    I was requested to make a universal Wp/Fm build thats solid Vs. all types of dmg. I wish IO's let us build up resistance like we can with defense but alas we can not. If anyone else see's any glearing holes or mistakes I made your opinions and input are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Well I tried playing around with yours a bit and I kinda just gave up and started over from scratch. Personally I feel there are 3 ways to IO a fire brute.

    1. Super high recharge build (Kill them before they kill you and a lightning fast recharge of a heal)

    2. Smash/Lethel/Melee defense build (those two damage types and one positional defense are your best bet to try and reach caps with. Most bang for your buck.)

    3. Combo build (Something kinda in the middle of those two above. Your milage may vary)

    I myself have a #1 that I farm with and I eat purple skittles like a fat kid eats cake. If I were to do a second build this is how I'd go below.

    Again, that's for a MM and you're asking on the Def forums, but I'm willing venture that it's the same across ATs, that PB has NO effect on FFG.


    Thanks, I was pretty sure it wouldn't but I just happened to notice today in Mid's it was showing an effect.

    Well you could be a bit more specific about what your looking for and willing to spend. Here is a defense capped Trap/Sonic i19 build. You have 3 power choices and 7 slots left over here. Two of those slots should go in Stamina. Enjoy

    My mid's is showing "Power Boost" and "Power Build Up" effect Forcefield Generator. Anyone ever test this in game?
  6. Tatum
    I like to think its because in Dark Mastery, soul drain is a tier3 power. Soul Mastery has more utillity and the inclusion of power boost. Hence Soul mastery having the longer recharge.
  7. Tatum
    Are we the only ones getting this? because it seriously kills me atleast once a day. I'm starting to notice everything getting wiped out when rage crashes sometimes. I get pretty damn cranky when a Giant Luck dissapares 5seconds after eating it.
  8. Tatum
    The "Soul Drain" in the Soul Mastery set has a different recharge timer. Where as in Dark Mastery the power can be made almost perma buffing your dmg and To-Hit. You have to ask yourself are you willing to pass that up in order to get Power Boost? I wouldn't
  9. Tatum
    -I'd ditch the two 7.5% run speeds for the 4th LotG's giving you another 18%acc. You have stealth IO in superspeed so if your stealthing a mission or toebombing I assume you have SS running in which case a extra 15%run speed is pointless.

    -I know your DPS is best with that single attack and it might be the way to go as a 2nd build. However someone correct me if I'm wrong but the -resistance from the same attack doesnt stack right? So you'd want to stack -resistance from a few different attacks than spam Shriek? I might be totally wrong on this not sure....

    -I have no idea where you'd pull slots from but slotting Web Granade for Immoblization pays off when your trying to stack it and attacka at the same time. Maybe underslot something else and see if you can fit the purple Immoblization set in or the Enfeebled for its set bonuses.

    -I like your build yet again is shows a different way to soft capping defense Vs. all than the route I usally go. Make a note of this though. I say it all the time carry purple lucks to fight off defense debuffs to ward off a cascade failure. Now look at your build in Mid's and toggle off Scorpion Shield. Your capped to everything already and using lucks like I just mentioned why not try out a different PPP or APP with a +Resistance Shield. I think you'll get better results from that. Having layered Armor is always the way to go if you can +Def, +Res, +Regen, -Dmg, -to-hit.
  10. Tatum
    Still happening to me on a daily basis. Just killed me in a AE mission all insps dropped right after eating them. Any word on this?
  11. Tatum
    As far as I know its that the Bots can deal thier dmg at range while you use Traps to otherwise immoble or keep the AV/Hardtarget at bay. Demons like to melee and AV's tend to hit pretty hard up close

    Also a question on shotgun. How do you manage the knock back in a group environment?
    Targeting the mob in back works great but the best thing you can do is just get used to the range. Head over to a low level zone and practice on green/grey mobs. As with any KB power try and do things like..... Aim at walls, let the rest of the team unload the major AoE's 1st, use your Shotgun to clean up, or sometimes even back up more than you need and use Shotgun to knock mobs back into the pile that have advanced on you farther than you'd like. Also once you hit the higher lvls fighting +3/+4 mobs your Knockback will turn into knockdown. I personally have Buckshot and M30 granade in my build, Buckshot is definatly the easier one to use and manage.

    Traps/Ar

    POST-ACTION

    Trap/AR will really open up alot next issue allowing us to move up 3 key powers into the teens and twentys without having to jam fitness into the mix. If you plan on team lots I'd say focus on being a Trapper and forgo some of your offense. If you have access to Ninja Run or dont mind making due with Temp travel powers I'd do this build below. The differance between lvl30 IO's and lvl50 really isnt much and will make you more exemplar friendly when dropping down to run TF's. Start bidding low for some of these IO sets now and start slotting once you hit lvl27.


    Note: In this build your starting to get closer to the defense cap but still have a ways to go. For the most part 1 small purple luck inspiration will cap you Vs most of the attacks so I'd recommend you stop occasionally at a AE bldg/ Arena/ Contact and fill your tray with small lucks.

    I have all my trap powers except for the last two.

    Running Leadership and combat jumping as well.
    Ok gimmi a few min's and I'll work one up. Is a /respec out of the question? I feel you'd be better served with taking the fighting pool 1st before you take leadership. I myself am putting Leadership off till issue19 when we get the fitness pool as an inherent.
  15. Tatum
    I'm just getting around to watching your other video now I'll check this one out next. Just wanted to say I recently ran a STF with a second trapper on the team and we bum rushed all the AV's too. Good times.

    I'm in no way knocking the awesomeness of a D3 (Dark/Dark/Dark). However personally I feel if you want a defender that can truely "Tank" you should really go with Forcefield, Sonic, or Traps as your primary. I say this because even making a build with capped defense and throwing out the massive -to-hit that Dark can, you will eventully still get mezzed and once you do.....game over. I suppose instead of carrying Lucks to fight off defense debuffs, one could carry a tray full of breakfrees. However that could lead to defense cascade failure. Having a mez protection shield is the way to go. It just closes up that big hole that you no longer need to worry about.

    I have read that there are some IOs that you can get at 30 that are pretty good. Still kind of new so the set things are still pretty confusing.

    I have seen some builds by Tantum but not sure how or if I could make these work at 30 or if there are parts of them I could make work.

    Thanks again.
    I can work a build up for you but I need to know are you level locking at 30? Or do you just want a lvl30 working build to continue leveling? I say this because I'll slightly overslot some powers if your locking into level 30 in order to max enhancements. Otherwise I can just show you a toned down version of a defense capped Trap/AR build and show you what to work for slowly as you level. Also need to know do you plan to solo mostly? team? or both?

    Dark Tanks

    POST-ACTION

    With the changes coming to the end game content that I think are coming. Defense softcapping is not what I think is needed. Its the combination of Resistance/Defense/Utillity that Dark offers that I think will make it shine. To make the game more "challenging" I have a feeling we will be seeing ALOT more +to-hit, +acc, powers from enemies not to mention some auto-hit stuff. I'm currently working on a Dark Armor project myself. We shall see......
  19. Tatum
    Triage Beacon shines in a high recharge build when you can get 2 of them out. However even if you go the route of high recharge rather than fully soft-capping your defense's Fire/Trap is one of the combo's I'd still suggest skipping it, since your dealing such high damage. I'd pretty much echo Candlestick. Skip Triage, Time Bomb, maybe Aim.

    Questions:

    - How much you looking to spend?

    - Whats your playstyle? (would you rather have good offense w/ great defense) or (less defense for more Offense)

    I did a respec and went with Electric mastery and picked up power sink. If I wasn't so lazy I would have went villain to pick up Mu Mastery which I think might be a bit better because you can pick up the Mu pet and have Power sink at the begining.

    I don't know what some might think is better an AOE attack which you have available all the time or a pet on a timer. But a good pet from what people say about it sometimes..

    Either way I purposely drained my end just to see how Power Sink worked. Without a doubt working as intended and expected. Instead of making blues now with my inspirations I can make Reds to boost my DPS. Pretty much before all I was doing was making blues or slowing down my attack chain because I was low on end.

    I also put a hold proc in the Power sink. Again Working well, it is similar to the poison trap proc just 10% instead of 15%.

    I don't know if Poison Trap and Power sink hold procs can stack. And if they did what exactly would stacking them do to help me out.

    At this time I can't think of anything bad about the build. Solo you get 30% damage increase. A lowest level red inspiration gives you a damage increase of 25%, so total your getting 55% damage increase when solo.

    I was wondering how your end consumption would be. WoC is a bit of a endurance piggy and Flamethrower is......well........a hog. All the holds do stack. I run the Devastation hold Proc in acid mortor and I've seen them combine with an ice blaster on my team to hold an AV for a few seconds at a time.

    Smart slotting is your best bet rather than trying to play catch up with set bonuses to adjust your end usage. I'd go for the Power Mastery APP, it gives you a solid resistance shield and Power Build Up which when coupled with the small bubbles is some seriously over the top Defense Buffs.

    I used a bad example in my original posts. The Trap/AR character I had refered to with the high global accuracy and recharge build really doesnt need anymore dmg. He's able to handle +1x8 aggro capped ambush AE missions already. Whats intresting is thier are quite a few, more utillity focused, low dmg defender combinations. For instance I have a team oriented Trap/Dark toon where for set bonus and build reasons the only AoE thats slotted for dmg is Nightfall. Between the dmg procs in: Poison Trap, Caltrops, Acid Mortar, and Torrent. I'd say the proc's contribute to 70-80% of the dmg this character does on teams Vs Large grouped mobs. I had orignaly planned to go Psi APP anyways and it seems like this might conceptully be a way of adding more AoE dmg.

That's 720 damage in 4 seconds, or 180 DPS at level 50.

    By comparison, Buckshot also hits up to 10 targets and deals about 64 damage at level 50. That's 640 damage per shot and it can easily be used every four seconds, so that's 160 DPS just from Buckshot. Slotting one proc in Buckshot and using the other five slots for ED capped damage and recharge plus some accuracy raises it to about 780 damage per shot (assuming the proc hits two out of 10 targets), or 195 DPS. Now factor in that you can go Buckshot -> M30 Grenade -> Buckshot -> Flamethrower and all of those hit at least as many targets as WoC can, but at range... even at Defender damage scales you're doing at least twice the damage unloading with your various AoEs that you would repeatedly toggling World of Procfusion.

    Now on some Defenders that don't have much AoE (I'm looking at you, Ice Blast) it might be worth trying. But AR has massive AoE damage so the comparison isn't even close in its case.

    /agreed

    what is WoC, like a 5ft pbaoe? To gain effectiveness, you'll need a clusternuck of mobs tightly around you. Otherwise, if you only have 2-3 mobs tight on you, players may be looking at you weird as you attempt to do chance damage vs directed damage by offense powers...

    Ya I would only ever consider doing it in the middle of a aggro capped herd. 8tf radius, 10max targets, and WoC can actully hold 6dmg procs total.......... maybe we should erase these posts and not say anything to anyone....... just a thought

    Actully I had a few posts back on the old forums 2years ago very similar to both your Idea's we tossed around the names "Munitions" and "Ordnance"

    As i said about Ben's set, if they do something like this sign me up!!!
