    Yeah they did lol. It went from being really good to being plaid. Its just stupidly powerful now lol.

    I'd look toward Invul, WP, Regeneration, and Shields. Katana/Regeneration is capable of amazing feats when properly slotted.
  3. Santorican
    I think I found it, in game it isn't counting the second enzyme exposure to DDR? Is this some sort of bug?
  4. Santorican
    Okay there is some problem. Mid's is showing that BA gives me a 26.9% DDR buff but in game its a 22.3% what gives? I have the same slotting.

    I'm thinking I might take a hit to my regeneration and keep the recharge. A 48% decrease in regeneration only means I will lose 4hp/sec and considering that Siphon Life is a much larger source of regeneration/healing I'd rather have that up more often.

    Right now I'm sitting at 86% DDR, I need to get to 95%. Any suggestions?
  8. Santorican
    How would this differentiate between a regular raid? I'd love if they turned it into a TF where you had to sabotage the mother ship and save the day!

    I had energy torrent at one time, and it was great for keeping alpha off of you but I figured with good melee and ranged positional defense I won't need it so I dropped it and went for defense and recharge.
  11. Santorican
    Why not just you know save up and work the market to get the influence?
  12. Santorican

    What is "FAT"?

    I can't even count how many iteration of builds I've made for my dark/shield. I'm so finicky, one moment I'll want a cheese load of AoE the next it will be super survivability. I THINK I'll be happy with this one. We'll see haha
  14. Santorican
    I think I spend more influence in respec recipes then I do on what I'm changing lol
  15. Santorican
    That shield charge needs to be hit with a nerf bat hard? lol
  16. Santorican
    But would it be better to slot 1 Endurance Modification into PP then slotting a PS Proc into PP?
  17. Santorican
    Here is a good thread talking about the numbers in Stamina

Your Ranged Def is technically not soft-capped and is at 44.99%, which combined with your 72.6% DDR could result in some issues, rare though they might be. I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to this and I shoot for 95% DDR, but ymmv. You could lose the LotG: Defense in Battle Agility for an Enzyme Exposure - you'd lose 10% regen, but you're Ranged Def would be at 45.12%.

    The other thing I'd move for an improvement is swap the Numina's unique and the Miracle unique. This leaves you with the same Recovery, but boosts your regen 23% since the Numina's will benefit from True Grit's Heal enhancement. I took my own advice and tweaked my build. Also moved the Perf Shifter set to Stamina like yours for more recovery...not sure why I didn't do this previously, except maybe I was tired. Also, you could throw a Celerity:+Stealth in Sprint for the ability to stealth missions.

    I *really* wish Mids would average in the +End you get from the Performance Shifter proc. I'm not sure if it or the Miracle unique actually contributes more end recovery, and this is muddled even further if you consider that the Miracle unique's +Recovery, when placed in Physical Perfection, could be enhanced by replacing the Performance Shifter proc with a standard End Mod IO.

    Looking at the numbers in your build Santorican, if you replace the Perf Shifter proc in Physical Perfection with a level 50 End Mod IO, you're looking at 4.01 end/sec.... which might be more effective recovery than having 3.79 end/sec + Perf Shifter proc. I need Umbral or another numbers guy to look into the permutations of this - hopefully one of them will read this post.
    Wouldn't my DDR be higher when AD stacks?

    Wow that build is great! I changed it a bit, I added 5 pieces from the Panacea set in TG to give me more endurance recovery, regeneration, +hp, and recharge. It pays to buy stuff and horde it when its cheap lol. I got that whole set for less then a billion back when PvP enhancements were cheap(relatively)

    Damage output

    POST-ACTION

    I wish people would stop using shields as a comparison for damage output, it is an anomoly in this game that needs to be rectified. Shield Charge on a Scrapper does ridiculous amounts of AoE damage.

    I agree that Blasters are weak, but that is what they do, they're glass cannons. They can do a crap load of damage, but one nice punch to the jaw and its lights out. With Inventions, well thats another elephant do deal with.

    Do I think Blasters need a buff? No, I like mine the way they are.

I have never heard competent speedrunners say "STF forming, need a stone tank, emp, rad, sonic and FF".
    I'd rather spend 20 minutes forming a team and blow through a ITF in an hour than spend 2 hours with an average team.
  23. Santorican
    Okay losing my mind, I'm trying to squeeze out as much recharge out of this build as possible while having 95% DDR, good regeneration(around 250%) and recovery (above 170%), low endurance usage (below .9) , and capped defenses...
