I do at first when it’s an option. Most of the time people just run around like crazy. I just hang out in melee for aoe hold power and use the three buffs then on the tank or try to get as many as possible.

Can the items you have to unlock be added to the creation selection and have a note on how to unlock them? Can see them first before you go unlock. And also let people who don’t read the full patch notes know they exist. I also think this is incredibly dumb to start doing. What’s the point? Get people to sub longer? Probably just the first part of many to come I imagine. Why add back something that was awesome when it was removed. Why??????? Was it meant to be like a little joke? Want a snake skin cape? You have to go kill 50 snakes. That is kinda neat. But only thing I can even think of aside from reintroducing grind elements to this game. is it add a few things here and there so we don’t notice the full effect until later? Between this and the new team composition thing it seems like someone really wants to introduce the worst parts of other games into this game for some reason.

I don’t much care for this at all. I know it’s a bonus and optional but I bet a lot will make it required to do the tf. It drives me crazy when people involve a minimum level for random mission teams. This change will just add more of that type of stuff. One of the worst things about other games is the queue time for dps is generally longer than tank or healer. This game doesn’t have it. Which is great. Why add it?????

Touch of fear is really good. Taunt comes in handy when you want to tank. Hasten is 12 seconds from perma. I wouldn't spend a lot of slots chasing just toxic resist. It helps, sure, but it isn't very common.

Yeah, especially if solo or duo, I'd take entangling aura. It can be stacked with Telsa cage and hold bosses. It reliably will hold minions on lts. Skipping the rez is fine for this type of play too. I tend to use it a lot but my nature is my support toon I take on 1-4 star ITFs. Uun up there mentioned most other things. Spore Cloud needs some love. Especially if solo/duo. The -to hit goes a long way. Here is my build. It is /sonic so doesn't care about all the -end of course. Looks like I could have saved myself a slot in hasten. Anyway, might be worth some ideas.

Well found a video. Seems cool but too annoying for me. My PB is pretty good without having to do all that stuff.

First I’ve ever heard of this. I’ll have to check video out. If it is switching back and forth a lot I wouldn’t even want to try it. It’s a lot of noise and lights. I love my pb. First toon I made when started playing again just in case it got shut down I’d have a tank or dps. WS I finally made but don’t like it cause of the constant changing.

I play nature a lot. I can take a look later. Mine is for team play though. Want tons of recharge to get the buffs perma. Mine is nature/sonic. I’ll share my build too when I get home. Stacking other holds with entangling aura is nice.

Replace conserve power with just about anything and I’d be happy. Never pick it. Never.

Sr is great. Play what’s fun though. Try sr/spines.

Id do energy/sr. 95% ddr is great.

Diamagetic for sure. A lot of people never take it so odds of it being nullified is lower on raids.

Poison/dp with poison rounds.

Bonfire is getting fixed or nerfed if you’re going triple fire. It’s probably still good. I’ve got a triple fire that is fun. Has rise of the phoenix 5 slotted. Might need it more now.

I only team and storm is just slow. either recasting storm cell all the time or watching it creep along. I love the snipe power, or same animation on sentinels, or I'd have given up again on it. We'll see. I tried a cold/storm def and it is stuck too.

Thanks. SR is for theme mostly, kinda speedsterish. May switch from leadership and take experimentation for travel. Have the buff on my PB, would probably be nice on a Sent as well. He is 31. Gonna wait until changes go live before I invest anymore time with it. I really wanna like Storm but it is a struggle.

I'm gonna give storm another shot with upcoming buffs. Here is build I have atm. Toon is only 30 right now so not close to actually doing in game build. Let me know. Lightnin Thrax - Sentinel (Storm Blast - Super Reflexes).mbd

My dp/sr has flurry 5 slotted and doesn’t leave melee.

Shouldn’t need one. Changes coming to the APPs. I’ve been taking the scrap taunt a lot lately is I end up being the only one, including tanks and brutes, that have a taunt, and it comes in handy. Doubles as a ranged attack as it makes them come back and reduces range. I like having a ranged attack for apex tf. Envenomed daggers is good for this too. Lot depends on theme.

Taunt is good. It’s literally the grab aggro power. And it helps when playing a tank class to take the tank taunt power.

It takes almost nothing to get SR to be great. I always take combat jumping so a little biased there. I'm addicted to the movement. Aside from that, it is a couple procs in tough. Or the 6 slot Gaussians's in build up. It is super easy. DDR is a bit lower than melee toons get, but you won't have the aggro they do. And you have the lil shield I call it.

Do Dark/SR. Unless you like archery then do it and sr.

I'm unsure that if you're a scrapper, and you're taking an APP, there is a reason NOT to take psi now. Has a ranged attack, which is a snipe, and gets an endurance tool passive that takes both good procs. That is ignoring the other 3 powers from psi. Only reason against it is RP/theme reasons. I'll still keep shadow meld on my vamp toon, but he only has it for thematic reasons.

only mm I play, and that is barely at all, is demons time. Should be fine without it.

I was late to the bonfire party. That shit is broke as fuck. I finally got around to making a triple fire blaster. Don’t need any shields or self rez when they all popping like popcorn. I just made my blaster like 6-8 months ago. Didn’t realize it was an exploit or whatever but makes sense as it became my opener.
