Bill Z Bubba

Excepting a few powers like infrigidate, I max out at two with the purple proc and some other proc in the 6th slot since I rarely care about the psi and toxic resistance. I've tried a procmonster build and didn't care for 'em. Granted, I only gave it a real shot with claws.

Just tryin to get to the real root of the issue. People love what they decide to love and hate what they decide to hate. The damage loss caused by scattering spawns doesn't actually matter at all when you don't care about getting every last second shaved off your time but some folks still go all "lookit how that bitch eats her crackers" and I'm curious as to why. I suspect it boils down to a case of "hey, it was fun for me to get these guys where I wanted them and you pissed on my fun." Just as "hey, I love watching them fly and that's why I play this nrg/storm corruptor and quite frankly I'm sick of all yall bitchin about it and shunning me for it."

What can I say, man? My damage output is more important to me than your joy at seeing the baddies gettin tossed around the battlefield. As the reverse is obviously true.

/jranger 🙂

Cuz the massive damage buff just. Wasn't. ENOUGH!!!!! That's a problem with it but it's just one more bugged power/problem with procs on a huge list of them.

Gotta at least get T3 alpha musc, yea? And let's not forget I'll have to see what kind of pylon time she ends up with. As for the time, there was a lot of idle time since setting swipe to auto doesn't target a new enemy. So she'd be standing there doing nothing while I was on the other computer reading/watching something else. Kept having to remember to hit tab/follow. Just goes to show how much has changed since the old days. Pretty sure OG BZB spent 4 months getting to 50 and that was during one of my early vacations where I was playing up to 16 hours a day.

ALLL THE JIGGLES!!!!

Ding 50. 100% solo street hunting and radio missions, swipe only, claws/inv scrapper. Markus the pedestrian says 60 hours. Edit: yea, yea, I know... how do you kill that which has no life?

Using Unreal 5 and making sure we have jiggle physics.

Or go bio armor. Having evolving armor and genetic contamination would speed things up considerably... but that almost feels cheaty. Pondering it... a brawl/bio brute would be amusing. Especially if you take fighting pool for the buffs to brawl.

As I continue this insanity, some thoughts for those that may choose to go down a similar path. 1: Don't do this. 2: No, really, don't subject yourself to this kind of madness. 3: If you're still dead set on it, if you're going to use an attack that can crit, go scrapper. If you're going to do it with brawl, go brute, since brawl does NOT crit. (C'mon, devs, it's a one line of code fix....Edit: Ok, more than one line since it needs to be fixed for other ATs like Corruptors as well.) 4: Choose Energy Aura for Entropic Shield and its +recharge. See 5. 5: Get as much +recharge into the build as possible. You may not think that .05 less recharge on your one attack will matter but you are wrong to think it. Over the time it's going to take you to get to 50, the extra damage over time will become huge. I'll probably finish this up tomorrow as I'm currently at 48.6 and then I am going to respec her, but I'm going to leave her as a swipe only character. Cuz why not? If I want a proper claws/inv scrapper, I can always PL another one.

Hypocrisy is ugly.

I run a fire/bio and I've been very happy with it damage-wise, and I don't dip into psi mastery nor do I overly proc out my attacks. Just hover above the masses, blasting them into oblivion in offensive mode in complete and total safety. But that's not your goal. Your goal will involve psi mastery for mind probe and a proced out dominate, (and probably 2 or 3 other proc bomb attacks,) with bio armor in offensive mode and a hatred of your end bar. Apparently primary doesn't matter.

Let's discuss willful ignorance and how it has been a complete plague on our species ever since we came down from the trees.

Much less so than it use to be thanks to being able to toggle on fly without hover detoggling.

new build. .51sec recharge on swipe.

Ran a fighting/shield brute for quite a while until I got bored with it. Boxing, Kick and Cross Punch work just fine as a stand-alone attack chain. But.... I love this attack as well and don't take it nearly as often as I'd like. Nothin like doublepunchin another flyer to the ground.

1 clear all radio in PI = 1 lvl = 2 hrs. Ding 44. Only 12 hours to go!

yea... but how many are doing without faceplanting or chugging insps? Agreed, actually. Being fire/bio does help gloss over things. I'm on an ice/sr sent right now in an ITF.... low damage is noticeable. Course... she was also 36 going in.

This is all true for a sentinel that fights in melee range but as soon as it goes into hover mode, its durability skyrockets as the amount if incoming damage plummets. Its damage output, of course, never catches up to its melee cousins.

It's still the complete lack of faceplanting that I enjoy the most. Especially when all around me I see dirt-eating blasters. Helps that I'm running fire/bio on the damage side, of course.

I tend to avoid FA like the plague. The end cost is just too damn high. I've found in most situations I'm fine with the kismet +tohit unique and extra acc from 4 slotting LotG. But I play a lot of claws, so tons of +tohit from double/triple stacking followup. On characters without that, I'll go tactics since I probably have maneuvers and assault already.

Just sucks that having an attack on auto doesn't grab next target like clicking the attack does. It would at least make the swipe/inv ride to 50 somewhat less painful/annoying/boring. I don't need an I Win button. I AM an I Win button.

It'd be so nice if we could set macros to auto...

Not that I know of but it *SHOULD* be.
