I had a Sonic/Sonic back on live when the sets were first released (before Thermal existed). Although Liquefy recently got a buff, there haven't been a whole lot of changes to Sonic Resonance since it was introduced. Other than refreshing the shields every 4 minutes, firing Liquefy whenever it's up and hitting hard targets with Sonic Siphon, there isn't much for you to do other than blast away. Kinetics is a much more active primary.

A few questions about 'Trollers with no innate heals.
Uun replied to Soulsifter's topic in Controller
Enflame isn't a buff, it's a damage aura. It's a toggle with a 60s duration that can be placed on an ally (including one of your Imps) or a foe. Spirit Ward is a toggle absorb buff that can be placed on an ally (including one of your Imps). I have several controllers without any self healing, including Gravity/Storm and Illusion/Poison. Foes that are mezzed can't attack you. You should be relying on Flashfire and Bonfire. -
I'm leveling one, but only lvl 38 at the moment. I put together the attached build, but a number of the sets are placeholders. Much of it hasn't been slotted yet and will need to be tweaked depending on how sturdy it feels fully built. Will also need to move some slots to improve endurance, as I'm currently having issues outside of Efficient Adaptation. Still working out the timing on DNA Siphon, as it's easy to end up dead while it's animating if you wait too long to use it. I originally slotted the Cupid set in Axe Cyclone as a goof and intended to replace it later, but the confuse proc fires a ton and I may keep it. Uuncut - Brute (Battle Axe - Bio Armor).mbd

6 of the 14 scrapper secondaries have taunt auras (Bio, Energy, Invulnerability, Radiation, Shield, Willpower).

There's a pretty wide variation in arc and radius for melee cones and PBAoEs. Gauntlet simply gave tanks a 50% buff to whatever those are (with some powers specifically excluded).

Hey I Know!! How about turning the Beta servers back on.

Typically happens when a new issue/page is about to drop. -
Clarification on Notoriety : for a newish player.
Uun replied to JMacClear's topic in General Discussion
Inspirations drop rapidly and unless you use them constantly, the small ones will fill your tray and prevent you from getting mediums and larges. -

Uun replied to JMacClear's topic in General Discussion
Another way to change the quality of your drops is to disable lower tiers of recipes/inspirations at the START vendor. I typically disable small inspiration drops at around lvl 30 (you don't get enough medium/large inspirations until then). I don't bother disabling common recipe drops as the inventory doesn't fill as quickly and it's easy enough to vendor those. -
Gravity Control / Kinetics - Didn't want to hijack the thread below.
Uun replied to Grizlee's topic in Controller
Wormhole is one of my favorite powers in the game. It doesn't require line of sight and it doesn't cause aggro. While it can simply be used to stun foes in place (by setting the exit point on top of the pickup point), it can also be used to teleport spawns around corners or through walls without aggroing those nearby. -
Gravity Control / Kinetics - Didn't want to hijack the thread below.
Uun replied to Grizlee's topic in Controller
Basically looks solid. Swap the Kismet def/end and def/end/rech in Maneuvers for LOTG def and def/end. Will depend on your playstyle, but consider adding slots to Wormhole. Consider Spiritual Radial instead of Agility Core. You lose the end mod and defense, but you pick up healing, stun, slow and tohit. Yes, Singularity can be teleported. I've had Teleport Target previously on my Grav trollers but don't currently have it. If you go that route, slot a kb>kd in Singularity. -
Storm Blast isn't a great set for procs. Both Storm Cell and Cat 5 summon pseudo pets (which proc poorly). Chain Lightning is a chain (which procs poorly). Gust has too short a recharge. What you're left with are Hailstones, Jet Stream, Direct Strike and Cloudburst, 3 of which are ST and 1 is a cone.
-
Not sure I follow what you're suggesting. Would Hasten a) be a power that's always on, uses no endurance and requires no recharge slotting (don't think it could be slotted for anything); or b) would activate automatically if it was recharged but otherwise would still require recharge slotting and have an endurance cost.

Which Archetype is best for Energy Melee / Electric Armor?
Uun replied to Liability's topic in Archetypes
Brutes and tanks get a 90% resist cap while scrappers and stalkers get 75%. For resist-based armors like Electric you'll get better results with brutes and tanks. Tanks have an easier time hitting the resist cap, but it can be done on brutes as well. Note, Electric has no Tx resists and limited Ne resists, so you're have to address those elsewhere. Brutes have superior ST damage than tanks. Tanks are superior to brutes in AoE damage due to the arc, radius and target cap buffs they get from Gauntlet. That said, Energy Melee is primarily a ST set and only has 1 PBAoE attack and 1 cone attack. -
I've recently changed alignment on quite a few of my 50s and the tip pops up once I've completed some activity red side. Also the Window of Opportunity tip unlocking Lastri Kaymanis.

You've got the yellow dot turned on in Focused Accuracy, which activates the %BU proc. You want to deactivate that in Mid's to get a better picture of your global accuracy. Also keep in mind that FA won't be available below lvl 42, which would be a concern if you intend to exemp. Since you're 6-slotting Gaussian's (including the %BU proc), you would be better served with Tactics, since the proc has a chance to fire for everyone affected by it. Transfusion requires a tohit check. You have enough global accuracy with FA up, but you won't below lvl 42. I typically slot Transfusion with Touch of the Nictus. Propel and Wormhole need kb>kd IOs. You skip the Steadfast Protection and Gladiator's Armor +def uniques. Both of these can be slotted in Increase Density or Tough.

Rather than chasing toxic resist, slot Healing Flames for healing. Fully slotted it's a 925 hp heal every 20s. You've only got 4 pts of kb protection. That's not enough on a tank. Fire Sword and Incinerate aren't great places to slot procs due to the short base recharge. Slotting for recharge reduces your proc chances. I would rework those powers. On the other hand, Fire Sword Circle is a good choice for procs and you could add another there. Not sure why you're slotting Build Up for end red instead of recharge. Attaching my build for reference. Uunferno - Tanker (Fiery Aura).mbd

War Mace/Willpower Brute, thoughts and suggestions please
Uun replied to Speed Freak's topic in Brute
I've had a WM/WP brute for several years, and while it's fun, WP has a number of weaknesses that become prominent as you get into higher levels. Largest among these is the lack of end drain or -recovery protection. Despite its ample +recovery, foes like Mu Adepts can easily sap you dry and drop your toggles. You may want to consider taking Ageless over Barrier. WP also has very little protection against -def or -regen. Monitoring your defense and regen is a must. The build looks largely fine, although my personal preference would be to increase the E/N resists. Attaching my build for comparison. You've only got 3 ST attacks. Try it out and see how it feels, but you may want to reconsider skipping Jawbreaker (which also provides good mitigation). Enhancing the -tohit in RTTC doesn't have great returns (base is 3.75% and you're only adding 0.6%) and procs have a low chance to fire in toggles. I would 6-slot Preventative Medicine for the set bonuses. Slotting Superior Conditioning doesn't have great returns. The 4 pieces of Efficacy Adapter increase your max end by a total of about 4%. I would redeploy those slots. Focused Accuracy has a hefty endurance cost and requires end reduction. You get a lot more mileage adding enhancements to Quick Recovery (+30% recovery) than Physical Protection (+12.5% recovery). Uunflappable - Brute (War Mace).mbd -
Changing this would solve a lot of problems. Brotherly Love badge in Drowning in Blood trial has a 30s window. Cathedral of Pain trial has a 35s window for taking down the 3 resonators.

If you're going to go back a day later and edit your original post to change all the powers, it's bad form to call out people's comments to the original post. You were pretty sloppy about it, as now the short names and descriptions don't match the longer ones.

This is for a dominator, not a controller.

I typically open with Cold Snap or Ice Slick.

I've got a Nature/Seismic which I enjoy a lot. Regarding the Seismic Shockwaves mechanic, the power I usually spend it on is Stalagmite. It does a ton of damage when they're active. The other power I spend it on is Rock Shards, but that's primarily a radius/arc increase. Also keep in mind that the Seismic Shockwaves mechanic reduces the recharge of all your Seismic Blast powers whether or not they're active. Add more resist to Wild Growth. Consider taking Corrosive Enzymes over Lifegiving Spores. Although Corrosive Enzymes is ST, it provides a hefty debuff vs. hard targets and doesn't require more than 1-2 slots. On the other hand, I find Lifegiving Spores to be skippable. Upthrust does knockdown not knockback and doesn't require kb>kd. Optimal slotting for Entangling Aura is 2-3 end/hold IOs. Slot Overgrowth for recharge and move the %bu proc to Seismic Force. Add recharge to Soul Drain. It won't affect your proc chances. Uungnome - Defender (Nature Affinity).mbd

Charged Armor is identical in both epics other than the level available and whether it requires a prerequisite. There are slight differences in Power Sink (radius and end drain).

can we please get some balancing for melee power sets
Uun replied to BigBam's topic in General Discussion
Asking for melee cones/AoEs to have the same radii and target caps as ranged cones/AoEs is nonsensical. That isn't a balance issue, it's simply the design of the ATs.
