Jaxman100

FYI, I started a new thread for the double respec TF at the end of June. We can keep this one more focused on up coming items. Theme Team - Double Respec Trial (June 26th) Defenders and Corruptors only!

Second TF - Red Side Respec Level 24-33 @TrixieKixx - Butterfly Dreamz - Emp/Sonic Blast Defender @Jaxman100 - Jax Red - NRG/Dark Corruptor @Midnyte - Poison Petals - Rad/Nature Corruptor @TygerDarkstorm - Robovisor - Beam/FF Corruptor @Bananiac - Divine Wind - Fire / Storm Corruptor @FrauleinMental - Sabina Lucsly - Archery/Time Corruptor @TraumaTrain - Dr. Snake Oil - Water/Poison Corruptor

Start thinking about who you want to bring for the June 26th Respec Trials. You'll need two, count them two, Defender and/or Corruptor builds with no duplicate buff or debuff powersets on a task force! We'll start building the list ASAP. Since we are running two TFs someone can play a set (Trick Arrow for example on the first and someone else can play Trick Arrow on the second TF). Hero line up here, villain line up on next post. Blue Side Respec level 24-33 @TrixieKixx - Trace Memory - Emp/Psychic Blast Defender @Jaxman100 - Kia Flint - Thermal / Dark Defender @Midnyte - Sea Goddess - Water/Pain Corruptor @TygerDarkstorm - Androidica - Poison/DP Defender @Bananiac - Amber Siren - Sonic / Sonic Defender @FrauleinMental - Coffee Ring - Water/Dark Corruptor @TraumaTrain - Atomic Unit - Radiation/Water Defender

My original suggestion for the theme was either Defender or Corruptor with no duplicate Buff/debuff sets. Trixie went with the double TF idea. I like the idea of not worrying about the blast sets being duplicated and only having the other set be unique for each TF. Someone can play Trick Arrow in TF 1 and someone else can play it in TF 2. We might want a separate thread for that week's TFs so we can be organized. Besides Thermal, I have Alts with Storm, Emp, Poison, Cold, Traps, Kin, and Trick Arrow. So I am good with just reserving a spot and playing whatever is available if others have less options for the archetypes. Thought I had a Dark, but maybe deleted.

I'll Bring Baron Jax my mostly Dwarf War Shade. For the respec trials, are we thinking no duplicate sets at all or or just no duplicate sets within each trial? So someone could play Trick Arrow in the first trial and someone else play it in the second? I do want to bring my Thermal/Dark Defender on at least 1 of the trials, after that I have 7/8 more so I'm sure I can fill in whatever. Also assuming we aren't worried about duplicates for the ranged damage sets only the buff/debuff sets.

This is a really old Plant/Thorn build I remade from Live over a year ago I got to play some last weekend. I have 148.75% global recharge. At higher levels I leave Dom on auto cast and forget about it unless I eat dirt. I have Hasten so I can have perma Dom if I stay on top of casting Hasten at lower levels. And Dom is ready just about every minute if I keep Hasten perma as well at level 50. That is really all the build does is recharge but I find it fun.

Ok I'll bring my AoE monster Ice/Fire Blaster - Tano Jax with her affinity for White Pepper.

I mean those fire farms can get you to level 50 in 4-5 hours pretty easy with double XP. If I grab the 8 hours of XP boost at level 1 plus the 8 hours of Def and Damage buffs, buy my other P2W powers, run around Atlas Park until I'm level 7 or 8, scoot to Pocket D for farming, I will still have the Def and Dam buffs when I hit 50. 😃

I think at that level my Plant/Thorns Dom(Dexx) is more fun than the Nature MM so I'll bring that. 2nd week in a row using a remade Alt from Live servers. Spent 100 million inf converting IOs to Attuned versions, should have perma Dom if I pay attention. Perma at level 50 without Hasten.

I was just wondering you had in mind.

Now I am envisioning an all Plant Manticore seeing if we could confuse the AVs to fight each other at the end.

What all power sets do people have in mind for plants/flowers?

Been in a mood with work for a while. I thought my 20's/Steampunk Kin Corruptor would be cool, but my Ice Troller's OG costume is Black and White and that was my old main. Now I'm up way past my bed time. See what the AM brings.

FYI I am tentative for Saturday, not sure who would be good to bring.

It's cool, I just had costumes already on a Scrapper and a Blaster, I got my Widow a costume worked out today. Probably won't play much if at all until next weekend.

Get this. Widow Jax Noice right?

Dang Blaster and Scrapper taken, guess i'll put down as my Widow.

I might be around in the AM, with a Storm/Ice Defender. I had made a Mother Mayhem outfit, but more of a college age than child. I will probably a game time decision.

I should be good for next week on Jax Prime my Ice/SD stalker. Going with Black for Obsidian.

Well I went with S/L Defense and Resistance over recharge, so Swipe and Kick are 4 slotted with Kinetic Combat in this build. Probably a lot of room for tweaking, but plenty of 1 or 2 slot wonders. I took Spiritual for Alpha for recharge. I do sometimes take Intuition for the Range and Damage for Focus and Shockwave. 20% range can increase the total area a cone hits by about 40%. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1456;695;1390;HEX;| |78DA65944B4F13511886CF74A6D6D20BD4422960AFC8AD486901DDB82051D408141| |10C788B3894910E0C6DD31281A5FF40C1C485F78D0B35FE07B65E7F841B8DF19278| |5F98FA75DECF629C499B67E63DEF77DE33DF9C99CCFA88FBE9F1ABC342F21E31D47| |2796E3A5B528B45AD64CFA88B7A56D0E19E2AACA8D151753D3AA1AD394868FCEB99| |CB6886A625A970ADDC5A1347B4CB5ABEAC256775C32816D6B492704F160A46725C5| |38B7A7ED1635E1CD31773AB74E5C29551BDF499E727F257F4B23EAF1BFAEA86EF68| |51CF260F171636E6326A79552B6D0429BF93FEB9EA42CCA3228B49425C11B653CC2| |950990667AA5EC9F4DA45339D8414D1F35616224D7C0726DE837D711AEF2286C125| |079752AD744D313DCA7570D726730BDC7D83B96D13C2AF8859AA95912BCB5F317FD| |D37E60FD0FD135C26AF9D73EC77308FFB2EE8BDC7BC0F363C600EA3D6A05A87B9CA| |8ADD7109637B54E63CD898652E80010D3C4BB54EACD1E66C924CAD7F0CF3A67F0BB| |35701F2B8E0112ED3E31436D23CDC7F0FF7BF8FFBDFCFFDEFE7FE9F236FBD84F5D5| |3F426FC28F994FC0AE3164779D644E8079AAF5715F7CCFB0AEE073B0F505F325B8F| |715F3352853AD9FFBEFE7FE07B8FF41EE7BCF2F50216F137B9B1A901DF683D14626| |F7E73C799BB967CD9B36536BBF09EEDB02CF90A7051EA9A5BAD7424E91E6BD7681C| |6DA38AB8DB3A29C15E3AC1867B9C81BC2FD8BD02182228B226911EE496480730799| |4360E701E641E61B3C6F0FD5C679BE38675C24AD83B58E01AC7185B46ECEE8CE618| |E84CE5C02F72F330DE60A789AA6E845ADD47B0BCF377D1B7C489B26C97B2939837C| |2F65A5383FF5859FA1527BBFE947878828B5B7B892B08CA62C4ADAA20C5A94218B3| |26E512695DA174048A6E26CA0F71A4AE5431D8D4AFF8E7EDA51242986BB898DE26B| |F2D1E2FEBCA3D8A4FFF652FB773CB3B1446D4D953F9F54E7FF| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

I use it a lot, but it can be endurance intensive in a long fight against an AV or whatever. But it is a great power.

For a final build, maybe/maybe not. Depends if I want another set bonus or not and how much recharge I have for a single target attack chain. Slash gets slotted with 5 Hetacomb and Achillees Heel Proc. Follow Up gets the (I think) Critical Strike Scrapper set so the following attacks have a better chance to Crit. Focus gets either Scrapper Strike, Apocalypse, or winter's Bite. Depending on the bonuses I want. Possibly only 5 slots for a set plus a proc. There are sets that give defense or recharge bonuses I might put in another melee attack. If not, the Crit Hit Bonus IO from Scrapper Strike is a good 1 slot option as it grants the bonus even if the attack it is in is not actively used. I can see if I have my Claw/WP build on the other PC later. Also if I plan to exemplar with the build I probably have at least a few slots in it.

Slash is the 3rd power, I highly recommend it as it can take the Achilles Heel proc for -Resist. I usually just take either Swipe or Strike but not both based on which ever you prefer. Once you get a lot of recharge Slash, Follow Up, and Focus can be your single target attack chain. Then you can fill in with Spin and Shockwave.

For a lot of my MMs, I set my pets on defensive and follow and i go to town as a mini defender. If I get agro, the initial damage is spread between me and the pets, then they start attacking. Every once and a while if you want them to attach the boss, you start with an macro in your tray for attack my target.

Wow, I have never tried nature affinity before. It's very Endurance intensive. Less powers will help at low levels.
