That's changed in my most recent version! It's now taken at level 10.

After everyone's great advice, I've tweaked the build quite a lot and come up with this: Antikytherion - Hero Controller Build plan made with Mids' Reborn v3.7.5 rev. 21 ──────────────────────────────

Oooh, that's a really good point. Thanks!

Very valid, thanks! That's because it's also a Chance for KD, not just KB->KD. It means that they'll be doing soft controls with KD frequently, at least in theory. I did have Flash in the build initially, but I found that I just didn't really like it, mostly because it was up so rarely. EM Pulse was better, but the End debuff was painful.

All fantastic points, thank you! That's surprising! I'm seeing what you mean, plus it can get me some extra Ranged/AoE defense by not worrying about procs. Does it really need to be recharging before the duration is up? This one was almost entirely for the set bonuses. Thanks so much for the feedback, that helped tighten things up quite a lot.

Because there doesn't seem to be an option to download the build to Mids in my last post (I'm not great with the export options) here's one now: Antikytherion - Controller (Illusion Control - Radiation Emission).mbd

Hi all! It's been a while since I've tried to make a really high-end Controller, so I thought I'd post here to get some feedback from y'all if you're so-inclined. C&C very welcome.

Thanks so much! I'll have a play around with those suggestions and see how it goes!

Hi, all! Pretty much exactly what it says on the title. I've put together a build that I'm tentatively happy with, but I'm not super-experienced with high-end Controller builds so any feedback would be appreciated. (Sorry for the link rather than post. Mids keeps giving me errors when I try to export to forum text.) Aetherios Starbinder - Controller (Illusion Control - Darkness Affinity).mbd

Hi all. I'm looking for a way to make my Warshade capable of soloing AVs. As it stands I have no trouble fighting them (I can and have fought them for 10-20 minutes without either of us dying before friends arrived to help), but the regen rate just doesn't let me make much of a dent in them with my current build. Ideally I'd like to make the build work to take them on rather than relying on temporary powers. Here's what I'm using right now (though I'm still filling out the last two sets - Ragnarok and Armageddon). Any suggestions are appreciated! | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1785;809;1618;HEX;| |78DA7D94D94F135114C6EFB4534A37A096B2C85E96420B5DD407D418E212150425C| |1E5911418EC682D645A8844836234718F6FC66712A32F3E28B8BCB8E05FE0BB467D| |F24941C518D77A98EFD04EAC7192E637FDEE77CE3DF7DE73A7EFF80EE79D5D335D4| |22ADA9E88A5528387625A2A1E1B51AC03C3AA921C56043D8E8134A9694D1D51342B| |FDAF5B350DEE1B1D5592297552091D3836A4C51283DB2849BA363BBE43F96B7CEB8| |416737727E38AA624D3A1D5177BFFD858223430AE28236EFDB53B39A9A6D42135A1| |A6A71CBAB233A11E8EA79D308E69C38A36252AA8964EFA9D710A7E3216B14716222| |A0BB907ACE806EB77830D7D60472F38918B15A25C12A2461633A449D064296AD27D| |A60858D40ED6879861D0471B63D683329239285003F32CE5B3209FC9720BFEEADBA| |0FF3AD848F156AEC36AE3B948B0B166F34ABA769E7239F4EA32168730C3F703FE92| |9FCC5FE09ADF606D177C5314EBE27C2ECE67A3398A592B66ED22F9DCBC7EF77793B| |E274DA3588BFF88D0FFFBE360DB17CC7182623C88317BD661BED2305816051B79AD| |27C9EB95F43508EF41CCB95046DBCF7594F3BE5D225F25E7ACBC0FADF11EF31C72B| |5BC43EECBE4AD626FD5239C6DDB1C1878C09C072F90B786E7AAF122FE2A6975DC43| |75CFA1353C613E05DB9F81E1C7CC05F00AC5FA38D6B784BADA97998B60D367AEF72| |3D8F1093C4DB1CD384F73F332F2B57D03035FC18E6BF09E226F2BBCA2B59FE89785| |83CE2FC86B09BE846F9A7C21D642D3D85F41FB1B612DC2E75C2D1B7A3F438FA8D71| |57D864C206F3492A744F394F579CA863CA5C7A8B850736F9EAB5FCEDE4221E98AAD| |44AC74BC5EDD7ED97037AAB04F2E397B8724EB2CFA247A132CFACF58F1CA18EEAEC| |5FA06B94CAFC082D7CCB76021F75B13F75F492EAFC5FA10F90AB947ED73A0739EC9| |3DBCDAB366397B67248F867CE17150CE8D090FF7A845D770F73D5BE05BDBC9DCC8D| |F954D7CE73783D1BB38EB825C3ED913C4983DC0DF8956B0D40F96B58056630D7C4E| |8539CDE4398AF554F0B7A1360EBEB7D3C9497C728D1447318B46AD01EBF9F00FDF9| |251E3EF85A794002DF382268F720F0CD957760EEF7B0DBAC99BF3DF30E8B3BEDCFB| |1F794C1440| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
