Kismet Acc vs 3rd slot in Hasten?

All,

I've got a build for a DM/SR worked out. It is mostly cheap (other than 3 or 4 specific enhancements) but my problem is that I have to decide between the Kismet 6% accuracy multiplier and the 3rd slot in Hasten.

Which way would you go? I think I should probably go Hasten, the 3rd slot shaves 13 seconds off Hasten's time. Still, I love hitting things more accurately. Which would you do?

Here is my build, if it matters.

Thanks,

Lewis

I'd do neither Lewis. You have enough recharge in the build to safely take away a slot from practiced brawler. Or if you exempt alot, I'd take the slot away from Midnight Grasp.

Yeah, I'm not comfortable taking a slot from Practiced Brawler. It would make leveling up hard, and I do exemplar down a bit. As for taking the slot from MG, I'll think about that. I like having the extra rech/end in it, but maybe.

Thanks,

Lewis

The 6th slot, for the Rech Rdx in Shadow Maul reduces it's recharge time by 0.66s.

I really don't think you need to worry about an amount of recharge like that on a power like Shadow Maul.

So there's another option to gain a slot.

Hmm, makes sense. I think I like the idea of taking the last slot from Shadow Maul. Much obliged.

Lewis

And don't forget that the Kismet is mislabeled... it's actually a TOHIT buff, not an accuracy buff which makes it considerably more valuable. It offers the same tohit buff as Focused Accuracy does at zero end cost.

I do think you're correct in pulling that last slot in SM for the Kismet and keeping Hasten 3 slotted.

CMA,

Thanks! I do love me some hit buff!
