@Nemu That is very pretty. Why flares instead of fire blast? No rain of fire? That is definitely a melee centric build. Nice defense. Are aging touch and future pain really good enough to lean on so heavily?

Slapped this together last night. Before I go drop a billion inf on it, please oh fellow build theorists, pick a nit and give me some ideas. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1467;683;1366;HEX;| |78DA6594594F13511886CFE94CC1524ACB5E642DD2168A140A88710F5B018104297| |A65C4099D9449BA4CDA92E8A57F412F4C5CE3957AE32F7267D30BD40B4DD4C4D4AF| |F37E14E34CDA3E9DF77C5BDF39A7CBB7666A5FCDDDB924A4673AAD150AEB53F459D| |4F3CE652D656C08BABC6B7AC6D47A16B21B7A36A967B46AD2DA386A7D55CBA6F464| |346EE47564060F57125BA699CB17A3E5EC5C5E4BAF2F6B59C3DC4A6B45239715EE9| |55C2E1D8DA78DD466B1C6FA9E30753DE9815C568D6CCA6BDD2DE95A52CF17360DB3| |61D634362849CBE854ADDCE5B69F8609D17B521C5E25A710AA103155382458E5006| |B14A60AD63AC1C9814AAE2A561CC8BD0256AD823D0930B2064E51B4E47E72149A3A| |C61C07EB4E814D1360D769D04D0E2AC815CA1F6969D33483139AE2BC4E5AA72A023| |7C0E19B60EC37F2A729AA9A7B57BF562CEDD81BE65BD0F70E6C790F767D005D94E8| |92E8ED6A46EF59BA73A39E740F12622E51CB9CA1B93CBCE661AD8ED94BB5BCA825B| |DACF99871423DCF58FF00BD1B1E321F814D8F79C62760C753304E3D1B51D7D9781F| |BFD95FA24BF8AF61E2E3978961E24538D37115BA83266A66679BAD0C859456AED5F| |A9DBDF801F6FC64FE52AC2A43ADECF728F4B9F246E7DFD0B683BD12D865EE8127F6| |999F989F4195FAB6A3AFA3DD87E9FA1A99EC7B3DC574724C671C3D430BCC45709E5| |6BB7986EE33F0227C96798E791E1CB8C07C8619E6C9C75E76A37782A02A6281B420| |3FB360102E0E84C1E7D4B29F7BF57F44FFC836787287B9CBDC0387B6D1EB25DD0E7| |2DD41F67788FD7D4188F2DE8EF2DE1EE6BD1DFB6F6F8B16214678E611F6A943AD9C| |4F7A959F6A403D3C7EA5D262A4B25A8AD822476C4ACCA68CD994719BB2645356D4C| |A3F809096E2F255CE75E9A08656E5BFAB5F8F14290FD8DD00F8C516FDED4871C8BB| |F0A6EF1E18E233F1178211F2D2| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is true. But why would they want that? I'm not coming up with any cases outside of maybe final Rom's res mez where it would be needed. PvP for more mez resist?

Believing in things that aren't true is no way to go through life. Tanks got a substantial damage increase. My SR/Claws tank is now BARELY behind my near-identically built Claws/SR brute on ST damage and is ahead when in full aoe chain mode. Every other tank I've built since the recent changes, and every other tank I tested with after the changes had noticeable improvement. This isn't gaslighting. It's math.

Hi. Not SR/DM but here's my SR/Claws tank build that you can use for ideas. Incarnate softcapped to all 3 positions, easily hits capped SL damres thanks to the scaling resists. Extremely sturdy. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1484;689;1378;HEX;| |78DA8594CB4F135114C6EFB433963E9042A13C4AA1E5D596C2D0023EA08009F2884| |81304746162C88897DAD894A68311962EDD6AA21B23625CB9F07FF09FF0C5D28D1B| |1EBE125DD5D3F94EB0A10B27EDFCEEFDEEB9F7BBE7CC9D496FCF78DECE3FBC2414C| |FE59C619A6BAB46FE9E2C6A6923935D1774D54CDF9C0E9545077582185D9B911B32| |6F4A7DE57E817ACB722327B7A5D9C0A369999352A7E51E98C2B5B4B999D3570A52D| |E715BCDB95C367377AB16ED72339BCF78ACDEA2340AD4F1CD16B2EBFA6C5E16333B| |6B69C3DC92C59D16F28ED1FF829F6E4A795B25BBF05223A90A9B0F3CD308BA9AC0E| |711C157897E74898B345BE1D9CA7F66BFA0D976CCD6EC119BA5A951660CACE907CF| |C699EF883E558C938F061FA1858535D645E57340531CF1B2E614354C378D3979A7C| |E6EC44FD01A6EC46BEE43BBA5798E98C7A0F71BF33BD8F003DCA5BDD7F27AB526F6| |F692B43ACEA76E0C5AC338D89602DB27C09E49E69E6A31457BA9E7BAD5CFC1A36F9| |EB9000E5E05F7C8C76715B9A4F9DE436BFCC0FC08B67F027B3E8303FBE018F934C1| |C7D6C439F771CE11CE7592629A39A6996322A7626C54CF56CEBFD57AF27652025CC| |DC04F4475FC02C3BF997F38936166D926A88A579451902B171C44653A74E610184E| |800349E623544E25DF4EAE5C279FB8109FB8109FB8109FB829CAAC8B4F4DD7204EC| |16BF2EE65EFDE11AC1D1B659E03FBCF3387995FE0ED27EF28572A1A404E31F64CB2| |E72EC971AE543C0ECF37747474AE951EC6BCA129D462688118217E859E3C605E81E| |E24CF04AF97608F76F5F47B18534FDEE2527FD568A24A4956292355CA6895B258A9| |A4080EBB5852D99834C58A727A4FDEF3D281EBE4FB20147E0247FF344DB9868CFCC| |B60DB0AD8BDCABCCEBC011E56AE17C57AC7AE8A6FD0633C31FF13B0E529F319B8E4| |B2F66EEDED5645DBA868DFAE68FF059327E6E0| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

I went the other way with my human-only warshade. He's a chaos mage and not a warshade at all.

My fire/bio sent is fully tricked out and tends towards never dying. If yall are talking Excel for the ITF run, I'd love a spot.

As much as I love bio armor, it is very clicky and kinda high maintenance. Granted, you also get some really good benefits upping your kill speed for that extra work. But if you really want to go cruise control for groovy, I'd go with claws/willpower. WP's only click power is the Tier9. This combo allows you to focus on nothing but the destruction.

Claws is glorious. Spin doubly so.

Or just accept that every AT is unnecessary and everything can be done with anything. Play what feels good to you, make it awesome, don't be an asshole and others will enjoy your company. Scuse me while I go provide rooted feet to the face with my ma/stone brute. Or tear into an aggro caps worth of baddies with my sr/claws tank. Or just be gorram sexy as hell with the original claws/sr scrapper.

B. Ok, I've been summoned. Now what?

AE did the same thing. Whole areas of the game are now completely ignored. And I say this as a guy that took up farming AE with Homecoming and use the basepasscode macro on every alt with every port from the P2W vendor as well. But I've seen the emptiness. Been to the Hollows lately? It's eerie in a way. I don't know that any of it should be fixed. I don't know if it's broken or just different. I'm still just glad it's here again. I try to do my part by talking about the basepasscode or the LFG tab trick to bounce into zones but I don't really PUG much and those that I run with are all using the same tricks.

Superhero world problems.

I still play and greatly enjoy my fire/bio sent. Enough damage to get the job done in a decent amount of time and he never dies.

Interesting. For me, furylock was nothing but an extension or lovechild of scrapperlock. And it never worked quite as well because I always take taunt on my brutes where I NEVER take confront on my scrappers. That said... I'm fully happyfunkilltime on all my scrappers, brutes and tanks.

heh. doh. exact same slotting I do.

Hmm. Guess I cruise with more stacks.

I'd go with this. I take taunt on my tanks and my brutes because I like the power. I like an easy "save the squishy" click at my disposal. Is it necessary when you've also got taunt auras and punchvoke? No. Edit: Unless you're playing with REALLY bad players.

I just sat at max aggro at max diff to figure that one out. 🙂 And 30% is too low when the tank AT +damres and scaling damres IO are also taken into account.

The eyes also show up in the big forest map for instanced missions. I've noticed that on kill alls the marker for the last enemy shows up near the eyes instead of wherever the enemy actually ends up being.

No steadfast +3% def? Dooooooom! We have some slotting similarities. Fiery Orb in Stone Cages is MUST!

I've got a staff/bio scrapper. Or maybe she's a brute. Either way, she runs with both +dam forms and it works great.

Stalagmites... what an incredible alpha strike power. Wherever my final build ends up, getting as much recharge as possible for that one power is my main goal. I went with primal forces for conserve power and temp invulnerability so unsure on your ice questions. As for mud pots, currently on the fence with it. I suspect that I'll keep it in the end cuz moar damuge.

O.o $%^& me. You haven't even posted the builds and my brain went "why the *&^% didn't you think of that?!?!?!" Edit: I'm not sure about dumping fighting pool. That's a lot of S/L resist you're leaving behind. But I will be watching. Edit 2: And lose afterburner on my scrapper? Hrrm....

If that was the goal, then cool. Would I agree that my Claws/SR brute has 90% the survivability as my SR/Claws tank? I don't know. They're both pretty damn awesome.
