Well, it would certainly get you closer. I'm not really a numbers guru, I just obsess over a handful of toons ... numerically ... heh. Mine is KM/Regen, so I'm pumping recharge into it like there is no tomorrow. Other combos won't need as much in the secondary.

The "target build" example from above (147.5% recharge for PS to recharge in 32 secs) includes:

Hasten
5x LOTG +rech pieces
4x Doctored Wounds (5 pcs for the 5% rech bonus)
2 "purple" IO sets for another 20% rech bonus.
And Spiritual Core Alpha.
(probably another rech bonus in there i forgot about)

Again, just an example to get 20 secs uptime and 12 seconds "downtime." Again, in playing the character and not being remote close to that build I am starting to think that it is overkill to have the second +rech IO in there (in PS). It's slightly unlikely (especially with /Regen coming to brutes) that that toon will ever see the purples, and I haven't quite finished tuning a realistic build for when he gets to 50.

So no, just slotting 5x LOTG won't completely get you there, certainly not perma. But they help a lot and get you closer. With Crit-recharges it comes out pretty sweet.

Are you using and keeping at least a luck up at a time? Another question are you ticket farming? Because if you are its perhaps smarter to just tone down the difficulty to reach the ticket cap for that mission.

I'll finish this post and then go commit seppuku.


Basicallywhat I was going to say was that the boosters only contained items that were posalbe with the current engine and not things we had been told were "imposable".

However the Steampunk pack had backpacks in it and blows that theory out of the water. It is just... disappointing that the only way this game can support it self is by locking all the "good" stuff behind some kind of barrier. Be that Going Rouge, Money, or a Loyalty Program.

But its mostly the money that bothers me the most when they set a precedent for giving us free stuff. and then used the faith that they bulit up with the free stuff to get us to buy the new "good" stuff.

AlrightI'm done talking to myself now where did I put my katana...

So I exempted down to play with her and she is currently 13. I'm only in SO's because I haven't made an IO set yet since coming back, but in DO's shes taking and holding aggro from me. I'm assuming that its due to her fiery aura doing more damage then mine but I just didn't think that she would take all aggro except the mob Im targeting.

Is this how it is at end game TF's and stuff? So brutes hold the best aggro? I also seen in IO sets that brutes basically get the same defense as tankers. I love to tank and thats why its the only class I've taken over 20 but with tanking I enjoy holding aggro! What is the endgame like now? Are brutes and tankers equal?

Also quick other question. Wife has a 50 controller fire/fire. Which would be better to farm with my wife tanker..her 50 controller or her upcoming SS/fire brute?

Thanks all

It also implies that they are only using pre-existing powers in the Dark Manipulation that Blasters are getting.
