Slotting Health and Stamina


BrandX

 

Posted

I'm working on a MA/SR build, and I've checked a couple of threads already (builds, guides, etc.), but I see a lot of different slotting for Health, Stamina and Physical Perfection.
I was wondering what is considered the best slotting for those three powers, assuming I'm not necessarely interested in set bonuses, and that I'd like to get the most recovery and regen possible.

It'd be great if I could get high-end (expensive) slotting ideas, as well as optimum slotting with cheap sets. I've seen a lot of people put 5 slots in Health, and 4 in Stamina. Health having a mix of Numina, Miracle and Regen. Tissue, and Stamina having 4 from Performance Shifter. I've also seen 6 slots in both, with full sets as opposed to mixed. Also, I haven't seen much slots devoted to Physical Perfection and I was wondering if there was a specific reason behind this. Slotting suggestion for that one would be appreciated as well.

As an aside, I have a similar question for the defensive toggles (focused fighting, etc.): 4 slots, or 5? I've seen both.

I'd really like to be able to aim for something, and get the slotting "right" without needing multiple respec's.

Thank you!

Personally, if I wasn't going to slot Health with the +RECOVERY uniques, I'd just keep it 1 slotted with 1 HEAL IO, in it.

On a /SR anyways. The Regen from it won't make that big of a difference.

Now, if I have slots left over, then okay, I might put one or two more slots in it. But I doubt Id have the slots left over.

Actually, it will. Since */SR is completely devoted to damage mitigation, any source of damage recovery is going to provide a large increase in survivability. That's one of the big reasons why you see so much heavy enhancing of Health in most top end */SR builds.

Personally, the way I'd do it:

Health: Regen Tissue +Regen, Numina Heal, Numina Heal/End
Stamina: Perf Shifter Proc, Perf Shifter End Mod, Level 50 Common End Mod
Perf Shifter: Perf Shifter Proc, Perf Shifter End Mod, Level 50 Common End Mod, Numina +Regen/+Recov, Miracle +Recov

Of course, it's done that way mainly to maximize endurance sustainability with the fewest slots possible. With such slotting, Phys Perfection is actually giving you more +recov than Stamina and Health is giving you a healthy 122% +regen. If you had the extra slot, I'd drop a Numina's Heal/Rech into it so that you'd get a tad bit more +regen (138%) and more +hp. Anything over that is going to be wasting enhancement values. There really isn't a point, as far as I can see, of putting more than 3-4 slots into a single attribute power.

Yeah, stacking different forms of mitigation is best, but maybe I just didn't notice the +Regen helping the survival of my /SRs.

Hits that broke through the Defense on a constant basis, just seemed to out do the regen as well.

When the defense stood, regen didn't seem to matter as much. Of course, my DB/SR had Aid Self, and my DM/SR had Siphon Life.

Agreed, you need that regen if you plan on fighting anything significant such as 8 man spawns, EBs, AVs etc. I would also suggest adding as much extra HP as you can through Accolades and bonuses.

I have several SRs and slotting depends on what bonuses I can get from slotting the primaries as well as character concept. My DM/SR is setup to farm large mobs so I have the following slotted (my only MA is regen):

Health
Numina's Convalescence - +Regeneration/+Recovery
Regenerative Tissue - +Regeneration
Miracle - Heal/Endurance
Miracle - Heal
Numina's Convalescence - Heal/Endurance
Miracle - +Recovery

Stamina
Endurance Modification IO
Endurance Modification IO

Level 1: Focused Fighting
Luck of the Gambler - Defense
Luck of the Gambler - Defense/Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Defense/Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Run Speed +7.5%

Level 4: Focused Senses
Serendipity - Defense
Luck of the Gambler - Recharge Speed
Serendipity - Defense/Endurance
Serendipity - Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Run Speed +7.5%

Level 16: Dodge
Serendipity - Defense/Endurance
Serendipity - Endurance
Serendipity - Endurance/Recharge
Luck of the Gambler - Defense
Luck of the Gambler - Recharge Speed

Level 28: Lucky
Defense Buff IO
Luck of the Gambler - Defense
Luck of the Gambler - Recharge Speed

Level 30: Agile
Defense Buff IO
Defense Buff IO
Luck of the Gambler - Recharge Speed

Level 35: Evasion
Serendipity - Defense/Endurance
Serendipity - Defense
Serendipity - Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Defense/Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Run Speed +7.5%

Level 44: Weave
Luck of the Gambler - Recharge Speed
Luck of the Gambler - Defense
Gift of the Ancients - Run Speed +7.5%
Luck of the Gambler - Defense/Endurance
Gift of the Ancients - Defense/Endurance
Luck of the Gambler - Endurance/Recharge


The above combined with bonuses from slotting the primaries (as well as 3 slotted Zyphers in SS and SJ) gives me 47% positional defense, 24 HP Recovery/Sec, and 3.11 End Recovery/Sec.


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Just dinged 24 on my new toon last night after playing all week-end. Of course, no IO in the build yet, but having a clue as to where to slot is helpful. I suppose someone can go many different ways in the slotting of Health and Stamina. Assuming I have the Merits for it, I'd love to slot Health with 5 (total) slots, and Stamina with 4. I'm just worried that I'll never have the Influence necessary to get the good recipes (looking at you regen/recover recipes!). I figure I should have enough Merits at some point to get one or 2 good recipes. Red Fortunes seem to be pretty cheap. I wanted to make sure I could get a full set of Gaussian and the +3% Def in Steafast, as to help getting to the cap for defense. The rest of the sets I'm planning on getting are all reasonnably priced as well. And I think I'll be able to get the stamina proc recipe for Perf Shift. But assuming I'll bever have the Inf for the Health uniques, I'm really torn in how to spend the slots in Health. Seems like the slots could be used elsewhere (keeping only 3 in Health). See my build (so far) below. Sorry, no datachunk (at work right now, and this is what I emailed myself from home, don't have MID's here)... I'm also unsure that I want to go with Body Mastery as opposed to Weapons with Caltrops and Shuriken. Anyway, thoughts and comments are welcome!

--EDIT-- I just noticed that the top part of the build doesn't match with the bottom... I was playing around with different slotting options and sets... The top part is actually what I'm planning on doing. The difference is that the bottom part has 6 slots in health and Stamina, with full sets, and only 3 (total) slots in Physical Perf. So the totals for bonuses would change a bit for defense since I might not be using the full Numina and Perf Shift set. But I believe I'd be at cap anyway. I'm new to using MID's, so errors are entirely possible.
