From what I gathered they're pbaoe toggles. Melee is stacking regen/def like Rise to the Challenge. Control somehow mimics containment and scourge. Assault is damage buff, not a whole lot of other info. They did say support is a toggle that will affect all your leaguemates though.

Kinda on the fence about a toggle that affects all leaguemates though. I can't imagine the boost would be overly strong since things would become broken very easily. I'd prefer a stronger buff that only affects team or self/pets. We'll see though.

Also, unless I interpreted things wrong, Zwill's in stream chat mentioned Beta opening later this week. Anyone else catch that or am I crazy?

You win.

It's great for when you're knee deep in defense reduction and you need a quick breather.

Couldn't agree with you more. Seeing this turn in to a 'I'm the ultimate winner, gimme gimme!' whine party further enforces my concerns about how crummy this forum community has become. This used to be a pleasant place were people helped eachother and shared information for the collective good. Now, all I see is bitter bickering derailing threads pretty frequently.

Seriously, guys, what the hell?

There they go with that 4-legged rig again.

Second week of may sounds way too soon. Also, releasing very close to Diablo 3 launch would make me super sad.

Ahhh, that makes sense. So if we're not getting a half update, I guess we should not be expecting any new content until around August or so. I was really hoping to get a new incarnate slot/trial sooner on a half update. Ohhhh well.

I was wondering what the point of this app is considering I could just set a bookmark for the status page on my home screen. The notification feature definitely makes it worth it for me.

Mind Link on the Arachnos Support is pretty garbage. It gives no def and no psi res. All you get is the 5 Tohit buff, some perception, and some confuse protection. Very disappointing. http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...achnos_Support

If you're going Arachnos just go the Core route. Tarantula boss is decent enough. I chose robotic drones because they have minimal character models, 120 foot range, and hit for pretty good damage.

Lore choices pretty much come down to theme but I have never been able justify the support route on anything other than Elementals.

Kin Combat are an excellent candidate for boosters. +5 the 4 set and your damage will be in ED cap range. Also, If you +5 TT:Maneuvers you can ditch the generic 50 IO and throw that slot in to Health for the numina proc. Wouldn't hurt to +5 Call Reinforcements either as their damage is a bit low on that build.

It's looks like that build focused on packing in as much recharge as possible. Beyond double maneuvers and the 2 +def uniques I dont see any other defense. Considering diminishing returns on recharge once you get in the 180 range, I'm not sure how viable it would be to continue adding recharge instead of defense.

Just my opinion and I'm sure he's adapted to learn to play his build well. To each their own.

Edit: Not to say its not a good build. The crab build I used for a very long time had defenses similar to this and it was still a badass crab. I received some grief over not being softcapped but still did well. Also, I do see CJ and CT: Defensive so you're sitting in low 30s on def. Perma-serum and Fortification will mitigate everything else.
