How is it broken? I have an Elec/Time and it seems to be working perfectly.
A pet that stops following randomly and continues to us END is just a waste on multiple levels. After complaining about this bug a while back I just dealt with it. Now that the new content is out the uselessness of this power is overwhelming. For the first time in 15 years I'm seriously considering on changing my primary build.
If you have Voltaic Sentinel and are playing incarnate content or playing with the new difficulty system forget about it. The pet will stop following, you will continue to waste END and unless you keep looking behind you, you will wrongfully believe you are being supported to the fullest of your build.
And as long as I'm Bitching about Voltaic Sentinel changes. Why is it that now when I get stunned it detoggles and turns off? The entire purpose of that pet has been changed. Voltaic Sentinel is now almost completely useless as a power due to the changes made to it.
The tracking problem is a must fix. The detoggle is a close second. If Voltaic Sentinel is changed back to a timed cast at least ill know when it is working.I'm not the only one who has noticed this. it's been posted on the Bug Forums too.

I'd remove that Preventative Medicine in Health and put that slot in in Cauterizing Aura. Then put a Numina in it. Grab that extra Regen.
Switch the Impervium out of Tough for the Unbreakable Guard in Fire Shield. Again picking up the set bonuses of both.
Other than that it's a solid build.

Elec/Energy Blasters are among the least powered Blasters in the Game. And one of the powers Voltaic Sentinel is Broken. VS probably wont be fixed any time soon as it s one of the least used powers in the game.
Just something to chew on.

I want an opinion....or two.
I am trying to rebuild my Elec/Energy Blaster
My +Def build is 479 Regen and 1403 HP with mid 30's Def and 39-58 Resistance
My +Acc build is 468 Regen and 1439 HP with upper teens Def but 30-51 Resistance
My +Resistance Build is 236 Regen and 1444 HP with mid teens Def and 70-75 Resistance
Anyone have an opinion on Regen over HP over Resistance on a Blaster? Please keep in mind this is one of the weakest Blaster sets in the game. So +DMG isn't much of a thing. Survivability is King.

Its an old build before the changes. I know that VS is extra dps. I just wanted to know if the original poster had time to get back to the build since the change. I see that i worded it poorly. All good though.
VS is pretty badly broken since the last update. I'm trying to work out a good build myself w/o VS. It's a shame. I've depended on VS for 15 years.

This sounds suspiciously like something Dr. Aeon would try to pull off.

There is a bug thread for typos here.

I have it on good authority that this is a client side error and corrects itself upon logging out then back in again.

It all depends on the level of perception each NPC has. The higher their perception is set the more likely that are to run off and attack the next mob before you are ready.
As was said above, I also tend to try to leave them behind as quickly as possible just to avoid the hassle.

Well no, I understood you fine. I just disagree with you on the likelihood of it ever happening.
I totally agree with that statement. It does have a small likelihood of ever happening.

I read your post just fine. As you said, people may literally have thousands of EMP merits. So what? This has never been an issue before nor is it likely to ever be one. Sure, it is possible every player would cash out every EMP merit all at once. It is also possible to get struck by lightning or win the lottery. Again, even if that did happen, so what? That does not mean it will crash the economy. It should be clear now there are quite a lot of players who were converting these to reward merits for Winter IOs, ATOs or Purple Recipes or to buy recipes from the merit vendor for their alts, which is not going to cause inflation or whatever other detrimental thing you seem to be concerned about. No doubt there are already trillionaires in the game and the economy has not crashed because of them.
Ok, fine. You read it correctly. You just utterly failed completely to understand the possibility I was proposing.

Given the chatter I have seen about this in game since the patch, there has been an excess of EMP merits for a few years now and the in game economy has never crashed because of them. It would not have crashed now either.
You didn't read my statement correctly. "The Danger is many people cashing out at the same time." Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it wont ever happen. Maybe I'm unusual but I rarely ever used my EMP Merits and I have probably thousands across all my toons.

I have mixed thoughts on this. I never did the Emp to Reward Merit thing but I kind of understand why people would do it. But at the same time, the idea of making a disposable toon for the purpose of harvesting Empyrean Merits just does not sit well with me.
This. @Krimson is totally correct on this. If I had a guess most people playing the game did nothing with Emp Merits and they just accumulated on toons.
What happens when the game has an excess of Emp Merits? Two possibilities, people miss out on content and rewards or, the danger of a large number of players cashing out at the same time causing the in game economy to crash.
I really believe if we had access to the game numbers they would show few people where spending their Emp Merits and there was a huge excess of them in game.

Double the fun.
But this reminds me of a different mission with defeat silver mantis as an objective. I defeated her and the objective didnt complete. I did the rest of the mission, went back where she was and killed 1 mob that i missed. Then she spawns a second time and i had to kill her again and the objective completed.
Mine happened on a outdoor map in cap au diable, i think it was defend generators.
She double spawns in another mish, I posted in bug reports a while ago. Her first spawn is at the end of the hall. If you jump over her to the back wall she spawns again. If you defeat the second spawn the first spawn is still active on the map. Maybe it’s one of her Super Powers? Summon Doppelgänger.

lol, that’s gotta suck if soloing on an under developed toon.

No. The map missions and contacts will always be within the frame of the game.
You want Menu-Options-Graphics and Audio -Screen UI/Resolution to play with the size of your Game Window. Choose Windowed mode.

I’m pretty sure I remember the Hulk putting out a fire with Hand Clap.

I remember back on live that happened in the Magic Store in SC from time to time.

This idea I hate. If you’re starting to pay for (x) amount of XP you may as will charge for a free 1-50 token that can be emailed to any of your toons.

It’s so old we call it a feature.

I guess I don't understand the problem here, but maybe something you can get from P2W to turn it off, much like you can decline certain inspirations, etc.? Seems like that wouldn't be too hard to make, even if only @Rudra uses it. 🙂 Someone will want a badge attached to refusing x amount of Patrol XP.
lmao, turn off Patrol XP so the toon can be tracked for a badge, for not wanting to be tracked, is still tracking the toon.

I really like this idea. It really smacks of pen and paper RPG. It would be a lot of fun.
Elec/Energy Blaster Build

This is totally going to suck 😕 This is my main toon and I've been using the same build for almost 15 years. With that build minus Voltaic Sentinel (because it's currently broken) I can squeak out 1498 HP and 476 Regen.
I'm going to have to look at that build in a different way now and I hate it.
Thanks for the info guys. It's appreciated.
