I'll dig up my build for Bury N Hide, my werewolf/Mr Hyde themed Sav/Shield stalker..may not be the best build, but it works great for me. Here are two builds. The first is as leveled 1-50 and beyond. The second is a 'BAMF Melee' build that makes use of Teleport and fold space. It's definitely an 'in progress and unfinished build, but it can give you some ideas. Neither is optimized for positional defenses, but have high resistance. I have some work to do to adjust, but the first build plays well. Bury N Hyde - Stalker (Savage Melee).mxdBury N Hyde - BAMF respec - Stalker (Savage Melee).mxd

I'd love a whole team with Rez power tactics, vengeance et al. Would be a fun group.

The little ringy thing around the power icons show up when you get the extra quakey quakes. Also one power actually changes it's icon completely. If only there was a sound so bat ears could hear when the oven goes ding.... The effects are noticable, I think, too. Pair it with dark?

Buying incarnate ingredients is the least cost effective way to do incarnates. I've never, ever spend an inf on incarnates, and I work on tier 4 for all incarnate slots... So maybe you need to rethink/look again?

My issue is I don't really feel like rolling a character just for pvp, and the characters I love in pve might not build well for pvp. Ah well. I'd sunk about 53 million inf into the alt build. Easy enough to get back with unslotters

This is all great advice. And a good start for me learning. I went with Sentinel because it's my main - it has all the accolades, and is my most solid pve build. But, doing a second PVP build may be a waste of resources if all is as you say. Good to know on DR...if I'm going to build this particular combo for pvp should I try to layer in more resistance as well? Should my attack chain be tightened up to less powers? I see that there are three powers which would make an optimal ST chain for archery. Maybe I don't need more than that? All in all, I'm going back to 'this won't be worth it' and I should pick a different combo if I want to PVP 😔 That Mids > Beta thing is ridiculously awesome, and I think it should be pinned somewhere obvious! Seems so much faster than doing the build in mids, creating a character on beta, and manually doing the auto level and slot thing.

I'm fairly new to PVP (well, except Live rollout) so my goal is doing decent to ok with it in pvp zones solo, and maybe win an arena match now and then. The goal is just to be fairly survivable while plinking out solid ST damage, for a Sentinel at least.

Uh...pvp in pvp zones

Just theory crafting based on what I've read in here. I want to build a decent-to-viable, maybe great PVP build. Here is my first shot at it.

You can use monitor attribute if that's a concern

Necroing the mess outta this post to see what you chose! My main is an Archery/Ninja/Ninja. Yes it's Sent damage, but mine is boosted 57%. range is boosted 67% and movement speed is healthy at 89 mph run speed. The Archery/ninja*2 feels comfortable in the thick of combat, packs all the temp powers a ninja might have, and is loads of fun. I have to not be paying attention to get 1 shotted. The Def boost can be alternated with Barrier for extra sturdiness. I'm also trying out Melee Hybrid and dipping into res debuff through the Interface pool. I just started an Archery/Ninja blaster today, and yes it plays very differently. I'm focusing on holds and stuns a bit as mitigation tools so far. Seems you can work the DoT and proc effects well with archery, no matter what AT. I think Ninja on a Scrapper and a Sent are better than Ninja Training on a Blaster, but I'm researching the forums on it now. If anyone needs my Sent build, it's in the Sentinels forum some place.

I for one, am not impressed at the swap from Ignite to Incinerate. Ignite is a heavy hitting power, even if the fear effect causes scatter. Oranbega maps, for example, are great for "nowhere to run to baby...nowhere to hide" And I'd JUST set up all my macros to capitalize on Ignite, too. It just sucks

Maybe goldside? Congrats on the Dark Tank.

So in my line of thinking, it would be nifty to have a one stop place to post things about each particular Zone. There are lots of cool things packed into different zones and this would be one way to help people find out.

I want symbols for the back too! And I want a motorcycle gang cut, specifically. You know, top and bottom rocker patches with a symbol in the middle. Oh and denim jackets too.

With a healthy dose of Repel, of course

Two mobs, is the time duration of Creepers and Storm Cell, roughly. Long enough to affect two mobs.

It has a synergy to it, Storm Blast. Once you have Storm Cell running, it will live about two mobs similar to Creepers. It buffs everything. If you stack Storm Cell and Cat 5, it quickly feels like nothing is going to touch you. Yeah the T9 comes on slow, but you can start Storm Cell from a distance, hop in, drop the T9, and hop back to ranged. On a Storm/Storm/Elec Corruptor the stacking of freezing rain and storm cell (and why not? snow storm too) means everything crawls and flops like a blobfish. I can't wait to make a blapper with this set as the primary. Tested that too and wow. Nothing can do much by the time you have setup Storm Cell and start swinging.

Running ahead isn't bad in and of itself. I have been on teams where the rule is " do watcha like, just don't get others killed doing it." And that's fine by me. As to the OP, well, can you go ahead of the methed out blaster and get them some more mobs to play with? Go in a different direction? I usually build to solo, so that I can take a different route if it's clear I'm not needed by the team (or teams) on the map. If you're not having fun, yes, find something fun instead.

Setting up? It's an opener for me

On live, Ignite on my AR blaster routinely does 1000+ damage. What is Incinerate going to do by comparison? If it's less, I'm gonna be mad.

Yeah, I want more floors, a whole new map etc

I think a Client side mod for stealth powers is fine but they could also just add a "minimal fx" to these things and it would be fine.

I love all of these. I like the temp powers for the fun of them. I would like to see more events like this in every zone. But I also want to see them scale with your level. My favorite is the Zig. But yes I'd rather be able to go INTO the Zig for the event

I dropped a hearty build over here last weekend.
