin combats. stealth gives 3.406 defense.

Squishor8
1. putting another rech IO in bu/aim only decreases each rech by 3 seconds
2. having the fourth slot in hasten gives me perma hasten
3. stealth gives 3.406 def with PB on, so no its not just a mule, i will be keeping it on all the time
4. if you actually look at the build you will see that im not only one set away from softcap, im one set away from softcap WITH powerboost up (softcap is achieved with stealth, also, the number mids gives for stealths defense is twice what it really is in combat)

roderick1
1. im not completely sure what you mean here? having that enabled doesnt affect the percentages you see anyway, i can post a new one with it up but its not all that important imo

silencer
1. the point of 6th slots on fireball and blaze is to get them closer to 100% damage, reduce end cost, and increase recharge time. As i understand it, the closer a power is 100%, the more the alpha slot can subject to un-ed'd numbers. i could be wrong tho.
2. thats a good point that i will consider
3. as said earlier, that two seconds gives me perma hasten, where another slot in build up takes off 3 seconds. so its actually less recharge for build up in the long run.
4. six slotting stam gives me 5% rech needed for perma haste

and yes, power boost is to boost the affects of all my defensive powers

alright so here the build i have planned for my fire/em blast, it will use the musculature incarnate ability, have perma hasten, and have capped s/l defense (using power boost) with a 1 second down time

well alright, thank you very much for the information

alright thank you for your information

see that (probably) thing you said is what gets me. i know rank (boss, eb, av) has an affect, but no one seems to know if level has an affect. i wish someone would post a place to find solid information rather than speculation, not that im accusing any of the responders to this as purely speculative, i do appreciate your feedback. But does anyone know where this information might actually be located?

ehh im not talking about solo vs team, im talking level comparison of player to enemy. someone claimed that being 50+1 reduced your chances of getting shards (for the same amount of enemies killed). Then another person claimed that shifting the difficulty +1 will even out the chance. so that leads me to believe levels have an affect on the chance to drop. but those are the only two people i have ever seen say that, and that claim goes directly against what i have been told by everyone else (that all enemies 50+ have the same chance to drop)

OH that reminds me, if anyone DOES know where I can find solid info, i would greatly appreciate them telling me

i have not done any testing on this, and i asked around and got mixed answers. some say it does affect and others say it doesnt. although for some reason no one has been able to show me to any actual information on the matter ><

thank you for your responses

is the chance that a shard will drop affected by the level of enemy compared to the level of the player?

question: Theoretically, will a taskforce (in which roughly the same amount of enemies are defeated), facing the same level of enemies before and after level shift, drop the same number of shards?

example: two of the same tf run at the same difficultly (level 50 enemies), one character is level 50, one is level 50+1. will the level 50 get more shards? or will they both get the same?

example2: Will a level 50 player get the same number of shards from a tf set to +0 as they will set to +4 (assuming the same number of enemies are defeated)

here is my build

could anyone show me a fire/nrg or fire/mental build that caps to ranged?

and the main reason i was planning on s/l is because i planned to utilize the 3 melee attacks from nrg

i am not going to let one enemy type affect my choice of build, i barely ever fight malta anyway. i am not really talking about s/l vs ranged right now, my question is, should i bother making my blaster survivable? people i know in game keep telling me no, go for dmg rech.

the build i have for my blast is s/l softcapped with 140% rech, i think thats more than enough rech?

the build i have is for a fire/energy blast, and it is softcapped to s/l defense. Does anyone believe this is necessary or even worth it? some people i have talked to say that "your just a blaster, slot of damage and recharge."

What are your opinions?
