Today, right now on Reunion server : first time doing it with that toon.

Lots of nice people spent lot of time trying to explain you that your offhand estimations are based on flawed tools used out of context. They even offer you nice "exit door" by assuming you did not know or do mistakes. Is it so hard just to write :"it's ok, i did not know x and y and i will take a look at this, thank you." But to be honnest, i m now sure that's just a waste of time and you just troll : YOU are the first to randomly throw numbers out of nowhere in our faces with no proof like recorded runs and you are the one asking to lot more insightfull people than you to prove their point. So let's go back to the begining : i say that you are wrong and you mislead people for some reasons. So now, show us the builds and record of your pylons runs or it never happened.

This build seems very solid, for the /bio part. Clever decision about the barrier and the procs on rad attacks are smart choices. But Atomic blast with only 20 DPa Oo. Is it because it's a hold ? That's very low :x It's like 75% of the DPA of the "All Mighty" power "punch" on (only) 10 targets with 100% hold mag 3 for (only) 11,92 seconds. And on a set with no other hold. At this point, it's not balancing, it's killing an AT 😕

I have issues with sentinels. Like really. I dont specialy like or dislike them but i honnestly dont know what to do of them. BUT : you go in details and numbers, so allow me to do the same : - 197 dps for a sentinel "endgame" is low : blaze is mandatory in a fire rotation but flares ? really. no mind probe, smite or knockout punch ? other set as ice or psy offer tons of procs build possibilities fire will never have. - Blaze is mandatory in a fire rotation but flares ? really. no mind probe, smite or knockout punch for sentinels ? No Blazing bolt for blaster ? Flares is the most terrible power of fire blast. where are the juicy epic power in those rotations ? - All the /storm builds are extremly powerfull... when stars aligns : storm are the master of rikti pylon AKA killing something which dont move. How do you fill the enormous endurance drain of storm ? ageless ? so no clarion. I would like to see your corupter solo to do the same in almost any +4 content with no statu protection. - In the rikti pylon thread, one for the main rule is NO ASSAULT USED cause this incarnate with pets / summons is extremely powerfull for the the time you can use it, and allow unrealistics "builds" think to burst down a immobile target (AKA a pylon) in less than 1m30 (the time of assault). - That's a lot of numbers... based on what builds ? which conditions ? how do you calculate your "dps" ? do you have recorded "dps" runs ? i can come to this very forum and say :" look my sentinel does over 9000 dps" too. - Sentinels Blaze DPA : 130 / Blaster Blaze DPA : 170 / coruptor blaze DPA 113,9. Using the same terrible rotation (Blaze / flares / fireball) on both sentinel and coruptor, how do you end up with more dps on the corupter than the sentinel ? - All coruptors secondaries will not give so much "theorical" dps, as /storm : i'm really not sure than an Empath Coruptor will "deal roughly" whatever % out of your imagination more than any sentinel build.

this should be with assault on

Nice "résumé" ! 🙂 Just about AR : the no redraw costume option + tactical arrow saved AR imo : fast animations, crazy area damage, best sniper to build PPM and tactical arrow's Glue / EMP / Ice arrows provide the tools to contain just enough the Ignite fear effect. We have one main AR / Tactical in the sg : to give you an example : it's not possible to do the "Kitty got claws" badge in Tin mage 2 with him in the team, cause Bobcat and Neuron die almost at the same speed (if we dont "park" Bobcat far from Neuron).

Tactical Arrow 🙂 Yes, the No Redraw is awesome !

Due to the nature of TW, i prefer not using a Epic / patron and having all the TW powers slotted : it allows me to have the optimized single target rotation and a full conic rotation. The taunt is mandatory cause i use my scrapper to "tank" TF in speedruns.

1) chain of damaging Holds with 4 damage procs (both damage procs from PVP/purple set hold and ranged damage + damage proc from holds powers) 2) Toxins adding again toxic damage, all served during the 10 seconds of glory of a Aim slotted with a gaussian Build up (allowing to blast people with high def) 3) /plant have a very strong mitigating tool. "pvp" FOTM

it s the 100 bucks question of the game now 🙂 Dont get me wrong, i dont say that +5 builds are mandatory. I just say that making a full attuned build at 50 NEGATES you the option to upgrade later. By listening to idiots, people talking sh...t without self testing or justifying their own lazyness to do the long and expensive road to a full +5 build, i did the mistake to build my first "endgame build" with only attuned io (around 700 millions...) IOs that i had to buy again when i understood that i could be more powerfull with a +5 build. it's painfull to say the least 😛

Bio armor scrapper with huge investment and/or a pocket def support can "main tank" low dif TF with ease : Bio armor have more agro tools than lots of "brute" armor as regen, sr or energy for instance. In my very humble opinion : Brutes are tanks with average good dps and average agro management Scrappers are DPS able to off tank and, well gear, even tank "farmed" content.

1) yes, cause i see no tool for endurance management : Dominators are spammy AT and endurance is often an issue. Consume, Power sink in Mu mastery, Aid Self with field medic and Ageless incarnate can all help you. 2) 45% is the soft cap yes, and if you can play without its fine 🙂 just that if you have it, you could handle +4 content. 3) Some AT could live without hasten but perma hasten (or very close with some Force Feedback + recharge) allow you to reuse Domination before it ends (allowing easier endurance management) and staying in "god mode" : the Destiny incarnate Ageless is priceless to help to achieve this. 4) Ring of fire / fire cages are awesome for dps : but they are Immobilise powers not hold : they just forbid movement, not action. Flashfire was not in the main topic and Smoke tohit debuff is not that big if you face strong enemies. On side note too, bonfire used on enemies immobilised by fire cages (to negate KB) is the highest power in DPA (Damage Per Activation) you can have in fire control. I think you based build can be cool and fun to play but if you really cant to invest almost half a billion, you just could have more for your infamy 🙂

i allow me to quote myself because i finally took the time to edit my 85 seconds rikti pylon. So : Scrapper TW bio (with my build having a full conic rotation for thrash clearing and able to "tank" speedrun tf) 85 seconds. T4 Musculature T4 Ageless T4 Reactive T4 Assault (not click)

So half of the dps posted are "unaccurate" to stay "polite" 😛 to simplify, time and Assault or not click is the best way to have an idea, i think 🙂

Taking care of the examplar content is fine but remember that any attuned IO cannot be upgrade later. +5 Builds can be extremly powerfull but they must be think for a whole build +5 and to be fair, some build / AT dont benefit a lot of a full +5 upgrade. Attuned Io will give always give you the max amplification based on the level you are : So if you are examplar to lvl 20, your attuned IO will be 25 : did you look at the diference between an io 20 and 25 ? 😉 Purple and pvp io always give their bonuses and to be honnest, attuned or not, having +5 powers and set bonuses are enough to roll on exemplar content. Attuned are made to allow low lvl toon to use io at very low level, not to gear lvl 50 toon. Edit : ho i forget, due to the fact purple and pvp io always give their bonuses and that purple are the biggest amplification % you can get in this game (with superiors), purple io are the best io to upgrade +5 :

The idea is that you fight a Rikti Pylon in RWZ and time how long it takes you to defeat it. You then plug the time into the equation below to get you raw DPS. ((HP+(Regen*Time))/Time)/(1-Resistance) = Raw DPS The numbers I have in my archives for the pylons are below, though I would appreciate some secondary confirmation that they are still accurate. HP=30677.15 Regen=102.26 HP/s Resistance=20% Final equation would be: ((30677.15+(102.26*Time))/Time)/(1-0.20)) Post your AT, power sets, time, and DPS number below.

Nice time 🙂 I was wondering how you calculate the dps cause i end to 451,15 dps for a 1 minute 25 time using the formula on the first page.

Sure, but CoX was far from perfect too. NC soft closed the game to have servers for theirs "so called" perfect game with Richard Garriot, Tabula Rasa. But still, we now see the end of the "reborn honeymoon" time. The deal will bring lot of people, but lot will not stay or just leave too. People who didnt play CoX back in the days will not play it now, just for "old scholl" feelings 🙂

It's not likely : Bob Iger and Disney dont believe in Video Games. We just have to see the mess that was Marvel Heroes (Online from the microsoft project to the terrible end of Marvel Heroes "Gazilion")

Hi, 1) 2,19 recovery for 1,6 endurance drain with only Victory rush, aim for ageless recovery or condider Consume 2) going so high in ranged defense without achieving the soft cap is a waste to me : Imo, or you reach 45 or you dont slot any defense. 3) No hasten : you dont try to perma hasten so no Perma Domination. For a half billion build. Not worth to me. 4) No Hard controls : A dominator without hard controls (holds / stun) is useless : if you want to do a fire damage theme toon go try a fire fire fire BLASTER.

I think that TW should be consider as a level of damage to reach cause it seems to just outperfom any other sets. If OP can reach the dps of TW without procs by "customized" an attack set, it would be a performance.

Exactly the way i think, and the reason why i dont do PuG and i play exclusivly with SG / friends.

i would give a lot to enjoy a double support AT, i still dream of a cold / kin character

With a friend TW bio scrapper in +5 build too, we solve many problems 😉
