Human Form PB

It's been a long while since I've played my peacebringer. I was once a huge fan. I wrote a really long guide. I wrote a story, they put it in the comic. I was attached to him. But the change that stopped us from detoggling forms mid-animation basically ruined the feel for me.

Fast forward: Issue 21. Perma-Inner Light and Perma-Light Form, along with the several-issues-old buff to human form base damage indexes, make a pure human form attractive to me. That, and some seriously expensive IOs, and a reasonably large number of enhancement boosters, and you have something fairly abusive.

The goal here is to go ahead and be the "all things at once" PB. It can AoE blast, melee pretty rapidly for high damage, and tank using Provoke. And it can bomb out some fairly good heals in the process if needed. (And honestly, glowing touch is pretty amazingly cool looking, that short range just ruined it. Yay!)

Note that almost anywhere where stats aren't capped (the IOs in inner light, all of the 3 dual-type IOs like the trio in Light Form) I'm probably using enh boosters.

(Oh, and the group energy flight with the weird IOs is really quantum acceleration.)

You wasted a slot in Energy Flight. One slotted with a flight speed IO takes it over the flight speed cap.

Even with quantum acceleration up?

Your build looks pretty strong, though you may run into some endurance problems with some of your attacks, namely radiant strike and photon seekers (since it will recharge much faster now). Conserve energy will help with that, but it isn't perma. I'd also recommend taking out the scirocco proc in flare for the +recharge proc, but that's personal preference.

Edit: Looking over your build some more--you'll probably be ok end wise. You don't have any toggles, so the only issue will be long fights.

I personally don't really like the superprocing, I think you could get more mileage out of your build slotting the full purple sets and topping each of your attacks off with the -res proc.

A big part of the appeal Human Form only has for me is the massive amounts of defense you can build- Resistance is great but it will only get you so far. I feel like your survivability would be an issue if you planned on soloing tough content, ie: 54x8 Arachnos/Malta/Soloing AV's.

Slotting full purple sets will also get you more recharge which can never hurt. Since money doesn't seem to be an issue for you, have you seen my Human Form PB build? Here are some of the stats, maybe if you like them you can use the build for some ideas.

-167.5% Global Recharge (Perma Light Form and some breathing room)
-85% Resistance to s/l/f/c/e/n
-77.9% Resistance to Toxic (85% w/Essence Boost)
-31.6% s/l defense (will be higher in game since combat flight is providing positional only in Mids)
-29% Melee Defense, 27.2% Ranged Defense, 22.9% AoE Defense
-251% Regeneration, 1457 HP (2145 w/Essence Boost)
-110 Max Endurance, 4.94/s End Recovery
-Resistance Debuff Procs in every attack that will be used (Aside from Photon Seekers)
-Fantastic Enhancement Values

edit- My build has enough recharge to have a single target attack chain without using glinting eye, and yours should too.

That's definitely inspiringly good. I'll have to play around with this and see how it feels and then chase defense depending on how it performs; but I like what you did a lot. One issue is that I'd like to be able to provoke to hold aggro, and throw out heals, since it feels like there's a lack of healing sometimes in things like Keyes, so I like the idea of being able to mix it up. Still, all that defense is nice.

I'll have to do some math with the procing; I think it will be worth is because you get so many chances to proc on those fast recharge/low cast attacks.

Well, my slotting would be differen without enh boosters. I am actually ED capping in a lot of places it doesn't show via ~100 boosters. (all the res/rech and heal rech are +5s, all the attacks are dmg capped that way)

Yeah, I don't think I'd pay for them independently. But I bought like 20k points of other stuff (mostly ah/salvage/recipe/enh inventory storage boosts which are all account wide). That gave me like 17 reward tokens, but I already had all tier 1-8 and the tier 9 VIP stuff from being a long time vet. So you can trade those extra reward tokens for 25 boosters each.

I'm curious about your defense and resistance. How's the survivalblity? Just curious.

Here's my Human-Only PB build. It's served me pretty well so far.

I'm curious since we have the legends of the AT here, what do Plasma and Matt King think of the change to Lightform so it no longer turns you into a ball of light? Like it or not like it?
Do you think it's a good trade off for the increased utility and perm?

Not trying to start anything I'm just curious since you're both well known members of the Kheldian community

Oh, no problem at all.

First, /blush.

As far as the light form changes, I'm a fan. I was inspired to make a human form partially because, thematically, a Peacebringer fits really well with the sweet new celestial wings. Floating around as a ball of light 100% of the time would ruin that.

Of course, I think the changes are as much or more of a boost to tri-forming as they are to human form play; but I've been meaning to "try out" human-only since the damage coefficients were boosted back in Issue 13. I always did like the "do it all" thing, which is why I am not giving up on things like Glowing Touch and Provoke in my human build... if I can't seriously multitask, then I'd rather just go with forms.

I will say that the mez protection from Light Form is definitely very light. I'm probably still going to be inclined to run Clarion as a destiny power.

I feel like there's still room to buff PBs, though. I could see changing Pulsar to be mag 3 100% of the time rather than a 50/50; I could see swapping the toggle shields to be defensive toggles instead; I could see boosting human form ranged/melee coefficient to 1.0 like SoAs. Still, things are a mile ahead of where they used to be.

Anyhow, I'll post an update to my OP build once I get my hands on a Panacea: Heal. I realized you can use quantum flight+quantum acceleration now for high speed flight, so I'm revamping.

No blushing allowed Plasma! Your guide is what helped me create my awesome Warshade which I used to convince people who refused to make Kheldians want to try them out after seeing how awesome I was form dancing all over the map. Run into a group Eclipse Double Mire Nova BLAAAAAAAST Drop form raise a Fluffy pet eat the souls of the dead to heal up, rinse repeat. Goooood times. Sadly, like you, after the form shifting changes I didn't care to play anymore so my Warshade kinda is stagnating.

But hey, Interesting replys. Thanks for letting me know you guy's thoughts

I agree about the Celestial wings look. I might integrate that into a costume for my PB somehow
