I recommend you take a look at Temporal Manipulation and Martial Combat. I think either of these 2 work. And would work well with a weapon primary.

 

I was under the impression Time was more of an in close, pbaoe ranged secondary? Do either lend themselves to a ranged/hover based build?

All blaster secondaries have sustains now that take care of end problems. /TA is not the only set that can do so.

 

On synergy beam rifle or assault rifle mesh better with TA since they have nothing in their kit that requires you to get close to the enemy. Powers feel "meaty" because they do knockback/down, and assault rifle does a lot more of that than beam rifle.

 

 

 

I was hoping you would respond, not gonna lie lol. As I've been combing the forums, your name and posts have come up multiple times and lend themselves to sound reasoning and logic (from my perspective). Is there another secondary that you would recommend that is in the realm of /TA functionally, but maybe does a better job of offering recovery/recharge/speed? Upshot being nerfed down to 15% recharge and agility being removed and rolled into Gymnastics (and nerfed), feels like it was potentially taken a bit to far down. Devices has the stealth component, and Martial appears to be the best recharge wise...

Hey All-

Just coming back to CoX after being away for a really long time (well before shutdown). I've got a 50 Spines/Fire Brute level'd and decently outfitted, 100 mil build roughly, that I am now looking for my 'do it all' main character, as in can handle most content mainly solo but also plays well in teams, on the higher end of diffuculty (+3/4, x8). Back in the day I ran a SS/WP brute that was fully built (purple IOs and all), and a AR/Kin Corruptor, and want to try to Blaster side of things (and play blueside).

 

What I really enjoy about WP is the lack of concern about maintaining the blue bar (I loathe running out of endurance and dropping toggles), and I've read /TA is the set for that on the blaster side of things. I also really want to run a soft-capped ranged hover build, and I also understand /TA has built in faster movement speed. Unfortunately, it seems /TA has been recently nerfed, and since then, it doesn't appear there's been much talk on it (that, or my search-fu is failing me).

 

I'm not opposed to any suggestions, but I've been leaning towards /TA obviously (for the reasons specified above), and been eye'ing Beam Rifle and Dual Pistols for primaries (I like guns, lol). However, I like powersets that 'feel' meaty, akin to SS or Stone Melee, or Energy Blast, etc. I've tried Archery, and Water.. and they just don't give you that feedback, that 'oomph', they just feel soft.

 

Ideally, the build would run Hover, Concealment (or some form of stealth, in favor of Hasten/Speed), Leadership and Fighting (the latter 2 I understand are necessary to reach ranged def cap).

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!
