Sapphire Lotus

I am returning to the game, I enjoy farming and still do it, but its not as good as it was. assumed there was nerfs at some point. I have never played the market nor done anything like it, how hard is it to get into? is there a guide on what to do? Is it incredibly tedious?

I reformatted my PC a while back after playing on HC and recently downloaded this new launcher and followed the guide. I get to the server selection and when I click it hangs and eventually gives me a "Can't connect to DBserver" error, unable to fix it?

I see two different Lodestar builds, on the first page its a FA/PSI and on third its a FA/EM, is this an error in naming or just an oversight? 🙂

So I have a max level SR/SS Brute and fought some Devouring Earth in the Maria Jenkins arc with my GF, I am max capped for Defense, I am literally getting get by everything, is there something with DE that just shreds SR?

Thanks guys for the tips. Its been a struggle, I got to 50 last night and finished slotting out all but the Web Envelope power (farming on my Fire/Rad brute to get the inf to buy the Gravitational Anchor set) As Redlynne said, I am going for a Buff bot route with my bots.

Started a MM recently got it up to 49, pets die like way to easy. Stiff breeze... dead.. Have them on follow and defensive doesnt seem to be helping in the slightest. Is there a way to make them not die when something looks at them? I spend more time in combat resummoning then they do attacking, its maddening.

I too am interested in this.

Can we get an import link for the build? Id like to view in Mids :)

Running into an issue. Have 2 accounts for PLing, main account has my full T4 Spines/Fire and is able to 49 fire farm, however my SS/Fire on my alternate account, even when set to Earn XP and Double while exemplared still pulls in only 89,713 per boss Level Minion LT Boss 50 10,251 29,048 89,713 49 14,523 37,592 115,346 TLDR; Spines/Fire on main account earns 115,346; SS/Fire on secondary account earns 89,713 = same settings. How do I fix?

So there are multiple cursor colors, but when I installed it. Green was chosen for me, no issue with green, just wondering how I can cycle between them or choose them as a preference. disregard, I am apparently dumb. It would seem the cursor changes color based on the con of the enemy

my girlfriend loves the Energy/Rad sentinel. Thanks for the build btw. Why specifically have you might have talked yourself into Eng/Rad? is there something good?

Guys and gals, you are all amazing. I was asleep when this window opened. I am so happy to be back in the city.

While not a Brute build, I did build a Scrapper using these sets perhaps you could use most of this as a guide.

Fantastic work! Im curious what would you suggest for a Energy/Radiation in terms of a build? trying to help out the girlfriend with her first character and Im not very versed if at all on building a sentinel.

Glad I could help! Do me a favor and let me know how you like it and if there could be improvements, ive been tweaking it on Justin, but I just dont have the time that I used to. :)
