Hi, I just respec'd Stormie AGAIN mostly after quick reading Local Man's Ill/Rad guide gave me some ideas for improving my IO placement in PA and Phantasm.

This build was built mainly for PvP, well PvP prior to I-13, and therefore I have focused on recovery and regen as my top priorities. Also why I have Assault and Tactics in the build. However, the build seems to do pretty well in PvE as well, at least I think so. The whole math thing of figuring out percentages etc. eludes me so I rely on Mids info.


I am open to suggestions...So watcha think?

Well, as I say you never quit learning and when it comes to a build doubly so! This morning I changed a couple of the enhancements to add some kb protection and I have decided to take a slot away from hurricane and add it to spectral terror the next respec I get to get more rchg from set bonuses.

I think you need to focus on one play environment or the other. A pvp build can work adequately in pve because pve is really easy, but a pve build usually won't work in pvp.

If you are aiming for pvp then you should think about pushing your kb protection up to around 41, keep nice high hp, get around 50% global rech, tactics, and hibernate.

In addition to that you need to slot hasten, swap LS for end draining IO's.

If you are aiming for pve then I think you've put too much focus into hp and non-essential bonuses. ie full set of lady grey, or the full set in tactics, or the full set of lotg in sup invis.

Steamy+stealth IO is on par with sup invis, better in some ways, worse in others, but costs way less endurance.

I'm not a fan of picking the psi app unless you are actually going to use it. That means focusing a lot of your build around improving Indom Will's uptime. If you are just fitting in two underslotted powers then hib+ice shield or even conserve power + temp invuln would be better imo.

You should try to fit an achilies -res proc in FR. It will make you munch through tougher targets very quickly.

Anyway, just a few thoughts I had.
