Fire/Rad/Psi Biuld for Review ^_^

Had this controller for awhile now, but finaly desided to contiune leveling her, and planning out her IO biuld. Sorry I dont have mids (it hates my computers) so I tried to do this long hand as clean as possible.

Looking for any feedback on any glaring holes I might have missed, and general feedback. I intentionaly avoided purple sets

Goal was to make a solid team Controller with Solid Solo capacity. Perma AM/Hasten/IW was a must (I think I hit it on all 3.... ). I also wanted to see about keeping solid Def. I picked Range Def figureing from play most of the time thats what seems to be the biggest threat to controllers. (being shot up at range by things). Many choices in the biuld were driven by my need to keep recharge and Range Def high, while not gimping damge and other things.

Hoping it balances out well in the end.... So far Controller is 34 and is doing Great

As far as Alpha Slot, Im shooting for Musculature (Radical Paragon)

When I have some time, I'll try to feed this build into Mid's. From what I can see, your slotting for Hot Feet does not have enough EndRdx. Your slotting for Choking Cloud doesn't have enough EndRdx or Hold. Unless you are going for the Cardiac Alpha Boost, you are likely to be gasping for endurance when trying to run Hot Feet, Choking Cloud, Maneuvers, Tactics, Combat Jumping and Mind Over Body. Even more so if you are trying to run Enervating Field with only one EndRdx in it . . . I always use two.

Choking Cloud needs capped Hold and nearly capped EndRdx. My Ill/Rad guide explains how the power works and why you need capped hold.

The knockback proc from Stupify in Flashfire will be frustrating . . . I know since I tried it once. I get that you were aiming for the Ranged Defense, but knocking foes back will be frustrating.

You have a few other things that I would not do, but I tend to go more for Recharge than Defense.

Love your guide btw and thanks for the mids plug.


Currently I have

Hot feet 1 Acc/3 Dam/2 end
Choking cloud 3 End/3 hold.

Plus was running CJ, Man, Tactics, RI + EF and making use of Char, Fire Cages, tossing out Cinders and Flashfire. It wasn't unmangable... but definitely drained.

I'm not properly slotted yet for EndMod, and lack set bonus (currently just SOed).

I did see a mistake on Gaze of Basklisk slotting... Should be Reach/Hold not Acc/Rech for char, Emp and CC. Cinders stays with the Acc/Rech for extra Acc it needs.

Final Mods for Baslisk 4 set (not counting ED)
Acc 55.6% ( 77.4% for Cinders)
End 51.2%
Rech 73% ( 51.2% for Cinders)
Hold 94.6% (73% for Cinders)

Choking Clouds I also have a IO Endredux in pushing it to 93.6%

I figured 94.6% Hold and 93.6% was pretty solid. 3 Green SOs are pushing it to 96% if I recall under ED. 93.6% will be a bit lower with ED but not a massive difference.

I dont plan on running Mind over Body. Its simply a mule for Steadfast +Def.

Stupfy... That slotting I was worried about. The Knockback is that bad? As much as I like my Def were it is... Knocking stuff all over the place on a toon that really likes things clumped up is very bad. Dropping the Knockback would keep the power and my recharge mostly in tack. Loseing 3.13% Range Def kinda hurts however...

Hotfeet slotting...

Numbers
Acc: 62.5%
Dam: 97.7%
End: 62.9%
Rech: 15.2%
Slow: 26.5%

I was having a hard time with this one... trying to get Dam, Def, and proper % in the power.
So Suggestions are most welcome here.

Hot Feet..

I had thought about Franken Slotting Hot Feet, but lose the Def.

Multistrike A/D/E + D/E
Sirccos D/A/E
Oblit A/D/R/E
Tempered Readiness E/R/S and A/E

Gives

Acc: 89%
Dam: 88.7% (Alpha will also add 11% to ED, and 22% past ED)
End: 105.6%
Rech: 40.4%
Slow: 48.3%

Certainly makes for a much more well rounded power.

Changing this one up, and dropping Knockback proc in stupfy.. I lose 4.69% from Range Def.
Dropping me to 27.42% Range Def. (En/Neg both drop to 28.04%).

But does free up 1 slot also...

Here's my build (approximately) if it helps at all.

Thanks again for the imput. I looked over what you guys did, and went back over my build. Noticed a few more issues... like over slotting for Acc in Choking Cloud.. Ops.

Fixed, and adjusted... Lost a good chunk of Def with this mod, however the efficency over all went way up. Still holding 22% Range Def isn't horrible....Not were I wanted to be exzactly. But its very hard to biuld for, well basicly everything and keep Def up

*Still avoided useing purples*

See how you guys like this biuld.

I'm sure everyone plays their Frad differently, but if you're getting the most out of the Choking Cloud/Hot Feet combo, you won't be at range.

Its definitely a valid point. I have been finding however its not the guys that are in my CC/HF that give me trouble its the ones outside it. Also the initate run up/ambushes at range.

Hense why I was focusing on the Range Def. If thier in my CC/HF thier neturalized and Def vs them is kinda moot.

I do wonder if biulding for S/L Defense vs Range Defense might be more beneifical in the long run. Wil see how everthing works as it goes.

If you are going to go for Defense, you get a definite benefit by going for S/L, since you can get an APP shield with S/L defense . . . but you have to give up the mez protection of Indomidible Will.
