A huge AOE 30 second -Resistance debuff? Very useful indeed. It increases the damage you and your team will do to affected enemies by almost a quarter. |

I've taken all of Ice Blast (except Ice Bolt) and I've skipped Soothing Aura and Share Pain, which so far has given me a good balance between teaming and soloing without the need to spend a lot on enhancements/crafting for two builds. Power Pool-wise I have Fitness, Hasten and Super Speed. So, to my point (!) - how useful is Anguishing Cry? I've only just got it and slapped an available end red in it. It seems to recharge fairly quickly, even without Hasten active. I have already garnered one opinion from a teammate last night who said they had the same sets and didn't find the power particularly useful. Thoughts and opinions please. |
Max out the recharge and, if you can afford it stick an Achilles Heel -Resist in it too.
Carnifax is right, AC is extremely useful and rounds out pain nicely. It adds to more debuffs and makes my Rad/Pain corr quite beast being able to heal/damage/debuff/buff.
My Slotting:
Analyze Weakness: Acc/Rech
Analyze Weakness: Acc/Def Debuff
Achilles Heel: Chance for Res Debuff
Touch of Lady Grey: Def Debuff/Rech
Touch of Lady Grey: Def Debuff/Recharge/End
Touch of Lady Grey: Rech/End
