Devastation proc
If its a set with no built in mez like fire then 100% worth it. If you have a set like rad blast with cosmic burst its skippable.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Depends on the build. Lots of Fire Blasters use 'em in Flares and Fire Blast, and it's annoying as hell. On the downside, it can somewhat disrupt mez spikes in team matches because it's not exactly predictable as to when it fires.

Hmm....I think perhaps I need to slot these myself. What do you guys think...it's probably ok to switch from 3 SO's worth of acc to 2, right? Then I could fit in an extra proc per attack.
I went to 3 acc in I13 because of elusivity.

probably ok.
My stalkers always shoot for 60/90 Acc/Dmg in their attacks, and if you have
the Kismet 6% ACC somewhere and 9% Acc from Scirocco's Dervish and/or Posi Blast
or whatever, you'll still hit well against most folks in my experience, at least.

there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
on my fire/cold i have the proc in flares. the rationale is that since i've dropped web cocoon for a more team oriented build and slotted a hold proc into web envelope too, i need a chance to mez an opponent that fire's consistently.
i placed it in flares because i don't ever lead with flares in kb's, i generally go in for a blaze and follow up with a fire blast; if the target isn't dead by then, i'll venture out a flares, but the mez spike is already over with.
I try to slot where I room. If I decide yo utilize I like to slap it on the 2 quickest recharge attacks since it is unpredictable when it does go off..
So I prefer to have a few more chances of it going
If you have other accuracy bonuses throughout your build, then that's
probably ok. My stalkers always shoot for 60/90 Acc/Dmg in their attacks, and if you have the Kismet 6% ACC somewhere and 9% Acc from Scirocco's Dervish and/or Posi Blast or whatever, you'll still hit well against most folks in my experience, at least. Regards, 4 |
Hehe, you don't know max then. Max uses SOs. Almost entirely SOs |
If my math is right in that case, that would drop Max down to the ~75%
Acc range (assuming tgt has strong Def). That's probably a Bad Thing.

i think this might be time for supermax to start using level 50 accuracy IOs instead of level 50 accuracy SOs (then you can get away with two of them).
Honestly he can switch to thunderstrikes for about the same price as commons and get some actual set bonuses.

Hey I'm right here! Stop talking about me in 3rd person!
Specifically in this case I was talking about my fire blaster. He's my only toon that's actually IO'd...just no purple or PvP sets. But I do have a really strange build. I guess I can share it with you guys. Basically I'm a big fan of range, so instead of slotting my 2 attacks (flares+blast) with IO's I slot them with HO's. Currently I got them both slotted like this:
1 acc/dmg HO, 2 dmg/rng HO, 2 acc SO, 1 proc
This way, I can outrange pretty much everybody in the game, since no other blaster I know slots his attacks with range HO's over IO's.
I'm debating whether to switch one of the acc SO's to another proc. I have very minimal +acc bonuses (if any at all) since I didn't build for them. So the acc slotted in the attacks would be all I have. But with elusivity basically removed from the game, does it really matter? I mean, before I13, I only had 2 acc SO's on ALL attacks on ALL my toons....and it worked perfectly fine.
I guess I COULD drop 1 dmg/rng HO, but I really don't wanna lose my range. Unless someone tells me that DR makes my slotting useless, when boost range is considered.
Every build I have has a minimum of one cent in the main attack chain. If its a short range power I spam alot it will get 2. You can still get the bonus for 4 slotting a set doing that and get some great actually enhancement buffs. Even pre ios most people(minus test pvpers) completely underestimated how amazing cents are, hell you can still pick them up for 1k most the time.
I do like to 4 slot thunderstrikes in my attacks that aren't in the main chain to pick up some more global acc and some +recovery for very cheap.

Until recently, I pretty much had mine slotted the same way Max:
1xNucleolus, 2xCentriole, 1xHold proc, 1xpvpIO-chance of tox & 1xApoc-chance of neg dmg. With a cpl of the lesser expensive pvpIOs here and there, you can get some +rng as well.

PS, sorry to derail your thread, OP.
I don't think range gets DR'ed. Your Acc prolly isn't going to be DR'ed. Your damage probably won't be DR'ed either.

All this info is wrong. Boost range itslef will get you to were the steep dr curve is hitting range. I still slot at least one cent on my /em toons.

I'm planning on going wth 4 Thunderstrike and 2 Devastation, or the other way around on my Fire/Fire blaster, who is the only toon I actually built for PvP, since I never use him for anything else anymore. The Devastation proc will be in there no matter which way I decide to do it. This is for Flares and Fire Blast, Blaze will get something else.
And just for the record, I didn't make him with PvP in mind. I never build toons just for PvP, I PvP with whatever I happen to have.

Is it worth it to slot these in attacks for a corruptor to maybe disrupt their opponent?
