I love Necro! Had a lot of success with my Necro/Pain. Great synergy. I thought I would try Necro with EA, as it has that Dr. Frankenstein theme. Any feedback would be great.

Here's my take. 100% resistant to slows. Chance to hide is in Assassin Strike. Added Frost since it is such a great cone attack in Ice Melee. Added in Ice Bolt and Ice Spear with lots of proc goodness in both. Elude is mostly just a mule for PS: +Endo proc. Added Placate due to recent improvements. Ice Patch is a one-slot wonder, it needs nothing more than a recharge IO. You could drop the last three powers and put in your TP power pool. Why take Fold Space when you can just stealth into a large group of mobs? Combat TP is fun but you will get lots of Build Up procs from Stalker ATO and Gaussian's Proc. Ice Melee is one of the best Stalker Primaries. Have fun! Stalker (Ice Melee - Super Reflexes).mbd

Update #2. Dropped Harmonize and Dominate. Added FA and PP. How much accuracy do I need?

Reading through @Spaghetti Betty Fire/SS build, which looks awesome, I got inspired to re-work my build for my upcoming Fire/Stone. I decided to remove the most of the defense and try to build for more resistance and add procs. Also 95% resistant to recharge and slows. Resist proc is toggled off (Stone Mallet) but 2x stack would cap out S/L/E/N. Fault and Tremor are also toggled off due to FF procs in the attacks. 13 points of KB protection might be overkill but removes 99% of that possibility. Any feedback from the king of Fire Armor @Sovera would also be appreciated. (I know you hate Fault but your opinion is always appreciated).

Concealment. The only power pool that provides 3 powers that can utilize LoTG. I only use Leaping for CJ. It’s a great power but mostly a waste of a PP selection. I almost always take CJ unless I take Flight. The other powers, not so much. Flight. Provides 2 powers that can utilize LoTG.

These look like great builds. Under Fortunata, is this supposed to be KB Protection or the Resistance/Defense unique? Level 10: Indomitable Will A: Gladiator's Armor: TP Protection +3% Def (All) 19: Steadfast Protection: Knockback Protection

Since I’m not building for defense, I’m thinking about dropping the Celerity 2-Piece IO in Infiltration and add 8 more points of KB protection which would bring me up to 13 points. My reasoning is that I’ll be taking more hits and 5 points might not be enough. Thoughts?

@Sovera Thanks for the feedback from the Master of Fiery Aura! I am definitely taking Barrier, which seems to me, the most logical choice. You hate Fault. Understood. I play SM on my Stalkers, and it works well. What is the difference? So my Mids is displaying 85.96% E/N for one stack of ATO proc. 2 would put me at cap for everything except C/T/P. Not sure the disparity between our numbers. Do I need more KB protection? Appreciate the time you took to write me back.

I've never played a Fiery Armor Tanker. Seems like fun. I really like Stone Melee, due to KD mitigation and FF procs, so it seemed like a great combo. Looking for suggestions/advice/feedback on this build. Aiming for high resists, slow resistant, recharge. Thanks! Tanker (Fiery Aura - Stone Melee).mbd

Here's another take. E/N/F/C not softcapped. However, F/C resists 75%. 100% resist to slow/recharge. Lots of purples, so expensive. Heal and Geode when you need them. Stalker (Ice Melee - Stone Armor).mbd

Infiltration is nice as well. It’s a hybrid of SS and SJ with a stealth component. It can also mule LotG as well as Stealth and Grant Invisibility which are also available in Concealment.

When is the start date for Winter Event 2023?

Grimm2 appreciate your feedback. I was definitely inspired by your build. Using Ice Mistral's Torment is pure genius. What a great set! So many great bonuses that compliment Spines. I will likely take Hasten and the rest of the attacks before level 32. Fighting and Stealth and Grant Invisibility (which are just LoTG mules) will be last. Just wondering how much defense do I need since no DDR. I prioritized Slow/Recharge Resistance, Recharge, S/L Resist Cap and Hit Points. I could drop the Concealment mules in favor of Weave and Maneuvers. Still debating. Thanks again.

I haven't played Spines since Live and never tried Bio on a Tanker. Pro: immune to slow/recharge. high recharge. 2600+ hps. capped S/L resist Con: low defense Suggestions and feedback are greatly appreciated. Thank you! Tanker (Bio Armor - Spines).mbd
