In addition to Battle Axe, Stone Melee and War Mace are quite good for knockdown. The key to using end drain effectively is to maintain -recovery on your targets after you drain them. For Electric Blast, this means Short Circuit (100% for 10s), Tesla Cage (100% for 8s) and Thunderous Blast (100% for 20s). [The Shock mechanic gives your other attacks 40% for 5s and Power Sink has a 30% chance of 100% for 4s.]

An Illusion controller is very much NOT all about procs.

There are badges you can get from the Safeguard missions you get after completing several radio missions.

What kind of controller(s) and defender(s) did you test? Both primary and secondary matter significantly. Do they have -res, -def or -regen? Do they have damage buffs? Praefectus Castorum have defense against S/L/F/C/E/N attacks but none against Psi or Toxic attacks. They also have mezz protection, which impacts a controller's ability to establish containment.

Spectral Wounds, after the heal back, does the same damage as every other controller T1 attack except Lift and Levitate. It gets full containment damage, it just doesn't get it on the damage that heals back. More importantly, the heal-back isn't effected by enhancements. Slotted for ED max damage, while the base and containment damage increase from 80.75 to 154.45, the heal-back stays at 19.57. SW happens to have a short activation time, giving it solid DPA of 102.18 slotted for ED max damage, after heal-back and including Containment. Weaken Resolve, while accepting 3 %dmg procs, has a long activation time. If all 3 procs go off, DPA is only 95.92, still lower than SW. Slotted for ED max damage and including containment, DPA is 61.66 for Project Will and 64.55 for Power Blast.

Flash Arrow is autohit in PVE.

Keep in mind that the bomb phase occurs in the beginning of the event before the Rikti start zoning in.

If I'm upgrading a character and removing a set from a power, I'll drop the removed enhancements in my base rather than selling them if they're something a future character might need. I generally limit this to uniques and pricier enhancements. I'll also do this if I end up with something useful in the course of converting. For the most part though, all my characters self fund and just buy stuff as needed.

The distinguishing characteristic of the pets you list vs. those you don't (Animate Stone, Jack Frost, Singularity, Tri-Cannon and Reverberant) is that they're squishier. If you don't have a secondary that allows you to buff/heal your pets, they die a lot. Other than that, the change I'd like to see for Gremlins and Imps is to eliminate the -1 level shift.

For 30s at a time with a 60s recharge. For me, the decision between Fly and Mystic Flight has nothing to do with Afterburner vs. Translocation. It has to do with whether I want Rune of Protection on that character.

Not true. Their stats are identical. It's only Afterburner that makes Fly faster. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pool.flight.fly&at=defender https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pool.sorcery.mystic_flight&at=defender

Please read what I said in its entirety rather than quoting pieces out of context: "While I'm not a fan of Hover or Air Superiority, I think both are fine as is and don't need to be changed or replaced. "

Works fine for me. From the Mid's menu, select Build Sharing/Import Data Chunk and paste into the window.

The Flight Pool was tweaked in i27p2 when Evasive Maneuvers was added and Afterburner was made a sub-power of Fly. While I'm not a fan of Hover or Air Superiority, I think both are fine as is and don't need to be changed or replaced. My suggestion for Group Fly would be to move the prompt to disable it from Null the Gull to the Options Window. It could work like the option requiring a prompt for teleports.

I'm surprised the clones have picked up Marine already. Usually it takes a while for the clones to use the new sets. A couple years back my Rad Melee/Rad Armor scrapper faced a clone that was Rad Blast/Rad Emission.

It was changed pretty recently (i27p3). It's particularly nice if you have one of the stalker primaries with a PBAoE attack, as you get the (50% chance) stealth crit out of Hide.

The immobilize can't do anything if it misses, so accuracy increases your chances of hitting the target. You still need sufficient magnitude for the immobilize to effect the target: mag 2 for minions, mag 3 for lieutenants, mag 4 for bosses and AVs, mag 7 for elite bosses. As stated above, the ST immobilize is mag 4 and the AoE immobilize is mag 3 (without Domination).

I agree that SR is pretty much set and forget. Another option would be Willpower. The only clicks are the T9 (which is kind of "meh") and the rez. Of the two, SR is the better armor.

Immobilize enhancements increase the duration of the immobilize effect, not its magnitude. Base duration (without Domination) for both Ring of Fire and Fire Cages is 22 seconds, so added duration isn't that useful. If you're going to 1-slot the power, you're better off slotting accuracy. This especially applies to Fire Cages, which has a 10% accuracy penalty (Ring of Fire has a 20% accuracy bonus).

Transfusion needs accuracy. I don't see the point in your slotting. Instead of %heal procs, just enhance the power for healing - it's one of the strongest heals in the game. Slotting it for end mod is a waste. Also, the Panacea proc should be in an active power like Health, otherwise it's only going off when you use Transfusion. You'll get much better results if you just slot 6x Touch of the Nictus. Devoting 6 slots to Weaken Resolve seems like a waste. It's a pretty weak debuff. This is a good place to slot an Achilles' Heel -res proc. Also, you've got the Analyze Weakness %tohit proc in Weaken Resolve toggled on, which is inflating your tohit stats by 11%. In Maneuvers, replace the Kismet end/rech with Kismet or LOTG def/end. Siphon Speed needs more accuracy and should be slotted for recharge. 1 acc IO and 1-2 recharge IOs is what you want. Replace the Aegis psi resist in Increase Density with the Gladiator's Armor +def unique. Speed Boost should be slotted with 1 end mod IO. The Celerity +stealth should be slotted in Sprint. (Does it do anything in Speed Boost?) Gravity Distortion should have 6 slots. I would replace Lockdown with Will of the Controller. This power should be taken much sooner than lvl 26 if you ever intend to exemp. Gravity Distortion Field should have 6 slots and needs more accuracy (the power has a 20% acc penalty). In Singularity, replace acc/rech with acc/dmg. Transference needs more accuracy. The Performance Shifter %end proc is pointless. The power will fill you endurance bar completely on its own. The %heal proc isn't really useful either. Fulcrum Shift needs accuracy. Slot 1 acc IO and 2 rech IOs. You won't need Conserve Power with Transference. Drop it for Temp Invulnerability.

No, it was the opposite. Cone enhancements increased the cone's radius, not its arc. Range enhancements now have the same effect. See patch note from I5 (8/31/2005) below. Cone Enhancements removed from the game. Increased Range Enhancements now have the same effect on Cone powers. The difference between Cone enhancement and Range enhancement was confusing. Now one Enhancement works to increase the reach of all powers. There has never been an enhancement that increased the arc of a cone or the radius of an AoE. The only thing that does this is Gauntlet (tanker inherent).

I skipped the T9 on my recent /Nin and went with Unleash Potential and Ageless Radial instead. I wouldn't bother with Acrobatics or the additional -kb IOs. Although Bo Ryaku only provides mag 5 kb protection, it also has kb resistance. I don't recall kb ever being an issue.

While Poison Trap's debuffs are autohit (the initial hold is not), procs require a tohit check even in autohit powers. As a result, you need accuracy slotted if you want the procs to hit. My preferred slotting is 5x Unbreakable Constraint or Gladiator's Net (including the proc) plus an additional proc in the 6th slot. This maxes out the recharge and hold duration, provides some good set bonuses, and allows me to use PT more frequently.

If you want the buff from the Numina proc up all the time, it needs to go in a power you're using at least once every 120s. If you get your global recharge up to the point where Chrono Shift recharges in 120s or less, then leaving the proc there won't hurt you. (Ideally you want Chrono Shift perma, which requires recharge of 90s or less.) In the case of Transfusion, recharge isn't an issue. The question is do you use Transfusion at least once every 120s? I don't on my Kins.

This is how it used to work before it was revamped in 2007. Moment of Glory was originally a power which prevented all regeneration, took away almost all Hit Points, made the character immune to healing, and lasted for 195 seconds. After that, the buff of the power faded, leaving you with little health and no regeneration for a short while. Crey Paragon Protectors and a few other foes still have this version.
