If attune is running and if the T2 is working fine (as you didn’t mention its broken) i do not see any uptick in dot damage while attune is toggled on a target (unless the extra dmg numbers get ommited due to clutter), the only times i notice is when i toggle attune off, the dmg ticks from t2 keep going for a while.

Ok, i made a new toon to test, for some reason new toons stalker ato hide proc works as intended, the T1 and T2 are still bugged, they should make the Attune dot dmg scale be 0.2 (or 0.3?) : "All attacks now provide a bonus effect against the Attuned anchor Strident Echo and Sonic Thrust: Non stacking bonus scale 0.1 per second damage over time over 16s" But right now T1 is not doing anything and T2 is only extending the DOT (and acting like its source of damage) IF you toggle off Attune.

It *technically* works "Stalker Guile proc now grant hide for 3s", when you proc hide, the hidden status gets cancelled as soon as next Attuned dot ticks, but i believe the way hide proc activation is coded from what ive gathered by testing you have a very small window before it actually disappears, the attune dot expends the hide but most of the time you can technically proc hide crit with next attack. The dot ticks should temporary pause like they do when you use placate and not expend hide proc instantly until you use other attack after. EDIT: "Strident Echo and Sonic Thrust: Non stacking bonus scale 0.1 per second damage over time over 16s" T2 right now doesn't give bonus 0.1 dmg per second, it only "extends" the attune dot if its toggled off, if Attune is still toggled when you use T2, this 0.1 doesn't do anything

Ok so tested Stalker (Ill get to testing other ATS later unless someone wants to help out before me) Stalker Chance to Hide ATO is still getting cancelled/spent by attune dot tick (Not fixed). T1 (Not fixed): T2(Not fixed, bugged in different way?!) As combat log shows, i turned off attune after using T2, and the T2 kept the dot going as the source of it for 14-16 seconds varied: Since 3 of these issues need fixing if i can ask to clarify, when you toggle on Attune, using T1 or T2 is the Attune's dot supposed to become stronger for 16 seconds after using these two attacks so Attuned dmg scale is supposed to be 0.3 or one of these can improve it once to 0.2?

Just tested Scrapper, same thing : "Strident Echo and Sonic Thrust: Non stacking bonus scale 0.1 per second damage over time over 16" This does not seem to work. Side note: I preferred version 1 of the toggle, did so much more dps and scaled better with dmg buffs, even though the new mechanic seems bugged with not applying 0.1 scale dots from T1, T2, a Single target DOT doing less dmg than aoe toggle dots just doesnt feel right to me.

@Captain Powerhouse Attune DOT is once again cancelling Stalker Hide proc ATO, Placate still works fine like the last time. Also i don't see any extra damage that the new T1 and T2 attack mechanic is supposed to do from hitting Attuned target (used it when the ring appeared and when there was no ring): Strident Echo also doesn't seem to apply extra damage with new Attuned version :

There's a big imo issue with Attune now for Stalkers where the dot damage instantly cancels Hide proc from the ATO. I used the following rotation on Pylon and various enemies: Attune > T1 > T2 > Assassin's Whisper (Hide ATO is slotted in this power), it triggers(I see Hidden green text) and it instantly gets cancelled(spent) by the Attune dmg tick, then i tested placate and that one works fine, doesn't get cancelled by Attune's damage. Update #1: Not using Attune on pylon or various enemies i tested, the Hide ATO proc works as intended it doesn’t get cancelled instantly, this is a big mechanic issue for stalkers as it results in dps loss that needs to be addressed. Update #2: I have also tested Attune without using T1 T2 for the dot, issue stays the same (1 dmg ticks still cancel the Hide from Hide ATO proc).

Attune needs a quick hotfix, after build 3, the endurance in game seems bugged. Think it is supposed to have a flat end cost instead of per second. EDIT: Stalker, Tanker, Brute show the bugged endurance, the second screenshot is Scrapper and that one seems proper

Not only that, Tide Pool Dark Water Only is also bugged, there's fish in there AND it uses bright color version. Hope both get fixed.

Can we please get Marine Affinity Dark Water Only Customization fixed on Tide Pool and Barrier Reef options, they are using bright water effect while Dark Customization works fine as intended.

If you have for example agility alpha that increases enforcers maneuvers defense numbers, the increase is lost after zoning. Only fix is to re-summon so the defense buffs are correctly applied again. I think this bug is due to how the upgrades were semi-recently?! bugfixed/coded for thugs with map changes (sometimes they don't look like upgraded versions which i thought is just a cosmetic issue but i feel like that is causing the issue with their maneuver buff). I haven't tested yet but i think this bug also affects destiny clarion radial for example or anything that improves pets buffs. Losing over 4% defense because of this bug is kind of a big deal for pets.

Not sure if this is a Costume or a Power FX bug but Entangling Aura's color randomly changes to a darker color around the characters chest area and to the default color for 2d leaves. No matter if its day or night, the color will randomly change. (Second Screenshot is how it should look like)

True but that is still three clicks to combine inspirations which is too many in my opinion. I think if they added the ability to just right click inspiration and instantly press number without hovering over combine 3 into or having to press C and then a number would be such a good change especially in combat and be much less tedious,

Right now without macros if you want to combine inspirations you need to right click an inspiration, hover over to "Combine 3 into" and then select which one and mouseclick (or use numbers). I think this could be made a lot easier and less tedious to do if we had an ability to just right click once on an inspiration and instantly be able to use numbers to combine without having to hover over the Combine 3 into menu. Current : Right click inspiration > Combine 3 into > Use number or mouse click My suggestion : Right click inspiration > Use number

I switched slots around since I posted this. This one looks a bit better (It seems like I need the def and inserting Hecatomb in DA instead of Sting of the Wasp, yeah I lose quite a bit of dmg but because I went with a lot of recharge, think I can just have Lotus SD and GD in rotation with occasional DA. I would save a slot which I can put into into Shadow Meld (That would net me same recharge cd as before but gain 10 more def from it). Also my AE Farmer has 3 procs in the Aura and it seems to proc at a decent rate which is why I slotted 3 procs into this one as well. Yea I can see how a long cast animation can be annoying but it didn't stop me from enjoying my Widow with Mind Link. This one will have to be recasted more often but we'll see. I can always switch to winter sets with less global recharge if i dont like Shadow Meld.

Hey i wanted to make Kat/Bio build that would rely on Shadow Meld from Soul pool but I need help to optimize it. This is what I came up with: Will I be able to survive with all the absorb and other stuff Bio provides until Shadow Meld is back up(Should be around 5-7 seconds cd with Ageless)? It seems to me that it would be hard to focus on perma haste while also getting def capped(Without Shadow Meld) as BIO or am I just not seeing it. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah but that small change(Making them stay at range) would make both Call Reinforcements and Summon Spiderlings much more useful as they will not die as often(Which sucks so much for a later power unlocks that have long cooldowns) and making those two worth to pick especially at end game content. As it stands now I think ill shelf my crabmind which i was excited to play. A few ppl told me it's a struggle to play this build at end game content and as I get closer to 50 I also feel that way as well. Maybe I misinterpret how this playstyle should be but I imagine soldier getting into melee keeping enemies busy while spiders stay at back firing at them.

When MM Ranged pets got updates to their AI it made them so much better and less frustrating to have. This should be extended to Call Reinforcement and Summon Spiderlings as well. There is no reason for Spiderlings to rush into Melee range, it can feel so bad using that power with such high cooldown just for them to go into melee range to use their claws to die in first 15 seconds of the fight.

It seems like it has a programmed follow action whenever it starts attacking the target so when it's powers are on cooldown it will just rush straight to the target exactly like a follow command. It makes it much less useful at lvl 50 since it's in constant danger. For a t9 power it really sucks when it gets into melee range and gets two shot. EDIT: According to someone on reddit from a year ago (It would be nice if this can be fixed in Issue 27): It's a general pet bug introduced around Issue 18-19 where ranged pets would run into melee if their attacks were on cooldown. Though curiously, this isn't an issue for Gravity's Singularity, which stays at range (maybe because its Kinetic-like Repel is an always-on toggle that prevents the bug). Anyway, it is a known bug and was on the table to be fixed on Live, but then the shutdown happened. Hopefully we'll see a fix on Homecoming.

Wow never knew that those have autohit. wish it would say in the tooltip. I slotted PGA just for set bonuses giving me enough for +Recharge procs to help with Hasten. Guess i could fully slot OSA and instead then. Thanks!

Thanks for suggestions! Yes after mobs are cc'd i go into melee range but it seems like Conductive Aura does not give any end if enemies are already drained (at zero). Also I need Tesla Cage fully procc'd out because without the procs, killing boss and up ranks becomes very slow, that thing deals so much ST dmg. I dropped a slot from PGA(Removed Energy Font) and dropped one dmg proc from Chain Fences since i have a lot of AOE dmg already and 4 slot Stamina with 4 perfshifter for end recovery set bonus which gives me an extra 0.25 per sec.. Could also drop Static Field slots to get more from Conductive Aura but if it doesn't get me any end while enemies are at zero which happens very fast then I don't see a point. I think CA would fix all end problems if it worked even if enemies were at zero(Maybe that's a bug? But it feels weird for it to work like that on a set that can drain end of enemies very fast). EDIT: Made some changes in slotting(Removed dmg proc and one -recharge from Static Field. Changed Gremlins slotting to lvl 30 version for more end recovery and added slots to OSA and EMP for max end/end recovery as well. I gained 0.42 more END and with Atlas Medalion that would be 0.57 more end than previously. For Incarnate slotting i guess Clarion is a must or maybe Barrier? Since I don't see a way to get more defense/resist without sacrificing dmg potential from proc slotting.

I've been testing out new TA on Issue 27 beta servers and I'm liking the changes so i wanted to see if i can make Elec/TA combo that i wanted to try out for a while work and it is working better than I've expected well... kind of. It can control and clear out big groups of enemies with ease with only bosses left at 60-70% ish health but then i run out of end while fighting them. There's also survivability problems. If an enemy sneaks up to me and i get mezzed I'm dead. Getting Clarion would help with mez but END problems are still here while getting Ageless would be the opposite. If anyone see a way to improve what I've got so far would be appreciated!

Looks good, I will try without Aid Self and see how it goes, wont be expensive to respec into it if need be (I think i could also remove EndMod and put Power Transfer proc so ill have that proc and the panacea one to help with healing a bit, i think that also could be nice since with heat loss i don't think there should be any problems with end. Thanks for all your input!

Still working towards 50 but in theory having Heat Loss and Infrigidate at 74% (83% with t3 alpha) and with Sleet debuff both of those should have 95% chance to hit. Will test it out once I'm full build vs +4 and add accuracy if it's needed. Still thinking about no self heal for solo play, with Blizzard debuff i should be very hard to hit but in a prolonged fight and without healing insp it might be a struggle.

Thanks for the build, my main problem was that i wanted to put Intuition for extra damage/range but after thinking about it, the only way to get perma hasten was to drop it for Agility one. I mix and matched your build and mine and I've come up this: Had to drop Power Boost even though i tried so hard to keep it in (well i have a variation with Power Boost that has 43% Ranged Def which might be enough imo). Also I'm not sure if removing Aid Self is good idea since if I'm doing missions solo i have no way to heal except using Insp.
