Both Vista and Win7 come with a built in screen capture program called "Snipping Tool" and is located under Accessories.


Unless you're trying to capture animation.

When i get home i'll see what i come up with in Mids' myself as well.

I go overboard with ACC i know. Most of my builds are like this, over 80% acc per power, 20% bonus or more, and a +6 to hit prog... in every build. My goals is always about 100% acc from enhancemtns and set bonuses and the +6 prog. I like having a 95% to hit chance on up to +4's. Back under the old SK rule set, i found myself mainly fighting +3 and +4 mobs whenever i'd team and TF. Granted... NOW, things are different... But old habits die hard.. heh.

I also tend to go insane with endurnace enhancemnets and bonuses, which will make foc ACC that much easeier to run. But as with all my builds, until i finish them, this is just a rough draft, and is subject to change as i accually PLAY the build.

Nukes... i enjoy nukes, but don't have to have them. I accually debaited this nuke alot. I figured since most all my toys stay around even when i crash, this build could pull a nuke off. My other builds that are more toggle heavy, go nukeless. I'll make a finial call on it once i can use it and see how annoying the crash accually is in game.

Your prog advice is PGT is intresting and i'll look into it. I notice PGT doesn't allow ACC enhancments. Does that mean it's auto hit?

Sirens call, is a great solo power, and i considered it, but in general i'm going to be teaming with his build, and i left it out. I may accually train it if i find myself soloing alot more then i figured on in the leveling up process. I love it on my blaster, after all, but think it's of more limited use in a teaming situation, and would respect it out of a lvl 50 build.

Acro, i took, because my build is more slot heavy then power heavy. So i was looking for some power choices that'd give me so good ingame benefits without a big slot investment. Acro is one of them. My knockback protection is covered now. No slots required. That's another reason i took focus ACC. 1 extra slot for the added acc. I could replace it with a travel knockback IO, but they are fairly expensive, and i'd have to think up another good power choice that doesn't use alot of slots to replace it, that fits my concept. I'm not saying i can't... and how knows, maybe one of my alts will roll that IO, and that'll make the disession for me. (happened with my AR/cold guy. He had acro too, then rolled a knockback travel IO, and i reworked his build as a result. heh.)

Good advice. I'll go back to Mids and see what i can make of it... Thanks.

Consider putting a Devastation proc in Mortar and a Lockdown proc in PGT. These two together will hold a lot of stuff, giving you more room to breathe and put down Trip Mine.

I'm not sure what your feeling is on nukes, but with Trip Mine and no easy way to mitigate the crash (Power Sink, CP) I would skip it. If you want to blow stuff apart Trip Mine does the job, without a crash. While the crash isn't so bad because Traps doesn't have a lot of toggles, I personally would skip the nuke.

Why Focused Accuracy? You've got good acc slotted in your powers as well as +39% from bonuses and its a huge end hog.

A friend of mine has a sonic/traps and swears by Sirens Song for laying down Trip Mine. Its a great power and Fortunata Hypnosis is a very cheap set. Even if you don't go for Fort Hyps, Call of the Sandman is also a great set.

Last thing, in the day and age of -kb IOs, why acrobatics? You've got 4 spots (ffg, Maneuvers, Scorpion and cj) to put Karmas in. Acrobatics is a huge end hog and not really needed unless you want the high protection for pvp.
