I have a lvl 36 ninja/TA MM and he gets by pretty well. the ninjas pound through the mobs like a hot knife through butter when the debuffs are applied. I think Acid Arrow and EMP Arrow have the longest activation times, the other arrows, however, whip off really quickly.

Sometime last year, or maybe early this year, /TA did get a buff. Ice Arrow's activation time got lowered and I could be wrong but I think Glue Arrow got it's lowered too and some distance added to the range, but it's still the one arrow that you have to be close for, causing the debuff chain to be somewhat off unless you risk getting closer to the mob.

I'm not suure if Entangling Arrow still has it's -rech or not, it's been taken away and given back in the past, not sure how it stands now. All in all, my MM gets by easily through missions with it, but it could still stand for some improvement.

Personally I think that EMP Arrow should lose the end crash, it doesn't really make sense when it's just another arrow to fire, I can live with the recharge time since it's pretty much a ranged nuke, and if the recharge time had to be lengthened to balance the no end crash, so be it, I can rack up enough recharge time bonuses to use it effectively anyway.

I'd also like to see the -DMG debuff on Poisin Gas arrow increased to 30% from it's current 20%. the sleep mag is a lousy 2 and not really worth it, and I only took it for the debuff. Maybe the sleep fairs out well for others, but we could all use the increased -DMG to make up for having no heal in the set.

Well, there's my 2 inf.

hey there Brosser! lvl 50 fire/dark here.

The trick is to mezz them before they mezz you, because there's no mezz protection in either set. However, your fear power/stun/holds won't cause it to be an issue if you nail them first. and once you get Fluffy he'll be spamming holds as well. Might have to carry some breakfrees in the lower levels, but it pumps out a lot of damage so you won't be spending too much time in the low levels anyway.

ahh, another one for the records of lol threads. Epic.

OK! Here's those combat logs I promised. I forgot that I deleted my Merc MM a while ago to make room for a Brute But I get to roll a new one so that's cool. But I figure if that Negative Energy proc will work in them then it will work in the Jounin. Anyway, here's one for the -res proc and one for the Neg energy proc:

Jounin: HIT Warrior Chopper! Your Sting of the Wasp power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 93.92.
Jounin: You reduce your targets damage resistance temporarily
Jounin: Jounin hits Warrior Chopper with their Sting of the Wasp for 41.97 points of lethal damage and reduces your defense!
Jounin: HIT Warrior Chopper! Your Gambler's Cut power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 23.71.
Jounin: Jounin slashes Warrior Chopper with their Gambler's Cut for 36.47 points of lethal damage and reduces your defense!

Jounin: Underboss takes 5.26 points of toxic damage from the Poison Dart.
Jounin: Underboss MISSES! Punch power had a 6.50% chance to hit, but rolled a 22.49.
Jounin: HIT Underboss! Your Sting of the Wasp power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 45.98.
Jounin: You blast Underboss for 105.93 points of bonus negative energy damage!
Jounin: Jounin hits Underboss with their Sting of the Wasp for 75.52 points of lethal damage and reduces your defense!
Jounin: HIT Underboss! Your Gambler's Cut power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 46.91.

Pretty darn good extra damage too, I'd say.

looks really good. No hasten?

Well the good news is that the horse is now a skeleton so it doesn't stink anymore. *puts the skull on his head*

With the swap ammo thing going on now, howzabout making the medic a DP/ user and he can swap ammo, that way he can help the boys by debuffing as well as healin'. Or maybe give him the blinding smoke bomb
that night widows have?

There's a bunch of good Serum ideas previously posted and I can't think of anything that would top them, except replacements with some sort of recharge-intensive pet so that they can be slotted with the other res/def aura io pieces. Maybe something like Gang war with more soldiers running in, guns blazing (not as may as GW though).

I can see that, in fact I have seen that, you're right. It was my first corruptor that I got to 50 so I'm partial to it. Here's some other awesomes you can try, OP:

Ice/storm
Sonic/Rad
AR/Traps (2nd corr I got to 50 )
elec/strom
Rad/Rad
Fire/Kin

lol, just said it's good, not the best. yeesh, tough crowd.

Go for Fire/DM. Good survivability and a ton of damage.

F5......f5.....f5

So I win?

/TA had a couple of the moves' recharge times/activation times increased/decreased in the past year. Ice arrow for instance whips off much faster than it used to now, in fact I think Acid arrow is the longest activating now, well that one and EMP arrow.

I run it on my Ninja MM, he's at lvl 36. It's a wild set to use and is probably one of the busiest out of all the MMs, constantly firing arows, weakening the crowd, keeping them together with glue arrow, dropping their damage with PGA, and blinding them with Flash Arrow (<--which also got an activation time decrease). Once you get Oil slick Arrow things get much easier.

I'd actually leave out /Pain since all your 2nd tier demons will have Abyssal Reconstruction. sounds like it's gonna be fun, good luck in the caves

well if it's just a matter of getting their damage up as close to their cap as possible before DR kicks in , regular crafted training io's would do the job wouldn't they? after that I suppose you could slot some procs for more damage chances.

EDIT: here's some ideas;

chance for -Res% in Call Jounin (all their sword attacks will have the chance)
chance for smashing damage can go in jounin, genin, and Oni
chance for negative energy damage can go in jounin

Also, what secondary are you running?
