Someone called Cambo by the looks of it, and from what I've heard, he deserved it!

It's been a long time coming - 14 months - 510 hours of game time - but Tridento finally hit the 5 0 against Nemesis. Such a long journey, so many people involved on the way, thank you to you all!

Now, I need to sort out a PvP build for Tri, expect a post on this later.

Okay, I did threaten to do this earlier so here goes. This is the current build for Tridento, it has served me well for PvE and I am interested in getting suggestions / ideas for a PvP build....

---------------------------------------------

My current attack chain goes like this...
Focus
Eviscerate (whilst on their backside after Focus)
Slash
Strike

by then an individual minion / Lt is normally done for. Follow Up, Spin, Shockwave & Energy Torrent are more mob attacks - with Shockwave & ET having the advantages of KB.

I've got all the invul powers except for Resist Elements.

As for pool powers, with plenty of toggles stamina looks to be a must. CJ & Acrobatics added to the invuls means I'm rarely held.

So, suggestions?

Drop the end-mod in Unstoppable, either go 3 res or put a recharge in it (base from unst. should be far enough already). Maybe see if you can add a extra endred in acro and Temp.inv.. they are somewhat higher end-users then your other powers.

Not sure if follow up stacks, but i would go for more slotting on that. Recharge or 2 might be pretty nice, you keep the damage up even when you miss once.

I rather would go resist energy, seems that nrg/n.nrg are a bit more common and high damage then the fire/ice side (both in pvp as pve).

^^ Click on any of the pedestrian NPC's wandering around Paragon whose name begins with an M, that should give you the length of actual game time you've sent on your character.

im a bit clueless when it comes to ur sets but i'll post none the less.

slot DP 3/3
get LEB instead of torrent imo, but ur preference, i did say go for a KD KB heavy build, although LEB i think is more damaging

3 slots in health? only if u dont take aid self

aid self woul help if you are going for a solo build, you kinda need it

all the endred slots? is it that bad with claws?

wouldnt put endmod in unstop

would follow up be better with a few recreds in it?

you have looooads of your actual primary and secondary powers, might be worth putting hasten in and dropping an attack for a hardcore attack achain.

and do you need acro? great for pvp duels against certain blaster but not sure how often its needed in PvE

Mars needs to have a look at this

Thanks Sin & Plight for thoughts so far.

Based on advice so far am looking to:
<ul type="square"> Drop the end-mod in Unstoppable &amp; replace it with a recharge
Adding an extra EndRed to Temp Invul
Dropping Acrobatics
Adding a recharge to Follow Up
Dropping Spin
Add Aid Other with one slot Interrupt Reduction
Add Aid Self with 2 x Recharge, 1 x Interrupt Reduction, 1 x Heal[/list]
Have decided to keep Energy Torrent as the damage difference between it and Laser Beam Eyes doesn't seem to be a lot. And yes, the claws/invul build is an end hog, hence the EndReds everywhere Losing Spin won't effect my attack chain as I still have 6 attack powers, plus follow up.

New build would look like.....

Sorry for getting to this late, heres my thoughts.

Power choices:

Drop invincibility, its not needed in PvP.
Drop tough hide, the defence values are to low on it.
Take hurdle over health.
Pick up hasten and superspeed over these two powers for some movement and faster recharge on your attacks.
Drop energy torrent and get laser beam eyes, seriously energy torrent costs a lot of endurance and does very low damage, laser beam eyes costs less endurance and does more damage. You already have knockback/knockdown control tools from focus and shockwave.

Slotting:
Follow up: 2acc 3recharge 1tohitbuff.
Attacks generally, slot 2acc 3 damage 1 recharge, claws is low endurance cost so you can get away with that. Then again i would say use your experience if its an end heavy set use end redux in your attacks.
Don't slot health with heal slots, just don't. Hurdle i'd go for and stick 3jumps on it, along with combat jumping 3 jumps. Seriously you should try on test server superspeed and 3CJ/hurdle, its just incredible.
Slot unstoppable 3recharge 3 damage res.
Slot yout toggles with 2end redux.
I personally wouldn't slot Strike at all, you'll have a constant attack chain with follow up filling in gaps, without strike, so i wouldn't slot it.

My knowledge of invul is pretty limited first hand. Claws from my experience of the RV event, but i'm just throwing in some key PvP basics into your build, which should be applied onto most builds which is emphasis on movement.

Best person to ask for claws/invul for slotting would have to be dawnie, she knows her stuff

Much appreciated Everclear, I can see various versions of Tridento appearing on the test server now

Wll shout out when ingame Plight, and we'll see what we can arrange.

Drop invincibility, its not needed in PvP.
Drop tough hide, the defence values are to low on it.

Both i disagree. Unyielding gives a -5% def, wich being nulified again with tough hide (autopower). Slotted it goes to 7ish%, having 2 enemy around you with invincible makes you get a nice boost on def/acc. (slot 2tohit/3def/1end in that case). Specialy in RV you can use turrets and archonos mobs to give yourself a better defence, specialy because your elemental resist is pretty low (nrg/n.nrg/fire/ice) Some say invinciblity is bugged, that it always gives 20% base acc when even 1 mob is around. If this is also in pvp, it gives you a great boost.

Experience comes from a 26 sirens tanker, 2 inv scrappers and 3 inv tankers on the 40-event.
