A week left and Ston holds the lead since day 1. I know Ston is mister test sheets, but i know someone can beat him. Dont disappoint met Sent mains!

It'll be a bit squishy but fire aura is one of the offensive armor and fire melee is solid, not top tier but above average.

You can slot non superior ATOs at a much earlier level then upgrade them to superior at 50 to get a good crit experience early on

Well for one, yes electric melee is a sub par set, and specifically the way it's sub par is going to make it feel bad. Scrapper actually can be out dpsed by Brutes both ST and AoE depending on sets and builds. However once you add the ATOs in, the formula flips. Crit is the secret sauce you are likely missing. In particular, picking the right spot for superior critical strikes proc. Some sets can manage over 30% up time on that +50% chance to crit

fixed and updated

I've been really bad about updating the OP post, ill get it updated today

Did you go ahead and report this? double check CoD and you are 100% correct and that is defonitly just an oversight isnce Enflame has to have its damage scales done manually since its a pseudopet and cant retrieve the caster's damage scalar https://cod.uberguy.net./html/power.html?power=pets.enflame.enflame&at=minion_pets

You are the first Corruptor time posted yeah.

adding AoE if its missing and arguably more durability but even those can be ignored since imo AoE and defense are overrated in a team.

Can you toss me the build save? I can manually correct the mids import failures

In the interest of supporting people who got ahead of schedule, the series of posts for times posted on Friday March 29th have been grandfathered into the challenge. With that in mind Ston has established a commanding lead in the opening days.

Amazing performance Ston and congratulations on taking the gold. Please check your DM's regarding claiming your prize. Huge thanks to everyone who participated and lets keep the spice rolling.

Late on the update, my wish was granted! On the 29th, with just days to go the lead was stolen by none other than @Ston! With the deadline here (sorry for lacking updates here, IRL got VERY busy the last week) we can now proclaim Ston as king of the sneaky bois! Congratulations Ston I'll be in touch today regarding your winnings.

Your build appears incomplete is it possible you uploaded an mid development version?

@VertigoIguanaI appreciate the extra numbers, i was honestly surprised Kin didn't perform better. It's bad rap comes from the other versions but the Stalker version has the immense power of being able to spam its build up more than any other Stalker between the Stalker ATO and Concentrated Strike. What was your rotation out of curiosity?

I've spent quite a bit of time optimizing Regeneration, main concerns are getting Dull Pain permaed (easily done) and stacking more recharge for Instant Healing and MoG up time. Shadow Meld too if you take it as it can easily hit a 50% up time. After that you are just after resistances and making sure you dont over cap things like max hp. Fore Fiery Melee your ideal rotation is Incinerate -> Greater Fire Sword -> Cremate Here's an example scrapper build using Regen and en example highly optimized fiery melee scrapper Final Glint Revision 11 WIP - Scrapper (Katana - Regeneration).mbd Effluence_Fire-Bio tweaked.mbd

I mean that Regen slotting could be a lot better, doctored wounds is not my first pick. But what are you actually looking for?

Vertigolguana took the lead again on the 13th, he cant keep getting away with it!

@VertigoIguana strikes again! Somebody stop this man. I'll get your time up tonight once I'm back at the PC or I can manage it on my phone. To answer your question. All tests for the pylon challenge should be on the unleveled pylons. This does give an advantage not only to MMs and pets, but also to builds forgoing accuracy slotting as the unleveled target is much easier to hit than a lvl 54 would be due to differing base hit chance as well as the impacts of purple patch. I chose to keep this target partly because I started the thread before page 7 and partly to keep it somewhat comparable to historical tests. However I am VERY interested in +4 dummy times and would be very happy to have people start submitting them before iv placed bounties for them. The same is true for the +4x8 version of the mission sim. As an aside whoever wins the stalker challenge, I'd like to get with and organize a 'victory lap' in which we give them 7 afk teammates to boost their crit and see just how dumb it gets.

When I say WP is overhyped I mean what Captain Fabulous is hinting at. I'm not using overhyped as a stand in for 'i think it's bad' I'm using the word very intentionally. Willpower and Radiation both have VERY evangelical players who talk up the sets as much stronger than they are. That doesn't mean the sets are bad, just that they get miscast in the discourse a lot. Rad is solid, Will is solid on Tanks, okay on Brutes, kinda low tier everywhere else. What Will does is be thoughtless. You toggle up and go and for +4 radios it'll do just fine. But so will a blapper so not a big mark of power.

WP is over hyped but it's litteraly zero clicky with a good build because SoW isnt worth much. Of the 3 Energy Aura is the strongest hands down. It's capable of defense caps, has an end tool, and an actually good T9 that you can mitigate the crash on. Of all sets, well two ways to look at it. Scrapper is a DPS AT so by that metric Bio Armor > Firey Aura > Electric Armor > Energy Aura = Super Reflexes > Radiation Armor It's an armored set so by durability metrics, something like. Invulnerability > Stone Armor > Ice Armor = Energy Aura > Bio Armor = Dark Armor Overall the undisputable king is bio armor, as it is unrivaled in DPS except by a damage capped Firey Aura and even then not by much. Meanwhile having one of the better durability values of any armor set AND that durability is in the form of max hp, Regen, and absorb all of which are much less common in team support than defense and resistance buffs. And to top it all off it gives passive endurance, active endurance tools, and applies -res for your team to boot.

Updating this as we close out a bit more than the first week. Ston's lead posted on the first and slightly improved on the second remains uncontested. I know one of you sneaky bois can put down the spreadsheet man, let me see your times!

I find this point is usualy over focused on. The build in question lacks for defenses and endurance slotting sure, but Recovery Serum alone will solve the end issue easily. A team should cover the durability issue either through support or tanking. The most id caution is taking this build solo, but it has all the tools an Ill/MA dom should have aside from AoE attacks. Could a better build be made for general play? Absolutely, drop Assault, Tactics, and Disruptor blast for plenty of slots and power pick options to fix that. Its a good build to modify.
