Errants

Granted, I've just rolled a Staff/Stone Scrapper, so I get to see what it is like, again...

I haven't ran numbers, but I've adopted this stance on my Staff/SR Stalker (locked into Body). I don't have Sky Splitter due to the DPA (same as Serpent's Reach and worse than Precise Strike), and so only expend stacks when I use the PBAoE. Seems to work fantastically. Granted, on a Stalker, I have AS to supplement on ST damage.

BINGO, that's it. Have it off, due to smol one also using the computer.

So, due to circumstances, I'm currently playing on 3 different installs (Main PC, laptop, and kiddo's PC/common PC). On my main and laptop, I can shift my characters on the login interface and they stay, but on the common PC, the order keeps scrambling. I attempted to both clear and/or delete the "playerslots" text file, with no change... Any better solution?

Oh, I know... Mained one for years. Kat/Regen/Soul as well... Have since found others that I didn't have to fight the secondary to get performance out of.

Can't perma it, and expends the +Damage stacks. Staff almost perversely works better if you stay at max stacks and don't expend them... Hence, best use, IMO, is Mind for +Recharge. Again, Staff feels as though it is trying to be too much, and winds up spread too thin as a result.

My thoughts... Battle Axe Benefits from high Recharge, has some soft control through KU/D Broad Sword Parry for +Def, not much else. Claws LOVES stupid amounts of Recharge, minimal KD/B Dark Melee -ToHit and supplemental healing synergy Dual Blades Claws, but less mitigation - Also, Combo gimmick for set, which is entirely ignored on the tuned DPS chain Electric Melee Minimal mitigation, and likes large mobs... which seems less than ideal for Regen Energy Melee Soft control through stuns, huge DPS potential with Recharge Fiery Melee No mitigation, and no extra damage over other sets... Ice Melee Ice Slick, passive mitigation through slows Katana Parr...Divine Avalanche for +Def, likes +Recharge better than Broadsword due to DPA of attacks Kinetic Melee -Dam passive mitigation, boost power likes Recharge but still can't be perma'd Martial Arts Soft Controls - Stun, KD/B - only one AoE, so doesn't thrive on being surrounded Psionic Melee Mix of soft controls (Stun and KU) with hard controls (Hold/Confuse+) Radiation Melee Stun in top attacks - wants to be surrounded for AoE/Aura Savage Melee Actually gives Recharge with Blood Thirst stacks, but only some soft control with KD Spines KD in Ripper, passive mitigation through slows - wants to be surrounded for AoE/Aura Staff Fighting Form of the Mind for Recharge, a Stun, +Def Power, and a mix of KD/U - many AoE's and feels like it spreads to thin to be focused Stone Melee Hold, Stun, KB/U, high DPA attacks with long timers also craving moar Recharge Street Justice Stun and KD/U, high DPA attacks which would like QR and Recharge Titan Weapons +Def, high DPA in Momentum - Momentum window can and will get screwed by Regen clicks War Mace Stun and KD/U - would rather play with Nrg to be strong and pretty

So, here's the query: /Regeneration wants MASSIVE +Recharge, plus some sort of secondary mitigation... Which primary(s) is the best option for that? Discuss?

I grab one of the runs from a START vendor on all my toons... Guess it'll just be assigned Athletic (And stance swapped via Tailor to the right one) now, thanks to the NPE changes. That+Sprint works pretty damn well in most zones. I also abuse base teleporters in my cottage SG (Note, need to add Striga to the Co-Op portal), and the ferry/train/portal systems in the maps. Eventually, I'll buy the Mission/Base/Team Teleporters on a toon... but they're very much an afterthought. My line of thinking - travel powers are dead power picks/mules. I take them for concept builds only... They do nothing to help me do anything to progress in the game, because they're non-viable in combat scenarios. So, I'd rather take a combat power. Edit: Also, specifically on this toon - I've extra movement speeds from several sources... I'm almost as fast as travel-powered toons. Essentially, it doesn't add up to enough of a detriment to take a few seconds longer to get to a mission.

This is my current list of rolled/projects... Aiming to get one of each Primary to 50. Only Spines and TW are complete. Elm, Rad, Stone, and WM are locked in/rolled. The rest need names/concepts/outfits... and could be juggled on secondaries/epics.

Be nice if they scaled to 30%, to mimic the other SR sets... Also, it'd be nice if they capped out before 0%... Maybe max effect at 10%? Also, does it go offa base HP for level/class, or actual max HP, taking into account +HP buffs. I could see trying to jigger in more +HP to get closer to cap to take advantage of the greater regen/resistance window.

1) Top Tier Name 2) I have a TW/Nin - She is absurdly fun. And a magical girl. Who uses her powers for profit.

Agile shows Kismet on my end. Health gets the globals for exempting purposes... IIRC, you lose the globals if you lose the power, right? If not, 100% makes sense, due to this being a 50 respec, not a leveling build. Guarded Spin is slow and cone... Ew. But I get the logic. Not sure it'll make the cut... also PBAoE sets are jank. Gaussians' in Build Up was extra slots (a build with EXTRA!?) and extra Def insurance for higher level foes. Gonna put together a new build, with some tweaking.

Interesting... so integrating Exploding Shuriken for additional AoE and BU resets, and maintaining stacks of Physical, versus spending them on Sky Splitter? (obviously, using Eye of the Storm will do so...) Makes me want to consider holding onto Weapon Mastery (bonus, more in line with character concept) and potentially even DROPPING Sky Splitter from the rotation and/or build. Time to play City of Theory, again.

Round 2: thanks for the feedback that it is broken... using 2023.9.605 myself. Which export option should I be using, because BBC seems to have some format errors. Matrim - Stalker (Staff Fighting - Super Reflexes).mbd
