I noticed while I am teamed, and I have Maneuvers turned on, my defense takes a huge hit - Ranged from 30.44% to 15.52% Melee 48.57% to 33.65% AOE 44.50% to 29.58% and all my other defenses also take huge hits. If I leave the team with it on - my defenses go back to normal. If I am teamed and turn it off, all my defenses go back to normal. (I have a Kismet +acc in it - I did remove that enhancement and tried it but that was not the cause.) I was feeling squishy whenever I was teamed up....and now I might have found the culprit. I run Evasive Maneuvers. I lose exactly the amount Evasive Maneuvers gives me when I turn on Maneuvers in a team. I don't lose anything while solo. Other info - I am a Rad/Fire Brute Not sure what is happening.

Thanks for the feedback! Dropped Hammer for Seismic - slotted to your specifications and altered Water Jet.

SO take Seismic, and use 4 procs? Sup Entomb +Absorb, Lockdown +2 Mag, and 2 other damage procs? or go with a set?

Oh I COULD take it - I thought Hammer was the mandatory power.....OK - then I SHALL switch! thanks

I use tidal forces way more than build up - I should use build up more....but I just tend not to. I like to open with Tidal Power/Geyser to disorient. Also to get the double Water Jet while in the middle of the fight. I currently have seismic - but it requires you to be right up in their faces. I took that out and gave myself Evasive Maneuvers for some more defense. If you feel this is a mistake, I can rethink this. 🙂

Before I respec into something a bit more pricey, just wanted to get some feedback on my build. Are there better sets or different sets I should be using, or are some in a place they do not work correctly. I am usually solo - or duo with a tank type. I hover fight from a distance if possible, I dont get in the middle of stuff to use the earth attacks. I am currently built closely to this build, I just have too many sets of Artillery in several powers. I have both sets of Superior Blaster ones though. I currently am lacking defense, which this build fixes to a degree. Thanks for helping out in advance!

Elden Ring was way more fun than I thought it was going to be - Im not that into games where you die a lot, but this was actually like Skyrim with the difficulty ramped up and way less quests. But again - VERY FUN.

First time I made it before it closed!

New redesign - after messing with MIDS a bunch and constructing other alts - and getting in the groove of slotting.

My son and I kinda share instigating - now that we both have t3 Ion core - but I do start with Geyser if I don't have Ion up. Then you pretty much sum it up - Water Burst - Steam - then single targets with a few AOE attacks mixed in on one or two targets. My son uses an Illusion/Rad controller - so his phantoms mainly start now, cause Me starting can make me dead 🙂 Since we seem to play on +3 or +4 / 6-8x - I tend NOT to jump into the middle anymore so mainly going for ranged defense, I don't fracture because I am hovering most of the time - and I don't tend to use Stone Prison much. Budget - I make money I buy a new enhancement. At the moment I have all the armor enhancements in place - then I have Whirlpool, water jet, mud bath, steam spray, dehydrate, shocking bolt, health and stamina all bought and slotted. I love how Mud Bath makes me have no endurance troubles, but I only use that and Beryl Crystals from the Earth set. (I did like Mallet in the beginning) Earth kinda got phased out! I tried Munitions and meh - but that is about it. I dumped EM pulse and got Vengeance for the LoftG - recharge

I will chime in - volume definitely needs adjusting - this is the ONLY game I have ever played that I play on volume at 1% - and 3% is too loud. While I watch or listen to something at the same time - I have to pick volume OFF or 1%, If I am playing and using discord on my headphones I have it at 1% and I need to turn discord voices up to 100-150%. Maybe add a MASTER volume to lower all the other volumes? 🙂

Made a Water Blaster / Earth and having lots of fun. Leveling at +2 easily and +3 with caution. This is my first high level on Homecoming (along with 15 lower level alts). Played LIVE before shutdown and mained a Ninja MM/Dark. Was trying to plan a build but I've never maxed out enhancements on any character. I read lots of posts though! Order of slotting is probably off a bit. So....About how I play - I mainly Solo or Duo with my son (sometimes a 4 team). We do like to try to pull off the impossible in missions and run things that should have more people. I don't PvP - though I dabbled in the past. When playing - I mostly stay at range but have no problem diving into a pile with the tank and having fun. I'm a completionist and badge collector so will be using Oroboros a lot. My current leveling build doesn't have Fracture yet and I went Munitions Epic but I'm not in love with it - not sure I love any of them. Posting for advice before I spend too much on enhancements I don't need! 🙂 Currently level 44.
