Thank you both for the responses. I think I was just doing it incorrectly before. I am going to sit down whene I get home and go through the process again while reading these posts (and the new guide linked). Thanks!

Thank you!! I feel I have wasted a lot of inf trying to figure this out but can never seem to get the settings right. Going to try some more when I get off work and see if I can make some inf.

Can someone explain the settings in the conversion window? I have read some of the guides on here several times and when I think I understand it I still get outcomes I’m not expecting. In set - is this within the specific set that the IO currently is? So if I have a thunder strike, it will concert to a different thunder strike? Or does it convert to a different ranged damage set? out of set - I can probably answer this one if I understand the first. I thought this mean out of the type of set. So if I have a PBAOE IO and concert with setting I could end up with basically anything else?

You are right, but my question was more can the rains individual ticks proc cores damage stacks?

This this thread is so active, figure I would make sure I’m not crazy. If a storm summoning defender doesn’t take freezing rain, they are gimping themselves, right? I did an ITF last night and couldn’t figure out why things were not dying faster. Only had two debuggers, myself and s storm defender with no freezing rain.

Someone else asked but I am also curious about how these play with pseudo pets (I.e. rain type powers). I am I trying to decide which way to go for my ice/cold. My gut says radial, but core may be good to increase AoE damage from ice storm and blizzard. Does sleet count since it technically does damage?

Should I be forgoing set bonuses in order to slot more procs in single target attacks? I know set bonuses are important, but also moar damage!

Does it always stun the minions pretty much due to the long recharge?

I would also be very curious if the chance for stun works well enough to slot it in heatloss. Would make getting in close to get a big stack of heatloss a lot safer.

The more ya know. Is it 3% on brutes or something’s? I don’t think I pulled that out of thin air, but maybe.

Assault doesn’t really give you very much damage unless you have multiple people running it. Don’t have Pines in front of me but I think it’s like 3%. I don’t think it would really impact your powers the way you are thinking. Maneuvers and weave are so good because of how powerful stacking defense is. Tactics can be enhanced to get decent to hit bonus. Also, I know it’s for thematic reasons, but box and kick are not worth using at all. Maybe as a set mule, but I would not use it over one of your DP attacks.

I can never copy the data links. I have to download the build, open pines, and file and find the file and open from within pines. Super annoying, but they always open after that.

I don’t think it has the same taunt that it has on tanker and brute sets, but I could be wrong. I never notice it creating more agro than normal.

No idea where my posts are ending up (tried posting twice and neither have shown up here), but I really loved your build, Constantine. I think the added capped range defense is well worth the sacrifice to global recharge. I did swap out flight for leaping and went ahead and took acrobatics. I got rid of the slot in aim and a slot in stamina, but not sure where to put them. Currently added one to one of the shields for the +6% accuracy (probably not worth it honestly, but not sure where to put it) and I added a knock back protection to tough. My knock back protection with this additional IO is up in the 20s, which is probably excessive. I was trying to figure out where I could get a 5th LoTG recharge IO, but couldn’t come up with anything. My other two posts I made had the updated build but they for some reason won’t post. I still really want to try Darkir’s build once test comes back up. Thanks again for all the input and discussion, I really appreciate it.

For AoE I still think fire has ice beat due to fire ball. It’s on a short(ish) cool down and does good damage, where blizzard is on a pretty long cool down, but considering it can scourge is pretty awesome. Fire may also catch up in single target damage if you can achieve insta snipe consistently. Someone has probably crunched the numbers.
