    @00Troy00 - sorry, i seem to have missed your post. But I have EA and Time robots, both are quite strong.

     

    But it really depends what you want to do, there are lots of good options. Electric is my favorite, but Forcefield, Time, and Traps are popular choices. I have heard good things about thermal, nature, and dark as well, but I have never played those.

     

    My favorite setup is 3 boxing 3 robot MMs - 1 Electric, 1 Time, and 1 Kinetic.

    I’ve been trying to find a reason to play /electric. The bot pairing seems great. Are you able to post the bots/elec build with text? I don’t have mids. 😕 I’m a Mac player 

    Ice/ice, ice/ice or ice/ice?

    If you were dying a lot on an ice tanker you're doing something wrong, like trying to fire farm.

    As for which combo is best, it really depends on how you want to play, because each combo is going to play very differently.

     

    As for ice control being bad, it's not, it's just weak on damage, so maybe a dominator would do better than a controller for some play styles

    I definitely didn’t have my ice tank IO’d out. I should put more influence into him.

    I’m curious what Ice/ice AT is the best, or most fun. I like to play solo and team. Basically an all content toon. I played a ice/ice tank to 50. I loved how easy it was to hold aggro but hated how many times I face planted. I hear ice/ice corruptors are pretty solid. I wish ice control was better. But maybe it’s playable as a dom? 

    Is ninja training any good?

    I love my fire/ninja. It's probably my highest damaging character when it comes to ST damage. DreadShinobi listed most of the salient points. It's also worth noting you can slot an Achilles' Heel directly in Sting of the Wasp, so you get access to both -RES procs natively. The damage output of Blaze Sting Golden Blaze Sting Blazing Bolt is enormous (700+ DPS).

     

    Note, this is building for damage with maximum procs and giving no damn about defenses. The standard approach of chasing defense set bonuses and slotting full sets probably doesn't work as well for /ninja as it does for many other secondaries, because /ninja gets so many proc options and so much out of procs.

     

    Finally, there is something I expect to get fixed eventually but that is nice in the meantime: the endurance cost of katana attacks was not bumped when they doubled their recharge and increased their damage accordingly. You are getting very, very good DPE on Sting and GD.

     

    Well... For starters, you forgot to pick Fire/* for your Elec/Ninja. 🙂

     

    There is Fire Blasters and then there is everyone else. Fire Blast is broken on any AT that isn't Sentinels.

    I suspect you'd find your Elec/Ninja closer to an Elec/Atomic or Elec/Elec, if you built them all roughly the same way.

    Thanks for this.  I’ve been trying to do more unorthodox builds lately. I really like procs and going with high damage or lockdowns instead of chasing defense caps that I don’t reach until I’m already bored of the toon anyway.

    More importantly, how is the build up toggle that does critical damage? 
     

    i have a character concept that is a heavy mercenary type character and want to run AR/ninja/mace or weapon mastery. The Rambo thread inspired me, but I already have a TA blaster. But in any case,  I assume this isn’t a very good combo. Since ar sucks with the small cones and long cast times. I was thinking maybe the crit Chance can help make up for some of the damage loss. Who knows. I was also thinking of running archery for a taskmaster type dude or fire and make it look like I have wrist blasters or something. I just want to make the ninja training set work somehow.
