Resistance Toggle Sets


Fleeting Whisper

 

Posted

So I've gotten into Set IO's Recently on my blaster, I've been doing my attacks and a few extra things like blessing of the zephyr for the nice ranged def bonus. I've come to my ancillary power pool toggle and click resistance powers from force mastery and I'm not sure which sets I'd want to use in each.

I noticed a lot of recharge on the resistance sets, how will this affect my toggle, should I frankenslot it?

*/Recharge IOs in a toggle will boost the recharge of the toggle. Most toggles, after turning off, must recharge before you can use them again. Most toggles don't have very long recharge, though, so it's rarely a concern.

I'm wondering if aegis would be a better set for my toggle or my click power, I'm not sure of the optimal sets for these powers.

Cheap slotting for Temporary Invulnerability is 3 Titanium Coatings (R/E, R/E/R, R) and 1 Reactive Armor (R/E).

If you want the bit of Def more than the HP, then replace the TC R, R/E/R and the RA R/E with those same IOs from the Aegis set (you can use the RA R/E to round it out or the TC R/E).

A more expensive slotting that I like is the Steadfast R/E and R/D along with the R and R/E from Impervium Armor. A Steadfast -KB IO can be added and will give a few HP if you don't have a better way to get -KB.

I suggest frankenslotting Force of Nature. Res/Rech from 4 sets such as Reactive Armor, Impervium Armor, Titanium Coating and Aegis works well. If you want to go with a touch less enhancement to get some extra Recovery then the Impervium Armor R/E/R makes a good 4th instead of the Aegis.

I'm working with 5 slots in temp inv and 6 in force of nature, any uniques I might want to take advantage of other than the sexy R/D one you pointed out?

Not really, just the Gladiator's R/D; which will cost a fortune. The Aegis special would be OK on a Blaster in TI.

For TI consider 3 TC (R, R/E, R/E/R), a Steadfast R/D and either the Gladiator R/D (if you're swimming in INF), the Aegis special or a Steadfast -KB.

With FoN having 6 slots I might consider 3 Titanium Coatings for the HP. Say the R/R, R/E/R and R. You only need an R/R from Reactive Armor to get to the Res you want. You could then use Efficacy Adaptors to get some HP and the rest of the Recharge. Say the EndMod/Rech and the EM/R/A. You could use lower level IOs to get to the soft cap and have the Set bonuses for Ex.

The problem with the Aegis in FoN is that it is a bizarre proc that gives Set bonuses. So you have to activate it 5 times after zoning before it reaches full strength. When was the last time you used FoN 5 times on one map? The other two are worth less combined than the Eff Ad +HP.

Ahhhh, I read about the aegis special, yeah I'll keep that in mind, and I looked at the gladiator special and determined that I should go with my pvp friend into pvp zones and hope to get lucky. heh.

A little note - the Gladiator's Armor unique is Chance for Teleport Res/+Def (all), not +Resistance/+Def all. Unlike the Steadfast Protection one, it doesn't boost resistance.

Yeah, I should be able to cap my res with the other ones, at least it looks like it.

I went with Impervium Armor on my Fire/Nrg Blaster. They cost a good bit but I liked the bonuses


Little side question, what are those +def PvP IOs going for heroside currently. I have a DM/SR and if I spent the inf to grab this IO I could crank up the global rech to above 120% before hasten

I'm going to assume they're comparable to villainside - the recipe sells from 500-600 mil and the crafted goes from anywhere to 200-500 (a WTF kinda moment for me).

They're actually a bit more blue-side: 625-700M for the recipe (6 for sale) and 603-760M crafted (2 for sale).
