    Yeah, I really am. I think that is the prime reason that I so rarely create IO builds for my characters... I am unwilling to remove powers I like in order to achieve some numerical superiority... and the idea of dropping a billion for a single PvP IO is lunacy IMO.

    But, I know I am weird in that respect.

    I have to say thanks to everyone that has contributed, I really have learned a lot (one main thing: Dominators really like Purple IOs).

    Thanks! I thought so, too.

    It's a bug, log in to Exalted with a different character, then log out. Your character should be unlocked.

    Edit: Dang it, Agge, stop doing that!

    I have a sort of Tech/Sci "ghost." He is a former soldier who the Fifth Column experimented on. They removed his soul and through a combination of science and a technological device captured it in his arm prothesis so that it could be used as an energy source for his other powers. He's a Kinetic/Invuln Brute by the name of Geistlos.

    So, in a way, he is a zombie and a ghost since he has both an inanimate but "alive" body as well as an insubstantial "essence" captured within him.

    What if Metronome used Nightstar's chassis instead of Siege's and took Clockwork King on a date? Which Penny would get jealous?

    Wow... this thread took a turn toward the duodenum pretty fast!

    I will take a look at it tonight when I get to work, but that sounds great! Thanks for the effort you put into it!

    [Edit]
    I have to say that, numbers-wise, it is pretty impressive! However, I am a little saddened that some of my favorite powers from Psi have been left out... Psychic Scream specifically. Oh well, I guess I will take what I have learned from the above and see what I can come up with.

    That looks like a great build... except it has the wrong Epic.

    If there is any answer to that question ASIDE from nothing, it surely amounts to craziness.

    I'm starting to think that Perma is far more worth it, if only for the mez prot and +End. As you said, Elec doesn't benefit from it as much as other sets do in terms of control.

    Also, it isn't the shield that is significant for concept, it's the Mu pet... so I can't really go with say Scorpion's Epic.

    Also, I am attempting to work up a build that goes for S/L Def since I do tend to play in melee range a lot on this character... I might even go for Melee Defence for that matter, but I think that would be too limiting as it would do nothing for the ranged attacks (obviously). I have discovered that going for S/L is considerably harder than Ranged. :/

At the least, you can use lucks for def..getting perma mez prot and end refilling, and longer mez..there is no inspiration for that.
    I really wasn't shooting for Perma Dom... in fact, I have no idea how much +Rech is required to even get there. Would it be bad? No, of course not! But I wasn't really shooting for it specifically. I would rather approach the survivability level of my favorite Troller... but then again, being as useful as he is on the Controls end would be nice also.

    Drain Psy also has a very low acc? I am not sure howw much it needs, and dont rate that power as high as some people do, but..why else did you go Psy? Unless it is a theme..fair enough there.
    I went Psi for a secondary specifically for concept, heck, when I chose it I didn't even know that Drain Psyche was a good power! But you are right, it certainly could use some extra accuracy. I will have to see how much I get globally.

    Quote:
    I dont like aoe immobs myself..but it can work with elec for the aura. However..the sleep is so wtfawesome...and aoe immob will break it. I'd slot up the ST immob more..and I think the end stun proc is basically worthless?
    I guess the idea of making the AoE Immob into a useful damage power is a relic from my play of a Gravity Controller who has very little in the way of AoE at all, much less AoE damage.

    Quote:
    Random idea..you could put the ato set in the aoe immob (i think the sup dam is good there) then use Pacing of the Turt in Static Field, for more ranged def. ANd the ticcing on SF is quite fast as is.
    Hmmmm....

    The Kingpin was the only good thing about Daredevil, oh and Joe Pantoliano being in it... I kinda like him... well, I guess Ben was okay... not good, but okay (in fact, he only rates okay because he likes the comic and is attractive).

    You very well might be right... I posted it from my computer at work which is harder to update, so prolly has an old version of Mids... lemme take a look at it later and see if I can't sort it out.
  20. Thirty-Seven
    So I worked a little harder on the build... and managed to get myself to 45.5% ranged with the Mu pet in there. I am not necessarily happy with skipping a few attack powers to do it... but, I think the end result is workable and much much better than that first monstrosity I posted.

    Any commentary?

    {Edit: Changed a few things around, and am now using the most current version of Mids for this build.}

    Seems like you may be unfamiliar with how Epics work for Scrappers, Stalkers, Brutes and Tanks.
    • They don't get ally buffs
    • They don't get more powers that add to their armor set
    • They do get ranged attacks.
    • They do get stuff they don't have, like the hold you mentioned.

    Ouroboros isn't broken. It just can't do what you are asking of it. Ouro is limited by the native alignment of the user. Period. And, even if you are on the "other side" you are still a Villain or Hero, as such you will go to your alignment's Ouro. That isn't broken, it does exactly what is intended.

    Changing that functionality is a long-running request, but not one that seem surmountable without a good deal of Dev effort (it might also be something they don't intend to allow).
