*looks over the build again, at numbers, HP levels, recovery/regen rates, slotting, global recharge, defenses, resists*

********. YouTube or go home. (re. AV Soloing) If you can solo AV's with this, even with temps/nukes/shivans, I'd be floored, and will give you at least 100 Million Inf red-side for proof.

Issues (as I see it):
Tar Patch barely perma with Hasten up.
Irradiate with 0% damage enhancement.
Electron Haze only 66% damage enhanced.
Howling Twilight slotted... when you could use those slots elsewhere.
Fearsome Stare slotted for ToHit Debuff, not Fear.
Neutron Bomb slotted for only 53% Damage enhancement.
Petrifying Gaze only slotted for 26.5% Accuracy and Hold.
Proton Volley... if used as a set mule, needs the 5th slot for the Recharge bonus. Otherwise, needs more Damage enhancement.
Much more Mileage from Dark Servant if slotted for ToHit Debuff or Healing, while he has a Hold, his other abilities are MUCH more potent.
School of Sharks can be unneeded, between the lack of Panic causing rains, Tar Patch, and Fearsome Stare.
Spirit Shark Jaws only slotted for 26.5% Hold.
Shark Skin slotted more for Endurance Reduction than Resistance.
Coralax pet at only 68.9% Damage.
No Neutrino Bolt, Aim, nor Darkest Night.

With all Defenses up, you have a max of 16.1% Defense vs. Ranged, 14.8% Defense vs. Energy/Negative Energy, and 9.8% Defense vs. all other types. The ToHit Debuffs from Dark Miasma won't really add that much more effective Defense, especially versus AV's with their high ToHit bonus.
Approximately 25% Resists across the board, excepting Fire and Toxic, and only 14% bonus HP won't give a large cushion versus the heavy hits that will get through.
Decent Global Recharge (33% base, and Hasten), and I think your Endurance is sustainable (no powers over 1.4 EPS with Hasten up, and approx 2.5 EPS recovery), but I don't see you having the DPS or surviveability to take down an AV.

This could work on team builds, but soloing AV's?

Again, only my opinion and my thoughts, your mileage may vary, offer not valid in the Terran Biosphere.

I suppose I should post my build. I'm much too lazy to input it into Mids with all the IOs and whatnot, but here's a picture: Behold

I've also listed the enhancement bonuses on each of the powers for which it isn't obvious (those with IO sets) as well as any procs:

Neutrino Bolt (apoc, shield breaker, touch of LG, achilles' procs)-
Accuracy: 53%
Damage: 53%

X-Ray Beam (touch of LG, achilles' procs)-
Accuracy: 36.7%
Damage: 96.5%

Electron Haze & Neutron Bomb-
Accuracy: 47.7%
Damage: 99.1%
Recharge: 65.1%
Range: 15.9%
Endurance: 47.7%

Irradiate-
Damage: 96.3%
Accuracy: 66.3%
Recharge: 99.7%
Endurance: 18.5%

Proton Volley-
Damage: 91.8%
Accuracy: 47.7%
Interrupt: 50.9%
Range: 12.8%
Recharge: 42.4%
Endurance: 47.7%

Darkest Night & Dark Servant-
ToHit: 57.5%
Recharge: 47.7%
Endurance: 47.7%

Fearsome Stare-
ToHit: 22%
Fear: 73.8%
Recharge: 47.7%
Range: 15.9%
Endurance: 53%
Accuracy: 73.8%

Shadowfall (-KB)-
Resistance: 51.9%
Defense: 22%
Endurance: 21.2%

Combat Jumping (+stealth)
Dark Embrace (-KB)


Noteworthy set Bonuses:

HP: +52
Accuracy: +39%
Recharge: +41.25%
Recovery: +17%


The two slots in Health are reserved for the Numina's Convalescence and Miracle uniques. I know should upgrade some of those lvl 35 IOs to lvl 50. I'll eventually put 5 of the Apocalypse set into Cosmic Burst. Hopefully the price of purples will come down with the AE XP nerf. I was lucky enough to get the proc when it was only 60 million.

I've not tried soloing an AVs with it, so I don't know how it would go over. EBs are cake, though.

I miss quote pyramids. Agreeing with everything Errant pointed out and adding this: If you solo them on villainous, they're not AVs they're only Elite Bosses. Soloing an EB "might" be do-able with that build...maybe...

You can still do quote pyramids, just take longer cause you gotta do them by hand.

And, uh...yeah, that build is special. I have no real constructive things to say about it right now.

Rather surprised that the poll is up again, but mates. What do you think of the build I posted lastly?
