Technically, but it's not leaving a lot of other options. I should add that any power that has a kick animation is welcome to be considered.

I am looking to find out,across all archetypes, who has the most damaging kicks? I'll probably use this knowledge to make something really stupid. So help a brother out?

Beta server building method...and tis is a new approach for me, but I liked it. Using auto level, step to milestone levels for the character. Ymmv but for me that's 7, 17, 22, 35, 44, and 50. Outfit the enhancements the best you can along the way, saving screenshots. You now have a roadmap, and an idea of the pain points as you build out Just last night I did this with a Pistols/Devices blaster. Early on I made the decision I wanted to prioritize End Recovery Bonuses, then Damage, then Def/Resist. I made these decisions by exploring slot bonuses and sticking to my arbitrary "flavor rules" for this character. In this case that meant no "super" travel powers outside of Infiltration and Combat Jumping. It Ended up being very AOE centric as well. This morning I joined a PUG in PI and said toon is now 22. I need to kit him out, but I know if I exemp down, what I can go for as essential for making it workable.

There's a random builder?!? Cool.

Look at you, completely missing my point. Go you.

Agreed, leave farmers alone. Don't like it don't do it. Don't like incessant requests? Ignore the person. Easy

Just get a Mac then you can't run mids and won't worry about it. Works for me. Seriously I'd love to see this tool making use of city of data in a web app format. It makes zero sense for it t be standalone anymore.

I used to have a windows machine, and so I had Mids. But since moving to Mac, I've learned what works pretty well. I like discovering my playstyle and building to it. What does this alt do well at level 11? Level 20? Etc. sometimes it changes drastically and unless you make the journey, you really don't know. This is why I rarely farm for levels, unless I just know my next power pick or slot can vastly improve my play experience.

Ever heard of Jousting? It's when you target a mob, run by or jump over them, and the power goes off. If you do it right all they can manage to do is ranged retaliation. This is part of the blapper style you may have heard about. If you want a great secondary for it that will teach you via faceplanting and learning, /energy manipulation is great. I'm running a pistols/em now. Feels exciting

Thanks movement power guru! Yeah I had a closer look and I see all this now. Since you can set travel power stances to Ninja Run that's one less power I need in the tray.

Does. that mean these three DO stack? Because, I don't mind burning end while travelling for running all three of em. Off to test!

What do you mean doesn't stack? On my Ninja Sent I use Ninja Run, Sprint, and Infiltration for my travel. That plus the Ninja Speed Boost clicky and they all seem to work well in conjunction. Add the ninja stealth/first strike power and Celerity proc together, everything combines seamlessly. And rikti drones can't see me.

My original on live (and my Forum namesake) was an Assault Rifle/Energy Manipulation Blaster. Here are screenshots of his build. You may be able to make use of various things. Highlights: Power Boost really, really helps your Defense. Great AOE cones. Widen those AR cones. No wider. Wider. Has a relatively high recharge Decent ST Damage both melee and ranged.

That's gonna happen sometimes. On any AT.

It really depends. Sometimes you have a character tuned *just so* for maneuverability, and Ninja Run + Speed boost feels fiddly.

It really depends. Sometimes you have a character tuned *just so* for maneuverability, and Ninja Run + Speed boost feels fiddly. Sometimes your Celerity Stealth proc is in Sprint too. Speed boost is largely annoying, movement wise. The other day I was on an ITF with 3 kins. The only person not dying all over the place was me, and it was the triple speed boost's fault. 😂

If you hate speed boost, go to Null the Gull in Pocket D, and turn it off for your character. You'll still get the recovery bonus anyway.

I gave away a perfectly awesome SG base when I migrated everything to Excelsior from Reunion, back in the day. What does a cool non-bespoke base go for usually? What about a bespoke one?

Kinda stalkery. No thanks

I don't have mids, so an embed in the forums would be appreciated. Thanks for an attempt at least! I'm hoping someone with a killer mace build can speak up. I kinda know shield fairly well.

This. Bats, knives, titan weapons, staff (pool cues) etc. Street Justice and Martial Arts too!

So I leveled a Mace/Shield to 50. I wanted to love it, but it ended up feeling lackluster. I've since field stripped it to feed alts, but I'd love some help building something that is as impressive as possible in the DPS department, and at least doesn't get pummelled too badly at +4/8 content. This is a long term project, and I'm willing to invest in it before I start working on Incarnates. I'm open to whatever epics and power pools help the most with DPS/recharge. I'm willing to listen about optimal ST and AOE chains, and skip attacks not needed. Anyone have some advice or a great build to share?

I read that as "internationally" make a mess of things. I think it's a good motto.

all great advice! I am having trouble not choosing powers from the primary and secondary! Everything is so good. The only pool stuff I took is Hasten and Speed...and I might take burnout just to for extra recharge oomph in a pinch. I don't see myself caring much about defenses on this guy! Everything is tactical!
