this is a great thread, thank you. My WS is 40. I was wondering for a fresh 50 who will need to work up to some of thie harder to get IO's, what would you suggest as a more hey i just hot 50 build? Quasar has a purple armageddon set Dark Detonation has ragnarok Shadow Blast has apocalypse Sunless mire has sup[erior essence transfer Unchained kheldian grace Grav well has superior blitering cold I get these are the end game goal IO's but they are super expensive and unless you have your own farm toon your not hitting 50 and just buying them, Can you suggest what sets to get at 50 to start while you work up to these? Thank you

Im getting a data error when i try to load the .mxd file?

any updates to these builds?

Do you have a current build for water/rad? I cannot find a good one.

Can you share your build?

I was hoping for some build help with water/ rad/? I took psi for now but I am flexible on that spot. I see there is alot opf potential here but need help to harnass it.

I have been looking at various builds and wanted some feedback on this? http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1500&c=691&a=1382&f=HEX&dc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hank you for any help making it better

Thank you for the solid response, and yes I see what your saying about the IO sets with the bow attacks. Yeah thermal may not have been the best choice, I think /dark may have been a better option with melee pets but its 50 now so im stuck with it, lol.

For Ninja I am not taking any of the bow attacks, I would prefer to take attacks when I take an epic or patron pool. Can you smoke as a mule for the auras or anything good? I am hoping with proper IO sets I can keep them alive with /thermal.

It was for thematic reasons but if the other set is that much more powerful I can switch.

Lets see them PG!

With Ninja/ Thermal, Redlynne, I have been looking at how Dixa does /thermal, would you change the way you slot Ninja if you had paired it with /thermal? I am trying to find a viable build to work for now at 50. Thank you

I think your right about Dixa /thermal I will check it out. I will try to find the Ninja build you spoke of as well. Thank you

It's a mix. You need 275% recharge which is, conveniently, the same as perma-Hasten. So with that in mind you're looking at 95% from enhancements in the powers, 70% from Hasten and 20% form superior Conditioning. That leaves 90% you need from IOs. Getting 90% from IOs is easy if you've got the Inf. Five 10% bonuses and 4 LotG Globals gets you to 80% easily (if expensively). The last 10% can be picked up easily enough with a couple of Positron's Blast sets. Doing it without Purple sets is a lot harder since you have to pick up a lot more 7.5%, 6.25% and 5% bonuses. It varies a lot depending on the enemy groups. In general the Disruptors and Patron Pet are tough enough to manage against regular enemies. The Spiderlings have a lower survival rate but they also recharge a lot faster so assuming you've got perma-pets on the other two you can afford to re-summong the Spiderlings early if necessary. It can also be worth slotting the Pet Defense auras to stack with your defense to help keep them alive. Additionally once you Incarnate your destiny power is good for keeping them alive with either Barrier or Rebirth. For a crabbermind what incarnets do you suggest I take for each of the slots?

Why leviathan mastery over mace? Pre purples, what sets would you slot in place of the purple sets as a starter? They could take a while.

Hey as a precursor to this which will be expensive and take me some time to achieve, which sets would you suggest for deceive, arcane bolt, spectral terror, thunder clap, water spout, lightning storm? I dont know too man fresh 50 who can get anywhere near those for a while. Thank you

I'm not a fan of hurricane either so this might be good for me

Is this a current build? I have a 43 I'll/storm and I just can't get into storm so I was thinking of retooling to rad. I would like to be able to solo efficiently as well, can I do that with this build?

Nobody has this? I think I may need to take fire epic for the bonfire KB to KD io trick for some control. This set has none and although not 50 and no io sets yet even with the 2 shields the pets all being melee is painful. No holds or control to mitigate.

Working on probably my last MM combo. I have only beasts left but no interest at all so this will probably do it but I have no idea how to build it. All the pets go into melee so I was hoping with thermal I could keep them alive. If anyone has a build for it I would appreciate the share. Thank you

I had gotten to 43 as my 1st character and then stopped playing it. I would like to revisit her but I really need a good build to repec into and work towards. I was not enjoying the /storm aspect of it but I am sure I am just not built right as many ppl say if you use a KB to KD io here and there it really changes things and the set itself is a good damage set. If anyone has a mids/pines build they can share I would appreciate it.

Of course it is.. My build basically works as such. Trip mine, Provoke and just continue to drop trip mines at your feet. Bots stay behind you. @ TheAdjustor - I'm sorry but no clue what your saying. Your build is short in positional defense cap. The number is 45%. Pine is showing 41 melee, 40 range, 43 AoE. Further you should check your config settings as they are wrong and misleading you in some of your numbers EG resistance values. You are not maxed resistance. You are set for PVP as well. You also killed the recharge rate by 10 seconds. I am currently at 30 and picked up provoke. 38 defense cap with generic IOs no sets. Provoke is working extremely well. I think I am running 4/0 atm. Will up the team size first and see where I tank then up the mob levels Holy crap your back! Welcome back dude! Yeah I am slowly building towards your build. Some of the IO take some time to get but i'm getting there. I was wondering if you have any other builds you can share? I have a thugs/ cold, merc/TA also. For some reason finding a good Thugs/ cold big has been difficult.

For thugs I am not taking any attacks, and I will slot the 6 auras into GW, or maybe 4 auras and 2 recharge to make it more available as its just super cool With this build do I need 3 from leadership or just maneuvers/tactics? Do I need to take the aid other, self, field medic from medicine or no? I prefer fly, but would i be better off with ss and should I take CJ for defense IO?

Not trying to hijack this thread, but would the same choices of powers/slotting and IO sets here work for thugs/cold? I have mine at 50 and needs to be respec into a build to build towards. I have no real issues on the thugs choice side, but /cold has me confused. Thank you

Actually you changed alot of the sets. Ok it will give me something to work towards, alot of purple stuff, that will take some time but thank you again
