    I don't know how I would survive multiple AVs or 12 bosses wailing on me at the same time without aid self. Defense is kind of 1-0 in those situations, when you get hit, you need to heal back up to 100% before a second hit lands on you, and siphon life usually does not allow me to go from 20% hp to 100% in 6 seconds.

    Basically, If I could build this toon, I would transfer over all the IOs from my DM/SR that has all those requirements (much much easier to do). God knows he would not survive without Aid Self in those situations. I doubt the few points of resistance you are going to get extra from SD is going to make a difference when you're getting hit for 70% of your hp bar. SD looks very sexy due to AAO + SD.

    Trouble is, looks like I DO have to give up a few things when making the same build in SD, aid self looks like one of them, but even without it, I can't seem to make 45% def M/R/A AND have permahasten+permaish soul drain. It was possible before the BotZ Change but now it looks like it went the way of the dodo.

    Since I am usually amazed at the tricks people pull with slotting, I thought I'd put it up as food for thought to the build-fu-master-shifu's out there. =)


    PS: If I were to drop aid self, I can get the build to where I want it but I'm not happy with the slotting of tough and dont like not having grant cover. Plus SD recharges at 35 seconds.
    I've never had an issue with my Dark/Shield getting nuked by an AV and his crew. The only time my dark/shield has ever died is when doing the RWZ challenge with 10 +4 bosses and a Rikti Pylon.

    Yeah I haven't been able to play any of my characters except my PvP toon due to most of them having about 75% of their enhancement slots empty due to respecing lol.
  6. Santorican
    Lol you're going to cry tears of blood if you don't have stamina on a dark/shield. Dark Consumption won't be up enough to help you.

    I need about 20 enzyme exposures anyone have any for sale?!

    You don't need aid self for dark/shield
  9. Santorican
    LOL

    Well I don't have many characters, only 7, and 3 of which I only play, and I marketeer a lot, and I saved and hoarded a lot of purples when they were 40 million a piece cheap lol. So my builditis makes up for my utter lack of altitis.

    I'm also considering picking up another gladiator + defense but I'm not sure on what the prices are like now so we'll see after WW comes back online.
  11. Santorican
    Okay I figured I'd just make another thread for my Spines/Dark Scrapper as I have a severe case of builditits and I'm always changing it at least once every 2 months. Here is the latest incarnation of my build.

    It doesn't have a travel power because I hate the way all of them look and I'd rather just use NR if I really need to go some where.

    Its focus is melee defense, recovery, and recharge.

    I figured I don't need to focus much on passive regeneration due to dark regenerations massive healing abilities.

    I'm really considering not taking Hasten as well because of its endurance crash, and as most know that endurance is a precious commodity on a spines/dark. Damn you end hog!

    I'm considering picking Maneuvers for some more defense but I'd like to figure out the calculations of adding another toggle vs. the endurance crash of Hasten and whether or not that extra defense will be worth the loss in recharge.

    Without further ado here is my build

    Why do you need Aid Self? You have Siphone Life which is an excelllent heal as well as a great attack. Feel free to paruouse through http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=192252 thread as there are very many builds to choose from. Most of the updated ones are in the last pages of the thread.

    Does anyone have any PvP IOs for sale? I'm looking for pretty much every set. Please pm any offers or feel free to post them here.
  15. Santorican
    How much are you looking to sell it for?
  16. Santorican
    Bump for help with my build!!!
  17. Santorican
    Are you using it in a group or just shooting it off with no enemy in range? I remember reading that you have to have your first shot hit something in order for the defense to actually activate. not sure though

    We're all poor shhh!

    Why? For flash, for more bang for the buck, for taking 2.57s to cast within 40 feet of your target. Bitter Ice Blast in comparison has 10 feet more range, slightly more damage, and 1s less cast time along with it's own attached secondary effect.

    But I'm not saying it's horrible, I'm only saying I'd like to see "Executed" over enemy's heads and a bigger chunk of damage. I'm also not going to say that would be balanced lol.
    Please don't compare anything to BiB or Blaze because whoever made those two powers was smoking crack. Babs stated a while back that BiB is not a normal Tier 3 blast lol.
  20. Santorican
    This game's numbers would make an OCD person go into a convulsion. Where do you get a number like 3.63 from lol? Why not 3.65 or 3.60? lol

    Claws/Regen build

    POST-ACTION

    Just made a few quick changes to add some defense to your build. It also has a lot of endurance recovery and passive regeneration so I moved some slots from stamina and fast healing.
