  1. Thanks for the info and link. Will take some tweaking, definitely, but I think it looks do-able initially. Will post something up this evening or (more likely) tomorrow.
  2. Thanks, I'll take a look for the post. If you happen to find the actual link, would love to have it.
  3. After receiving some tips from a trusted advisor, I made some tweaks. This gives me no slots left over. Obviously, pre-i19. Feedback welcome and desired.

  4. Coming up on 50 on my (currently) DDDD and looking to give him some new life. My playstyle would by controllerish, usually on teams, but I'd like to have the option of damage too. Went Psychic this time around because I could see the confuse being handy... if I can get it slotted.

    In the build below, I like where I'm headed, but even pre-i19 I'm going to be short on slots and only have 6 left. I'm 99% set on the powers I've selected (pre-41)... including keeping Blackstar

    Would welcome comments, questions, etc. I'm not the best at IO'ing, so I'm sure there's much room for improvement.

    Thanks!

    One of the things I like about Hot Feet is I can just leave it on and it does its stuff.

    I'll consider the Consume change, but since I will retire this character at 50, I don't imagine I will get much if any use out of Consume no matter how I slot it.
    Was curious how this build was treating you. Recently rolled up a fire/fire myself and thought I might use this as a baseline.

    Thoughts on how things are going would be great.
  7. So I've been running this update for a bit, all slotted except for a couple of the Recharges, and I'm digging it for the most part. Playstyle-wise, however, I find I *really* miss Soul Tentacles.

    Post-i19, assuming inherent fitness looks anything like I think it should it my head, I could definitely see borrowing a slot from Tar Patch and two from HT to give me the ability to 4-slot Tentacles with Enfeebled Operations, or if I pull a slot from Thugs and slot with an HO instead, going with 5 slots of Gravitational Anchor for some additional cheap-recharge and immob.

    Comments always are welcome.
  8. Thanks for the info. I went ahead and put a -Recharge Proc in HT to see how it looked. I've updated GW as well.

  9. So I'm back around to revisitng this (saw a squirrel). Here's my translation of what you said, Tzu.

    Gaps/Notes:
    • Ended up w/ 3 extra slots. Dropped 2 into HT, and 1 into Tar Patch.
    • Slotting thoughts for Gang War? Currently 6 slotted but blank. 6 Slot Expedite Reinforcement perhaps?
    • Recommended Gaussaian IO's?

    Thoughts?

    And as always, thanks!
  10. So, I've got a DM/NIN stalled at 47, just ran out of "fun" for him. But, looking to finish him up and may take him blueside for something different.

    One thing I'm trying to do is keep it as "affordable" as possible based on what he already had. Would you consider a 3rd set of ToD in Shadow Maul acceptable to replace the Multi-Strike? He's already 6-slotted w/ 3 sets, figured I'd avoid changing this unless there's a reason you can think of? I relalize it won't make a huge $ difference, but sometimes every bit counts.

    Thanks!

    Thanks in advance!

It is also a bit unconventional in that I took Hover, but Stalagmites requires that you be on the ground. But, I wanted perma-hasten and I had to have hover for concept. You could easily drop Hover and take O2 boost instead, and then use the 2 slots from Hasten somewhere else. I also went with the Fire Epic (Ice or Earth would be superior for Earth/Storm overall) because she is based on my old D&D sorceress, and so she has to have Fireball for concept.
    Would you be willing to put something up that shows an Ice or Earth Epic? I'm currently using Fire (and have playing tastes quite similar to yours), so I'm curious what you'd do in those cases. I'd like to work in CJ instead of SS, and O2... last? Something along those lines.

    Thanks!
  12. Did some inventory analysis last night, think I've got a plan. Went ahead and planned for Lockdowns, although they'll be GW's initially. The plan is to respec tonight, so feedback is welcome.

    Thanks again!

  13. Maybe it is because I started as a controller, but I see a lot of use in a targeted AOE hold (and much moreso than an immob, but that could be a playstyle thing as well). Sleep? Not so much and is dropable.

    Respec'ing again isn't too much of a worry right now, as I have a few saved up, and they always give more. But, I wouldn't want to respec just to add a slot to one power, either.

    Here's a rough game plan/objective. Trying to leverage some of what I know I have already in storage, etc.

    Had the chance to break the dom out lately, and I can see where Spirit Tree is limited in usefulness. Taking your feedback, I've put together another build (below) that has a few slots "free" (reallocatable) still. Would love suggestions on how to proceed with him.

    Couple of questions/notes along the way:
    1) I put the range in Darts for a pull mechanism. Has always worked for me, but I'm not opposed to losing them.
    2) I find a good bit of value in Aid Self, but I'm wondering if my Health Slotting should also change to (short term) 3 healths, then (long term) the numina/miracle combo?
    3) 3 Slots for hasten seems to make sense to me and I dropped some off of aim, so wanted to see the general consensus. Is Aim considered still valuable post-changes?
    4) If I'm not worried about reusing IO's, what could/should be different?

    Thanks again!

  15. For me, I'd say the recharge path with Energize ready to fire makes sense. I've got 3 sets of ToD I can pull from a Stalker I just don't care to play anymore. Patron wise, I'd prefer to avoid Dark since I'm about Dark'd out with other characters, although I'm sure with a decent argument I could be convinced to reconsider.

    Also, I'm a pet junkie. If there's a a way to work in the PPP pet, all the better. May not be practical, but I wanted to throw it out there. In re-analyzing some old builds of mine, I see where I took powers I just don't use so I could have the pet, so I don't want to brute force it in there.

    Thanks again!
  16. I've got a level 28 (highest I've taken a brute ever) WM/Elec Brute going that I'm really enjoying, but I haven't had a lot of luck in finding information for a leveling build and a final build.

    Does anyone have links they'd consider relevant for this combination? I'm happy to post my build for critique, but since I know I'm just making it up as I go right now (and having fun), I thought I'd try this approach first.

    Thanks in advance!
  17. I've been discussing the build with a friend I run with, and it almost seems like 2 builds to serve my purposes... 1 for teaming and 1 for not. Would allow for the removal of tree, minimize slotting of Aid Self, etc... but maybe put something together with those powers as well.

    Thanks for the thoughts... need to ponder.
  18. As I've posted in a few other AT threads, I took about a 2 year break from the game and recently decided to come back. I've been revising a few of my 50's and I'd like to give this Dom a shot as well.

    Here are my "goals":

    - Self-Sufficient as possible (really prefer to have the ability to heal on the fly) as I solo and team play with any character I have
    - Not uber-expensive, at least not right now (maybe 200-300m?). If this works nicely, will consider investing more if needed.
    - Would like to keep a PPP Pet of some sort
    - Not shooting for Perma, but would like for things to flow as naturally as possible
    - Wouldn't mind working in Thorntrops, but didn't like Barrage when I had it b/c of the range of the power

    I know a fair amount of the slotting is suspect. Truthfully I was close to taking a break at this point and "just wanted" to get him to 50.

    Thanks in advance for your time and comments!

    Ran through this tonight and really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting the suggestion!
  20. So I've been digging around a bit, and this build seems to have some potential. I'd love to hear any thoughts or comments.

    Here's the Mid's Link from that post

    Thanks!
  21. Greetings All!

    I've been away about 1.5 years but recently returned to the game. I've got a 50 Sonic/Rad Corr that I enjoy, but I suspect he needs some changes as the game has evolved.

    Here are a few notes I'd like to throw out there as part of a redo:


    1) I find myself soloing a fair amount, but not exclusively, so I'm looking for fun + resiliency. I'm sure some of my slotting my be archaic. Be gentle.

    2) I've tried to be as accurate as I can w/ my IO's. The level may be slightly different, but the IO's themselves are correct.

    3) This is my best guess as to power levels and when they were taken. Seems right from memory, but might not be 100% correct. The overall build is correct though.

    4) I'd love to have a another attack in the mix, but I don't know if it is possible. I'm not a mix/max guy, just want to have fun and survive.

    5) Thanks in advance for your time, thoughts, etc!

  22. Greetings All!

    I've been away about 1.5 years but recently returned to the game. I've got a 50 Thugs/Dark MM that I thoroughly enjoy, but I suspect he needs some changes as the game has evolved.

    Here are a few notes I'd like to throw out there as part of a redo:

    1) Love the AE content thus far, but would like more to do. A fair chunk of missions seem to have a level 20 cap, which really limits my powers. Working a pistol attack into this range would be nice, but may not be ideal.

    2) I find myself soloing a fair amount, but not exclusively, so I'm looking for fun + resiliency. I'm sure some of my slotting my be archaic. Be gentle.

    3) I've tried to be as accurate as I can w/ my IO's. The level may be slightly different, but the IO's themselves are correct.

    4) This is my best guess as to power levels and when they were taken. Seems right from memory, but might not be 100% correct. The overall build is correct though.

    5) I'd love to have a second pistol attack in the mix, but I don't know if it is possible. I know it isn't ideal, but I'm not a mix/max guy. Fun + resiliency.

    6) Thanks in advance for your time, thoughts, etc!

  23. Thanks again for the input, Siphon. Here's what I'm trying to put together from a slotting perspective up to around 41.

    Slot[01] Level 1 (Starting Primary) : Transfusion /Heal,Heal,Heal,Rchg,Rchg
    Slot[02] Level 1 (Starting Secondary) : Charged Bolts /Dmg
    Slot[03] Level 2 : Lightning Bolt /Dmg,Dmg,Dmg,Dmg,Dmg
    Slot[04] Level 4 : Ball Lightning /Dmg,Dmg,Dmg,Dmg,Dmg
    Slot[05] Level 6 : Hasten /Rchg,Rchg,Rchg,Rchg,Rchg,Rchg
    Slot[06] Level 8 : Increase Density /EndRdx
    Slot[07] Level 10 : Short Circuit /EndDrn,EndDrn,EndDrn,EndDrn,EndDrn,EndDrn
    Slot[08] Level 12 : Siphon Power /Rchg,Rchg,EndRdx
    Slot[09] Level 14 : Super Speed /EndRdx
    Slot[10] Level 16 : Hurdle /Jump
    Slot[11] Level 18 : Swift /Run
    Slot[12] Level 20 : Stamina /EndRec,EndRec,EndRec,EndRec,EndRec,EndRec
    Slot[13] Level 22 : Speed Boost /EndRec
    Slot[14] Level 24 : Maneuvers /EndRdx,DefBuf,DefBuf,DefBuf,DefBuf,DefBuf
    Slot[15] Level 26 : Transference /EndRec,EndRec,EndRec
    Slot[16] Level 28 : Tactics /EndRdx,HitBuf,HitBuf,HitBuf,HitBuf,HitBuf
    Slot[17] Level 30 : Hover /EndRdx,Fly,Fly,Fly,Fly,Fly
    Slot[18] Level 32 : Fulcrum Shift /Rchg,Rchg
    Slot[19] Level 35 : Fly /Fly,Fly,Fly
    Slot[20] Level 38 : Thunderous Blast /Rchg

    My slots may need some some adjustments in priority as well, but there is one thought I've definitely got...

    With Speed Boost, if I have spots later in the build, I'm happy to help people out more with more EndRec's. However, I just don't view it as a priority over making myself more capable. End mgmt hasn't been an issue typically with the groups I've fought with, so I feel this will be okay for now. I feel like Kinetics is really a more melee-friendly powerset, so most people get the Endboost Love from Transference as well.

    Comments are welcome from all
  24. Thanks for the comments, Syphon. Joules is already 33, so I was working Speed Boost in there to have it available, and less to have it available optimally. I typically am SK'd, rarely do I RSK (not that I'm opposed to it), so I don't think this will bite me too hard. I'm certainly open to moving it if there's a need. My only real "regret" in following Quason's V1 guide was not taking SS before SB.

    Ideally, I'd like to have the option to be more solo-able, but don't feel like Joules has that ability much currently. I followed Quason's V1 guide through 32, and while I feel solid as a defender, I don't feel solid as an offensive tool (no matter the group level). I end up teaming a lot with some higher levels (49/50) in small groups, but I *rarely* run missions by myself anymore. However, this mentality was pre-FS, so perhaps things have changed.

    Just some overall thoughts. It's hard to provide advice since I'm not positive how you want to play the character, for the most part - solo or teamed. That decision really impacts a lot of design choices.

    I'm typically a team player, but I aspire for some degree of self-sufficiency as well. My current team tactic is something like this:

    (while Stealthed and using SS)
    run into middle of mob
    drop stealth
    Short Circuit
    FS
    Let the team clean up

    One concern I have in choosing the leadership pool vs. concealment, and having Tactics instead of Stealth... will my strategy have to change? In switching to a 3d mindset, won't I have to be low enough for SC to hit the mobs, and thus be vulnerable to attack sooner? I'm not opposed to this, I just need to see what a good strategy would be.

    Later in the game, however, when the Shard makes an appearance, you will want Flight to get around in there.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've yet to visit The Shard. There are certain maps now where I find myself frustrated by the lack of vertical movement tho', so I think Flight may become a necessity. Is Flight for the Shard used strictly for navigation? Or combat as well?

    I'm just not sure how my strategy will look if I drop Stealth. It seems like such a valuable part of an Elec build.
