Siphon Life slotting for DM/Regen


ClawsandEffect

 

Posted

I know I have seen slotting suggestions for siphon life in previous threads but a couple of searches haven't turned any of them up, so I thought I would see if I could get a quick response. This is actually for my dm/regen stalker, not a scrapper but this board gets the most attention, so I am posting here. Currently I have a crushing impact set plus a dampened spirits recharge/end but the character has far to many 5% recharge bonuses from IO sets and this one seems the easiest to drop.

I would like to keep my damage close to the ED cap with at least 40% acc, end reduction and recharge and get as much heal boost as possible. I don't actually care about set bonuses, just the enhancement values. Please, no PVP IO's and no purples, although cheaper hamidon's are possible. This is not a main character although I will probably be using him in redside hami raids so I while I am willing to spend a reasonable amount of cash on him I am not going to go overboard for one attack. I am currently looking to optimize him for occasional play (hami raids, SF's that need a stalker, etc) and the siphon life is the one gap in my build currently.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For enhancement values, I'd go with 4 Acc/Dam/Recharges from different sets, and 2 Heal/Endurances from different Heal sets.

If you have enough recharge you can go with 3 acc/dmg and 3 end/heal HOs and be at 95% for acc, end, dmg, and heal.

Why do you care about the heal boost? You're a */Regen. Damage recovery is something that you don't really need more of. If you're talking about an IO build, I'd much rather get some more defense: 6 piece Touch of Death is what I'd go with.

Thanks for the pointer to the thread, thats the one I was looking for. I am simply not in the mood to slot this character up for def bonuses as its more work and more expense redside than I am in the mood to do with him, for what I feel is fairly small gain since I don't plan on soloing AV's, etc. The build I am contemplating will have shadow meld up every 30 seconds and MoG up every 75 and those two powers cover alpha's pretty well which means all I have to do is build for recharge. I am over the cap on 5% recharge bonuses currently (way over) so I figured I would see if I could get a little extra heal out of siphon life.

I a\will play with the suggestions in the thead Werner pointed out, thanks again folks.

I think I went with one of the slottings suggested in that thread as well...

Acc/Dam HO x2
Heal/End HO
Heal/Rech IO x2 (TotN and DW)
Dam/Rech Hecatomb

Damage - 95%
Healing - 85%
Accuracy - 67%
Recharge - 85%
Endurance - 33%

my SD/DM has 59% global recharge
