Wow, this is a lot to take in. Let me first say thank you all so much for taking the time for me 🙂 . There's a lot of good information here.
Thank you kindly! It's an honour to serve.
This sounds more like a benefit - being able to destabilize a potential competitor simply by ignoring him? Seems like a path to promotion...
And yes she does 😄 . (Like, she was totally cool with my level 14 ass helping a Fortunata conspire against here, that is surprisingly chill.)
I didn't know that there were so many different spider bots I could get though, it does seem a bit of a shame to break up the set...
I like the personality your breakdown shows, by the way.
On the advice:
This actually sounds like a really good idea for figuring out some of the more complex mechanics, I should get the Beta client.
Thank you for explaining this, because that was a trap I was primed to walk into face first!
Sorry for the confusion, I should've checked I was using the right terminology. Worked out well though because while I just meant the Leadership Tertiary Pool and its Arachnos Soldier equivalent, that included Tactics, which is apparently not worth stacking.
I'll see if I can make room for Vengeance and Victory Rush. Hopefully my time as a Defender will help me stay aware enough to use them. I like panic buttons and making my friends better - why I'm after Leadership stacking in the first place. But, if Assault isn't really worth it and Tactics definitely isn't, that's a few slots I can free up for other things.
Interesting. I wasn't sure if the redraw stuff actually took time or if it was all fluid like SWTOR. Good to know for all my builds.
After reading all the different summaries, I think I'm going to focus on Crab powers. They seem fun. I'll miss Pummel - the disorient saved me many times during leveling but hopefully I won't need that anymore and right now I'm pulling out a rifle just to smack people with it, which while amusing, seems inefficient.
I'll have to see how many I can fit in, but @Omega-202 thank you, your breakdown of the AoEs was very informative. I'll make sure to get Venom Grenade though.
The general consensus seems to be to skip the Travel Power and I'm okay with that. I can get my Sorcery Flair back with Soul Mastery 🙂 .
Its interesting seeing the disagreement on the Armours and CT:Def, I guess for now I'll just take two of them and see if I wind up having a spare slot. Though I certainly like the idea of auto resist for now I'll go with CT:Def because...
This is one Enhancement concept I do understand thanks to the Warshade. I wasn't planning on it but now that I know I can it's certainly tempting, even if sacrificing three powers is a big tradeoff. As I may have alluded to earlier, I like pets 🙂 . Two quick questions though
In the sample build you gave (thank you very much by the way, it's helpful to have something to compare to, I just didn't want to ask too much), you had these for slotting Luck of the Gambler.
1) If I remember correctly my Warshade build used Combat Jumping, are there any other options worth considering?
2) You have two different Luck of the Gamblers slotted into Weave. If I need 5, and there's one in TT:Maneuvers, Maneuvers, CT:D, and Stealth, couldn't one of those be dropped if two can fit in Weave? Or more if we just put multiple in the one's I'm already getting?
In general though, to everyone, thank you very much for the advice on Enhancements, like I said, they're the biggest hole in my knowledge and this will really help me figure out something workable. I'm going to poke around the AH like @Six Six suggested, but I'll make sure to slot some End enhancements into my attacks, but that does raise a question.
Is there a golden ratio for damage to accuracy to endurance to secondary effect Enhancements when it comes to attacks?
I've been keeping Pummel slotted for Disorient because of the previously mentioned life saving, and other than that just mixing Damage and Accuracy but once I'm not just slotting whatever I mugged someone for, I'm not sure how much of each is a good idea, or even how many slots most attacks want.
Thank you all again, so much! You have been very helpful.
For the Glory of Arachnos!
