Kheld Grace
I see the crummy special IO from the kheld set made it to live... Think it's possible to get changed now?
|
Look at the Mastermind set.
Then look at how many /Recharge bits are in it.
Then remember that no mastermind pets benefit from all that recharge.
Then remember that mastermind pets don't even benefit from the set bonuses.
See? We don't have it that bad.

Dude, we don't even have it bad.

That, in a nutshell, is proof that whoever came up with them had no clue what they were making them FOR.
Just ridiculous.

Well, masterminds should be a little upset too. Scrappers and stalkers seem to have made out nicely...

AIB is probably the only person who bought the Kheldian's Grace set, haha. The resistance bonuses killed it for me. I have plenty of resistance on my Kheldian, thanks. The worst part about this set though is probably the fact that it gave the devs an opportunity to make the unique reduce the mag of KB so that it worked as KD for all powers when slotted. I would have had to start playing my Peacebringer again.
I have the complete set at the Superior level. Sure, it could have been designed better, but I prefer it to the Posi set it has replaced. Of course, if we ever get the rumored 3 more enhancement slots then I'll be able to bring that set back.
Good times.
I just realized my Shadow Bolt has nothing but one empty slot, so I figured I might as well go buy the global enhancement for it... My free points came in too so I bought the super pack things and got a Catalyst. I suppose it's the best use for the default slot in a power I don't use.
My Unchain Essence got a lovely purple set with the copious -rech I couldn't get for PosiBlast, and for that, I have a nice bundle of -rech and my dwarf has more HP.
This makes me a happy squid.
What shall claim a Sky Kings' Ransom?

Actually, now that I look at it a little closer, I think I may be able to work it into one of my builds without losing too much of the bonuses I've already build into it....

Indeed, I have 5 of the Kheld ATO, no need to get the 6th since one of the 5 is the proc. If my math is right, my main Kheld will benefit nicely from the set.
I just picked up a full copy of this set, and I"m looking to grab a second. It's way better than posi's blast.

Now, if you're making it a "superior" set, and you fully plan on utilizing the power you put the set in frequent "exemping," then yeah, it's awesome. But, in upper-level play, it's not a vast difference from Posi--in fact, if you're making a build that requires extra recovery due to many toggles running, it may actually be worse (as a set).
Now, I realize you're speaking from the perspective of a tri-former, so you've got a completely different viewpoint on it (and you're probably mainly referring to the unique form enhancement--which is AWESOME, btw), but...still.
For me to say it's "WAY" better, I'm going to need to make the whole set "superior" first.

Well... Depends on what you're building for. The recharge bonus is only like 2% higher (unless you spend a crapton of money to "hopefully" get the catalyst FIVE TIMES), the acc is lower, and you don't get the nice recovery bonus... So, although I will say the unique enhancement from the set is GREAT, and as a whole it may be marginally better than the Posi set, I wouldn't say it's WAY better...
|
Let me share my secret. I'm not looking at the set bonuses at all. I noticed that the recharge was higher, but not enough to matter. To me, the set bonuses are a wash.
What I'm looking at are enhancement values, and this set is head and shoulders above Posi's Blast. No needless range enhancement. Plenty of recharge in the set itself.
I find this funny. I actually cannot let the set become superior, because at that point I would lose it's 10% recharge bonus thanks to the law of five. I slotted all six pieces of the set in Nova Detonation and used my catalyst on the unique. I keep the recharge bonus that I slotted Posi's blast for, I get better enhancement values, and I get the empowered Form Empowerment.

That's funny.... I never used the ranged IO in Posi's Blast... I always 5-slotted it without it--and without it, the damage values were already in the red (not to mention the "chance for" enhancement). Now, sure, the recharge values are better, but if I'm putting the set in Dark Detonation (which is the only viable spot to put it in my build without screwing up other sets that I don't want to lose), I'm gaining...what? One second? Really? That's the "head and shoulders" you're talking about? Have you completely forgotten about ED? I won't even mention ACC, because if you have any sort of well-built WS, you're going to have ACC built-in to it globally--not to mention you have Sunless Mire at your disposal to make every attack nearly 100% guaranteed to hit.
So, what's this "head and shoulders above" you speak of? If it's not the set bonuses, and the enhancement values aren't gaining me a hell of a lot by replacing Posi's Blast.... What? It looks better visually? 1.5% S/L resistance was that big of a deal to you? I'm still finding it very hard to justify saying the set is "way" better than Posi's blast, considering the set values aren't that much better, and the enhancement values don't gain me a whole hell of a lot.
Also, since I don't 5-slot Inky Aspect anymore with Absolute Amazements, I actually would gain the 10% recharge bonus with the superior set--thus, the comment "For me to say it's 'WAY' better, I'm going to need to make the whole set 'superior' first."
Now, the unique? Definitely awesome, and I would recommend any Kheld get it.

Posi blast is a bad set. It's that simple. I hate using it, there's just not an alternative. Not until now.
Way better is what I'm sticking with. That second matters to me because it shores up the nova chain.

For others of us who have made a trillion builds as well, I've seen the usefullness of the Posi set, and can't say it's bad in any shape, form, or fashion. Period.
Well, maybe it's bad because it has a horrible color combination on the enhancements themselves...

Positron's Blast is one of those sets that gives you damage on every non-proc IO, and because one of those is damage/range, you wind up with lots of damage and very little accuracy, recharge, or endurance. So I agree with Dechs; I don't like the set because of the enhancement numbers, but there aren't a lot of alternatives for Targeted AoE.
