    I was disappointed to say the least. There is no way i can compete anymore with these ultra toons. Kudos to those that have all that stuff and took the time and effort to grind out the cash to buy all those fancy purple sets. Prices from 500-800 million for one recipe are no longer reachable. Maybe they could have a place where normal folks like myself can pvp on a casual basis.
    There is a point at which your skill will out weigh the amount that you spend on your build. Only after a few months/year will your build limit your ability.

    This is one the large disadvantages of having a closed beta or at least not informing the community of what incarnates are going to be like. Its like creating a car that no one knows about it and all you have are hopes and prayers that the public will receive it well. Instead of guessing how about just asking the community what they want out of incarnates?

    Yes granted there will be a lot of useless, unhelpful, unachievable, etc... posts but at least you will get a general idea.

    I'd rather they get it right the first time around.

    I'm not sure if there are any guides but I would definitely try to slot sets that include defense bonuses to melee type attacks as well as ones that give you a global recharge bonus.

Yet people continue to ascribe shocking amounts of meaning to those few data points.


    I'm so, so sorry Arcanaville.



    I'm going to throw in my vote for probability and statistics as a required high school course. Might help. Might not. But at least it's more useful for most people in day to day life than, say, calculus.
    I HATED that class, I'd much rather do Calculus than probability and statistics even though P&S is infinitely more useful. I know someone who is a master at P&S and uses his knowledge to play pick three number lottery's and wins at least a few hundred dollars a month lol.

    If you really want to have massive amounts of regeneration and recovery you could hit dull pain, instant healing, pop 18, yes 18 small break frees and then hit rest and you'll be at the regeneration cap lol.

    Even when you're not solo a Brute will have higher numbers than a Scrapper, but that is almost irrelevant because at a certain percentage the difference between having 500 and 600% damage buff will begin to not matter.

    Your build looks good I just made a few changes to Dark Regeneration in order to lower its massive endurance cost and decrease its recharge.
  13. Santorican
    I'm still not satisfied with the level of mitigation that my character has, I still have a lot of trouble fighting x8 +1 Malta. I like to use them as a gauge of toughness for my characters. Can anyone see anyway to raise my defense while keeping the recovery and recharge I currently have?
  14. Santorican
    I really wish I could fit CoF in my Spines/Dark build but I don't have enough slots for it to be really effective
  15. Santorican
    Yeah Mid's has been buggy lately, I've had a few instances where my defenses don't match up in game v.s. mid's.

    @ Vman,

    I took Sant's build as a starting point, and came up with this after much re-working. No PVP IOs. It's a better all-around build, but I used alot of HOs. It's soft-capped vs. all positions, has Siphon Life actually slotted for Heal, and unlike Sant's build, it can run the MG>Smite>SL>Smite attack chain. Sant's revision shorted MG's recharge. Hugely improved Acc even without SD running.

    It's regen is lower than the other builds, but with SL slotted for Heal, you'll actually be gaining much more regen in combat. Finally, it only runs 0.96 EPS usage without Grant Cover on. GC can be situationally toggled on for Romans and such. OK, there's more, but you can see all the improvements easier by looking at the build.

    Hope this helps.

    For you to be God mode good 90% of the time yes, it will take billions of influence in order to reach that. For you to be better than 75% of the games population will cost about 100 million.

    I took a deeper look at the first build and had to make a few changes for you to be at the defense cap for all three positions.

Then put 5/6 Heca in Midnight Grasp. Take one of the spots from Maneuvers and place it in Midnight Grasp with a recharge reduction. You will keep soft cap with this build and have about 10% more recharge and be able to use the Smite, Siphon Life, Smite, Midnight Grasp chain a lot smoother.

    My help is overrated

    Just a real quick dirty change to the first build to get your endurance under control. I'd really suggest getting the Accolades, at least the ones that increase your endurance they help so much.

    So now that I'm infamous I think I will go around snatching and eating babies and tripping old ladies who are crossing the street, muhahaha *strokes ebil mustache*

    I'd say go Fire/MM build for high recharge and high ranged defense and just kite in and out of melee. You won't really need to build so much for regen because you'll have drain psyche.

    You should sell superdyne to children and raise enough influence to buy the Gladiator's Defense unique!!!
