Dumb, Dumb, Stupid, Dumb!

ok, so i messed up and need help.
been playing for 4 years (as of yesterday) and have had terrible altitis since day one. to compound that problem (not really a problem, i love all 10,000 toons i made ) i SUCKED at making money in this game (thanks for fixing that Firespray), which should be expected when 99% of my toons stall around lvl 25.

but due to a love affair with my new toon, who i've played straight thru till 35, and some advice on how to make da moniez, i found myself in a new "realm" of the game. seriously planning out IO sets. before i never had enough money to bother. so now that i'm a freaken high roller i started grabbing some key IO's i wanted, first off, Performance shifter unique...... and promptly placed it in electric field in my armor set..... three days later i find out, i'm giving baddies more energy to continue to punch me in the face.....IO FAIL!

so the freespec will be used toot sweet, but i need some info on where i SHOULD stick this IO (no smarta$$ comments please, i know what you're thinking). my toon is a km/elec brute, was thinking of putting it in the end drain power in elec armor, but that's a target based drain power, so maybe it just gives them back some end..... can i put it in energize? it has an end component to it, not sure it will allow it. or do i put it in stamina, will it actually proc in stamina? or as a km/elec brute do i not have a power that it will work in?


someone please help a dummy out....


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

Stamina is a good place for it, however for a reliable recovery rate it's best spot is a third slot after two straight End Mod IO's worth. On the other hand, with the abundant recovery tools available to electrical armor you could just put an end mod IO and that proc into a two-slotted Stamina and call it a day. It will check every 10 seconds, but while it provides a good average endurance per second those ticks may come very far between.

Stamina.

Also, it's not unique. If you were to have other powers like Quick Recovery or Physical Perfection they go well in there as well.

Put it in Stamina, it will have a achance to proce once every 10 seconds.

Energize does not take Endurance Modification IOs so you can't put it there.

Power Sink will have the same problem as lightning field. The proc is set to give endurance to the Target of the power. Since Lightning Field and Power Sink target enemies it doesn't help in those powers.

ok, thanks for the replies, into stamina it goes, with a couple end mods.
and, it's NOT a unique you say? wonderful, i get another chance to screw it up.......
kidding, i'll pick up the physical perfection later, and will pop one in there as well.

thanks folks

If cash isn't a problem, I like to triple slot Stamina with a Performance Shifter: Recovery (same boost as a generic IO End Mod), Performance Shifter: Chance for +End, and a generic End Mod IO.

It's the same amount of recovery, but with a +5% run speed/jump speed/jump height/fly speed bonus -- which admittedly isn't much, but if I do something similar in Quick Recovery, that's 10%. <shrugs>

The optimal path for slotting it in Stamina would be to 4 slot Stamina and have from the Performance Shifter set EndMod, Chance, EndMod/Rech and EndMod/Accuracy. This will give you more Recovery than most other approaches if you're willing to 4 slot.

If you're going with Energy mastery for a Brute, you have access to Superior Conditioning, which will ALSO accept the Performance Shifter proc.

Damned Willpower brutes can slot four of the freaking things.
