Let's not mess with Rad armor, it's perfect and wants for nothing. It's a Lightning Bolt mixed with a Polar Bear and blessed by the flying spaghetti monster!

We had a few nights of real life getting in the way of gaming but got back at it last night. We ran the rest of the hollows contacts for those sweet, sweet merits and did Julius and Talshak at +3 and ran into lots of +4s. Things went surprisingly smooth, the debuff is pretty noticeable on +4 bosses. The Hollows arcs got us 83 big ol' merits (I love the Hollows!) and level 23 at the end. After that we turned down the diff and ran through all the bank jobs (used an alt to get the missions but the alt did not participate) to get Invader and all the best temp powers that the Rouge Isles have to offer (it's really all about that team teleporter, so useful!). Level 24 now. So then we wanted to start working on Vamps for Atlas Medallion so we set to +0 x8 and did the first Moonfire mish. That got us a little over 100 Vamps as well as level 25. We left a couple patrollers as to not complete the mission and logged off and we'll start up doing that mish again tomorrow to get the rest of the Vamps. This has been a blast so far! I feel like I'm cheating cuz I'm running with a Brute so I'm not taking a ton of aggro but even when I get reckless I'm holding up pretty well, I'm impressed! We should both start getting some more AoE damage in the next few levels so I look forward to cranking up the qty on missions. This is what the build looks like so far:

I like it! One slot for one power that's still subject to ED doesn't seem overpowered or unbalancing. Vet level 100 is achievable but certainly not a simple task. Even if one were to farm it the whole way, that's a hellova lotta of farming! I think the effort required to get would keep the reward balanced.

Just a couple days ago, my buddy and I were talking about how we wish there were higher level arcs like those in the Hollows (Faultline is pretty similar). Where all the contacts and missions are in the same zone and they flow very nicely into one another to tell a coherent story. I'd love to see Galaxy fill that role in the 30-45 range! Though I hope the Echo is left as is, I start all my new toons there. The size of the zone may be an issue if nothing is changed, it's a pretty small zone.

Holy smokes! Yeah, that hardly seems fair!

Sadly, his armor is a hand-me-down from his big sister. Times is tough in Paragon City!

No, it was a new toon I just started, I was 15 at the time.

I did a Posi 1 last night on a low level Electric/Electric Sentinel. At the end, my clone had Lightning Field active. For Sentinels that is a power in an epic pool that I can't select until level 41 at the earliest. Another poster suggested that it may be using Electric Armor from another AT.

Oh yes! That would explain it! My clone felt like it had more resist than it should have so maybe it was using the tank set.

Well, I got the new Electric/Electric Sent started last night and my buddy started his new Ice/Bio Brute. We started street sweeping in Galaxy up to lvl 6. From there we usually hit the Hollows but we were enjoying the street sweeping so we shot over to Perez till we hit level 12. Then we did Posi 1, just at +1 and I think that got us to 15 and it was a cakewalk, we probably should have bumped it up +2. Then it was time to "Rescue the Mystic", easy peezy! Then we did the first Hollows arc through the crystal at +2 and ended the night at 17. Very early on I struggled with end but that went away pretty fast with Energize at lvl 10 and a Panacea proc. The first 7 power picks were 3 attacks, 3 shields and a heal so it felt very well rounded by level 10/11. Since I'm running with a Brute I'm pretty safe in melee and I'm trying to play it more like a scrapper. It's working great so far, though there were a few times I managed to pull aggro off the brute! Energize saved my ass, gotta get a few more slots in there asap! So far it's been great fun! It feels plenty sturdy and it seems like I'm doing damage comparable to a scrapper at this level. P.S. My clone at the end of Posi already had Lightning Field! I can't get that till 41 at the earliest, wassupwitdat???? Sensory Overlord

I wish I could give this one million thumbs ups! This drives me insane!!

Hmmm, okay that will make "unleveling" a bit challenging. Maybe at each "level down" you'd still have to go to a trainer and select the slots to be removed and the enhancers are returned to your tray.

This would be awesome and a feature that I have often wanted and would certainly use! This is a great idea too! Though if you're a fully IO'd 50 and you roll back 10 levels, it may get tricky in regards to slots. I guess it would probably leave the slots in place and grey them out and remove those set bonuses as if they hadn't been placed yet. Or perhaps it just removes the slots and returns the enhancers to your tray. I don't know, that would need some thought but I like the idea! Ideally both of these could be implemented so you have a path to both a temporary level reduction and a permanent level reduction. Best of both worlds!

I want corny old school ghosts that look like the classic guy under a sheet with eye holes but it's a little see-through. Bats are cool too, but I'd like to see more than 2 bats on screen. Make it a big ol swirling ball of bats and a big-arse bat buddy or something. Also, a swarm of bat-sized flying unicorns!

Okay, I think I'll be starting an Electric x3 in a couple days. I took some inspiration from Black_Assassins build and adjusted it to a leveling build. This is the first draft. Any advise? Sentinel (Electrical Blast - Electric Armor - Electric Mastery) pre50 v1.0.mbd

I put tons of hours into Borderlands 3 and I was constantly having to rebuild my characters to keep up with nerfs in the name of balance. It's what ultimately made me stop playing. Every time I fired up the game I had to research what had been nerfed and come up with a new build before I could actually play the game. It just became a chore...

This sounds fun! I want a Triangle of Doom! 🤣

Thank you all for the suggestions! I think I'm leaning toward Elec/Bio/something or Elec x3. I have an Elec x3 Blaster that I love so that sounds like fun!

That's the dream buddy! I know there are tech limitations that prevent it but, jeez, that would be so awesome!!!

Greetings Sentinel masters! So many folks really seem to love their Sentinels but unfortunately that wasn't my experience. I only have 1 Sent, Electric/Regen and I wasn't all that impressed with its performance. The lower target caps and lower damage but faster recharging nukes felt awful to me and the inherent debuff was pretty meh too. I took Regen because I hear Sents got the best version of Regen but after playing a Regen Sent and a Regen Scrap to 50 what I learned is that I simply don't enjoy playing regen. Now that may very well have tainted my outlook of Sents overall so I want to give them another chance. To that end, if I wanted to make a Sent that was guaranteed fun and effective as it's played up, what would you suggest? It doesn't need to be the best damage or the tankiest but rather the combo that is most likely to make it click for me, the most likely to make me say "oh okay this is where Sents shine, I get it!" I typically duo with a buddy 1-50 on story arcs and TFs so I'm looking for combos where you don't have to wait to 50 for them to blossom. It's certainly possible that Sents just aren't my jam but I gotta try at least one more before I give up on them. What do you think?

You can right click and press "E" to sell a stack at a vendor. You can also delete a stack of something from your inventory page by right clicking and pressing "S".

Okay, not that I didn't trust Championess but I had to see it with my own eyes and the Champ was absolutely correct. PB has no affect on the 3% Def uniques.

As I understand it, the 3% def IOs will not change with Power Boost. It's all the other Defense (coming from powers or defense IOs, but not the uniques) in your build that is being increased with Power Boost. I was about to post the above but realized I haven't actually tested this. After work I'll use an alt build and only put the 3% IOs in and see if Power Boost gets me any higher than 6%. Now ya got me curious!

Tried this last night and it works! All these years and I never knew, I love that there are still things to discover in a game I've played for nearly 20 years! Fun topic, thanks!
