This is where I'm at in life. I do have an extra 175 emp merits sitting around on my non-farm account, but still...

On my non farm characters, can't keep up with Incarnate threads - by vet level 17, I just don't have enough to finish some. Is there a good way to get this fast? (Do I just need to run DA stuff? Rerun heather townsend in Oro?) Feels wrong to break down Emp merits into them ...

Don't see a need to Gaussian in tactics if you are running solo, especially on petless mind. Also, blue fireballs fit any concept.

Procs dont scourge cors need more sets/bonuses to get to caps means less room for procs thats Where the problem come from.

The interesting thing about poison is.. you don’t really ever get to see it do anything. It just does it. that being said, proc out your poison trap, don’t take paralytic poison unless you’re proccing it out as well. Personally I use FF to get poison trap up more often to proc more. Yum yum

Not even sure if this is a bug or a setting issue - but the lightning at night in AP will turn my Backpack silver. Not sure if it's just the way the colors are or if it's a setting.. It even gets whiter than the middle (which looks kinda blueish). Is it cuz of that shininess to it? Since the rest of the green stays, well, green.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to add a layer of AoE visibility to cones and pbaoes /target aoes that show what area the cone hit when you used it Something like the below as a user-only view... similar to Wild Star or FF14. 😛

I noticed the Captain in there, but didn't know it was for DA. Took me to heather, so thank you 🙂

My crab is at 48% Melee/Ranged/AoE and 60% resist all but still can take a beating. Watching the combat attrib, seems to be from Def Debuffs. I guess my question is Ageless with debuff protection the way to go? I thought maybe the regen would be helpful from Rebirth (and it is), but not sure if the debuff protection would be more valuable in tankiness? I guess I could go Support Hybrid too instead of Assault for 8% more def?

Here's no initial contact it seems? Do you have to go through all the Nightward quests first or something?

1. You'll probably keep it to that just because you won't have slots 2. Yes 3. No 4. No, not at all. 5. Not sure how these are related. I usually skip Assault on corruptors. 6. Kinda both? Depends on how you want to play. If you team, you can lean more towards recharge. If you solo, more towards a defense. I usually cap defense and then build towards recharge.

I have a seriously cool tanker with SJ - she’s based on fighting game characters and names Ccombo Breaker. It’s so thematically great. That being said, I like secondaries that just work. I still think SR is the best you can get, but obviously EA is strong. i have a Rad/ SR, Ice/Bio, and Psi/Rad stalker, all fully maxed out. The bio can survive well but it is the only one that has died (to Psi damage). The/SR is basically god mode; and the Rad HP can move but like 85% health is probably the lowest it’s been... It is negligible. All have soft capped melee. Most sets are built similar, just depends on 1. The end recovery you want 2. The damage you want from it.

And good news! They have the same animation -_-;

Did you know Pain can get perma World of Pain, that gives 11.25% Resist all - not too much beneath the 15% from Thermal. And Anguishing Cry is a pbaoe with a stronger defense debuff/wider aoe than the targeted Melt armor (which also has a 30 second longer recharge)? My point is - Pain is better than Thermal. So I would consider Pain or Elec. And that depends on how you want to play more than anything. If you're more into using your guns and being involved, I'd go pain. If you wanna spam the secondary like a little rabbit going at it, then go Elec. They're both good sets. Really depends on how you want to play it, more than anything. From how >I< would end up playing Merc, I'd go with Elec. (I'm not saying Thermal is bad; they're fairly similar. But what Thermal brings (-500% regen) is really cheap to get from P2W. vendor...)

This is troo. Even my Pain only cares about keeping Painbringer on somebody - and usually just the little slacker whose end doesnt want to stay high. Ignore the rest of that "team" stuff XD

WHERE do you hear that storm gets a bad press? It hasn't gotten bad press since the invention(hehe) of the KB>KD IO. FF just adds to it. Widely WIDELY considered to be one of the best DPS secondaries/primaries for controller/defender, good with Cor (but typically considered better on def), and Good for DPS-focused MM (though lacking pet-survivability).

Fair warning:

Personally I'm fine with it. I severely dislike the power that is put into defender (with Best Healing, Best Debuffs, Best Buffs, etc). I know people like the "but its their primary!" but yeah, it encompasses too much. I still think (and it's not popular opinion) that CORs should have 25% stronger debuffs.

That is pretty interesting, considering the other ones are all 25% stronger on Defenders (Clear mind variants). Even sonic is is 6.92 (cor, cont) to 8.65 (def). OOpsie. Time to nerf Cor/Cont FF Dispersion to 6.92.

I'm pretty sure Faraday can be used while mezzed. Think i've had that happen before, similar to a breakfree. Confirm or deny.

Just want to say, I am absolutely okay at being 40%+ for defenses, assuming you team - as almost everyone runs Maneuvers.

Can't have it all - Endurance/Defense/Recharge/Procs all go against each other in builds, so you have to pick which you want, especially with doms who have only their Epic for defense. Energy defense is more useful than cold, hence the change to scorpion in the build above -- it improves your survivability a lot more than cold defense. I usualy go Psi (because I hate Psi) but also because you get a 5%+ all from a perma Mind Link. That being said, best of luck to you and your builds 🙂

Perma Hasten, Perma AM; Irradiate, AB, EMP/Bomb will clear a spawn. 1s off perma Soul Drain. Dark Consumption to refill after EMP should give you enough time to drop the crash.

If you want to play a game that endurance is a non issue, go with cold. world end hunger solved
