    Yep, both are really ******* stupid ideas. Aggelakis summed it up pretty damn well right at the start of the thread.

    I disagree about sticking with the team. It's simply NOT the most effective way to kill as many critters as quickly as possible for a lot of high end toons. You stay with the team 90% the time stuff is dead before you can get off more than a single attack, or you get of that second attack and stuff dies from someone else before it damages anyone. I call it wasted AoE. Something a lot of people don't seem to get.

    I do this all the time on my SS/fire. In fact i was on an ITF where i went to the comp after all the other gens were down. The rest of the team seems to have cleared up the hill, within that time i had almost killed req and was down 25% on the comp. And the ambush was dead as well. Still not sure what they were doing.
    It is however important that you don't run ahead before people are ready and put them in danger.

    Really really great point about taunt, way too many people use it when it’s not needed. Worst is when you see a tank/brute pulling an AV and they stay in range and spam taunt. >.<

    But it sounds to me like a debuffer really wants to think they actually made that mob die faster. :P

    You dont have lightning field. Not only does it do dmg (insane dmg too if you can reactive interface) but its also your taunt aura, you kind of want that.

    You dont need nrg mastery, get soul or pyre. APP/PPPs
    On a brute you generally dont want the weakest attack (beheader in this case) as you will always have something better up. So i would drop that.
    Try and get s/l soft capped, its quite nice.

    Uh, i prefer the term guardanian.

    LoL. awesome.

    I really dont think they should make it so iPowers dont work. I think they should keep the Mo bages just the way they are. But, they should add a new set of badges that use the settings that are never touched. STF while players are under constant debuff, enemies are buff, you cant use insp, your enhancements dont work, cant use temps, no dieing, AND a time limit. Now that would be hard while still allowing people to use this new system. You dont just make people more powerful and then take that power away so the game stays hard. You give people the option to play an even harder game.

    Most DPS?

    0.75 scaler actually.

    On a farm build you dont want to shoot for any def just +rech, as stated many many times before. But I soloed an MoITF on my non-farm build....so yeah.

    Syntax, sorry dude but you are completely wrong about reaching 45% not being a good option. Outside of farming you want 45% s/l def, period. Which protects from basically all melee attacks, as well as a good chunk of ranged AND AoE attack.
    And it is very very very easily to get quite a bit of +rech while you are at the soft cap. In fact, you can get to the point where DR makes it not even worthwhile to get more +rech. Build I'm running right now has 60% rech, i plan to respec into something that has 80% +rech and still s/l soft capped.

    Well, you got YOUR badge back when it WAS hard right? Shouldn't that mean it’s just as impressive as it was back in the day?

    However, a lot of the old content that used to be hard is now quite easy. Was on an MoSTF with Neph a week or two ago that failed because no one was paying attention...because it was boring and easy. But that’s the point of incarnates, you’re SUPPOSED to be awesome. They are coming out with new "challenging" content for that very reason. Now it times for us to go thru and do things almost unimaginable a few issues ago. It's time for that 10minute MoITFs (you better get on that blood), that solo MoSTF, those 7 toon rikti raids, those soloed GMs being soloed left and right (for every AT not just debuffers).

    I dont craft but i believe it does include ticket/selling times. Of course, it might take a few days for everything to sell. I havent farmed for more than 20min at a time in a few weeks either, so numbers could have gone down or up.
  11. ultrawatt
    Um, 1:20 of farming AE averages me about 500mil or likely more. And i mean average, like lots and lots of trials.
  12. ultrawatt
    Yeah, all you really want in fly is a single end redux IO.
  13. ultrawatt
    Ion > pyronic.

    Also, FE not only doesn’t buff fire dmg more than other dmgs types right now. It also doesn’t affect judgement. In fact judgement isn’t supposed to be affected by dmg buffs at all. HOWEVER, there is a bug with ion causing its jumps to be affected by dmg buffs. This, for now, makes it hands down the best judgement. No exceptions.
  14. ultrawatt
    Level does seem to affect ticket drop rates though. Anywhoo, where is the test or word of god that says level doesnt affect recipe/salvage drop rates?

    Build needed quite a bit of improvement.
    1st: NEVER EVER SLOT THE DMG PURPLE. No exceptions
    2nd: numi is useless in RotP
    3rd: Kismet literally does nothing for you.
    4th: Hecatomb goes in haymaker.
    5th: consume doesn't need end mod
    etc

    Slapped together a quick build. Something like 30% more +rech and a bit more recov for no real increase in price.

    Also, wtf another?
  17. ultrawatt
    I can't believe you wasted so much time putting together a build that's not going to use IO's. Something that can be done cheaply with amazing returns and can often double farm times. That's just sad man.

    You could have easily posted this in "Very Best farmer." That's one of the things it was once used for. It's since returned to "MY FARMER IS BETTER THAN YOURS!1!!!!!1" unfortunately.

    Yep, claws/will. Don't forget their dmg is greater than a scrappers in the low lvls either.
  19. ultrawatt
    I have to agree that the low end slotting in BA is gonna hurt, even if you have consume and DC. And i would also move those non proc slots out of health into some of your attacks. Or you could move them into healing flames and then put doc wounds into it. That should give you perma hasten, if you want, i think perma hasten is slightly overrated though.
  20. ultrawatt
    Proc's in auras are a bad idea generally.

    12 kb: Incarnate content, nemi bosses, etc.

    Positron's blast (all but the dam/range) and a rech IO. I dont recomend slotting with an immobile set to get that def. You will get more survivablity from not using fences so you can keep the KD from foot stomp

    ambush farm?

    POST-ACTION

    A lot of them are fire dmg, like "FIRE!," “FRONTLOAD,” and the crappy yet popular Crey fire cyborgs because FA is the prime farmer these days.

    Only S/L dmg one i know of off hand is by a guy named @cyvert dont know the title (it gets changed actually) but that’s the creator.

    Yep, that lvl shift will actually decrease ALL dmg (even unresistable stuff) you take from a lvl 50 by about 11% As well as increase your dmg as so on. Against 54s your something like 17% more powerful.

    Pretty sure Mu doesnt have a hold.
