I'm alittle puzzled as what to build for. It was my understanding that you build for +dam acc and recharge. That's fine that I understand, however it's come to my attention that people also recommend proc'ting the heck out of their attacks, especially the main hitters like AS and Thunderstrike. My question for that is, if you do that obviously your +damage percentage drops, so is the damage bonus's from IO's significant or if I proc'd my attacks will I barely even notice?. I saw somebodying saying the most damage you probably get is +10 damage points from your attacks so its not worth it as much as people think. My build has about 23% damage bonus. What say you?

The goal is to do all of the above. And don't forget your +HP also. You want 80-100% damage plus 1 or 2 procs. Obviously, hamios, and purple recipes with their much higher than usual bonuses come into play here.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

So whats optimal slotting for most attacks 3 hami's and 3 procs then?, I should forget trying to obtain bonus's via sets in my attacks? How much is the +damage benefit from the bonus's significant or not?

People seem to mix and match. Some attacks get set bonuses, but the main heavy-hitters you don't bother with as mutch recharge or endurance as a PvE build, and you put in 1-2 procs. Not sure I've seen too many 3-procs.

But I freely admit I am a PVP gimp so, best to get advice from the ones who are better at it.

As I understand it, the goal is a few hard hitting powers. not ongoing attack chains.

+dam set bonuses do add up. But they aren't as useful as you might hope.
