I totally agree this can be very much the case.
<<begin rant (not directed at @Nemu)>>
Seeing what a player is using that doesn't fit some predetermined mold, that's the good stuff.
I would hope that new folks go with what they can find, or are pointed to, just as a starting point, not the destination.
We have multiple builds and respecs available for a reason.
Experiment, refine and make what is available in-game fit our play style.
That's where blappers, proc monsters, and petless masterminds come from.
It's also where some of the crazy bases come from.. friggin water slides, what?!!
If folks haven't checked out some of the player created content, might be missing out.
That fire/fire/fire build found on the internet, that's just the beginning..
<<end rant>>
Agree completely, and this is one of the reasons I made my ‘Empath Warrior’ build! The Empathy powerset just suited my character too much to skip, but at the same time I spend a lot of time solo as well as teamed and needed something that work in both.
Speaking of different builds I’m toying with coming up with using build 2 and build 3 for more specialised roles. One for a primarily team focused build, and maybe one for below lvl 30 task forces.
My ‘warrior’ build will continue to be more general purpose one though! It’s very flexible 😀

Tsk... Tsk... Tsk...
You saw 42% and you assumed that was MY build. My build is quite different.
I don't disagree on the value of softcap and the benefits of having that backed up by capped resists. But I also believe that it is getting to a point where people just blindly follow those numbers without considering any other tools available to them, and worse, they make great sacrifices or poor slotting choices in their builds to get there.
I misread the original post as one that invited feedback and hence I provided feedback. My mistake. I'll see myself out.
Even though I disagree with some of your feedback, I did consider all of it and have made a few changes already based on it (such as replacing Will Domination with Psionic Lance, plus reducing slots in Fortitude), and I’m enjoying it even more. So thank you for the feedback you gave, and I’ll be posting my revised build tomorrow! 😀

Bear in mind reputation also takes into account the more negative reactions.. so I guess it’s open to interpretation what that reputation might be for 😅

Psionic Lane with 3x Superior Vigilant Assault and 3x Sting of the Manticore gives me 2.5% extra ranged defence - enough to bring me up to 44.18% without Stealth switched on..

Didn't quote the poster because I didn't want to deal with the complaints on how to play your build. But the poster made some sense here.
I would try to get if possible (some builds based on primary and secondary are just not possible) S/L Defense capped, Range capped and S/L resistance cap if you can. That will allow you to play at a 3/8 setting solo if that is your thing.
I am looking at your endurance use vs recovery.. That is close.. if your pic up WOC those endurance numbers might not cover it. But WOC with the proc on top would help mitigate the melee range damage as well. Similar to Oppressive Gloom.
I don’t think getting soft capped S/L defence is going to be doable without really mutilating the build too much.
Having said that, WOC with the proc and the interface confusion proc does sound fun! But yes, I would be worrying about endurance a bit. There is 45s downtime without recovery aura and victory rush was there to help against that while also offering some good team support.-

Lack of clear mind does trigger me. You are the unsung hero, keeping squishies protected from mezzes so that they can do their jobs. Players will not sing you praises for this seemingly mundane action (the more astute players will appreciate you for this though), but the impact of this one single power outweighs everything else that you bring to the table for seasoned players who like you (or what you are attempting here) built their characters for high defense already. Some like me have their squishies defensively mature by level 30, but you know what I don't have access to even with all the defenses in the world at that level? - a reliable anti-mez. And when I see an emp the ONLY thing I want from them is CM, and most of them disappoint.
Have you considered that mezzed squishies aren't really contributing? Sure a fort on them helps them dodge some mezzes but when they do get mezzed and they will, far more than you or anyone that espouse the "blast more support less" mindset would care to admit, they can't contribute. For all the talk about defenders being able to contribute to the team with their damage (and buffs/debuffs), I find this thought process and execution rather selfish. You would rather get on with your own pew pews than help the blaster maximize their potential, or the toggle dependent support AT to get shut down and deprive the team of their force multiplying buffs/debuffs? It doesn't take a lot to CM someone, at the end of an engagement during the clean up phase, then those guys are good to go for the next engagement.
But it's your build, you choice. You wouldn't be the first to not use CM, and it only perpetuates people's perception of empathy's relevance today,
Thanks Nemu for your feedback - I think the issue with CM is something we are going to have disagree over! I've played in lots of different teams across all levels and while I would consider it 'handy to have' (pretty much all powers are), I just don't see it as important as you do.Firstly I find that with the amount of +defence I bring most 'squishies' (I hate this term) are actually pretty tough and don't get hit a lot in the first place. 25% Defence from Fortitude and 6% from Maneuvers means even the weakest builds are pretty hard to hit when they're with me. If you're not getting hit you're not getting mezzed, and even if you are getting mezzed you aren't getting killed since these buffs don't drop.
Most people have quite a lot of mezz resist these days due to IO set bonuses, so mezzes don't last as long as they used to, which means they are less dangerous and cause less inconvenience. So it reduces the impact of CM.People who don't have mezz protection are usally well aware of it and make use of their own abilities to counter them. The odd mezz that gets through is what Break Frees are for.
I just rarely find a situation where CM would actually make an impact, I think you're overstating your argument a bit. Even the +perception is gifted with Tactics.
I looked at all the powers I have and can't see anything I would give up for CM. I don't think that's me being 'selfish', I just think the team is supported better with my power picks going elsewhere. Its a bit ironic to call an Empath Defender selfish! 😄 I think spending a lot of my time casting CM would be a waste of time, and rather than CM my allies I would rather protect them with defence and focus my blasts/dominate on the mobs that dangerous. Thats just my opinion.Now if I could pick one more Empathy power it would actually be Resurrect not CM - now there is a power that would actually help more, because wakies are rubbish, and when people die that can really slow a group down.
1 hour ago, Nemu said:Instead of victory rush have you considered the P2W serum? They are cheap and you can save a power pick for world of confusion. You invested 15 slots into these 2.5% range defense bonuses when 5 additional slots in WOC with coercive can give you 10% recharge AND 5% range defense. In general 6 slots for 2.5% defense is terrible ROI. With those saved slots you can put some LOTG 7.5s in the defensive powers for more recharge, and toss in a kismet +acc in maneuvers as well. If you are going to go proc-heavy you need to make sure you have enough to-hit and ACC to hit, and the to hit helps with snipe damage.
Changing Victory Rush for Serum, now who is being selfish? 😄 I actually really love the impact Victory Rush has on a team, but its not something I *have* to have.
I will take a look at World of Confusion - it wasn't picked because I've never been a huge fan of the power and its another toggle to drain my endurance. I forgot about the epic set giving 5% ranged defence - will check it out! I do like Red Fortune, not just because of the 2.5% ranged defence, but it also gives 5% recharge and a bit of resist. Plus the high endurance reduction is great on Maneuvers. Since LotG only gives 2.5% extra recharge, I'm never that bothered about dropping them from certain powers that I intend to slot heavily.1 hour ago, Nemu said:Skipping the snipe is also questionable. At worst its a hard hitting attack in your arsenal, at best it's 2.5% range defense AND 7.5% global recharge with 5 piece sting of the manticore.
I could be tempted to change Will Domination for Psionic Lance, but from experience on my other Defenders the endurance cost of it can make it a bit of a pain to use constantly in an attack chain. Having said that it would be getting 6x Superior Defender's Bastion which has a hefty end redux. I'll run the numbers though... will Domination unfortunately does take a long time to activate!
1 hour ago, Nemu said:Also what settings do you solo at? Do you just shoot for 45 and 75 because that's how you play your armored ATs? What's a realistic expectation for what this build "should" handle and do you need those numbers with those expectations in mind? I can tell you if you plan to play this as a derpy lol melee AT that stands their ground, you are going to fail, miserably. The lack of combat mobility and immobilization protection already puts you at a disadvantage as a squishy AT light on other forms of mitigation. Standing your ground and relying on 45 and 75 will just put the nail in the coffin.
This is a bit rude! I fight now at x8 and still finding the sweet spot at what +level is best. It really depends on the villain group. Psionic Tornado and Telekinetic Blast are good knockdowns which keep mobs at bay, and Dominate is great for holding anything being tricky. With Regeneration Aura on and the defences posted above you can take quite a hit and keep going. Although as they say, prevention is better than cure 😉
Psyhic Wail is also an incredible opener - not only does it do massive damage with 2 damage procs, but it comes with a nice stun that gives you a bit of time to capitalise on the mayhem you create.

I'm running the last mission in Levantera's first story arc. The mission is "Defend Vanguard Base" with objectives "Find Faultline, Find Fusionette, Defeat Raid Leader."
Anyhoo, I beat up some Rikti. Eventually, I get a couple of ambush waves headed my way. Well, one of the ambush waves ran by another group of Rikti. The group of Rikti the ambush ran by became immediately hostile to the ambush, and started attacking the other Rikti.
It just kept going on like that for a minute or two, as I watched the Rikti defeat each other.
I’ve noted this a few times on those missions. Yes sometimes the Rikti who spawn in are set to be enemies to the Rikti who spawn on the map by default. -
Difficult to fix. My best guess would be to give infiltration a grace period where it stays active after you detoggle it for 1 second. That would bridge the transition when you turn off infiltration and turn on stealth.
I don’t know how easy it is to do, but that would be the only alternative.
Only other thing I can suggest is slotting sprint with the stealth IO and have that switched on while you switch from infiltration to stealth.

We don’t need a new AT, we just need defenders and corrupters to be able to pick melee sets as well as ranged.

Any updates on the travel sets? I was hoping for some changes before they went live (feedback posted earlier).

Struggling to export my build, so for now you just get a photo of it! I'll try tinker with it tomorrow and post the real thing!
(Bear in mind the defence rating is taking into account stealth's out of combat 7.5% bonus. The real ranged defence is 45% almost exactly).

Hi all, I have been working on my main's build for quite sometime now and thought I'd give it a share.
Peacemoon is Empathy/Psychic Blast Defender - a concept character who's main powers are to empower those around him (at some considerable cost to his own psyche).
The main focus of the build was:
*To be bring great buffs to a team setting.
*Able to solo well and deal as much damage as I can squeeze out - for when there is no one to buff or heal.
*To be as tough as I can make a Defender (45% ranged defence and as much resist as I can manage)
*High recharge and good endurance recovery (the latter achieved via a mixture of Recovery Aura and Victory Rush).
*To stay true to the concept of a psychic hero without any other powers (Psychic Mastery was a must).
The initial build had Force of Will instead of Concealment and Victory Rush - however I found I wasn't able to cap my ranged defence without Unleath Potential switched on, and the uptime was only 1 minute out of every 3, so it was a bit up and down (plus overcapped when on). Hard to gauge weaken resolve as an all purpose debuff - it is only noticeable when Achilles Heel -res procs, but the cast time is quite long to make it worth it.
Concealment however will allow me to open with Psychic Wail without getting aggro beforehand, gives a more permanent boost to my ranged defence (at the cost of some endurance efficiency), and allows me to grab Victory Rush, which is always lovely in teams for quality of life. Particularly at lower level. Plus it can be used to bridge the gap of recovery auras. The big negative is Infiltration unfortunately is not as speedy as Mightly Leap, however works nicely for the concept as jump felt out of character.
Recovery Aura and Regeneration Aura probably slotted more than people like - but these powers are great while solo and in a team, and the set bonuses are ❤️! When only slotted for recharge, they are also very costly to cast and has caused me problems mid-fight trying to reapply.
No Clear Mind will probably trigger a lot of people - but very rarely do I find a use for it, has no impact when solo, and at later levels you can rely on Clarion. I tend to use Fortitude on people without Mezz Protection and this helps a lot.
This is an expensive build that I've been working towards while playing him - he wasn't just born with it!
Some enhancements are deliberately set to +5 - don't attune these!
Overall I'm really happy with the build and have great fun on my Empath, whether teaming or solo. I love the big +numbers he brings to his teammates, the great blasting capabilities he has, and the all the procs that fire while you're doing the job and just the general awesomeness of being a Defender. He might not be the best for debuffing and weakening mobs, but he is a solid performer and any team he joins feels solid and durable.
I just wish I had half a dozen more slots...!!

I was talking about the value, not the duration. You said that the boosters were "pretty massive", which I took to mean that you though their value was overwhelming. If you meant that they were curve-breaking because of their duration, I misunderstood you, and apologize for my misunderstanding.
Well the photos you posted are extremely illuminating.
I think my issue with the amplifiers is it is the sort of perk that experienced players know about and make full use of, and newcomers or lest knowledgeablep players have no idea about - and by the time they do the price has shot up.
For a few thousand influence you are gaining a a very large bonus (relative to what you'd get from powers and enhancements) for a long time.
Personally I would reduce the stackable amount to 2 hours. That sort of puts a limit on how much of the buff you can get extremely cheaply.

I preferred it much better back when the objects exploded upon impact. I hate that they stay around now. Back when they exploded, it actually gave the illusion that the impact was severe. Now, it just looks like they are rubber balls bouncing off somebody and wouldn't hurt any more or less than a dodge ball.
Some of the heavy objects could use some extra weight for sure..

Why? Incarnate stuff is so easy to earn now. iXP starts awarding instantly on hitting 50, and threads drop everywhere. Plus, Vet Levels mean anyone can have an Alpha Slot power as soon as that first ding happens for Vet 1. Was there really enough problems around these TFs that their interesting unique part needed to be removed? I was always hoping for a couple more incarnate-ish-grade TFs, not to lose these two.
I think your post is more of a justification to do away with the restriction on this TF.
If everyone is getting an alpha slot so quickly then this type of restriction on participating seems redundant and adds needless complexity to the game.-

I would go Defender. +30% dmg when solo helps a lot, plus the higher numbers from leadership and bubbles.
Also Defenders get some crazy good ATOs, where you can heal and shield yourself and allies just by blasting.
Having said this, both will work well, and corrupters do get some perks. You’ll definitely do more damage whilst teamed as a corruptor, as Defenders lose their damage bonus then, and corrupters get Scourge.
-
It would be really difficult to get a 100% uptime of the FF recharge proc. The best method I’ve had is to slot it into psychic tornado and it has a chance to proc of each enemy hit, so invariably it always goes off against a big group.
In telekinetic blast though it is quite a low chance I find. Low enough to consider unslotting it.

Which is an example of how a seemingly minor change can have significant side effects. Assault Rifle is one of the most lackluster attack sets, but it had the distinction of being the only Blaster primary with a crashless nuke. All the other sets made you have to consider what you'd do to mitigate all of your toggles dropping when you used your nuke. AR, you hosed down a spawn with Full Auto, Flamethrower the survivors, then moved on to the next spawn. Now it's just another T9, and not a particularly good one, with its narrow cone and target limit.
I was going to mention this. There were some sets designed around ‘crashless nukes’ and these have been left a bit behind I feel.
If Full Auto had a higher target cap then it wouldn’t be so bad.

For now I’ve gone for Diagmagnetic as my character’s defence rating is just under soft cap, so figure this will help out more.
I might make the confuse ones with my spares later and see how I find it.

It's like someone saw Final Fantasy's skill tree....
... and said, oh, yeah, that will keep the players busy ..... what we really need to do to take up more time (because that was the goal around that time to make players grind and P2W) ... let's throw in random salvage that they can't trade or sell and don't make it related to the path that they are taking in the skill tree ...make it random drops ...
I argue that the Incarnate System is the System for gaining Incarnate/god-like buffs (the grind and complication) and not the Incarnate/god-like buffs themselves.
Therefore, if you change the Incarnate system to make it less (intentionally complex and grindy) then you are taking away the L337ism of the system. Because that is what the Incarnate system is L337ism. "I have mastered the complexity of the Incarnate system and grinded my way to goal X! Watch me roartm! ... and bow down to my L337iness. Yes. You my kiss my feet now." A method to make die-hard fans of the game that don't want to alt remain active in the game by giving them something to do that appears to extend the length of the game (ake end-game content).
It started out as City of Heroes and the Incarnate system makes it City of Gods. I'm playing to be a superhero or adventurer (and rarely a criminal) and not a god incarnate.
I'm not going to lie though. I would love to see the City of Jack Kirby Giants expansion.
I don’t think the incarnate system is that complex. I think you just start off on a bad footing because the alpha slot presents you with the incarnate shard recipes by default and it’s not obvious you can scroll down to see the incarnate thread version.
That’s why I think if you removed all the shard stuff and just stuck with threads, it would be much simpler.
Also get rid of the absurd costs of crafting the very rare components, and just stick with empyrean merits as the source for buying them. It get rid of some of the traps people fall into. -

That would explain why I wasn't sure, I rarely play blasters.
This goes for Defenders and Corrupters too. Less damage of course, but our nukes can still wipe out all the minions and leave lieutenants barely alive.
I’d say the T9 are better than judgement, because you can slot them with procs and you can bring the recharge down really far.
-
/Rad’s AoE hold is the best in the game, and it’s not even a control set. It’s worth the sacrifice of Endurance just to neutralise everything; just make sure you have a few blues for when you use it, if you find yourself below 50%.
Endurance penalties on activation are easier to manage because you know when it’s happening. Penalties on expiration of a buff are more tricky as you can lose track of when that will hit you.

Nothing can save the incarnate system.
If you do what needs to be done to fix it, it would no longer be the incarnate system. It would be replacing the $%$@#@% that is the incarnate system.
You could easily make it a lot better by getting rid of incarnate shards, and reducing the different types of common/uncommon/rare incarnate salvage, so it is more streamlined. Plus better ingame descriptions, and it would help a lot. You don't need to scrap the whole thing, I actually quite like it, but there is a bit of an info barrier for newcomers.

So here is my refined build, taking into account feedback:
Changes from last build:
Incarnates:
With all these endurance changes it makes my consumption 1.62/s and recovery 3.8/s. Recovery is helped a lot by the fact Peacemoon has 119 max endurance from sets and accolades! This includes 20% blanket endurance redux from set bonus and hybrid support.
Psionic Lance is suiting me a lot better than Will Domination - so thanks for those suggestions. Not only does it activate quicker and deal more damage, but it really helps as a SNIPE opener on something evil. Due to stealth, I can move into PBAoE range, start with a close range snipe and immediately go into my PBAoEs and AoEs.
