I was talking about AE farming, so fire, always fire.
-
I am looking for the strongest /Kin to make for farm teams, it does not necessarily need to do high damage, but I need it to be crazy survivable.
If you have built something like this I would love to look at your build.
Thanks!

The Ice Blast port for Sentinels had a couple of awkward changes, like the beloved Freeze Ray turning into the slower animating with worse mez effect Chilling Ray. It also has the Blaster (slower) version of the Ice Blast power.
This turns the set into a pretty slow set. Only Bitter Ice Blast and Ice Bolt animate fast, and you likely don't want Ice Bolt anyway.
The old Sentinel meta was also to take epic Dominate and proc it out mostly with hold damage procs. This rubs against Bitter Freeze Ray, who also can use hold procs (the purple one being the big concern). This is not as important today, but could have mattered in the past.
It's also debatable whether Sentinel nuke normalization is kind to Blizzard. You get a faster ticking but slower duration power. It's not necessarily bad compared to the original Blizzard; but relative to other Sentinel nukes which sometimes retain the full strength of their secondary effects coupled with a faster time, perhaps it plays a role?
Maybe there is a perception of weakness because of any or all of the above.Well then, that would be a good reason its not so awesome.... back to the drawing board, I want to make ?/Rad sentinel that can take advantage of Rad's fast recharge, but not sure what would be the best for this... How are DPs on Sents? I always found them weak on blasters.

flash in the TV show, hurls lightning, that would seem to be electric blast or something similar

Blizzard (on Sents) looks like it has a 90 second cooldown and an 8 second duration, so at maxed recharge it'd be 18 seconds of recharge, so basically about 40% on, 60% off. That's with maxed recharge, usually impossible to achieve without a pocket Kin or something.
Ice Storm has a 60 second cooldown and a 15 second duration (and about a 2 second cast time), so it's theoretically possible to perma it.
I have been trying to find builds for Ice/Rad and they are very few and far between, I wonder if its just considered a gimped build?

If you want something versatile and durable, try dual pistols/radiation armor.
If you want something with better damage, but requiring a little more hands-on attention, try a fire or sonic/bio armor sentinel.
Somebody on one of the forums mentioned ice/rad could almost perma blizzard, is that true? (or close?)
Edit: maybe its Ice Storm? Maybe I am on drugs... (right JJ ?)
-
I did some searching looking for an Ice/Fire blaster but the one I found seemed outdated, not the current "style" of JJs builds, do you have an updated one?
I also noticed its nearly impossible to find a Ice/Rad Sentinel posted, are they just bad?
-
I have started doing some working from home, so what would be the best AFK-Farmer and what would be a good build ?
-
So I just pulled my Storm/Water Defender out of mothballs, and I wondered to myself... What would JJ do? 😃
-
So I loaded up COH after a couple years down time. Glad to see its still here.
Anyway, the last few weeks I have been goofing around with all my toons, figuring out what I want to play, and man I don't remember making most of these things.... I happened upon a defender with Lightning Storm.... okay that is too much fun, how do I build a defender to maximize the storm primary? What 2nd ? What builds... wow it is fun... (did not remember any of this)
thanks in advance, I want to have one of each, so its time to build a 'fender. (No Les Paul jokes plz)
-
I found the build posted for Rad/SS, but Beta Decay is empty... what do you put there? (or did I get the wrong one?)

Good info, but sounding a little rude imo.
I understand where he is coming from though, he spends hours figuring all this complicated stuff out, and a n00b (me) posts "I don't get it" and it annoyed him. I get it and that was MY bad. I admit, I don't know much other than pushing buttons, so my response was worded poorly.

Once again I apologize, thanks for the build.

I know JJ is mad at me right now, but does anybody have a dark/fire defender build that is not to complicated to play? Cost is not a consideration, it can be expensive.

You can choose a No Redraw option. Go to any trainer/tailor, click Customize Appearance -> Primary/Secondary -> Tactical Arrow (No Redraw). Same applies to most other primaries/secondaries with redraw animations (bar a few exceptions).
Oh wow, did not know that, that is a little bit awesome.

How do you guys get used to the constant re-draw on TA ? Its driving me insane its like I can take a drink while it draws, that is way tooooooo loooooooong!

Are you high? All that stuff is there. Soft Caps, Hard Caps, +Recharge, etc...
For not understanding, you sure swayed right in and dropped a list of stuff you wanted....That I did....
Lets go over your list you dropped on me. With a zero thanks mind you, I don't expect that, then I don't expect someone coming to a post thinking I don't look at and bemoan bout it either.
1, Fire/Bio Sentinel --- 71.61% S/L Resistance. Cap for Sentinel is 75. Bio is about Regening/Absorbs. This before you use a Stance(of 3)
39 C/F & 34 E/NE Defense. Bio armor even with recipe sets is not best for defense capping, without giving up a lot on front end.
But, with Purples and Incarnates, this easily covered. F/C/E/NE Resist 26.5% Good enough if you get hit over those D.
Regen of 472.82% this not counting any incarnates and your absorbs. Endo Regen: 3.34% Toxic Res: 50.82, Psi Resist: 25.45%
Psi Defense: 26.42% You have: 6 Attacks Recharges lowest at: 1.82 and max of: 34(Nuke). Thus plenty off attacks. +85% Recharge.
Not sure how you can't understand any of that. Tells me you don't understand Bio Armor's functions. Other powers you have are most likely
LoTG Mules for your +7.5% Recharge, like Grant Invis.
Fire/Atomic Blaster --- Fire Atomic is Soft Capped, S/L/E. 36% for Ranged. First 3 are normally tied to most ranged attacks in game and CC, so you'll be avoiding a lot. Not going go over rest, it pretty damn basic and anyone here can go to my post, DL it see it.
Rad/Bio Brute --- Same as Bio Sentinel but better, I again don't think you understand Bio Armor.
TW/Bio Scrapper --- Same as Other Bio Armors
Rad/Kin Corrupter --- 42% S/L Defense, yes your 3% short of a soft Cap, but for Kin that's good. A lot their secondaries don't work well for recipe +Defense.
But again you never asked for Tank style build, you just threw a list at me.
Poison/Sonic Defender --- 51% Defense vs S/L and 43% vs E. This doesn't even factor in debuffs you'll be doing with Poison. No need to go over rest. Seems like
you don't understand how Poison works.
Rad/SS Tanker --- Literally build I have for my Tanker Bully Goat. He's very strong and literally I can auto-pilot on him. I have a feeling you don't understand how
any of this works.
I feel like you just don't understand how stuff works in general. You may ask why am I calling you out on this, cuz I am honestly tired of folks shitting on me, being snide at me, or trying earn some kind cool points for attempts to dunk on me. It's a trend, one reasons I left the Discord of folks sending me nasty tells constantly. Managed to get those folks shut down here via the Mods and most them in game.
I just won't put up with anyone's shit anymore, well Far Beyond Driven in this regard. Other then that, Have a nice day and maybe understand the game mechanics and powers better.
P.S.
4x8 is just a dick measuring contest that honestly not very functional. 3x8 math wise is will garner you faster XP/Cash/Rewards. Especially when your +1 Incarnate, this not counting when your +3 and doing actual Incarnate missions. I do all my stuff at 50 game at +3x8, rake in more then enough to fund next two-three toons in Attuned Recipes to level up and repeat. (Clearing all lvl 50 Contacts). I have 45 50s that can attest to that with another 4 more 50s that still need to clear contacts.
I agree, I probably don,t understand the game well enough. When I get home I will take a screen of my Fire/Bio (my main, or most enhanced), so you can see where I am screwing this up.
Thanks for the information on 3x8 vs 4x8, my brute can afk 3x8 but he dies in 4x8, so that helps me a great deal.

This is the best place to get information on builds. You don't even have to think about anything. This person does random builds that are a very good place to start. Just use ones that are from Oct 2022 forward (as that was the last major patch).
I appreciate the resource though I do not understand these builds, they don't seem to have a focus... or I don't understand the focus, no defense caps, no proc's.

Hey I just found this thread, hoping you have not retired.
I just came back to the game so my toons are all outdated (I last played 2 years ago)
Fire/Bio Sentinel
Fire/Atomic Blaster
Rad/Bio Brute
TW/Bio Scrapper
Rad/SS Tanker
Rad/Kin Corrupter
Poison/Sonic Defender
No limits on budget, hope I did not overload you.

1) Will you mostly be soloing, teaming, or a mix of both?
2) Are you comfortable stepping into melee range or would you much rather kill things from a distance?
3) Any restrictions in terms of primaries/secondaries or even pool powers?
1. Both
2. If I can step in and not die, sure.
3. None that I know of...
I currently have two blasters (and more baby ones, I have a zillion level 2-10s)
. Ice/Fire its so complicated to play.
. Fire/Rad its slightly less complicated but man waiting for Atom Smasher animation, I could go up to the liquor store and still be in the air after I made my drink.
. The rest are under 25-ish, not sure what kind, but several.
The big problem is, the game has changed, and I have no clue how to build, my buddy I used to play with made all our builds...
"He makes the weapons, I use them.." -Blade
-
I reloaded the game after around 2 years off, my friends stopped playing and as a result I lost my buddy who made all the builds.
I am looking for something that is tough enough for my slow "old man" reflexes.
Ideas? besides play a Sentinel and accept doing 50% less damage. (my sentinel dies too)
thank you for any help you might have, I want to get into the game again, but I have to find a toon I love to keep playing, you know how it is.

I'm currently screwing around with Radiation/Regen, but Fire/Bio is a strong combo
I dusted off my Fire/Bio, it does not seem any stronger, its still struggling to do 4x8s. Maybe I need a new build, but my builder friend quit the game.

Sentinels aren't that weak. They do a bit less damage, but their survivability more than makes up for having to hit someone twice.
Okay, what Sentinel do I make that will NOT feel weak?

Could I possibly trouble you for a rad/kin corruptor build for grouping with AE fire farm folks?
