    I <3 Debuffs: Poison/Rad, or How I Stopped Healing and Learned to Love the -DEF

    in Defender

    Posted · Edited by Dahkness

    I main a poison/fire defender for almost over a year so far. I've build for high DEF and RES to most on my guy at first. Thinking that was the way to go since that's what everyone's doing or saying you need to build for. I did that. It was fun. But I wanted to do mooore dmg on endgame content >.<! So I gather my resources we have on CoH: Homecoming and tried to go as proc heavy as I could without sacrificing to much. This play style is not lazy it does take a lot of focus and alertness when you are jumping mob to mob. Also its a little expensive to maintain. The feeling of what you can do out weights the price tag. 

    My own personal tips I have for you that i've experienced playing a poison pretty much straight over the last year with very little alting. 

    My tips to make you a god imo.
     

    1. Get Defense Amplifier from p2w vendor. I always buy 8 hours at a time. (OMG its amazing. Its just enough mez  protection to get you through trash mobs and you get a 5% def and 7% res buff to all. This helps me keep my offensive toggles up 85% of the time.

    2. Run Ageless Core Epiphany on cool down for the maximum end recovery uptime and the extra recharge. (This is were Defense Amplifier  comes in handy! You don't have to run clarion this way).

    3. I also buy 8 hours of Offense Amplifier and Survival Amplifier for overall improvement of my characters stats. I look at these temp powers of me having to repair my armor. Most mmos I've played I had some kind of repair bill. I just feel more involved and also gives me something to work for after I finish all my IO sets instead of just making a new toon. 

    4. Build for 7% Def to all. Reasoning: Defense Amplifier  gives you 5% def to all and that will boost you to 12% Def to all. 

     -This  part is the bread and butter to my poison build.
    -INSPRIATIONS! Phenomenal lucks give you 33% def to all and last for 60 seconds. This will boost you to 45% to all. I always carry a full tray of these bad boys. I use them on cool down if im moving really fast through mobs.
    -/AH is amazing. I'm using it to just buy and store thousands of my Phenomenal lucks. I buy in bulk. Maybe a few hundred at a time. You can /AH in a tf in between missions really fast. Its so easy to use to keep your belly nice and full. And this allows me to slot for pure proc dmg and gives me more of diversity to my building. 
    -I played a lot of Elder Scrolls online and I got used to playing with potions on cooldown that last for 60 seconds as well that would boost my dmg overall. This is how I look at my inspirations.

    Thiis pretty much sums it up. ENJOY YOUR POISON how ever you decide to play it! I love mine sooo much. They are a blast! 

     

    I would do something like this. For a pure dmg build / very little team support.

    PS:  This method isn't good if you are looking to do HC: No Inspirations content. Just make a Time Defender with power boost farsight. That's the cheep way to build for procs and and 45% def or just run with a Time defender for hard content to buff you

    What Pairs Best With Poison?

    I love fire blast! I enjoy the raw dmg it brings. And I also prefer defenders for poison. The two heal /absorb procs really help since you don’t have a self heal. Fold space and combat tp really changed my life when it comes to poison.

    Rad/Kin proc build - Let's do something that doesn't involve softcapping

    I build with the same idea with all my toons. I build for 7% Def to all and buy the P2W def that gets me to 12% and then I buy a boat load of 33% that gets me to 45% def to all. I have about 300/500 stock piled at a time in /AH. That helps me when I want to slot out any AT for pure proc dmg.  
     

    I really like your play style!!! Makes the game so much more fun and keeps you on your toes.

    You mean to tell me you have both Rune of Protection and Fold Space on a Shieldy? Pretty adventurous ballsy building, respect.

     

    Fold Space failing on +4 bosses depresses me too much.

     

    Bit masochistic when it comes to min/max thinking, but my favorite animation is the Total Focus / Thunderstrike / Tremor / Defibrillate one. 

    On one toon I had that. I mostly main defenders. I use it with every soul drain and I tp the mob to the boss in the group. Just need to need to be Strategic. Ive gotten really good with fold space I’m able to stack and pull 3 mobs and surpass the agro cap.

    Possible tweak to Corruptors?

    Reason I Pick Defenders over Corrs for me is that I can get the best minmaxing  for my defense powers  that saves me slots for offensive powers.

     

    I’d like to see the inherit power change like defenders. More people dmg’d on you’re team the more dmg scourge does. Something to reflect it’s counter part being able to cut on slots for dmg cause of all the extra def they can get

    I don't have a PS5 yet, cause I'm unwilling to pay scalper prices. But I am playing Demon's Souls. Then again, I have an original model PS3. Good thing too since my PS2's disk drive stopped working last week.

    He got lucky. PSN network reached out to him and put him into que cause he’s a   PS+ member. Was a able to get it for market price.

     

    The soul series is so hard!!! I never beat it. I have to watch people do it lol. 
     

    Rip ps2.

    Update with running this method! I love it, it’s great. It’s not to be relied on for complete survivability. It’s great to always have some kind of high res shield always up to click though.
