Even did it twice in one raid one time.
After that, I didn't even have to announce in broadcast that I was available for teaming on raids. I'd zone into RWZ and within seconds I'd have an invite showing up on my window.
Then again, I've got a /SR build that is heavily invested in softcapping all of my positional defenses (full power NO GET HITSU is achieved by exemplar level 30 and up!) and which uses a combination of controls (stuns, knockdowns and a hold), recovery (aid self, 5-slot Miracle set) and defenses (all softcapped) to protect myself from incoming damage. So rather than being a One Trick Pony of "just defenses" I've got multiple solutions to situations where defense alone is not enough to keep me alive. Thus, I am by no means or stretch of the imagination "squishy" when it comes to fighting Level 54 Elite Bosses and Giant Monsters.
Conversely though, I would expect anyone who "skimps" on their defenses in favor of offensive DPS output to be relatively squishy versus Level 54s ... because if you're aren't softcapped (and can't stay at the softcap while getting debuffed), you're taking more incoming damage than you can "keep up with" ... which means you're going DOWN. I don't care how much damage buffing you've got on you, you are NOT going to be taking out a Rikti Magus (Level 54 Elite Boss) in 1-3 hits ... and it only takes about 3-4 of their attacks landing on you to make you faceplant. When you're fighting in a Mothership Raid, there is no "downtime" ... no time to rest ... no lack of targets ... and no shortage of hostile aggro. If you can't stay alive on your own, solo, you're not going to be "circling the rim" taking out the heavies at a distance from the center so as to keep the huge radius AoE mezz attacks away from the center (and all the squishies there).
So /SR against Level 54 doesn't have to be "squishy" ... but you'll need to build yours "right" in order to not be (squishy) against that kind of opposition.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
I wanted to have some fun with lightning clap so came up with this build a while ago. Pretty much capped defense, fractions of a percentage from it for ranged/melee, all the important powers etc. Very fun build.

Well, some of their mezz attacks might be considered auto-hit, because they're Mind Control attacks (such as Mass Hypnosis) which don't have positional defense markers on them ... but those attacks don't do damage. There's the stomp the ground, stalactites immobilize you attack, but I'm pretty sure that one's not auto-hit. They've got a ranged lightning attack, which is not auto-hit (near as I can tell) since it doesn't do damage ... although it might be primarily an END draining attack rather than a damage attack. They throw fireballs, and those aren't auto-hit.|

Mind you, when you've got FIVE Rikti Magus aggroed onto you, even with softcapped defenses (and a little extra), hits WILL be "leaking through" your defenses ... simply because there's 5 of them and they're all cycling their attacks into you and the RNG is going to roll that 5% (or better, since they're Level 54 and you're Level 50, so they get ToHit and Accuracy bonuses against you) chance to hit you more than once. Just the sheer number of attacks you're going to be avoiding dictates that some of them will "get lucky" and you'll have to eat the damage (with no resistances to speak of!) from ... something ... every so often. The trick is to have Aid Self recharging in 10 seconds or less so that you can keep healing yourself of the damage that does leak through your defenses. So long as you're not getting hit more than once (or at worst, twice!) per recharge of Aid Self, and your Regeneration rate is "decent" ... you actually CAN hold out, against FIVE RIKTI MAGUS, until the cavalry arrives.
I know.
I've done it.
Repeatedly.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
+4 enemies will have anywhere from 7% to 9% chance to hit you through softcapped defense depending on rank (AVs have slightly over 10%), and do quite a bit more damage.
You'll die if a few hits land in rapid succession, but it's doable.
Question #1
Is elec/sr a possible build for farming?
I've heard that if i want to farm 53-54 that /sr is squishy.
Is this true?
I trying to make a farmer scrapper but i absolutely love "the flash". So SR is always what i want to play as.
Any tips?
Would elec/sr be good for farming anything?
Thanks, Zoner
