  1. Just writing to say the smugger day job badge appears to not be counting progress towards unlocking it https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Smuggler this one. I had the relevant power after logging out for a week straight in the ferry. I definitely have the marketeer's badge. Day job progress shows 4'unknowns' and nothing towards Smuggler. (logged off in base, logged off in city hall, university, and hospital) if it matters i swapped to red side to get the badge, but as I was able to get Marketeer finished up while red side, I think its just broken instead.
  2. Fair enough. Did you know if you put the panacea into Warmth, it can restore extra health and infuse endurance into your pets? Thats why i run warmth all the time. Its pretty awesome! Right now I've been looking at changing Corruption to Lash and Crack Whip. Corruption is good and all(and can take hold procs), but i want to put the force feedback recharge piece into my attack powers. I'm currently using soul mastery, but if I respecced into a different one, I think i'd stack bone fire atop it - with force feedback as well. ( this seems like plenty of CC), and being able to get recharge out of it sounds excellent as well. Thank you for the explanation! I guess i'll drop assault next time!
  3. Alright, I'm looking through that build now and there's a few things that crop up for me: Why thaw, and why heat exhaustion? Why the recharge speed piece in Hover, and not more defense? (misclick?) Does melt armor have enough accuracy? Thats a favorite power so far. Is Assault just not needed? Is the 5-slot doctored wounds recharge worth it over a 6-slot numina's ranged defense boost (3.75%) (panacea 5 slot also offers a better recharge boost if you can get it cheaply) Is the impeded swiftness damage proc on the prince really that good? I've been using aself heal proc it means i need to mind him less. If you'd free up slots in that build, where would they come from? Is the placata/taunt resist aura piece from Commanding Presence not worth using? I'm sure i'll come up with a few more, but this is at a glance. Just trying to understand the why's!
  4. After some playing around with it, i have a few other questions: How much accuracy is enough? Right now I have a quick and easy 5x Acc/dam/end cherrypicked from the other sets, plus a proc. If you're using 2-stat pieces, which attribute do you usually de-emphasize a little? Accuracy?
  5. Thank you very much. This is the core foundation of not-mathhammered but still useful advice I was looking for. I'll look into getting pieces for those sets that I don't have already. is there any particular reason for advocating the call to arms pieces with recharge? I thought pets weren't affected by it, unless recharge intensive pet mods dodge around that? as for hell on earth, I'm using thermal as my secondary. It seems like Forge is just better: 1 minute cooldown for 2 minute boost, vs a 1 minute 30 second boost with a ten minute cooldown. Its nice now and again, but I think i'm better served boosting Forge's cooldown and using it on teammates and big pets. ED limits are around 99%/100% for accuracy, damage and endurance, right? I'd think the golden standard would be getting there with 3-aspect set pieces, and leaving room for 1-2 proc pieces.
  6. More questions: I heard off hand that mastermind pets do NOT benefit from recharge at all. Is this still true? None of the 'pet damage' sets seem to have recharge pieces in it. It seems the tier 2 and tier3 demon pets can take recharge intensive IO's new (thanks homecoming team?); does this mean the prince actaully benefits from attack speed?
  7. As the topic says! I could use some advice wrapping my brain around how to do high-concept slotting for demon summoning. Love them as a power set, but every pet having different powers makes it hard to find good commonality to slot for effect. I have access to most of the pet damage sets. I don't have mastermind archetype IO's. I'm trying to avoid purples for now, but could probably spring for 1-2 if its worthwhile. I have a few specific questions: Where is the best place for the chance for build up proc? If i put the Preventative Medicine - Chance for +absorb proc into Summon Demons(2x), does that benefit the pets? As in, will they gain a small shield when close to dying? Likewise, if I put it in an AOE heal, could I give the benefit to others? Which set bonuses are worth going for? All in on one, or cherrypick 1-2 piece bonuses? Is it better to 'frankenslot' for overall effectiveness instead? Is it a Bad Idea to throw all of the global/aura pet pieces on Hell on Earth just to carry them and get another slot out of each summon power? (as near as I can tell there's 5, which works nicely) Summon Demonlings:(3x) Are there any Slow Movement sets worth adding in here? Is there any way to make them a bit more tough, or barring that, stun/mez enemies? I was poking around in the forum here, and saw one with the +chance for build up on the demonlings. I was wondering why that's a good idea? Summon Demons(2x): I noticed these can take Resist damage, healing and Knockback set as well. (i assume resist pieces only affect the Ember Demon's fire shield, unless its a proc.) Is it possible to put a numina's or Miracle piece in here to help the demons endurance/health? And is it worthwhile to put knockback parts in here, just to boost the Hellfire gargoyle's knockback/knockdown attacks? Demon Prince(1x): This guy seems to be the most straightforward, which is nice! Lots of ice powers. I've been looking at the Call of the Sandman: chance to heal self as a way to make it take a little less management. If i'm reading this right, it only goes off if he decides to use the Frozen Aura power? Or would Slow movement set pieces be better? Any suggestions welcome. I'm at a loss because there's so much variety. Please and thank you!
  8. As the title says. Within the Sentinel's Beam Rifle powerset, Refraction Beam isn't able to slot Defense Debuff sets despite saying it can. Other powers in the same pool are able to do so no issue! Sucks because i leveled up and spent slots to find it can't do what it says it can. Screenshots here due to file size limits: https://imgur.com/a/L8B8RxU Additionally: It can't take a level 10 regular defense debuff IO.
