Foot Stomp - Best slotting

Ok.. just got foot stomp and loving it! (it only has 1 slot but still loving it!).

I am aiming for (as above) acc, dmg, dmg, dmg, endredux. With it slotted at the moment (just acc) it is missing some people. Does it have a max amount that it can hit or is it worth putting a 2nd acc in to increase the chances of it hitting everyone.

I am taking on a min of oranges up to purples at the moment (if that sways your opinion in any way).

The slot I would take it off is rage, I am aiming for 3 recharge and 3 tohit buffs on rage.. is this overkill? Would 1 tohit slot be better used in foot stomp to get a much better chance of it landing?

If it's only footstomp that's missing, you'll get better return from 2 Accuracies in it than 3 in Rage.

To be honest though, if you already have 3 Tohits in Rage you should be at about +31% Tohit, which combined with an Accuracy SO in each power will pretty much put you at the accuracy cap in PvE up to +4/5s.

What you might be seeing is the 5% of attacks that'll always miss no matter how much accuracy you have.

Firstly if you have Hasten, I would only put 2 recharges in Rage. If not put 3. Whilst you can stack Rage with 3 recharges and Hasten, I don't think the benefits of 20 seconds of double rage are worth the disadvantage of having a rage crash more often.

I think more than 1 ACC if you run perma rage is overkill and a waste of slots. Rage provides a to hit buff which is better against really hard to hit things ( high defence and high level ). Accuracy enhancements provide a accuracy bonus which helps most against things that are easier to hit. With 3 to hit buffs in Rage, a 1 ACC attack should have be at the 95% cap for anything with a base to hit of 40% or more. That's +5s or lower, or something with 35% defence. One or 2 to hit buffs will cap +4s if you slot 1 ACC in each attack.

On the other hand, I would always 6 slot any attack that I consider effective. Foot Stomp is worth 6 slotting, recharge is useful to get the downtime down.

I have not got rage yet as I was building for team/hi defence first. My next power will be rage.

I should be getting rage in about 2 to 3 lvls (40 or 41 I think), so is it worth using the slots somewhere else and wait for rage?

On my tank, I have Rage slotted 2 recharge and 2 to hit buff. I have my Foot Stomp slotted with 2 dam, 2 recharge and 2 end reds. I also run "perma" Hasten.

This caps me against +1s, but still gives me 76% to hit against +4s ( lowest level purple minions ) which I think is enough especially as it means Foot Stomp is up more. I'm an Ice tank so my taunt aura is auto hit.

My reasoning on only 2 damages is that I was doing badly for endurance and I figured perma-Rage with it's large damage buff means that recharge is probably more important than damage, especially for keeping aggro, but also for damage over time.

on Brimstone i slotted 1acc 2end 2recharge, with rage up the damage is nice enough without slotting imo whilest the endurance cost is a bit nasty ( endcost is 18 iirc )
