oohh good call- it would make sense to double down on a resistance based set. Ill roll up the rad/ss version, give it a spin then

The mo durable version is legendary no doubt (already build it out as a saves preset infact =p) I was wondering about the zero defense version that @Tsuko came up with, but instead of rad/ss it was invuln/ss

Is there a INV/SS version of this concept?? 😃

Here is my slotting for cross punch, all proc'd out. Double stacking rage helps the to-hit I have 3 different builds, one is with procs for dmg/one for exemping/one for pure tanking but usually my cross punch stays slotted the same

Power creep has gotten so high that most t9 powers arnt in tune with set bonuses/incarnates anymore, but good on you for making it work for your play through! Most players avoid or mule those powers, but in the early days they might have seen some use

If you wanna take your inv/ss to the next level, consider soul mastery (gloom/obli) and cross punch, all procc'd out or Handclap (for rage crash mitigation)

What's the attack chain for this build? @DreadShinobi im suuuuuuuper curious

Not to highjack the thread here, but what's your opinion on sav melee/dark armor? the building skill displayed here is eye opening, and curious what I can do to improve or jsut scrap it and reroll

Ok, decided to make a base line here to share from the research I did. Really wanted to play with the tool box DA has to offer, in exchange for a bit of defenses This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.4.7 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

As the title suggests, word on the street is Kat/DA works well together. A resistance set paired with Divine Avalanche and low end cost primary, I would think DA auras can help Kats single target dmg. Inspiration came from a samurai (Kenjutsu, Fear or presence on the battle field) so soul mastery for petrifying gaze, maybe dark wave attack for some ranged (also, opens up more winter sets), and combat teleport cause "Nani..?!" moments =p Also, how practical is the presence pool for scrappers? Any build advice or examples to start from would be super awesome!

CC baby, woot! 😃

Heres my combat teleport macro set up. Pick and choose your power and plug it in. Mind you, I have a corsair gaming mouse with buttons on the side MOUSE 4 and 5 so those are for quick access ------------------------------------------------------Teleport------------------------------------------------ /bind lshift+lbutton powexec_name Teleport /bind lshift+lbutton powexec_name Combat Teleport (( this is my main mobility teleport in general. Click a point in space and poof there)) /bind lshift+lbutton "powexec_name Teleport$$local *BAMF*" /bind BUTTON4 "powexec_name Combat Teleport$$powexec_location target Combat Teleport" (( this is my main one for combat^)) /macro BAMF "powexec_name Combat Teleport$$powexec_location target Combat Teleport" /macro Recall "tell $target, I'm about to move you to my location.$$powexecname Teleport Target" -Hold Right Mouse, then Left click aiming center of screen for max distance teleport- /bind mousechord+lshift powexeclocation camera:max teleport /bind mousechord powexeclocation camera:max Combat Teleport /bind mousechord "$$powexec_toggleon Fly$$+forward" /bind mousechord "$$powexec_toggleon Speed of Sound$$powexeclocation camera:max Jaunt" /bind lctrl+lbutton powexec_name Spring Attack /bind lalt+lbutton powexec_name Team Teleport /bind lctrl+lbutton powexec_name Teleport 3) Using the numberpad, select a Teammate by ordered number and teleport to them: [[ /bind numpad2 "team_select 2$$powexec_location target Teleport" ]] The example above is teammate #2. Set up a bind for each teammate 1 through 8. The tricky part about this is that it requires two clicks, one to select the target, and one to teleport. Just quickly double-click the key to get over there instantly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

invuln/ss is my vote

Ive been generic'd quite a few times, and solution I found was to have a costume for when out in public, and any favs you want for when your in a mission Kinda like keeping a secret identity, cant wear the copywrite in public, only when with guild members or have an OC costume when visiting atlas/pocket d keep the name ambiguous or a spin off, and you should be fine Here's my colossus; I dont show it off in AP lol GM's will get you
