I see, but does it offer softcapped ranged Def? I only see one thunderstrike and some LotGs but only for recharge.
Yep im a werewolf, I fight crime and I enjoy what I do.
Yep. You need ~37 to each positional before powerboost. Powerboost will affect all the defense buffs for 15 seconds, EXCEPT for farsight. Farsight will receive the boost for it's entire duration as long as it is cast inside the 15 second Powerboost window.
The powerboosted portion of farsight is 7.37%, so you need to get to 45 - 7.37 (37.62) with all other methods to have 45% at all times. My melee and AoE values are slightly above, and ranged is off by less than 1/2%, so very acceptable to me.
Also, don't forget you get a MASSIVE 19% debuff to tohit on anything within 25 feet of you via Time's Juncture. Interestingly enough... that softcaps you to the 64% on incarnate trials.

Thanks guys for the advice! Admittedly I would have liked to have the softcap on at all times but I guess that is impossible with this build.

Not at all, this build *is* softcapped at all times. You just have to remember to hit powerboost before hitting farsight.

Rather than starting a new thread, I would like to ask a follow up question for Power Boost/Build-up. If I use PBU before dropping my Force Field Generator from Traps set does the PBU bonus continue for the entire time the FFG is up?

I don't have any practical experience with that, but I would think the answer would be yes, since the FFG is not a toggle but rather a cast. I know that it works this way for single target bubbles from force field users.

Sweet. Well that makes for a perma power boosted FFG.

Last I knew it didn't. While it's a cast, it's treated as a toggle.

IIRC, PBU does not work on pets.

Only to point out that it is possible (I would still stick with how you have gone) if you have all the LoTGs at lvl 50 instead of lvl 25 the ranged def moves above the softcap

Nope - the FFG power summons a pet. That's all it does, and power boost/buildup won't improve that. The pet casts the bubble.

Edit: I just checked, and was able to fit in Melee softcap, too.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Sort of. That assumes that all enemies are within 25ft, and that there are fewer than 16 of them within that radius. It also assumes that your enemies are even-con (up-level enemies resist debuffs), which they're not. A level 51 facing lvl54 baddies only does 65% debuff, a level 53 vs 54s does 90%. That said, it's still a very large and very lovely debuff. |

Hmm, you are correct. I had forgotten to take into account level scaling. Fortunately there are also inspirations and the FUN factor. For *years* I wanted a pistol scrapper, and I now effectively have one. |

I made a DP/time corrupter and now im wondering how I might get him softcapped for ranged def.? Is this possible? I know IOs will be neccesary but tips on what powers to take along with IO sets would be appreciated.
