My AOE is Burst and Bio abilities. As I mentioned in the Pylon Soloing Thread the ST is up there. Nice part of it, I'm hitting under 2:30 pylon times with no need of Hasten (and trying to perma it) using CS > SB > BB > QB > Moonbeam > Repeat Yes, CS needs a cut in animation time. I'd say at least down to Total Focus time. It doesn't crit damage, it's crit resets Power Siphon. Lastly, while I LOVE LOVE LOVE the animation of Focused Burst, it needs work. 😞 For a ranged attack, I'm better off with Moonbeam. Could be usable as a KD, but then that's all it'd be and you might be better off with Repulsing Torrent with a KB to KD IO for a defensive attack.

I did try to keep an eye on Power Siphon buff, but after a bit I was just hitting it when it recharged. Still, would be nice if Concentrated Strike went down to the same animation time as Total Focus minimum.

So, did a run, this time, without Assault (wanted to see the difference) and managed to hit a 2:22 (hitting Ablative Carapace once) for 398, using the CSCS > MB > SB > BB > QB > SB > Repeat Now, this isn't to say Assault wouldn't make for a better DPS, however, not so sure it's worth keeping if you have another option, for either more defense or utility.

But then we can't sell them for lots!

You'll have to figure out how to make the difference between Axe and Fire Melee.

While I didn't feel CS crit that often, I did hit it every time it was recharged. As I did the runs, I did wonder if that was best idea. If it was active at the moment, I didn't figure it stacked and may be wasted. Also, I had no hasten in the build, so it was all able to be done without having to dip into that pool power, so that was nice.

So went about making a KM/Bio/Soul Scrapper on test Musculature Radial - Hybrid (Not activated) - Reactive Radial CS > MB > SB > QB > BB > SB > Repeat 3:39 (forgot to activate Genetic Contamination and Offensive Adaption) for 311.3 DPS 3:12 (forgot to activate Offensive Adaption) for 327.5 DPS 2:23 (finally remembered to activate them both) for 396 DPS SB > BB > QB > MB > SB > BB > QB > Repeat 2:28 for 387 DPS Did this because I was thinking of trying KM/BIO Scrapper. With the first one, I put Critical Strike Set in Concentrated Strike. With the second one, I put Critical Strike Set in Smashing Blow. This obviously wasn't equal to @SomeGuy who pulled off a 1:35, but I thought I'd test out a build to see how it worked out. Doesn't seem that Kinetic Melee is that low on the DPS.

For a blaster, I think you may have to pick a few different attacks, but on my DP/NIN Sentinel, I have 4 Procs (Dual Wield having the +RCH Proc in it as one of the procs), +5 ACC/DAM Gladiator's Javelin (also use it's proc, so get the 2.5% Recovery bonus) and a +5 Basic Damage IO. 286 DPS (4min 2second pylon time) on the Sentinel. I believe at 3 Damage Procs on DP/NIN Sentinel, that was a 230ish DPS. So, a pretty decent jump in DPS. I'd imagine it would help on a Blaster as well.

Has anyone done a Bio/EM Tank Pylon run? Got 1:35 on my EM/BIO Scrapper. So wondering the difference if it's a Tanker.

Took everything in Tactical on my Archery/Tactical Blaster EXCEPT ESD Arrow. Glue Arrow I use regularly with Explosive Arrow for my AOE (and of course Rain of Arrows), what I didn't take was Fist Full Of Arrows in the Primary. There is of course Oil Slick Arrow. Flash Arrow I don't use to often, but it's there for the set bonuses. Ice Arrow for when I need a hold.

From what I recall reading, the proc mechanics aren't wasted on that Proc anymore. Each on their own timer. Though, like you I attune, so when I said +5 Heal IO, was talking of just a basic IO and not another of the set (Numina). Which also, I was wondering if the resists would be better than the +10 or 12% Regen buffs.

I will say it gives me ideas. Really, I've been trying to come up with a build that didn't have Shadow Meld, but maybe I just need to come up with a concept that has it. Will say, I would think the Heal/End/Rch Numina in Integration would give more Regen if used a +5 (or even just +0) Heal IO or just a Heal/End Hami-O. Gives more +Regen as the +HP seems like a wasted bonus as you're already at cap. I'd also wonder, in terms of End Recovery, if the +End Procs are needed with Quick Recovery and Stamina, and if it wouldn't be more heals with Power Transfer's Heal Proc and it's 6% Regen Bonus.

Yes please, as I've been trying to make the unkillable Regen, that I felt did as well or better than my WP in ITF.

Have you come up with a build that shines? I know I've been working on a build that tries to focus on Recharge and Resists.

Not all my Incarnates have Barrier, but for the ones who do, it fits their concept the best 😛 But I don't think I've seen that requirement issued on HM TFs myself.

DP/NIN (No Epic) - Incendiary Ammo Dual Wield > Suppressive Fire > Executioner's Shot > Repeat No Incarnates: 6:10 (231 DPS) ... Incarnates (Radial Reactive - Assault Hybrid (Passive only) - Radial Musculature 4:02 (286 DPS) ... Dual Wield (1 DMG IO +5 - Gladiator's Javelin: ACC/DMG +5 - Gladiator's Javelin: Proc - Ice Mistral: Proc - Impeded Swiftness: Proc - Force Feedback: Proc) Suppressive Fire (1 DMG IO +5 - Gladiator's Javelin: ACC/DMG +5 - Gladiator's Javelin: Proc - Ghost Widow's Embrace: Proc - Unbreakable Restraint: Proc - Gladiator's Net: Proc) Executioner's Shot (Apoc: DMG +5 - Apoc: Proc - Gladiator's Javelin: ACC/DMG +5 - Gladiator's Javelin: Proc - Ice Mistral: Proc - Achille's Heel: Proc) ... This was all done on the test server before I made the build on live. So I can see if I'm willing to give up the Movement Enhancement of Musculature, as I didn't need the Endurance Modification Enhancement at all, that would give me a bit more damage. Not sure how often the +RCH Proc went off in Dual Wield but the math looks to say I'd be better off with it than a Damage Proc in it's place and since I had the Hasten Graphics on, I do know it went off enough to have no gap in Hasten most of the time (not always).

Is Katana that good in the damage department to be S tier? Or is it just about DA?

I had my Claws/Stone Scrapper going along fine, I would think one could do that with Savage/ as well. Numina (Full set in Rooted for me), Miracle (Proc in Health), Panacea (Proc in Health), and two EndMods (Performance Shift: EndMod & PS Proc - Power Transfer: EndMod & PT Proc) Softcapped my S/L/E/N Defense with 60% S/L Resist

I asking about this before. This is what I remember seeing 🙂

Yeah. Seen enemies running with Confront (yup, taken Confront on a Scrapper) and my taunts and taunt auras not working 😕 The worst is when they don't work on the harder targets. I could likely live with the minions running, but keep the AVs by me!

Been rolling around with an Energy/Ninja Scrapper. Feels easy to get the ET (Long) > TF > ET (Quick) > BS > Repeat easily enough 🙂

I'd love to see a set like Ice Mistral, but for the other effects. We have some for EndMod now, but a damage/healing set for those damage attacks that heal would be nice 🙂

I took Superior Invis. because I can go to end and then ATT. You would think, Group invis could do that for the group as a whole to do it, but then some players get the invis and don't get the idea. Also, took Group Invis anyways but as one of the last two powers, for the LotG slot 😛

Only use Hurricane where I feel it will do more good than just blowing enemies away. Like Posi 1 last mission at the stairs is a nice spot. I don't keep it on all the time (except on the all Storm teams, I think I did 🙂 ) The build is older (before Ice Mistral IO Set) so I haven't updated it in awhile.

I want Titan Weapons, Razor Sword for a Katana Skin!
