I was already thinking of going Power Mastery before I heard of the PBU combo purely for concept reasons, but was leaning towards Leviathan Mastery, as the armor power is available as a first tier pick (the Cold Resist fits concept too), but with that PBU combo, I'm almost feeling like I HAVE to pick it.|

Haven't decided yet though. I think I'll have to wait for the new mids to really make that choice and see how many power options/slots I have.
But totally going DP/Time/Power or Leviathan.

Maybe it is the low damage that bothers me. I understand we all have out pet peeves. I for one don't mind cones but I LOATHE kb especially on teams. I'll tolerate it but it makes me shudder whenever I see it...it's still the only reason why I avoid Peacebringers and Energy Blast.

I don't blame people for skipping it (though I really don't like cones or Knockback very much, so I always pick NBomb over Electron Haze as my 2nd AoE). I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine. |
I'll be honest, I love Time Manipulation so much, my thoughts were when choosing powers...
"Aw man, I have to choose something else?"
I have felt myself wanting to choose all of the time manipulation powers because they all look so darn juicy and delicious! The Time Manipulation set is GREAT and I find myself loving it the more I spend with it, which makes it hard that I have to wait to get beam rifle (cannon) from the paragon market. I wish they put that kind've thought into regeneration to be honest...
With my set bonuses, chrono shift and hasten I will have 213.75% rech, I could get more but it's not worth it. It will def be perma. So will farsight, and along with that amazingness I am BR as primary as a corr.
BR/Time corr is a VERY busy and interactive set, against 1 target, you provide A LOT of debuffs with good damage still.
Don't forget all the buffs aswell, and the very good possible aoe. Burnout, who wants to see 2 Overcharge's in a row?!
Or I forget to hit hasten and chrono shift is down too long, burnout..lol

Thematically, my Fire/Time (named Flame of Entropy) explains her fire powers as an extension of her time manipulation powers; she increases the entropy of matter until it falls apart at a massively accelerated rate; in other words, it basically burns or boils away. Literally burning if it can rust or otherwise oxidize; the difference between rust and burning largely being how fast it happens after all.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
BR/Time, even with redraw really isn't that bad, I have an amazing build I am putting together now, sadly I couldn't make it as advanced as my bane/widow builds I had, where I got their end recov to like 3.84 each..This build IS slot hell, not as bad as a kheldian though.
Some powers can only really have common IO's, and others only 4/6 of a set. It's definitely ESPECIALLY hard to do it without mids.
But the build is not that bad.
Anyone else being underwhelmed by [Distorion Field]?
I'm finding the Hold doesn't trigger that often and the slow not to be all that effective.
Currently I have it just slotted with a Lockdown Proc, hoping once I get a Hold Set in it with ACC, that MAY make it better, but so far *sad face*

As it stands the only time I *really* use it is during the prisoner portion of the BAF. With the spiritual alpha enhancing slows and a build with a pile of recharge. Its easy to keep 2 bubbles perma with a third one out for a while as well. Mostly though its a cool looking power that seems mostly for show. Currently I have it slotted with 4 Bas Gaze + Lockdown Proc. |

Solo its not that bad horrible in the sense of.... soft cap your defenses with PB Foresight, herd things up with the toggle, pop a slow field and go to town. Less things run, some things get held. I went BR, so wait for Overcharge or Void to recharge, then nuke away. Its a fun toon to play but certainly not the most effective.
