This toon is for teaming mostly doing ITF/LGTF until the magical "Endgame content" shows up that is.

Any way I was trying for perma Hasten failed/succeeded depending on how you look at it. I already have most of this too on an older build that's not as good I have one of the LoTG's and the Nemua already, I don't know about the Kismet just yet I may save up the merits and get it that way.

If I ever can I plan on getting a Armageddon set for Nova and a Ragnarok set for Explosive Blast (minus the procs) but that's a long term plan.

You will no doubt notice that I have almost no defense that because this is not for soloing and IMO I don't need it when I am soloing I have so much KB and damage its ether dead or not attacking me.

This is also going to be a test run for the Force Feedback +rechge procs because I can slot them in ALL my attack powers I'm going to see if they go off enough to make doing so worth wile which will require another build with less golble recharge but well see how this works first.

Scorpion Shield is just a mule for a 7.5. Same deal with Rise of the Phoenix I would still take it but I wouldn't put a Positron's Blast in there.

A few things I would like to do is fit as many 2 pice sets of Air Bursts in as possible. (If you don't know Air Burst has a GOLBLE bonus to Knock Back for 2 pices) As well as staying close to the fly speed cap as I can (its 58.68 I think) Fly speed thing is for RP (In my head she can go hypersonic E.G. Mach 5+) As for the Air Bursts well I just so happen to LIKE Knock Back ... in fact you could say I'm obsessed with it.

Aaaaaaaannny way...... moving on.


I'm looking for suggestions mostly on any thing else I can do. Inf IS limited but I have an MM so I can farm for most any thing eventually it just takes time

Nobody has ANYTHING to say about Power picks, sloting, or IO's? Any thing at all? I would like to think that this is a good plan to go with but, I was hoaping some one would at least disagree with me on something.

huff puff I heard welcome disagreement and got here as fast as I could

Okay, so:

Most importantly, you need more slotting in Melt Armor. You can steal slots from Warmth and Cauterize, put them in MA. You want maxed out recharge and an Achilles -res proc in it.

Slotting on Heat Exhaustion: you need more. You want this to recharge as fast as possible and you want it to hit. I recommend 2 acc, 2 recharge.

Your endurance is gonna be pretty touch and go when you've got a whole team to shield. You're paying 15.6 end per person, or 109.2 end to shield a full team. No Conserve Power or Power Sink, you're gonna be sucking wind fast. Try and bring the end cost of the shields to 4-5 end, it'll help a lot.

Thaw recharges fast enough as is, you don't really need a recharge in it. An end redux or a range is what I'd put in it.

I'd change APPs if I were you. Either Mu for the CP or GW for Power Boost. ATM the only defense you've got to stack Scorp shield with is Hover.

Level of global recharge is good, but I'd try to get more +hp and +rec in there. Therming and blasting can be very end heavy.

Here's a rough draft of how I'd do it:

Slighly less recharge, much endurance and key power slotting. I took the FFB proc out of Explosive Blast for two reasons. Firstly, you don't really need the FFB proc in more than one AoE attack and secondly, Explosive Blast can be pretty obnoxious so you want to be using Torrent more anyway.

I've also got a Thermal guide in my sig if you want to take a look.

Hope this helps.

For some reason I can't open your build in Mids says it can't read it. Also do you know how the procks work in Explosive blast and Melt armor I thought they only had one chance to go off when you activated the power. Because there AOE's do they have a chance for everything they hit?

EDIT: NM Paragon Wiki FTW

Quote:
Procs which affect targets have a chance of activating for each target the power 'hits.' This makes Procs slotted in area of effect powers very beneficial; more so if it's a continuous area of effect like rains and patches.
I wonder if it stacks tho for example if I use EB on a span and say it Procks twice and then I use ET and it procks once. do I now have +300 recharge or +200?

Don't worry about Explosive Blast I know how and when to use it and if my KB is an issue for the team I'll leave and make my own dam team.

This is my current build it what I have slotted on live it has many of the things your saying my new build needs but it has its problems as well.

Nah, it doesn't stack. There's also a suppression period, so when you get the buff you can't get it again for another 15 seconds (or so, I forget the exact number).

So if you hit a spawn with Torrent, the proc will check to go off on each target hit, even if it successfully goes off on 3 of them you'll only get the buff once.

Edit: just tried pasting my data chunk into mids, worked fine for me.
