Hi all,
I feel like this is a good build, but I wanted a sanity check from you experts out there.
Here's my build, and my ideas about it:
General reasoning:
General power cycle:
Single target - Snap Shot/Chilblain/Blazing arrow/Cryo Freeze Ray/repeat.
Aoe: Build up/Aim/Rain of Arrows/Fistful of Arrows/Explosive Arrows/repeat
(I often repeat FoA/EA until BU/Aim are recharged.)
[I have RoA activating on a target for the cycle, rather than having to manually point the target.]
No Hasten: because I can barely keep the single target power cycle on cooldown with just this level of recharge (110%).
Stealth pool gives me good mule powers for LotG Ios.
*I have BU and Aim 5-slotted for the set bonuses [esp Recov and Dmg].
*Same for the Freezing Touch 5-slot. Also an handy 2nd Hold for the occasional Lady Grey MiniHami.
*Same for the 6 slots in Body Armor, though I do like the added Res.
I used to slot Evasive Maneuvers heavily for defense, but finally realized that EM loses all defense when I attack, Stealth and Hover lose only some defense when attacking, and Maneuvers, Combat Jumping keep the defensive bonuses, so I slotted those more heavily.
I like Ice Patch!! It's surprisingly effective damage mitigation for the enemies I like to fight most (Council, Cimerorans, 5th column, Nemesis)
*I formerly had my Alpha slot as Cardiac, but now that I have my IO sets where I intended, I have switched to Musculature - but haven't tried it yet.
Destiny: Barrier Radial
Interface: Degenerative Core; Lore: Longbow Radial
Judgement: Ion Radial; Hybrid: Assault Radial
Finally, I mostly run in L50 TFs, many speed runs, Incarnate content, and other stuff where my team often covers the obvious holes, like ranged defense.
(The stars indicate where I have particular questions about whether I'm way off base)
Thanks for any advice!
