Ninja/Time help

Pricey Socks · 09-27-2011 09:02 AM

I just updated mids so it has time and beam and all the new goodies now, and I found out that it looks like I'm gonna have lots of extra spots for powers to play with. Not sure if I took the right ones, and I really don't know what I should be slotting.

PS I took grant invisibility to bump def up that much more. Does that make sense?

Edit: D'oh, I failed to notice the words I must have read.

Try Oppressive Gloom instead of Grant Invisibilty. Mezzing enemies helps survivability a lot more than a little bit of defense, plus the health cost for each enemies is negligible and easy healed.

I already have maneuvers at 14. My reasoning for grant invisibility is I was running out of ideas for powers. I figured I could just cast grant invis on my pets before a big battle. I wouldn't bother trying to keep it up, but it might be nice to have at least in the beginning

I made a mistake and updated my post with a new suggestion.
Oppressive Gloom will help since you'll likely be in range for it anyway due to Time's Juncture and all.

Here's a Frankenslot solution I'm looking at for Distortion Field. Turns it into a very "sticky" yet powerful Control power for a Ninja/Time Mastermind.

Level 16: Distortion Field

Curtail Speed - Endurance/Recharge/Slow: Level 30
Impeded Swiftness - Endurance/Recharge/Slow: Level 30
Tempered Readiness - Endurance/Recharge/Slow: Level 50
Pacing of the Turtle - Endurance/Recharge/Slow: Level 50
Basilisk's Gaze - Chance for Recharge Slow: Level 10
Lockdown - Chance for +2 Mag Hold: Level 30

This slotting combination yields a Movement Speed Crash to debuff cap (keeping hostiles within the AoE longer), a Proc chance to Recharge Crash to debuff cap (with this power alone), and a Proc chance to Hold (stack to Mag 4 or 5). This combination should prove to be remarkably effective against higher level hostiles, up to and including +4s.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Redlynne · 09-28-2011 04:18 PM

Here's my "stab" at a Ninja/Time/Mace build, designed to Buff/Debuff its way to the Defensive Softcap at higher levels. The */Time side of the build is strongly oriented towards CONTROL, especially with Distortion Field, so as to give the Ninjas the "time" they need to live long enough to dish out their damage. I figure that if I can keep my Ninjas alive, they'll live long enough to output some serious damage throughput.

This build uses Team Teleport (of all things) to "mobilize" the Ninjas and keep them "in formation" so as to make maximum use of positioning with Time's Juncture to achieve best results. Team Teleport has also been slotted with use of it as a Travel Power in mind, even though the "teleport and float" effect is not conferred onto anyone other than yourself (meaning Ninjas can drop out of the sky very easily using Team Teleport).

With Spiritual Alpha slotting, Hasten is perma, and Chrono Shift is 4 seconds shy of being (90 second +Recharge duration) perma ... which isn't bad for a "budget" build with no purple sets in it.
