Hmm. Illu Storm looks like the choice if its also versus a hard target, AV/GM, I know traps is a good thing too but just thought about what would be a troller where i could dish out the most damage.

Thinking about it in terms of solo capacity

Would it be plants/storm?

You can reach the softcap with some frankenslotting, here it is for SLEN, but you give up resistances, which can be filled in with Meltdown later Villain Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.7 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

Do you mean Dark Consumption? If so, I think the best place to replace it would be with Shadow Maul, those can be interchangeable since the AoE can still be slotted for the toxic res. That doesn't get gimped by the recovery debuffs?

Yea, I think I could have clarified that a bit better, so far, I've got a TW/Bio scrapper and a Illu/Rad troller who'd be coming to the table. From there, I'm just looking at what else would fill out the slots well. Once all the level shifts get acquired, it'll be a lot easier, but initially it'll probably be a bunch of Lambda runs before anyhting else.

The question isn't to gear up before the iTrials, it's to use them as the main source of material, etc

Well, that's good to know, but also, the goal is to try to conquer the itrials with a group without any shifts to begin with, even if it might be a bit hard to start.

TW/Bio Scrapper or Brute Fire/Cold Corrupter or Plant/Dark Controller Deeps and Control Alternatively WM or SS if TW isn't enjoyable.

Hmm, you're right. I think the v key is not bound to anything important, so I might use that one. That's a good idea since I won't need to be doing ctrl+number pressing and it makes it a little easier. I actually use the vendor to limit certain inspiration drops, so I might want to make a bind that hits those, and get it to bind to one button, since there's a limit on the size of the bind

Hey guys, trying to flesh out an idea here and am thinking about what would be some good options / viable choices with regards to this. Let's say you and your static team have now hit 50, and you want to start taking on the incarnate Trials, none of you have any level shifts, nor do you have alphas, so you're going to have to go about it the hard way. You jump into your initial Lambda's, BAFs, Keyes because these are the initial ones. You don't have any destinies to shoot your stats over the roof, and all the enemies got that +4 looming on you difference. What would you want on your team to make this a more pleasant experience? My thoughts on some of the bare min of toons would be along the lines of . . . TW/ Scrapper Cold/ Defender Brute/Tank that can 90% resistance(Or get close enough) /Thermal, Pain, or Emp I kind of want to run it with the bare minimum of players, 8/12 respectively, but for the first few ones at least until toons get incarnate'd out, I figure we'd need to have some amount of debuffs, -regen and the like. What would you guys bring?

The bottom bind that I'm using makes it easier for me to just click one button and use whichever red is available, but, I see that people might want them attached to an attack, I have my combat attributes up so I usually just keep an eye on it to stay above a certain threshold

Just wanted a place to put this for myself and other Brutes who want to keep the damage rolling.
