    correct
  2. Well, it sounds like Siphon speed from kinetics might actually affect cammandos as well. Guess we will have to find out. I cant wait.


    Just hope i got interface unlocked on my dom by then.
  3. Yeah, gonna need 24 ppl.
    It's the freakin BAF, it hates control. Either way, ill join on Confused Caucasiafro. Mind/fire dom.


    Edit: to my knowagle Slow and KB also dont work on commandos
  4. Yep

    Guess SS/ is even better now, didnt know that was possible.
  5. I wouldnt grab teleport id grab leadership. Nowadays i try to at least get maneuvers, i team a lot though, and veng is really nice if you do actually get it. Not to mention thats two LotG slots.

    I personally wouldn't grab fly, you will/should be in melee anyway. And you can just buy a temp power if you need some verticle travel. But thats just me.

    Also, grab ice as your APP. Sleet is that good, ive gotten stuff down to -80% res once you have perma dom amounts of +rech and the proc in there.

    correct
  7. The +regen is rather low in PP, so i use it more for getting better recov. It's still a great power of course.

    FA is imo, useless for most of the game, -tohit res OK though. Well, its not that its useless but its that there are a lot of other things you can get.

Minmaxing can be fun all on its own; every build is a logic puzzle where you have to find a balance between budget, concept and performance that you can live with. Build design involves much more strategy than anything in the game itself, requiring good judgement, experience and even creativity (math, not so much - Mids' is there to do the math for you).
    Well put. I know i love being able to do any random pug of an LRSF/apex/tin and know if the **** hits the fan i can freakin carry the team on some of my toons. Running pug teams means i get to meet a ton of new people all the time too, rather than some people who say "i only team with people i know, we have been playing since beta." I always figured the point of an MMO is the team with as many people as possible, and there happen to be a lot of bad players out there. IOed builds just means even if you have a few bad apples you can still "win."

    Well said, this is starting to piss me off.
    Why cant this just be epic builds for any brute?
  10. Actually it does tell you. Under effects, then scroll over "KD: 0.67 mag" and it says 50% chance to critters.

    Sorry if i sounded like a jerk.

    That 20% was after taking AVs and GMs resistance to -tohit into account. Fluffy alone as an aura that does about -44% base.

    You do know that the assbot has attacks (two i believe) that do -500% regen right? It alone can get AVs/GMs close to 0.

    Ah good point, that mez protection is nice.
    However their -res is the same. Acid mortar can 3 stack, for -20% each. Tar patch can stack twice for 30% each. The only reason they have more -res is because of the proc they can slot. Oh, and a good dark can get AVs and GMs down to about 30% tohit. So thats 20% pseudo def. Also, you cant get more -regen than zero, which both dark and traps can easily maintain.
    And dark gets one of the best self heals in the game...twice. Oh, and that also debuffs.
    Im just saying /traps might be better but its like SS/fire compared to elec/fire when it comes to farming. Times have shown the a good elec/ can easily pass an SS/ and an equally good SS/ is only seconds faster than elec/

    Guys, pretty sure he asked for a melee toon.

    Anyway, you got an SS/fire already. Make a STdps focused build and you should be able to take out most AVs.

    And if you consider Doms to be melee mind/fire/ice perma dom, i know i play mine in melee about 90% of the time, can get some insane STdps while keeping more AVs confused (basically everything but LR, states, honoree and i19s) I still consider mine to be my best toon.

    I'd also like to mention Bot/trap is overrated. I mean it’s still awesome, yes. But my bot/dark has done all the kinds of crap people say bot/traps is best at. I've taken out GMs on primarily SO builds. It's really the massive -regen from bot that is important. Only thing /traps has going for it that might make it better than /dark is that you can slot the -res proc. I also find that dark is easier to lvl up.
  14. Of course fury affects CS, don't know why you would think it doesn't

    No, its 50% Detailed info ingame tells you this.
  15. After to agree with Squad. Making anything else will be slower, don't see how thats gonna be any less boring.
    Like tubby said you can try making money just from the market. I however find this to be REALLY REALLY REALLY ******* boring.
  16. Seems like you chasing HP bonuses, which you really shouldn't be doing. Also i take it your buget is limited, yes?
  17. I HIGHLY recomend you soft cap s/l instead. That will protect from something almost all melee and good chunk of range/AoE attacks as well. And believe any melee that doesn't have any s/l in it is either fire (which you are safe from obviously) or -nrg which is not only rare but doesnt have any -def or anything.



    Anyway, your end looks horrible. You dont wanna slot oblits in blazing aura or foot stomp. You also want to try and get the FF+rech proc in FS. Is stamina supposed to only have one slot? I think you are overestimating the usefulness of consume.

    Second reaction; musculature? Why? You have dismal recharge and don't even make any effort to fix it. Spiritual paragon. More recharge more healing.
    Not to mention you should be at or near the dmg cap literally making musculature USELESS.
  19. Yeah, you only need like 1 other person to team with. My first 50 was a grav/emp and I almost exclusively teamed with this one scrapper.
    AND anything can solo. Thats simply a fact.
  20. Wait, 7 purples sets. WTF

    Is this a joke?

    That...well the last part is a bit insane.

    The only time I've ever seen any worry about sets is on Mo runs. Even then people generally just want someone they know is not full of suckage.
  22. I have to say. All other April Fool's jokes were better than this.


    Btw, im still waiting for my visual sounds.
  23. Oh yes, i forgot that LR is a pseudo-pet so it has a lower dmg cap.
    Burn is the same as well.
