Has anyone tried to use this without any ACC enhancements? Does it still work like that?


 

Posted

I seem to remember it gets some sort of inherent acc or to hit bonus, I can't really log on to check. It that true?

According to Mids, it does not get an accuracy bonus, no.

It would be if it was a little faster.

As is, it's pretty good though.

my beef is the +acc heal set bonuses are kind of crappy and trying to get away with slotting numina instead

Agree completely, that's why it is only 'one of the best'.

For... the ranged defense, I guess? That seems like a bad idea anyway, since TG is not a great place for the unique. And if you're slotting less than 6 pieces of Numina, you can just toss a generic acc IO into one of the remaining slots.

My preferred slotting for TG is either 5x Doctored Wounds (very cheap) or 5x Panacea (very expensive), 1xL50 Accuracy IO.

That's generally enough slotted accuracy to be fine assuming you have some global accuracy bonuses and/or some +tohit.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Hope, few people seem to realize that it is possible to mix set IOs with commons in a power. Even fewer know that you can mix several sets together.

My Necro/Dark has Touch of the Nictus 5-slotted, and it works well. I don't know what AT you're rocking, or what your build looks like, so that limits some of the advice I could give, but if you really want to avoid Acc slotting tactics and the +tohit unique could always help.

I was planning to just use the +acc proc. But that probably won't work that good, since I dont have that much global +acc. the reason I'm asking is because my MM build is very tight on slots and I'm like 2% away from ranged softcap and have no more slots left I can spare.


 

Posted

Oh, If you're /Dark you can get 2% off decently slottet Darkest night, and Fearsome stare against anything including +4 AVs.

You really don't need to worry about the last 2% on the premier tohit debuff set.

My standard slotting for TG is

Lysosome x2
Golgi x1
Numina's Convalescence: Heal/Recharge
Numina's Convalescence: Heal/End/Recharge
Doctored Wounds: Heal/End/Recharge

66.6% Accuracy
75.13% Endurance Reduction
95.22% Heal (101.45 pre-ED)
68.15% Recharge Reduction
40.00% ToHit Debuff

It would be reasonable to swap the DW out to be a Heal/Recharge to boost the recharge a bit at the expense of endurance cost.


Blue
American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA

In addition to all the other to-hit debuffs, TG also has a small debuff as well. Granted, stronger foes will reduce it to less than 2%, but TG on it's own will soft cap you against any minion or LT you hit with it, while fearsome stare and darkest night should be enough to effectively softcap you vs entire spawns, including any AVs (well, except possibly in trials anyway).

yeah maybe I was thinking too deep on how to stop cap since this is my only dark toon. I guess 2 percent off is just as good as softcap with debuffs


 

Posted

I have!

It also hit quite regularly!

Mind you I had over 60% +ACC in set bonuses, a Kismet and Tactics.

But I have gone with TG slotted with just 5 pieces of Doctored Wounds set and no ACC slotted at all.

And, by virtue of its stackability, is one of only three fast-recharge single-target defender debuffs that have any relevance in PvE. (Siphon Power and Transfusion being the others.)
