I remember arcana talking up SR tank on live because of the scaling resist combined with tank modifiers and HP. And that was prior to the io that can add extra scaling resist. Haven't tried myself though as tank isn't my cup of tea.
It's a pseudo-pet. Found this out asking Pine why my Avalanche Knockdown proc in burn kept doing knockback. Long and short because it was triggering twice. Now as to whether that effects burn's reaction with fury idk.
It was possible, though very difficult, before the intro of incarnate stuff and ATOs and new sets. I'd imagine it's still difficult but slightly less so. And it's well worth it.
Depends on the tf. Respec had normal four spawns, I've done mantis and synapse and they scaled down. Not sure if it's a trial vs tf thing or not. AVs still spawn though so bring an envenomed dagger if you don't have a regen debuff from something.
Reminding me of fun with traps - phase shifting and dropping several mines in the middle of a mob then unphasing. Slow but never stopped being funny to me.
Claws is just great. Only downside is it's all lethal damage.
Savage looks amazing but I can't speak to the performance. there was some discussion a few days ago on discord about the plus damage in its gimmick possibly not working correctly.
This is just not true. No minimum to start. I soloed the freakspec last night and have been doing tfs so or duo almost daily. You can even solo Dr. Q if you're a masochist.
Bonus tip. - since you can start TFS and trials so you can also use the LFG queue as a free teleporter.
What Cmarnold said. Plus be careful to note that the stealth ios don't provide full stealth on their own and you can't slot two. So superspeed + unbounded or celerity in sprint is the classic combo. If you prefer fly, SJ, tp or sorcery then pool stealth works.
you don't need all of the first three single targets. lose which ever is your least favorite. i didn't really look in depth at the build, though. i'm too busy playing to even make my own builds these days :D
IIRC there was some early squawking when they did it from people who thought it was going to nerf them but that quieted down quickly cuz they were improved quite a bit.
it's 100 merits but yeah i think you have to be 50 for them to show up. And no you can't convert to them except from other purples. That was a bug on the live servers that only worked with confuse and was pretty quickly patched. I only had time to get about 15 :D
