Your combo sounds very situational, and that's not a bad thing, I tend to use tidal+AOE most of the time for openers, and once everything is flopping I target the boss for single target until the AOEs are back up. You build tidal stacks with certain attacks, and spend them when you get the orange ring. One of the single target blasts does a tidal quick recharge. I'd put the Decimation build up proc in that power. Anything with kb can use a FF +recharge, but especially AOEs. Whirlpool is especially great for its proc options. I leave Ablative Carapace on auto on pretty much every bio character I play. As far as rotations? I would apply AOEs with secondary effects first, then do the same with ST. I tend to push recharge on my heaviest AOEs but I pay for that in end cost.

I invite you to look up my archery/Ninja/Weapons sent in the forums here. Archery is as good as Dual Pistols on a sent. Maybe better

I have a Shield/Kin tank, and a Kin/bio stalker. The stalker is crazy fun tbh. The tank is packing the Force of Will pool too, so he is a tank with a load of ranged and cones. Who needs taunt when you can hit em with a cone?

Roll it as a tank

I have a black chess pieces group I'm working on. The base is a giant chess board in the middle of a maze.

The number of adults far outweighs the number of youth in this community. I think having to walk on eggshells is very unproductive. Sarcasm is a dying (and yet, undead) art. @Snarky will be missed. I've never seen him say anything that was actually insulting or offensive to anyone. Get over your fee fees people.

So I'm playing a DP/ninja blaster, and I notice that sometimes, when I use Executioner's Strike > Pistols, Pistols activates quickly. Sometimes it doesn't. Is that an RNG thing? Or is there a way to make the snappiness more reliable? It feels really hoss when it happens, and feels mildly annoying when it doesn't. Is this a thing in other powersets too and I just haven't noticed it? 🤔

Starts with you, just delete your account and leave. We will miss you so very badly.

I build on the test server this morning and it's a little bleeding edge style game play. Ended up doing Elec/Fire/Mu. The Mu AOE immob helps a lot. I may add chance to immob where I can before I get a proper Immob power, 35 feels like a long time to wait. Def/Res wise I was able to easily cap fire/cold and got to 50% or so for the rest. Not what I'm used to but...it definitely kicks out a lot of damage a d end drain. I took both consume and short circuit so I always have that "blue me" button handy. I may tweak healing flames to recharge faster by mixing sets. Right now I six slotted it for Panacea. I suspect it will team wonderfully and feel less edgy than soloing, but I always test everything to taste with soloing first. Once I get it rolling it might be another favorite.

Good idea

I looked but don't see anyone doing this particular build? Anyone have advice on balancing def, dmg, end drain and recharge? By level 4 it's possible to have Molten Embrace and Assault. By 20 something you can pick Short Circuit and Consume back to back. This all seems stacked for ridiculous damage and end management, but the def is not easy to balance in with that. Eating reds and purples like candy will work, sure... But I'd love to hit ranged cap without needing purples. As it stands all my defenses in mids show 13-20 something.

Up and coming @wednesdaywoe deserves a shout for her YouTube content and build showcasing. @Rexer for running solid sgs on multiple servers and fostering great PUGs @rtypeninja for being a great build tester and community member.

My Time/DP defender is one of my most survivable, hard hitting characters. I even have multiple builds. Damage, Holds, and Slows

I rather like my Ill/arsenal dom. It's not super tanky yet but it is fun.
