  1. I'm pretty sure spines/electric will be on par with /fire in terms of toughness but compared to /dark I'm not sure.
  2. Bump for more eyes to help!

    DM/SD Build

    Here are some changes I made, I'd advise not running Tough unless you really need it otherwise you'll be sucking down endurance even faster.

  4. That would be great if you're going for a regeneration intensive build. You could easily get up to 850% passive regeneration with that combo. I wonder if you could get up to 1k% without making any serious sacrifices.......Hurry up and update Mid's!!!!
  5. That was very useful! Here is another revision that I made.

  6. I'd suggest going Fire instead of Dark for PvP, the DoT in incinerate helps break stalker's hide. You have build up as mentioned earlier.
  7. Slotting for damage would be, no pun intended, over kill on a fire/fire scrapper with build up and firey embrace you're sitting phat at 225% damage increase which is borderline full retard. I'd suggest going for positional defense and recharge.
  8. This is what I came up with for changes, I need someone to run the math to calculate my endurance use against my endurance recovery please?

    Actually that resistance enhancement is in place for the Gladiator's Armor: + 3% Defense enhancement.
  10. Okay so I need some help with this build, running SD > MG > Smite > SL > Smite and running Deflection, BG, Weave, Manuevers, and AAo is really draining my endurance bar. CP and DC aren't enough when solo'ing AVs. I've tried toggle juggling but it doesn't seem to help much. Assistance?

    Spend some time in the Market section asking for advice, you can make enough influence in 6 months time to slot superior enhancements in several characters! Do it do it

    If you'll excuse me, I'll be over here, playing my tiny violin.
    I don't follow, you still get to keep all of the secondary effects that electricity has, you're just maximizing it's strengths and minimizing it's weaknesses. How is losing its uniqueness? You still keep your resistance, while adding defense on to it?

    Anyway just to add, I focused on Regen>Recharge>Recover>Defense and it suits me just fine, you are never going to get WP numbers with a regen but honestly should you? You whole stigma is Regen to heal faster than you are damaged, so of course defense works well in there, but you shouldn't be wasting slots (excuse me sparing) on something that you are not physically blessed with. With 2409 HP healing at 177 hp/sec you are not gonna find to much that you cannot handle, of course that is pve..pvp whole diff monster...but just some of my opinion in it..All numbers mind you can be obtained without one single purple...*ahem* IE me toon. I like a challenge.
    No I understand completely where you are coming from.

    Also nothing really can hurt you with that kind of regeneration but the downtime between godlike and a lesser being is where defense helps with that. You can easily get 20% to all positions while slotting for recharge.
  17. Can you fix your build so I can open it?
  18. Claws/Electric comes to mind.

    O snap they have a no FX option for Regeneration!!!!!!

    Edit: Dark Regeneration looks wicked

    Just logged in, looking forward to getting rid of green regeneration.

    Edit: Kind of disappointed I can't get rid of yellow hasten.
  21. Great single target damage, AoE, and extremely rugged only if you spend a bit on invention sets.

    Dev Digest?

    Is there a temporary one some where on the forums?
  23. Jeeze someone gave me a demerit on my reputation for posting my build? Rough crowed.
