Proc bombs then whatever recharge I can fit after that.

Yeah, I might be more inclined to think charitably if the OP could speak without being so dogmatic, but overall I’m not seeing a need here.

Point is those sets lost something, so they got something. Electric Armor didn’t lose anything. Likewise, you’ll have to lose something if you want this Willpower buff.

Talking about how Hurricane is a great power if you know how to use it is not impressive to me. I know how to use it. Most do. I don’t know how to justify using it when it’s, ya know, completely unnecessary. It’s way easier to just spam Freezing Rain, Tornado, and Lightning Storm and blast in between, and I don’t miss the tohit debuff at all.

As a side note, Burnout is particularly fun for Stormies. 4 Lightning Storms out at once anyone?

Hurricane is okay against AV’s but ultimately too situational for me to take.

Steamy Mist, Freezing Rain, Tornado, and Lightning Storm are your core do-not-skip powers. Both Tornado and Lightning Storm should have a KB->KD, an FF proc, and solid damage/recharge slotting.

The psi resists were added to sets with typed defense because typed defense got nerfed. Electric armor has nothing to do with any of that.

No one I team with has ever complained about Fold Space, which I take on every character, so I guess that makes me fun, sure.

Or just know how to use the power correctly and team with good players. But sure, I’m sure you can diagnose narcissism from an AoE teleport 🙄

Fold Space is great. Don’t listen to the folks that want you to slow your roll on Fold Space. If you ain’t first, you’re last.

Regeneration is not a Tanker powerset btw

Obviously Psionic Mastery is objectively not “really bad”

It’s just that Sonic’s own damage is rather lackluster, so it’s better at being a force multiplier for other sets. Fire, Ice, etc are going to do better damage on their own.

If you mean as a part of an 8-man team, yes. If you mean as a duo, I personally would pick a different primary.

Nope.

Yeah my BA/Bio/Soul feels pretty meta too, that’s what I voted.

That’s nice but why are you using Single Shot lol

The only reasons to play a Brute include: - /Fire farming - Tankiest versions of /Regen and /Energy - Scrappiest version of Super Strength So it’s gotta involve some of that. I voted Rad/Fire/Mu for most meta even though I run Spines/Fire/(Energy or Pyre).

Lol sure

Nature Affinity with Resilient Radial alpha and Power Boost.

Honestly if you’re planning to stay at range, that tips the scales away from /Atomic, where Beta Decay is one of the signature powers.

Well, that’s one way to build. I just prefer offenses over set bonuses on Blaster. I use Barrier/inspirations/teammates for survival and don’t pursue defense bonuses at all. With that in mind, I would typically have 2 damage procs in Blaze, 3 in Blazing Bolt, and 5 in Char. Probably some in your secondary’s heavy hitter too. But, again, that’s if you can stand life without defense bonuses.

I find your lack of damage procs disturbing 😉

I give Frigid Protection a couple of cool points for being Absorb instead of Regen, but I give Metabolic Acceleration perhaps a point or two more for not drawing aggro. Ultimately, I also think /Ice has the more appealing melee attacks while /Atomic has Beta Decay. So it’s a tough choice between the two. If you have enough damage from Primary/Ancillary, maybe lean /Atomic for the +recharge. Otherwise, consider /Ice. EDIT: I see you referred to Freezing Touch and Positronic Cell as copies. This is not the case. Freezing Touch is a melee attack and does a lot of damage before procs are even considered. Also, yeah, don’t skip Beta Decay.
