Crowcus Pocus

Here's my take at it. 44,1% to Melee/Ranged/AoE, while keeping the things you wanted. I've also added Chocking Cloud back in, because I believe it's a nice tool to have under your belt. Lingering Radiation is now slotted with 1Accuracy, I'd rather have a split second downtime than missing the hit. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1531;714;1428;HEX;| |78DA6594CB4F135114C6EFB453B1A5052AEF97D02282058696C756A3824603A6B4E| |8CE34633BB41370DAB43582D144DCBBD1851B79199F1B17CA43FF15251ADDFB5888| |023EEAE99CAFD0A493B6BF33DF3DE77EE7DE3BD3F1D911E7CBB3F3278454717A46C| |D642223DA9466C4B4B463528B268CE44C323E27F257197DDB0B839153D7A6A69490| |1AD3D5AC9E3422A357F54C868296BD84906AC4B598124E1A7A3472329B55A3D3EE7| |346424B6B46562904AE603239A39CD1E389AC6EC42BCDBB314DA5FA4C424F390BF7| |291A749837E194A6C5DCA3293DAA8CA8E9E9C8B89AC96AE9B906EACD47DFEB16FA9| |1F2DDE66C628282805D58426098294F320F5C042F31DF59042EAA5D10A6D6FE88D9| |B1C83CB2042E832BCC59AA95D857481ED6E648B3B22659EF5AD8FB3E73936083976| |D5536B5836BE03AD3B1C174BE6556BC61DEA0DA327895C1CB428763E7F9ACF620C1| |4BF56166D5041862BA29B79CEB2DE5B5BC76E770FE80ADA202B4528E0BBDBB8EF3E| |17B06AC66EE07F2AF44EF95AF586B79CD3CBC0AAE81EBCCF60DA64CF3B8E1ED86F7| |217816F891E6AFC6FCD58F79BF6A9E804F9975CFC0E7CC8617CC9B845AAE15B54DB| |C37B748ABC77CF55BC8FFC96CFA056E335B76989E5DCC4FFD3662AF1BD16F3569CD| |D09AD1730D69ADF06D459E97B436EC615B0F9E27F0134DEF454F5E3F9F6BC73038C| |4EC0A307D03CCBE41E667AAED446DE7026B4717C125701973ACA0F621F3361D43B7| |F982E46CDDBF798DC7FE807FC17F4C5F0E147C76F3841E5E8FDC534F41AB5DF46EF| |158EF36B8C3ECFBC1BC4350E0A7C0AF1F7EFDF0EB875F007E01F875D0FEF9799D92| |FF3DC636714EF2DEBB4A1FBA84AF44F19728811265B044192A51C6E4BDFF147AC9D| |8FFC2BE960BCA08F3EFBE5961AF12F93598A35F1C45FF0C7D7CFADFF63549F2F06A| |BBCE93D065175F8BF3BB39FF7B71FE3D3CA10F98BB75047472C561F668C66A517CB| |9280E16C5FF01F773FDD3| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| EDIT: After seeing that you'd be willing to give up 2 slots (health and stamina), you could push both AoE and Melee defense to soft cap, ending up with 45% Melee, 44,1% ranged and 45,9% AoE.

Hey buddy. I do remember you and your Tank - I'll send you a global invite whenever I get back online!

Hi gang. I'm looking for a new home, that is active during daytime. I'm from Portugal (GMT+1) and I play mostly week days, anywhere from 9AM to 5PM. I don't care for PvP at all - I'm mostly a PvE player. Here's what I usually love doing in-game: - Leveling outside farms - Themed teams - Speed TFs (regular TFs are fine too - depends on how much time I have available) - Quest arcs and badge hunting PS: I don't share food.

I'm leveling one too. It was a toss between /Rad and /DP, but I decided it was time I gave /Rad a try. The synergy is there, at least.

Lovely work. Thank you! Small fix: "Sonic Resonance" instead of "Sonic Debuff" on Defender's chart.

For teleport, the following bind should work: As for other useful macros, it really depends on what you find useful. You'll find a few handy macros/binds in this thread.

There is no current solution for this. Here's what I do to get rid of salvage quicker: I have a bind or custom window for quick Auction House access Sort salvage by amount (descending) When dragging to the AH, select the highest amount possible and hit enter Because you sorted it by amount (descending), you no longer have to select the amount to the rest of the salvage stacks. Simply drag and press enter

Thanks for adding this up!

I had these saved, but decided to delete them since I wont be using any time soon Brienne of Trap - Traps/DP Defender Boom Boom Ciao - AR/Device Blaster Invulnerabull - Invul/SS Tank Burnt Toast - Fire/Time Corruptor

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

I'll go with the classic suggestion of 2x Fire/Rad controllers. 2x AM means hardly any end issues + damage and recharge buff 2x Flashfire for mass containment 2x Hotfeet + Chocking Cloud so you can jump in after Flashfire and start inflicting great AoE dmg 2x debuffs to make everything melt quicker 6x fiery imps of doom Add to that some handy heals, mass AoE hold and bonfire with KB>KD procs and you'll have a fantastic combo and fun times ahead of you.

I remember them from live.

@CarnifaxI've always wondered about the defense bonus from Group Invisibility. Doesn't most of it wear off after attacking?

I don't think it's possible to execute more than one power with one click. Instead you could use the same bind setup as most people do with shields: Create the following txt files in c:\binds\ Then, ingame you type /bindloadfile c:\binds\aim.txt This will turn Q into a bind that cycles between the two powers. So, that's 2 clicks instead of 1.

I can't open the build at the moment, but looking at what you pasted here's what I see: Blind: you can save yourself some inf and replace that Apoc proc with a Ghost Widow or Neurotic Shutdown Psi Dmg Proc Hover: that second slot could be best used in many other powers. Here's a few suggestions: Lockdown chance for +2Mag Hold on Blind or Flash Sudden Acceleration KB>KD on Phantasm, so he doesn't know enemies away from your Tar Patch area Force Feedback +recharge on Disruptor Blast will help lowering the cooldown of your powers I'm still to try Dark Affinity, but it seems like Fade and Soul Absorption would also be better options for that 2nd slot on Hover. Maybe you could check how other players are slotting those powers and see if you get a better idea Could also replace the 2nd LotG with a Kismet +Accuracy Stamina: I really don't think you need that 3rd slot. Place it in one of the many suggestions above Poisonous Ray: That slot with Lady Grey's Proc could also be removed and better used elsewhere Twilight Grasp seems to have some weird slotting, but I'm guessing it's for some sort of bonus (recharge?). I'd have to open the build on Mids to make any further suggestions, but I believe these suggestions would already improve your build slightly.

Now that's a different question and a very hard one to answer to - I like it! Naming one and one only is quite challenging, but to me it would have to be... ... /em drumroll

Honestly, it's a very solid build. The Force Feedback procs in both Earthquake and Tornado (enhancement that can - and should - be crafted as low as level 21), will ensure quicker recharge on key powers such as Stalagmites, Freezing Rain, Tornado and Lightning Storm. And that's pre-incarnates.

Not being able to disable Speed Boost's buff to run speed. Truly annoying, especially during cave missions. (For those who are not aware, you can disable this feature by visiting a P2W vendor).

Thought I should post it here, since this is quite a frequently asked question both in game and in the forums. You can actually adjust your character's body type (including gender) and body settings (height, waist, shoulder width, etc) by visiting a Cosmetic Surgeon at Icon Stores (aka Tailors). Visiting trainers will allow you to change costume settings only.

I can put something together for you. Is it low budget or unlimited? And do you have a specific objective in mind?

Minor tweak: replaced Enfeebled Operation set in Stone Cages with Positron's Blast for slightly better recharge and more damage. Another way of slotting Stone Cages is: 5xGravitational Anchor (including the hold proc) and 1xOverwhelming Presence: Energy Font. This should get you some endurance back, allowing you to spam SC. No slots were moved.

I'm not sure if Burn was autohit before, but it does have a to-hit check these days. As for Consume being useful, I find myself not using it at L50 because of T4 Ageless. However, I do use it on lower level content and as a IO bonus mule.

Two months ago, I have played with this energy blaster who was actually slotted for +KB on a few of his attacks. I was playing my Ice/Ice Tanker and the other two members were a Storm/DP and a Spines/Something scrapper. You can tell it was bound to be a mess. The blaster and the stormy loved their chaotic toons, KB'ing foes out of paragon island, while the spines scrapper struggled to find a nice pack to feed his AoE lust. Me... well, I played all sorts of weird builds back on live, so I didn't mind at all. We had a chat for a few mins and we decided how we should do things in a way that is fun for everyone. I suggested they could wait a few seconds before engaging, so I could herd and find some place where they could knock the mobs into corners while the scrapper would be happy that everything was packed nicely and waiting for his AoEs. It ended up being a fun and effective team. We consistently cleared +2/8 on lvl 35ish characters. I don't recall any deaths either, except for one disgusting carnie mission that we ended up stealthing.

I'm all for fun and concept. The few times I said Poison isn't that good is when people say it's amazing, purely based on the numbers they see on Mids. To them, I reply saying other sets do what Poison does, only better. And then I add that Poison doesn't have anything really unique to the set except for the splashing mechanic - that I firmly believe needs some tweaking. So, in a nutshell, I feel the same about Poison than I do about FF or TA. Each of these sets need a slight rework to make them great alternatives and bring more variety to the game. Now, the great thing about Homecoming is that procs can turn most "OK" sets into something much better. Hell, my Sonic/Beam is one of my favorite characters, mostly because of Procs and how they make my toon so much more interesting and active. As you say, Plant/Anything is bound to perform well just because of Plant alone. May I ask if you use Seeds on your farm clears? Great job, anyway and I'm glad you have found another fun character to play with!

Can't open this build without a data chunk, but if you want capped defenses all you need is to get either version of Power Boost. PB + Farsight feels like cheating. That's how good it is. In fact, it's so easy to get great defenses with a Time/DP, that you really should consider going with a Proc heavy build to greatly improve your damage output and your -res debuff potential. Check Proc Monsters thread and you'll find at least one great Time/DP build in there.
