The easy way to find out would be to copy them to the Beta server. Easy peasy.

thanks. I'm fine with waiting to see how it affects the old ones in the stable. They are already done with their path anyways so there is no hurry.

Ok, numbers on the Elec/Stone we're a little off. On beta they are:

Defense:
S/L - 44.28%
E/N - 20%

Resist:
S/L/E - 90%
F/C - 62.17%
Neg - 44.4%
Psi - 67.12%

If I slot Resilient Total Core Revamp, that becomes:

Resists:
S/L/E - 90%
F/C - 68.81%
Neg - 57.5%
Psi - 73.94%

I must have been thinking about Resilient (which I don't use with the new build). He uses a T3 Rebirth and T3 Spiritual. Seems to do plenty.

I've often wondered about doing that myself, running Cardiac atm.

However, as odd as this might sound Im not sure how well my End would do without Cardiac. I'm slotted very light on end reduction, and thou I have power sink and energize to help refill, I do burn the bar down quickly. Part of this is my Double Stacked Raged, every 1m I have a 20 end crash. Something many people that talk about double stacking rage dont think it. I have to make sure I never drop below 25% end or I risk a nasty detoggle.

I'll have to play around with some numbers and seee.... I wonder how close to capping Fire/Cold/Psi res with resilent and the new res changes I can get.


Main: Praetor Imperium Elec/SS/Mu

Most the time if there are only one or two foes with it then I don't really notice them.
With 33% or so E/N defense, the Galaxies become not even a nuisance. He wouldn't have as much defense exemping on a Moonfire though. My Elec's biggest challenges so far have been groups of Tarantula Queens and Dark Ring Mistresses, as even resisted boss levels of psionic damage can pile up pretty quickly, and our friends the Cimerorans.

You might already try this, but just in case you don't: Does using PS right before the Rage crash not help?

Not really, unless you time it absolutely just right and just so happen to be in a decent sized mob when it crashes.

Hmm... well, on my SS/Elec brute, popping PS before or after a Rage crash does the trick. Use it before, then you have most of your end after the crash. Use it after, you've got it all. And if they're aren't any mobs, then you'll have some time to recover your end anyways.

yea after, anything works. Before, is little tricky to time the crash. pop it too early, then you'll lose the end anyways. Pop it too late, ya just gain it back as if it was normal. Either way miss it, the crash will happen. Hit it juts right, ya wont lose any end.

I suppose. I just watch the blinking icon and time it from there.
