arcane

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.

Most butthurt poster of 2023 for sure

I’m too lazy to type about why Cold is potentially the best powerset in the game, but please don’t judge characters at level 14.

I read the thread title and thought “are you out of your god damn mind”

There are already a lot of ways to increase range. Bonuses, Intuition/Cardiac, Clarion Radial, etc. Teleport is already easily the best travel power in the game. Not seeing a need here.

I like being able to slot Armageddon and Fury of the Gladiator procs in my single target chain, so your suggestion would have a negative impact on the set for me. Respectfully no thank you.

Dominators are fine/good with endurance. No issue detected.
