I took a peek and really can't see what I would do different that is meaningful. Personally if I changed anything it is a niggling thing. I'd put Adjusted Targeting ToHit and ToHit EndRedux into Tactics. It's a tad more endo for a tad more +to hit% and 2% damage buff/all. What incarnate are you planning to run, if I may ask? Can I just say I love that you asked for a peek when you are so very often the one offering advice. I appreciate the humbleness.

That's what I did. It went into a bit of a update loop (update now or wait till later? - hit update, it does it's thing, then asks again when you reopen Mids). That went on for a day. It has now (as of yesterday morning) stopped doing that, and is working normally - whatever that is for Mids 😄. As a side rant Hasten STILL only shows 1 slot as boosting recharge in the calculation.

I grouped with a few folks who had the Pyro set. It looked cool, and most importantly FUN. ( That damn altitis!!! >:| ) Another W.I.P. with theme and goal in mind. I want to be a Mobs worst enemy. No giving (to them) just taketh away(ing?) with a few team tools because I share like that.

Fashion is ALWAYS on topic 🙂 Thanks for the "heads" up! My head "look" is to keep with the heavy "Troller" kinda theme. I like the mask as opposed to the monster head look.

I threw together a quick build. This is 100% a W.I.P. but we have to start somewhere, yeah? My initial thoughts going in. I needed a damage type other than Psi as it's resisted a bunch. I wanted a way to move about the battlefield quickly and efficiently. I wanted to take the cookie cutter and break it. I mean, just snap it, melt it down and stomp on it. Experimentation has entered the chat. . . Electricity Master sees an open door and enters the chat. I've made 12 in a short time, so far, Toxic dart has made me wonder why I've never used it. It's fast, it's dot takes a little getting acclimated to, but it works really well with T.K. blast. HIt 'em with the dart, knock 'em back, hit 'em with mutagen ( a toxic dot, yay! ) and move to the next mob, which I can put to sleep with Will Domination. By that time the first two powers are off cool-down. It's been a lot of fun. Kinda like a Beefy controller. I can't wait until my AOE's come online. Jaunting in, Psychic Wail and jaunting out is going to make me smile. A lot. Electric Mastery will lock down groups so they stay in the AOE goodness. It also gives me a good heal, which furthers my path towards a Battle 'Troller. The questions I have nagging me? Endurance. I'm not certain how that will play out. On the plus side, I can turn off toggles as needed. On the negative side, those toggles are kinda there for a reason. We'll see. EDIT: I changed the heal proc in lightning field to the +end proc. Sorry for that confusion. EDIT part Deux! I forgot to mention stealth. Like, properly stealthy.

It's nice to see at least a little confirmation on what I arrived at in regards to Atom Smasher on my tanker. I've been very happy with how it performs even if my Brutish (sic) counterparts are a bit faster 🙂 I'm just a tanker at heart. One thing I do that I don't see when I join FF teams is the KD in Mud Pots. I find it helpful in teams with a mix up "helpers". I give just that little bit of time for them to heal through spikes, unwanted aggro or general spats of over confidence. I taunt often too, for the same reasons. When I solo I run two identical tankers. I've been raising a Kin to see if my old bottom can run three at once but really, I likely won't ever do that 😄 If anyone is at all interested: Crystal Cristal - Fire Farmer Final - Tanker (Stone Armor - Radiation Melee).mbd

Been faffing about with this as well. I don't mind jousting, in fact I get to use my new favoritest (sic) thing. Speed of Sound (with it's lovely teleport bound to mouse button 5) coupled with combat jumping. It's hard to squeeze in two movement sets, but they work so well together on an in your face build. and allow for amazing mobility. Thematically it's a great Psi/Mage ( think Necromonger from the Riddick franchise)

I have a knockback / knockback to knockdown in my Farm tankers mud pots. It works a charm. I would imagine it would be as good on a Dom.

Mids being sneaky nasty. Apologies, and thank you. :)

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. The Maco's are not procs, I'm generally not much with proc bombing. They are there to get my baked in accuracy, damage, end rdx and recharge at or near max. I'll echo your sentiment in regards to Hasten. It seems unnecessary, and frankly having more global would likely make the endurance managing a real bummer 🙂 I'm liking weaken a lot. I haven't been able to play today as my schedule can be chaotic, at times. Hope to see you on Excel some time, I would love to pick your brains. Looking at your heroes, we have absolutely grouped before. 🙂

No, and I agree that they should have been removed as they were not germain to the thread. Thank you for that.

Thank you for the reply. I was actually responding in my own thread with an update to my build. It included mids, and several screenshots. I've never encountered issues posting builds and the explanations before, however if certain phrases trigger a hold, it would make sense. It may be that I'm so loquacious I'm viewed as spam 🙂 Again, thank you for the reply.

I reported a post, and now I am in a nanny state, where-by MY posts need approval. A system is only as good as it's enforcers. If a person using the correct method is, themselves punitively admonished, it seems disingenuous, at best. The multi-million dollar website I help moderate ( since 2009 ) has weekly meetings about policy and policing. All actions taken are reviewed. I hope, that is the case here as this makes little sense to me.

Golden Edge - Excelsior I started playing this morning. It's been a very fun build so far. I have made quite a few changes as I've leveled up ( made 19 solo, then joined a DFB for the badges 🙂 Made 20 with that fine team. ) The new build looks like this: Golden Edge - Scrapper (Dual Blades - Willpower - Dark).mbd I'm still in the air about Typhoon's Edge. I had a full set of Attuned Overwhelming Forces attuned in storage so am using that. I like the knock down so put it in, for now, as permanent. I lose out on a significant about of fire/cold res and def. The Def is not really an issue. The res is kinda a big deal. The Melee Def is a BIG deal. I just don't know. For now the choice is easy as I couldn't slot the superior avalanche set until 50 anyway. At 20 I look like this: Final Build tentatively is this: |MBD;25691;1662;2216;BASE64;| |G1pkERWcThAtDmxjS5NNpI1SwRSuk0Ofn5xelpbMslJEkyM/oCrDFtGbqpVVe1B/brq| |kzV8PuNZ4zSwtGiTl+5etlTr5TeMUdjrgpMTXZtHp6gtuuFgFp55YfrSWJk5GyArHu1| |X/wtbY7u3shVEVSCHsQUDl3gV0SUgAEKa6SgA6lKI7amdUgGVd4/5V38vWZOkOLY71s| |kMNGEZpSHG0hViREil6eivgPFt67fn0my4caBD8kpbz7nY67hyQQuptcYj2AnuM9TCl| |ifNkdrmfwpFBqtx3eQZYu711776oa8h5Mhp/pYiOBJS+hvRZUCNJveZBDG8EvY6EV1U| |UdMLzk132NN9P3+HHA/rCBrec8YeVrfNSXwU9jVx4igFNOrMZDc2MVPJYgTdW6Oe6xG| |2xwURm6LaOcvqCHmDJY5mjEdt65Yacui4s8RjMRC9ZjLc2Osmidkdr7oSDPrGtx/oM0| |i5P65C6RbSrAf9iidDfD++NWlJ/com6lOzt9PB1IATfRmJvQQg+sVUbNnbGYSf/Ma/8| |l+zHyeq8Udn7TGSTbb9+p+UTha8F2sD0m7U3Zu0s8TpDtmJHq4OlK8iPmxSgEUM6WwY| |fbJg//869bIj0wcAzyMXRkKmDV33DL9T0PNlfXUV8XV/olVuw+URQIYytxlJh5Jh6b3| |t5eAK1CLnlndRub0cOaaOxliWZu8FFByY3xnNhHUXsrUXpqfYI5DvSB70p5EDw/MSjS| |VcpjwTE4QFlEcevd7PjZFzqMyH5nJ6lvTLFgg8UV+7Ui5C6Tp94cATVJDXqSM5VKGF3| |lbtNONI1GDX4jJ05KTuDUpBohGIIrVnX6ugCPgGf0/GZbo5GwuTg32KGTVgY+CueBG0| |VVM0Rqc1Xh9p37uQrsz+aeUVQIXjQlgxDfpgV8KElK/29DjprUdHWiufovvyP4Nc2j2| |USipaigzgl+masFZrdMWNuGTIM2cEkAF6NShYSxRZ5EC47yrXZf5iHDslzWRqXGJMjp| |zEVWmSTIfiwYJdBRiD9cEnAD7bR/dCK4dRwOxYhbAx9CWeRyYMFKKnPpgllkCFBho1j| |46UNLrvUoljt/EkYCOb/Wd2V1rGKGTSr1l4oRmPijJUsASaeZtdMVCSmdlFCVAvNSDb| |frrv6RZw5C169VrbWhAqqmQOUfD2yaBJ/x38nlD3Z/j08c6EyBQRgmw+ecZUsJQHgEo| |MHGtEaoejNXvJMuOwol7VlXuugqG4aMWbvsj+qMRFO0Gu7LMScxuTHlq4c2UbTZCOKO| |w9E0yzGTilEdCjX4UuTzjKCCsEbQIbhy4KKYIpMAZPIEKojbI4jQRa1wkUW4SDj5jKU| |qBX6YKTo3ziCeQQVgoeADMO7BwQjz/QGo2h07RPdhfQ1iqehI5TGv9vyjkDWxBtkTbx| |B1sQbTJap6Zq/dST6Eo5knqevH3Lsp9aE0IfXL2T9o6IcNyu68UBUUxHkn3VzEYb1lc| |oDg1tnwl36OLfdxcQpc7i6Fuj4zl8YmrAh2MHqXxwqEAByZTabCDYJZBgy4VLgXCqcr| |CbjSxZnhW5vOu6I8p4mE5x5dDgJnpNRUk3zkW5xQWALCJa7FFEiyvz6BWrVZTYDODxX| |Ibbt2nDnHpK7j3oPLpl83nc7fRGyQl5La1ZIf/OpMbaYYDIIuc0oQ5YMfwDbcqVcJAy| |YZRZydsCUKECD0GyGIHwQfHuh/595V7cvaxnpuJ+yf0RTFvlYXRVeXdUAmyUIBzwntJ| |lr03I3LCtfzklL3dVg6V0VMeTFtHLB+zCM71BdVWyJpKPjeT+QUS3ym3uBOP4cC7MUN| |P3Gvljam9NGMWKe5Z1/CbeZ3/Wil8JfG3q1ri+6lcarlaDM4ZcldZrRjVal1CicdWUw| |pE0xchmyUjQgClZ56jVkNUJnIpMjo5K65NAh++DZG7GSfHdmGrINve5naHVrHx2oVDf| |c56d6MEvvBJSxdE2QLMpZojsBrLC4dq2nBdtGMktG49ungwnf7EeuaiblAWfuGgUHnL| |RKDCkuv9zNmovePUAel0rI3ZmE2khbpCe6l5mNI4ZGsn4RinQVg5x67jLeaEfFvw9Pb| |7fQvjSTVR8PkOPmXWMhtLbhb6RTyGxqfvtFN5ytJi/GTEyGC/+Erd3QAfSQXGBdXSAD| |1v9yOnwXk/GKlpui8nakd4Vu/WrpicbXB99oV60HAZ1iYRtGEHVC3Z64/rNLomcXM/V| |xat0B|

Is this a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to tankers being prime farmers now? Seems so. In order to get them that way they are niche in that they would be "ok" on teams but not optimal. Too much "grass is greener (meaner)" meddling because of a vocal minority is the downfall of many MMO's. Regardless of this being a "free" game, it still relies on fan support to operate. Alienate them and you are now the caretaker of an MMO grave plot. I'd hate to see something I've rejoined after a long hiatus die the death of a thousand cuts. Sometimes, near enough is good enough.

I've yet to give Dual Blades a go on any AT. It seems like an interesting set to play so here we are. I over-baked the defenses a bit with the understanding I'll lose a bit of Stealths contribution when I am attacking. I chose not to take haste, which is always a tough choice for me, but I feel like I have enough in the way of attack options to cover that. And therein lies my question, am I trying to include too much? I'm not familiar with the combos, and finishers. I'm certain those with experience with this power set can enlighten me. I did peruse the forums a bit, as well as reddit. Still, I'm never one to rest on my laurels 🙂 Any knowledge is greatly appreciated.

I ran with a Black Scorpion team last night. I think they were apprehensive when I dove right into the mix and went mondo wacko. Soon though, I was getting questions about the build. I hope they find this. It really is a very odd way to play a blaster. All the tools it brings is impressive. I even like the catastrophic consequences when I overstep my bounds. I haven't gone down yet, but it's been very, very close a few times. Gets the blood pumping, ya know? I was only 34 while they were all higher 30's - 40's. 50/50 SO's to Attuned enhancements.

I'll pop my current favorite Hero to play. It was described as a "blapper on crack with wasabi up it's bum". Allllrighty then 🙂 It's an absolute blast ( pun very much intended 😛 ) to play. As you'll see, it's got range, AOE and Melee in a nice little package of gimme all yer HP and NRG fool! Can I just say I love me some mud?

An interesting facet to playing marine is the dual nature of most of the basic skills. It takes getting used to using your heal as a debuff, but you should. When integrated into your rotation you start to unlock it's true potential. Both water based sets require a bit of situational awareness ( ok, ALL sets do if you're playing right ) of both your targets and your teams. It is necessarily a "busy" set because of this. Personally, I love it. I like the hectic, rushed feel of certain sets and this no exception. I love knockdowns, I love Hybrids ( damage/heal/support ) AOE's for life, yo. Yep that's the life for me.

Had the pleasure of sitting while Crystal did her thing. The HP bar never moves. She's all in Attuned Enhancements still as well! Kinda nutty. She duos with what looks like another tanker built just like her. Clear times weren't fast, but not slow, really either. Did well enough I've copied this build.

My personal 2 Solo Blasters ( with my builds, not perfect, but it's what I have to share ) Energy/Martial Combat - It feels like the typical comic ranged power user. Things flying everywhere, amazing graphical satisfaction along with audio and then the up close "to tha moon!" melee ability. Add in pretty useful secondary powers and this can be built to deal it and ( within reason ) take it. Miss Golden Age - Blaster (Energy Blast - Martial Combat).mbd Electrical/Earth Manipulation - A VERY different way to play, but very good. Teams well and solo's well. On live I was a died in the wool Stone user ( Melee and Armor ) as a tanker primary. This scratches that itch, feels familiar and has the tools to be safe. Lock downs, knock downs and sapping. What's not to love? Thematically you could choose crystal - tint it ice colors and change the mud bath to a frozen tundra white/light blue.

Found this and like it quite well. I made a very small adjustment to it. Focused accuracy now has 2 slots ( Adj. Targeting ToHit/Endo and ToHit/Endo/Recharge I put the third slot into weave and filled it with Kismet accuracy +6%. Overall accuracy went from 6.43% to 12.43% and EndDrain went up ever so slightly. (1.66/s to 1.7/s) 🙂 Thanks for the build!

So yes then, there is knockback involved, conditional or not. Not from this posting. Don't appreciate the implication I'm lying. I'd dig up the post(s) where you gave that slotting but honestly, kinda done with you.

I like both. They are single target -def attacks. I like having them up as soon as I switch targets, at least one is good to go and my rotation is seamless. I am typing this after watching entire missions worth of enemies fly backwards, almost comically. The comment that it does knockdown instead of knockback is simply untrue. I am in game as I type this doing the frostfire mission solo and am knocking people into the next room, seemingly. Inex is a set mule with an absorb chance. DNA - this is cracking me up a little 🙂 I took that slotting from you 😉 Para - I really am still looking for ways to get some slots in there. I want to use the -dam aspect, but in reality it's only 1 source and not a great one compared to other needs/power choices. It's just a slight bump in health and endo, not much more to say really. I try to use it just after build up, if needed, when my chance to hit is @99% ( mobs @+3) I might rob Peter to pay Paul ( the power above ) with this suggestion. I'll see what I can do. Thanks Uun.

I'll throw my build for Saint-Exmin ( love the cult classic movie! ) just for a different take. Don't let the 121 global fool you, this thing is an absolute blender. Saint-Exmin - Brute (Battle Axe - Bio Armor).mbd
