    I understand that "SIZE" of the pet demonstrates firepower, but in terms of game mechanics, it does nothing other that be big, that and block doors and NPC. My Necro/Dark pets, Lich and Grave Knights are normal sized toons and they make mobs cry without being annoying.

    All I'm saying is this, for those players that wish to scale down their pets or give them a different look should be given an option. If you wish to leave your pets as is, then that's also an option.

    I recently rolled the same set SJ/WP and I had huge end problems until I slotted the toon with endredux and used IO sets @ lvl 30+. It was hard to finish x6 mobs without worrying about dropping my toggles. But once I got my attacks slotted, it wasn't really a big problem, although still had to watch the blue bar in long fights.

    I'll even take an option to scale them down a bit or ideally, thought not likely, give other options for pet looks.

    Not a complaint, mainly an observation lately...

    Firstly, I love MM set and I've lvl'd a few to 50, but does anyone else find the large pets annoying in combat? Even when I play as an MM and I team with other MMs, and these days it's usually the extremely large Demon pets, I find the crazy large pets (demons, bots), irritating. I've also talked to a couple of people that refuse to invite more than one MM on a team and sometimes not at all.

    I'm a hardcore Scrapper player as well and I consistently split time between MM and Scrappers. But when I play as my scrap toons, I can't stand large pets especially in tight places (old school caves, Council caves). Typically I only summon certain pets when fighting in tight places, especially in a full team and I just end up spamming buffs / debuffs for the most part.

    I just hope whatever set we get next, it doesn't get bigger and bigger. For this very reason, I don't play my Demon/ set all that much.

    You're right Agility +end, it's nowhere near enough, I took a quick glance at the new power before looking at actual numbers. At the rate I use End, I'll chew my blue bar in about 30 secs or less.

    One note I'd like to make - You have Mu Mastery set, AFAIK that's only available red side. The only thing I was really interested in EPP was Body mastery, I used conserve power exclusively before Ageless, which worked, but had about ~45 sec downtime.

    Tossed in a self heal, ranged and targeted AoE attack.

    I never really looked closely at Ageless before. 100% end recovery the final minute which is better than a fully slotted Stamina! Awesome! The last minute of Ageless that provides 10% recharge should be enough to run the BF-AB-SS-AB-repeat chain.
    So with the patch yesterday and the added Alpha power "Agility", it changes things a little bit. I was running T4 Alpha Spiritual with 45% Rech and 33% Health, I was thinking of switching to Agility on Alpha, running Rebirth for Destiny instead of Ageless. Agility would take care of +rech +end and rebirth would take care of the +regen.

    @ Inifi - Interesting build, I forgot about Hami-Os. I like the overall totals you posted and only giving up 10% in Recharge. I would need a complete respect because my slotting very different from yours, although not an issue since I have a crap load of respec tokens. Thank you for your input, I will be trying out that build.

    @Ricohdah - My attack chain is as follows: BF/AS/SS/AS -I can double stack BF. I was using Attack Vitals until I found this attack chain. With T4 Ageless on, End is not really an issue, since it's basically Perma

    I have a DB/SR toon that I'm trying to tweak. As of right now, I have T4 Ageless Core Epiphany / T4 Alpha Spiritual Core Paragon / T4 Reactive. I've built this toon for recharge, my question is this:

    - What's a good for SR in terms of S/L resistance? I realize that resistance is scaled for SR, but it's still good as a safety blanket I suppose. I'm thinking it's impossible to reach resist cap with SR. If there's a way, I would love to know.

    - My goal is to have as high resistance as possible without sacrificing defense % or +Rech

    - For those who have high Regen on their SR, what's a good % to shoot for?


    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Thanks guys, I speced it out, pretty happy with the results of Aid Self + Spiritual Alpha boost to healing..definitely worth it.

    On a different note in the same build, I'm so close to getting Hasten-perma...

    I have a DB/SR and I'm looking for some advice from people with experience.

    1. I'm looking to get rid of Focused Acc, but keep Phys. Perf and Conserve Power. I consistently fight +3s and looking to build a toon that can take on AV's. Is Foc. Acc really needed? It's an end hog and even 3 slotted, the end consumption is still pretty high.

    2. If I get rid of FA and go to the medicine Medicine pool, Aid self worth it for SR?

    Thanks in advance!

I use Conserve Power and a few luck and breather inspirations as a net to catch me when Elude crashes. I had been carrying Recovery Serum as a temp power to use for long fights that did not require Elude, but I recently unlocked my Alpha Slot and chose Cardiac as my initial Incarnate Ability. Stamina is no longer an issue.

    Exact numbers to follow as soon as I finish slotting Reactive Armor.
    I've just literally finished soft-capping my lvl 40 DB/SR and it cost me, no more than 75mil! 1.2 bill seems so steep. I can understand if you didn't craft any of it yourself, but if I were to guess 300-400mil max to buy the enhancements straight up?

    Either way, gratz on the SC.
