My PB is currently only level 25, but I'm attempting to do my research, planning, and brain storming as early as possible to try and reduce the number of respecs. Below is my first attempt at seriously using Mids, attempting to combine set bonuses effectively, and create a newbish abomination of slots and powers. As it stands, I do plan on spending a lot of time in Nova and Dwarf, though I did try to make use of some Human powers. Suggestions and advice from experience would be wonderful.

I haven't done many PB builds myself, but here are a few Notes:

- Nova doesn't need 6 slots. Flight is already really fast. ToHit isn't so big that it needs enhancing. The only thing this power *needs* I'd say is end mod and end reduction. The +end chance IO is nice, and should be combined with the End Mod/End Reduction IO, then slot an End Red/Fly if you want.

- White Dwarf doesn't need 6 slots. Its overkill what you got there. I can see with certain IO +DEF bonuses and endurance recovery, this power could be 6 slotted, but not with what you have here. 4x Reactive and 2x +end/end/end mod like you have in Nova.

- all form attacks: You realize you can use the same set more then once? Just looks like you are trying to get 1 of every bonus instead of focusing on a single/couple weakness or strength.


Switch photon Seekers to recharge pet set. Quantum Flight never needs more the 1 slot unless you plan to phase every 30 seconds.

Thanks. When it came to the attacks, I was so/too focused on trying to get the most out of the bonuses that I totally forgot/overlooked that simple fact; I tend to over-exaggerate the Rule of Five and end up picking different sets every time. I'm glad to mentioned Rech Intensive; they're not in Mids. Now that I think about it, too, by attempting to globally 'fix' minor End issues, that would lower the need for that much End Mod in both form toggles.

So, that being learned... Take 1-2 slots out of both Nova and Dwarf and move them into...?

Nothing to add except that I suggest you update your Mids. The recharge intensive pet sets are there in the latest version.

Ah-ha! Thanks for pointing that out.

Edit:
After taking the time to slow down and look, I did see the Rech Intensive set, just had to mouse down a little further. Though as I was changing a few small things around, something hit me and I'm not entirely sure of how it works or what x% is marked as what by the game, but don't I run the risk of hitting the rule of five with the Regen bonuses? Is there a way to tell, in Mids, if the bonus is tiny, small, medium, or large? Give that I didn't go for an expensive build, for the most part, there wont/shouldn't be any extreme bonuses.

On the toolbar, hit Window and choose Sets &amp; Bonuses. You can see what set bonuses you have there. If you break the rule of five, the first text in the left hand side of the S&amp;B window will tell you that you aren't receiving all your bonuses, and then if you scroll down, powers that aren't contributing will have that particular set bonus in red text, so you know what to adjust. I didn't even know about the rule of five until I noticed that in mids.

Glad to know that little tid-bit. Right off hand I don't think I've broken the rule of five, but I'll have to take another look at it later today just to make sure. Amusing that I'd start using Mids seriously with my first Kheld and not with my VEAT that I love so dearly.

Er, I just noticed I typed left hand side, but it's really the right hand side. You would have figured that out, but I thought I should point it out anyways.

I haven't slept enough lately.
