Thraxen

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.

Maybe flip conserve power with laser beam eyes? Psionic taking snipe then harmonic mind seems really good. Have to take three powers from energy to get the ranged attack and the passive buff.

I’d probably still buff eye beams some more. Psionic mastery just seems really good. Snipe and place for performance shifter and power transfer procs. No focused accuracy though but it was just a power to take to get to physical perfection for me at least.

Seems neat I guess. Why though? Seems like it is just encouraging you to proc it out, right? Is this a buff? I’m just really confused. Does it do more damage than before? I tested it out on a copied character. All the attacks were within 2 points of each other. It is fully slotted so makes sense. I’m just confused by an auto hit ranged attack. I love it though. Always gonna get that runner now though.

What in the world is going on with laser beam eyes? It’s auto hit? And the damage is random? Is it based on if would have hit or not? Or just how high the roll? If it is auto hit, just throw all the procs you can? Does slotting damage matter? I’m so confused.
