Impossible To Kill?
Ill/rad for sure
grav/storm maybe
Id imagine ice/rad as well
Assuming unlimited budget builds, those powersets are as close to "cosmic lvl" power as this game will allow.
bots/traps for sure as well.
My favorite combo is Faceplant/DebtCap with the TeamWipe Ancillary

My elec/sd is pretty darn impressive with soft capped def and all teh regen/stamina procs.
*puts on baggy-*** pants*
Stop. Grammar time! *does MC Hammer dance and immediately looks chagrined* |
Ferris said it best when talking about his friend being able to stick a lump of coal up his *** and in 2 weeks having a Diamond.
Id say the same goes for you as well.
Your post made my brain hurt. A fully-slotted SL heals around 40 hp/second within the MG>Smite>SL>Smite chain, which is the top ST DPS attack chain for DM/ and is one of the highest ST DPS possible for a Scrapper when SD is taken into account. Right now, DM/Shield is sitting at the top of the Scrapper DPS chart for Pylon runs at 289 dps.
As far as pairing DM/ with a Def-based secondary, SL's self-heal plus a soft-capped Defense and 95% DDR is as good as it gets for survival without impacting your DPS with Aid Self when the rare hit does get through your Defense. |
You remind me of a old friend named Walt Maki, and even the face on your Avatar looks like him.
Your also as number crazy as he is, which doesnt count for much until you put tactics behind your game play.
What makes Gravity Storm any stronger than any other controller with Storm as a secondary?
|
Standing in that with hurricane on all that you have to worry about would be AoE and range damage. And again on an unlimited budget build those 2 positional defenses would be softcapped.
Lightning storm and sleet for damage...
My favorite combo is Faceplant/DebtCap with the TeamWipe Ancillary
|
*Baseless claim that DM does nothing to increase survivability*
|
*Facts, hard truth, proof that DM increases survivability while maintaining its maximum possible single target damage.*

I dont care if you like my Sig or not, its my right to let people know how I feel about them constantly nit-picking about grammar, as if they are smarter then everyone else.If that was the case, why are they on a computer playing a video game instead of curing world hunger or cancer?
By the way, yes, I have the nerve to give someone a swift uppercut if they get in my face like many do these days.I dont think its funny to have someone trying to look cool by getting in someone elses face to cuss, spout how superior they are to that person, or threatening someones life, or simply telling them they will kick my ***.
I will kick someones *** if they offend me enough, or get in my face, no questions asked.American people wouldnt be the wusses they are now days if people acctually stood up for them selves, and yes, I am a American.

I'm sorry kid, but you're on a mental battlefield. Real strength doesn't matter here. I don't care if you are some martial artist, a black ops marine, or the likely fat, greasy haired, voice cracking, acne covered, speech impeded, friendless teenager.
You're not so much bringing a knife to a gunfight, as you are bringing "I play da foosball" to a chess game.

I have to go with DM/Shield as well. I saw my friend IO the hell out of one and then stand in a room full of Rikti bosses. Not only did he survive but he took them all down. With soul drain and against all odds and whatever other +damage he had from sets, he was close to 300% +damage much of the time. A shield charge at damage cap is awesome to behold.
He was soft-capped to all 3 positions and the -tohit was just icing.

It is also your right to pick what you see as sub-par playsets for the challenge, then complain about other players not giving you a chance to shine on their teams.
It is also your right to be a generally abrasive ****.
It is everyones right to call you on it, but only if they are American.
Yes, you are an American, thankfully, in my experience, not a typical one.

If you really want to be thorough "Its" should be "It's." Also the comma between "Gods" and the first "and" is unnecessary.

Yes, I think you were somewhat baited by Schismatrix in that post, but your reaction to that post is significantly much more aggressive than what was needed, and you could have put it far, far better.
Anyway, I've said my share. Nobody likes being criticized, and I am calling you on your behavior, which probably annoys you.
I've said this before: You can be a very helpful person at times. However, you have this tendency to be a pompous jerk who thinks everyone should adopt your perceived counter-culture playstyle. You would be far more successful if you would drop the tone in your posts and simply try to be much more affable to everyone and most importantly - don't react to others that criticize you. If you walk away from an argument, it's kind of hard for someone to argue with you.

Which by itself is not a sin; we've all been wrong. The problem that I've seen is that when someone attempts to correct his misinformation he gets defensive and accusatory, and that's where it typically starts to spiral downward.

Like when he told everyone he tanked with his Cold/Cold Defender by killing the entire spawn with just Sleet, Blizzard, Snow Storm. He just forgot to mention he was level 40 and the spawn was level 1 in Atlas Park. LOL
<snyp>
I think a big issue here is aggression. Your posts are almost always passive aggressive, however every once in a while, it is simply aggressive. This stirs up other players, and then, you inexplicably disappear from the topic where the problem gets stirred up. People call that trolling. It is poor forum behavior. However, this isn't surprising from someone who stated that social norms are pointless.

I don't think I've ever actually seen him be really helpful. Most of the time he posts things that are blatantly untrue like saying that using a snipe mid-combat is a great thing for your DPS.

Set Bonus Totals:
He runs a constant 45% defense Ranged/Aoe 33% Psi, uses hover and Force Bubble to avoid melee. Has 44% resist S/L and 35% resist Psi.
A few of his exploits can be found in my Sig: the RWZ challenge and Herding a tower on the ITF.
Nice going, Krogoth.
My suggestion: A Warshade. Get Eclipse Perma, maybe grab some extra Defense if you can, and you're gold. My build (below) focuses primarily on Recharge bonuses. A build mixed with more defense would be more survivable, but I get along just fine.
