Quote:Yeah, burn is sweet. Just wait until you get FE, its really REALLY freakin' sweet. In fact, its my personal favorite power in the entire game considering it allows you to transcend the dmg cap for for a good 20 secondsOriginally Posted by Lobster
This.
I went back to my ss/fire in process after a long hiatus, finally leveled him up to burn (I couldn't get excited about it, with the memories of how burn used to be )... and wow, burn is... basically just like it used to be again?

So the Devs are going to have to animate two entirely different sets of animations just so SD using can use it? I dont see that happening.

SS/fire is better at farming, hands down.
In PvP however they are somewhat tied.
The extra dmg FE and burn offers is very useful in allowing you to kill the enemy before they kill you in a PvP environment. Of course, for PvP you will need a ton of -KB procs thanks to i13s stupidness, even then its not always enough.
But with /elec, if your in a 1v1 duel setting at least, against an opponent that you would otherwise be tied with you can eventually sap them of their end and thus win. And you have an actual god mode, very useful.
And i guess one important think about brutes is, imo, they aren’t that great at PvP when compared to scrappers or tanks without the frenzy temp power which you only get redside. -
SS/fire/mu. will be a GOD in fire ambush mishs.

Good question. I would guess it would roll every 10 seconds just like a proc in any other toggle. But repel is a bit different than any other toggle, i guess. So now im wondering the same thing >.<
-
SS = Claws > stone is about where its as far as epicness imo. SS and claws are both someone tied and both have great synergy with WP, i LIKE SS more but thats just me. Stone, its got great mit but imo its got crappy end (WP should help with that of course though) and not great AoE. Really with any 3 of them you will do fine.

Quote:I use brawl plenty during the low levels, and it's really sweet. But putting it on auto, really?Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
It's a fast-charging no-endurance attack.
Prior to the removal of the endurance cost, it was a mildly useful tool for maintaining fury. Once the endurance cost was removed, it became INCREDIBLY useful, especially at lower levels. -

Its surprising the amount of people i hear saying elec/stone is great AoE (got into an argument once with someone who said elec/stone was the BEST farming brute).
I think they must be joking. -65% rech and some -30% dmg. Sure you might have decent amount of AoE attacks by why bother thats just ******* sad, especially if you want to farm. -
Well, if cost isnt really a big deal ill just post the none-farm build im using (im feeling to lazy to make something else). Only think thats ever a problem sometimes is end, and thats just in long AV fights and i still do a lot better than it looks like i would.
Using spirit radial alpha.

Ive got a DM/SR had he is damn near unkillable, tanking mutliple AVs at one. But ive been thinking soft capped /SD might even be tougher, as well as making up for DM/'s semi-lackluster dmg.

Below is the build in the OP:
Later today i should have another build and some input.
Edit: I’m not really sure i will be able to post a build because I’m not 100% sure what you plan on doing, have much inf you have, etc.
But here are a few pointers.
1. punch is over slotted; just the KCs will be enough
2. id move the res/def from tough to fire shield, its only about 1% more s/l res but why not.
3. oblits are a bit end heavy for FS
4. Maneuvers is overslotted, def/end and +7.5% rech is plenty
5. FE is underslotted, you want at least 2 slots in it. It’s just that good. -
Quote:Tickets are a great way to get good stuff (bronze rolls, for the love of god bronze rolls). That is, good stuff you sell and then have plenty of money for purples. Not to mention on a fire farm in AE ss/fire, on just SOs, is a demi-god.Originally Posted by Visaeon
Well this is the character im trying to build

i checked all the sets on the Black market and everything is really expensive. So you can get alot of recipies for this stuff by doing Tip mish's? -

Welcome back to the game.
Luckily flashy is something we do well around here. If you want something that grows pretty quickly and gets progressively more flashy, you might consider an Earth/Fire Dominator. The Earth powers are very loud and cause lots of screenshake, and the Fire powers do good damage. Later on you can pick up Rain of Fire and Fireball for even more damage and explosions. The Earth pet is also really good.I have to second both of these. SS/WP really feels very epic right from lvl 1. I’ve never actually had an earth/fire though (only mind/fire) but i have teamed with them and always think they look cool >.<Quote:Originally Posted by Humility
Super Strength has a very HULK SMASH feel to it. It's kind of a late bloomer with footstomp coming so late though. SS/Willpower is a solid combo and fun to play.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that SS/fire feels pretty epic (a ***** to lvl up though unless you use a fire AE map, in which you feel like GOD) it’s got SS/ so you get HULK SMASH!!!! but then /fire (once you get burn) really gives you an "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! IM SOO ******* POWERFUL I BLOW UP EVERYTHING NEAR ME. AH!" super saiyan-esque feeling (one of mines costume's is yellow burn cuz of that *sigh*). But ive been told thats overselling the product. :P -
Could you plz post the data chunk. Its very hard to look at a build outside of mids.

...Survivability models are still useful, but they flatten a lot of realistic real world scenarios onto a flat posterboard that as often as not does not present the full scenario.

No, its not.

I'd try to get more +rech if your farming fire dmg. Since fire dmg doesnt have any -def purple insp will easily be enough. And i for one really like RotP, if you dont though you will be fine.
-
Well re-read it, im even more worried. What if that booster pack IS the rest of the Alpha slot, are they moving to a micro payment system?
-
I do really like the idea of of that letter. But im worried that it might not be a long time until we get the rest of the Alpha slot.

-have 10 times as many builds in Mids as I have characters, all of them with sets, yet if I choose to make a new character with the same powersets as one of those builds, I still have to do a new one because "What was I thinking when I made this?"
-Have yet to finish a concept in base editing. I start, I do fantastic things, but it never gets quite done, before I loose interest and decide to go smack people around.
-Cannot stand playing scrappers, they feel slow next to brutes.

-Have not played stalkers past 8
-Have not run ANY of TFs in the Shadow Shard
-Still cringe when told to go places such as the Hollows or Perez Park, though am also still grateful for the learning experiences I recieved from these places, in the early days of the game. Now I can take a level 2 to Portal Corps, and the only thing that might hit me along the way is a sniper.
