Some people don't bother to take the shields at all now.
'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.
hmmm... 52.5* 1.56 = 81.9...
Wow. That's pretty sad. Get the other 3.1% from set bonuses. That's a much better idea.
Well hell... now's the time to get SR Elude turned into a dam-res buff since it's been useless for ages. And we could probably get Castle's claws damage tweak removed, too. Then claws/sr wouldn't be so... weak... again?
Be well, people of CoH.

I made a perma-Light early in that Beta, but it just didn't feel right. I'm still playing my old build, softcapped to Ranged and Melee.
The scary thing is, I have a build in Mids' (an intellectual exercise only) that's currently a fraction of a second away from perma-Light (and Inner Light) with a side order of S/L Defense, a fraction of a point from softcapped. Oh, and I can possibly manage having Essence Boost all the time, too.

So I logged in my PB last night and noticed that the old build up clone was now a better buildup clone. Cool. That makes sense.
Then I recalled that someone was posting about perma-lightform which made me go, huh?
So I started looking at numbers and here's what I found:
Take a PB, take all three shields. Don't bother slotting them for DR.
Take light form and slot it 1 dam-res/3rec-red
Take and 3slot hasten.
Get 110% recharge from IO set bonuses or alpha or whatever.
Slot reform essence 3rec-red/3heal or equivalent
Slot essence boost 3rec-red/3heal or equivalent
1slotted LF = 63% DR to all but psi
+shields = 85.5% DR to all but psi
Capped at 85%.
Can I perma lightform? 95+ 70 + 110 = 275%
Recharge 300sec duration 90sec
300/3.75 = 80 for a 10 second overlap. (You don't even need hasten if you can get 140% global recharge going...it only needs 233% or so.
So perma capped dam-res without the need of dead bodies like the warshade has to have.
What's that 275% recharge do to essence boost, the dull pain clone? Permanent. Sitting on 1500 HP (brute base HP) without any accolades.
And the self-heal? Up every 16 seconds or so healing back 1/3 of your boosted HP.
I take it that PBs can now sit in the middle of +4/x8 spawns without fighting back indefinitely as long as they click their heals from time to time?
Fantastic. The devs really don't care about balance anymore, do they?
Be well, people of CoH.
