I would have to play one to enter this. I took the build threw out the rules and come up with something I would hope offers better pet survivability.
If you ran out of endurance, any pets alive would start being targeted. Also when it comes to keeping AoEs off of pets how difficult can that be at times? Getting pets out or not having them around is costly one way or another, add that to the total eps of the build and you could have a problem. Sure you can insp but then also if you can direct aggro onto you alone even in an end crisis you can use other insps so I would drop Omega for a taunt. Some of the slotting would look the same but I would change some of it for DPS sake.
Your def may still be 40% def but with say a Diamagnetic you can tohit debuff 5% also with you having the insp tray you could always pop a luck, speaking of which, with aggro drawn in your direction rather than the pets despite an end crisis 1 luck on you is better than lucks all round.

Kin Combat are an excellent candidate for boosters. +5 the 4 set and your damage will be in ED cap range. Also, If you +5 TT:Maneuvers you can ditch the generic 50 IO and throw that slot in to Health for the numina proc. Wouldn't hurt to +5 Call Reinforcements either as their damage is a bit low on that build.

I will have a look into that. Thank you again!

just didnt do that as you mentioned not to boost the set IOs
EDIT: And yes i hate when the rules are changed every half day as it costs a while getting good build

I would rather not have the builds relying on it though.

Meh, like I've said a thousand times the final version I provided you with had a 2:1 recovery/usage ratio so it meets the standard of "end sustainable" that you set. The ST chain being sustainable was under "extras" wasn't it? I'm still not convinced that it'd be entirely unsustainable. Worst case scenario, you'd have to make the +end temporary power for single target fights (people even do this for pylon challenges already) and you could still run Barrier for your pets. You already said you had boosters so I didn't need to worry about the extra IO in Hasten, and you'd only need +2's, not +5's for your defense toggles on my build. You also already said you could live without Omega Maneuver. Kind of sending mixed signals here and I am disappointed that I chose to participate in your contest now since it doesn't seem like it is being run fairly at all. I have met all the conditions you set and you're still keeping it going which seems very underhanded to me.

I have said so a few times. I am just not declaring him the winner until the deadline and I can go through it all again.
I don't mean to be unfair in any way, I will stand by what I first said in regards to picking a winner, even if I don't use the build because I really appreciate what people have done so far.

when i saw it right most of his builds were compromises between what the OP wanted and a build he made for his own crap.
than he started to discuss to get the goals changed so that they could meet his build:
i.e. swapping one/both assaults out so that he reached softcap and perma pets (its easy to rech that when you can slot 5 LotG +rech but with less its a challange) at least his last build lacks of TT leadership which will boost tohit for scrab and pest not like hover only for the scrab
just my 2cents
PS: i read the whole thread while it was written but had no need to comment it until now
PPS: as i see (looked all his builds) is each build missing something more or less important for winning the challange

But I promise THB (And others) that I will revisit all the builds next weekend (I think I might keep my nose out of the thread during the week) and if the criteria are met then someone will get something.

Stop replying to fast lol
[*]Perma-Hasten close enough to 'wiggle' |
[*]Perma-Serum tick[*]All 3 pets perma tick[*]45% defence to all positions (Can include Barrier*) tick |
*If the defence is reached without Barrier I will double the prize |
[*]Both pet resist uniques and both pet defence uniques tick[*]General good slotting for everything aside from Shatter Armor, which is just a filler power so can be swapped if necessary, or used as a mule could do with more endrdx on Heavy Burst so 98% there |
[*]95% chance to hit +3's with all powers including Web Envelope (Which will accept minimal slotting as it is just for the -fly) tick [*]Achilles' Heel procs in Single Shot, Burst and Heavy Burst tick[*]Catalysed ATIO proc in Heavy Burst (The other parts of the set can be elsewhere but with also needing an Achilles' Heel proc it is most likely best to use 5 parts here) tick[*]Muscalature Alpha (This is what makes the build really hard) tick[*]Gapless single target attack chain of Bayonet>Single Shot>Burst>Single Shot tick or close enough[*]'Decent' endurance, so no neglecting stamina not sure to be honest[/list] |
Nice to have:

This would be like if when I ran my Pylon challenge a few months ago (and gave away 2 billion inf.) and after the Pylon was downed I said, "Hey guys, that was great, but I'm not going to declare anyone the winner because someone else probably could've done it a little faster."
your build in post 17 lacks the 4points KBprot (read the OPs list in post 1)
on the other hand the blaster (PPP pet is not perma: perma menas recharge before casted new including casting time)
not to mention that hovering around isnt good for placing bayonet which wanted to OP in his attackchain

Nothing in the OP ever said the contest was over the instant someone submitted a build that met all of her criteria. You declared yourself the winner a little early. There's at least two builds in this thread that met all of her original criteria, and frankly vernichterhelge's is better than yours.
That said, the constantly evolving criteria for victory are incredibly lame and the reason I didn't enter. Next time have a better idea of what you want before you start a contest, Darkstar.

I declared myself the winner because I met the standard that the OP set and acknowledged that already before anyone else did. It's not really fair to promise a certain prize for meeting certain goals if you're not going to use a first come first serve approach, unless you plan on giving the promised prize to everyone who meets the goals.
The first entries start from scratch, the second and third could be another set of eyes just taking the first which did most the work and making it better. The brain concentrates best on a job for only so long, a new set of eyes may easily come up with something missed. I find things a little bit unfair in ways. Taking the final build, discount how much of it looks the same as a previous but bear in mind that slots within a set can change. Then reward people appropriately for each completely new change worth adopting. I could take anyones build which is 95% of the work done, do 5% and go tada!

I wouldn't agree that first come first serve is the best approach, I am planning on putting the finishing touches for my entry on this afternoon because I've had tons of meetings and work towards my PhD this week, which is why I haven't made a submission yet. I will not be reviewing any of the builds before I make mine as a lot of people don't know what they are doing even if a redname randomly pulled their name out of a hat for a previous build contest...
jk THB, and props on your build for that contest which would have been my second pic, maybe third...

Heh. It's all good. I'm pretty sure that Z actually looked at the builds though, to be fair. I wouldn't have picked mine either honestly, not that it was bad at all, but there was one that I liked more. I plan on jumping on U Stream one of these days to ask Z how the build is treating him, see what kind of response I get.
As for first come, first serve: I just feel that this contest was set up very poorly. If you set certain requirements that must be met to meet X prize and you only want to select one winner, first come first serve is the only logical way to distribute the winnings. If you are willing to concede that all conditions have been met on one submission but continue to accept submissions after that point, logic dictates that you will be granting the originally stated prize to everyone who met the criteria to redeem it during the span of time before the deadline.
It is my understanding that the OP does not intend on awarding the originally promised prize to everyone who met the conditions they set when starting the contest during the span of time allotted, and so I feel there is a certain lack of integrity inherent in this competition.
Not to mention changing the rules midway through, which might as well be the text book definition of underhanded. I already had someone accuse me of not meeting a standard that was set after I made my submission. I blame the OP for their nonchalant attitude and blatant disrespect for the time people spent contributing to a contest they created... It has lead to being essentially accused of incompetence due to changing rules as the contest progresses, and on top of that after I already made a submission that met all required criteria for the prize offered, plus the bonus prizes.
By the way, Princess: I'm not offering humility anymore:
Well, I believe I have met all the required criteria in the OP, plus the bonus criteria of a sustainable single target attack chain and softcapped defense without Barrier. I know you didn't expect this to be able to happen, and I am nice so I will accept the doubled infamy (500 doubled since I softcapped without Barrier) and since the attack chain is endurance sustainable I will accept only one of the 3 earned purple sets out of humility.
Please make all goods and resources payable to: TwoHeadedBoy @Septipheran Available on Freedom and Virtue for face to face trades. |
Due to your recent actions I do not feel that you are deserving of my humility and so I would no longer like to wave my claiming of the other two fairly earned purple sets on top of what I stated in the quoted post and what you promised as a reward. If you can change your rules after I've already won your contest, I can change my claim to align with the criteria you originally presented.
Alright, here is my entry and it has everything you want. It has solid defense, 45+ in range and melee, and close to that in AoE and extra defense from Vorpal. It has all your permas (provided you use Ageless Core epiphany) (I would also suggest buying your Call to Arms from the Paragon Market as it will give you a little more recharge). It has all the procs you asked for, and KB 12 protection. It is an all around build with the powers you want and slotting so that they are all effective. Good endurance manageability becomes even better thanks to Ageless Core. And you have that ST attack chain that you asked for.
This may not be the first build to meet your requirements, but I would contest that it is the best. It gets you what you need, what you want, and it does it in style. I feel that I have met all your requirements, and exceeded them. I have offered a build that is better than the competition, and I will wait quietly until next weekend until your final decision.

With all honesty there are some really nice builds here, while attitudes are the exact opposite.
Contest: from date to date, doesn't mean when you are 1st to submit you should win. It means that from all the builds submitted, the OP will look at the better build for HER, and the one fitting her style best should win.
I do agree that making changes to the target build due to the fact that someone submitted a build with something you like is unfair, and i know the OP will take this with her for the next contest, if she ever holds one.
To the OP,
I hope you find a build you like, that is the purpose of this contest anyways.
To the contestants,
Some of you really need to get of your high horse and get back to reality.

If someones done most of the work from which others have pretty much benefitted and adapted then it should be obvious to the OP. I do not like these competitions too much. Appropriate rewards for useful differences can mean a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and so on which is kind of nicer than having someone copy someones build, change 1 slot, everyone to know its better and winning.

Lack of Numina = less endurance
Less slotting in Fortification = less resistance
I see what you did to get that proc in, and I think if it could be done without the sacrifice of Bayonet I would be considering it as a break even build so would be very torn, but as it stands I think better slotting in Bayonet is given an extra ~40 damage and I have already dropped my survivability levels quite a bit to settle on 45% defence so overall I am not sure making room for the Soulbound proc in this way is better.
