Build Request: Rad/EA scrapper w/ Combat TP, TP, Fold Space
Without_Pause replied to Grimm2's topic in Scrapper
How procs were handled already got changed which impacted Rad. I'm not sure any future changes for the set are on the table as quite frankly there are outright underperforming sets to dealt with first. -
Playing by Iron Man rules. Do I live or die?

Some people just want to play Tin Foil Man I guess. 😆 -
Are Converters still the go-to for merit purchases?
Without_Pause replied to EmperorSteele's topic in The Market
I buy them at 8M. I did both sets for a MM at 7.5M per each IO. -
First character: Martial Arts/Energy Aura
Without_Pause replied to arclight.phantasm's topic in Brute
Looks like I had Energize selected as on for mine, but not yours. In terms of Psy, I feel like the missions filled with Psy are obviously the most problematic, but those are really rare. -
It's amazing to think of how I picture an assassin looking and how truthful that outfit is.

For those scoring at home once you turn off Incarnates: Def S/L: 45.3% E/N/T/P: 17% F/C: 32.7% Res S/L 73% E: 90% N: 51.9% F/C: 80.8% T: 8% P: 52.9% All I'm saying is, I get 75% S/L Res on an EA Brute and that's a Def based armor. You have 17% Def to Toxic with 8% Res, so there is no real surprise if Toxic based targets are an issue. My no real effort invested makes me think they have the -Def to remove what little Def you have. One thing to think about, you split the ATO to double the S/L Def, but you have no DDR. You might be better off going in on the 6-slot bonus for more Res. I honestly don't have a quick fix as I was scanning the build and kept finding little things to tweak so it would take me some time to rearrange things to see how it all worked out if it did. Part of the question is how bad do you want to fill that hole versus loading up on Inspirs to cover it?

Can you post something which can be imported?

Something which stands out to me doing arcs is finding unique maps. I found one recently. It was Council style cave base filled in a way I hadn't seen. Maybe my most memorable one was an Arachnos map where it looked like a cave huge spiders lived in. Arachnos bases have been a long standing rant for me. I went into that map and was like, "Dude. Why am I finally seeing this?" Oh to have that style of cave maps for Arachnos cave missions.

Are Converters still the go-to for merit purchases?
Without_Pause replied to EmperorSteele's topic in The Market
I've never bought a converter. Since coming back after the break I don't even really play the market anymore. Any character at this point crafts drops and converts as needed. If I play my 50s casually at night, see maybe two hours, I can regularly pull 40 mill in a night. I know I have done 100+ in some instances, but that would include longer play and duo boxing. Best case scenario for me is getting on at 10pm and playing until 1am. Also factor in downtime so even then I'm not fully playing for 3 hours. Play typically includes soloing at +2/x8 with it occasionally going to +3 +4 depending on the situation, but I haven't done non-farm +4 in a long time, and I hardly duo box a farm these days anyway. -
Returning to game any good Tanker SD/FM build I could use?
Without_Pause replied to Wroth's topic in Tanker
I took a build someone recently posted and tweaked it a bit more to my liking. This is notably more expensive than I would normally do. I would also like to possibly add in a power, but I would like to test that build before doing so. I might nuke it and rebuild it on the cheaper side, but I do have the expensive IOs on hand so I would only do so if I liked that build better versus me needing a cheaper build. |MBD;23147;1374;1832;BASE64;| |G2paIKyKx/lXLKSkJLigx4yXS5GuPVMXU/41DoRp767dEvb/WbeQ4BCeZOnqax0WkK5| |OW6U8ejMplH5Kn5LnT/Vt2n2/LdtS7YjYrwk6jC3AaXsfq/b+KoRDSJyNuwq+0y/MW2| |IIS8oyOdyX3Kl3OiXpz581s+r1qA/CISSFQhh7JmPadeCvSX0bUCPGI3R8/XhF/m0K8| |WN/NmeBIS2+NpHGzhJE/kOB55tXTwTwkNoKJCXMBPsk6+98V5zr920XBhZS1vjrAM7t| |KvxYRky4CXgJrpS8fUAoay+Be9bXYXmG8+CjhBmv1NsYvkN4cI2j99R+PDB5bLgho/g| |ZdCUpjqVbnQJtMU2lXj41oMAWAn+9N5SG1j90i9yK3pa+wVPsCAE3y/TsH8PTJzSlbm| |6aKsjh0tirHMhdgYiDhUpachrmPVUcF6bwANJXbD6eTGJM/i7mp5LTm1V94U1v6PZRY| |2k+rcJvC1z1/Vh8up1wWN50ZDDLgqe7au2itgV92bLbAjT1GJI5M3L7FY6lsb8tbdSv| |d74nGm2bEXxhPka52BtZAWreZwucw1BCH+cx5PvQ9yi2DPS3rhL4c3TOf/kPoTInmgS| |+kmv+J7P2FNWBAmgvUQkUQfH8u71P+CWrk3kfTtHpz7J2tobbW/nSr30OqsWXaxVbRB| |2fRZa57FDh7Qa9QS52EIZ2SRnRURxJOUgMoBCZQgYNOgJtcuDCkvdjha5KWSoFV7hk6| |WxKll9pgY8WuUamuFI6YACNJSUBI2icggejstB7YPR9he7CNRS7zty29YxaG3a8upEW| |BtB3QhIoQupEyQJ9sfxlOf7Y/wSlchPONTmXFL9Mu4cxZIeo5EuTaWntVNwNE9Zhp+Q| |xbS6Mo58qXa3FA+5C8Y7J2vI+qqjCr1PyO375AqVL2iaAI8gaNlcsB/5CwxDaW9YAjs| |DA8MpHx8XcJyvbk7ZlGV3D2GgiJcMTmUYKK4SkuOxsk/YmZO+n4685CthQ7LBporogP| |yxPBcFScm/xskIZcENxU9tOY/QVO/Qzx2mV2A2B6amNkzza7LIYAF4o3tsTTJWQI2x8| |gR+gm7TnpgngCJcc+88nrwhhC6qXXRKMTT9oFOKgTfFZAGeeJhXCO2CA5B2EJ1CEjEv| |CMYZGignbb7T1KbBwVdqwbuLWJS9LRY6GRxS5MpO4SYTsDtkJFCDjHJBdUBCcaHfvII| |hXVaTAhi6/PXaxstUTH9fvllpYh7AADKF/ZRUcU2rsuwxUmSbYhh6ebGu93E0CcHlhs| |HmB33RijLNxCW53jqRqY/vXeuiyKBuyRUVktDsW4x/qVsXgnMtv4IWuNXGBS+6I70I5| |wGeRnshMiPwOGCCRBfkJ6QWHaFa6kBNnUs2kx5sRLjuXYq0Ntcvuu8tskUZWEQkYQFd| |KKHBTBXbF7oe3xpGwGR5YABBzlcU450+w3Vl1v2xrEsce5cC1JliULErYESU5fY11nA| |F4p3FZl88q60H7iSqhGRXwgcOCc/TaMP0DvlD1DJhBSFJAU2m5UlwpARhC1KSr7um0K| |LjKMF1o1CyfrRKADQDzcxjmfNR+H3FDd6sEDDzhkifY7t78Cb38blFhTMgmmmsYYecv| |8EHx+Q11msqgz5D7rrtI7urt54jywNmRz0GFTXfnhz4yXvNLEo97p/oVqqaLZbg5ER2| |wkFSB/i+bc+ohdwf60Tr651emtrwp9uHFgnMh9i4evDhsXMEVTouZpIvENyQXqD1nRn| |4iFOf/cOfqYhyEYRcrAlblfrmGOFeFEWRvHVqXnImOeHNh6dueCBRXkCVV1Ja6UyWGt| |+J30Er8g/tygz9BudRDb3UN| -
Fire/kin. 'Nuff Said. I had one in the 20s on Live. I thought about doing one here and ended up with a Fire/time instead. Dark/kin. Sneaky good in the fact that Kin wants mitigation and Dark offers it. Kin's recharge helps get the one pets get back faster. More pets, more stuff to FS. Some powers are PBAoE. One cone though. I think the only real reason I got rid of mine is I already have a Dark/dark. Elec/kin. The Sleep pairs so well with Kin. Elec wants to be in melee. The single biggest issue for me is I don't know what to make of Elec. It feels like a bunch of different status effects tossed together versus something coherent. Lower on damage. I've made two Elec Controllers only to delete both. One being an Elec/kin in their 40s. Earth/kin. -Def helps Kin hit. Pet is a mini tank. You are FSing what for damage? Ice/kin. Plays in melee. Kin helps with Ice's end issues. Again, you are using FS to cap what damage? We joked with an SG mate about this. Note, we played before IOs. He was so glad to finally get Epic powers. I don't know enough about Arsenal to make a comment about it, but those are the ones I would look at.

Understandable in the difficulty of making RoP work. At least one of the picks is a travel power. I 1-slot Spirit Ward with Preventive Medicine: Absorb Proc. Even RoP is simply the two +3% IOs, so slot investment is minimal. I skipped two attacks, and 1 armor power to make it work. Skipping the rez in Regen takes care of that side. Skipping one attack tends to be easy enough. I should mention Shadow Meld as an 'Oh crap' button.
-
What are SOs? 😄 The easiest thing to do is sell the unattuned version and buy the attuned version. Once you start using unslotters, you start looking at losing even more money from getting what you want.
-
Tough, Weave, Rune of Protection. Basically toss as much mitigation at Regen as you can because it has none outside of Regen and Healing.
-
I would pair Regen with something which offers a health amount of mitigation. The easiest answer would be Ice although I would prefer Ice on pretty much any other AT.

What to pair with Savage melee and Battle Axes?
Without_Pause replied to Prinny25's topic in Scrapper
I partly assumed it did. I will know more when my own Savage Stalker hits 26. Still, Stalkers get AS in a set which isn't known for a solid ST attack with Hemo being underperforming. -
What to pair with Savage melee and Battle Axes?
Without_Pause replied to Prinny25's topic in Scrapper
I have a couple Savage builds so I like the set, but I find it is the weakest on a Scrapper. Assassins' get AS and Savage Leap doesn't break Hide as it is a pet. Brutes get Fury and DoT loves Fury. Tankers get bigger AoEs. It is end friendly so being able to TP into mobs with two powers would be fun on a Savage/shield, but again, I see no reason to not go any other AT at that point. Savage with /ea or /sr would be an absolute buzzsaw. I have a Savage/rad Brute who is fun, but I'm still trying to talk myself into Rad as I simply prefer Def based armors. Axe wants recharge and the end to pull it off. /ea would be the contender for me here, and I don't think it is close. -
Just an FYI, I've enjoyed my character far more if I leveled them without using a 2x XP booster. I can't imagine using one for a set I have never played.

By no means a 1:1 port, but it is mostly changing of some sets for the attacks, but here's my Claws/ea.

First character: Martial Arts/Energy Aura
Without_Pause replied to arclight.phantasm's topic in Brute
Exemplaring: You'll be fine with exempting down. You get multiple builds and numerous respecs. So if you feel the need to customize, do so. Damage: I don't honestly use that many procs in my attacks. I might have all of one damage proc in an attack. I'll toss in a proc for something like -Res. Since Brutes get so much of their damage from Fury I get why people would load up on procs. I just don't do it, and I solo just fine. Defences: If you are going around and trying to complete content for the sake of content versus pushing the envelop in terms of what you are trying to solo, EA's defenses will be fine. More than fine really. You really need to take on larger and decently higher level Psy based mobs before I would consider it an issue. Recharge: Do I need Hasten? MA is ST heavy so if you are going for Hasten it is more for a specific attack chain. I've never done MA to high enough level to know what that target recharge is. The two clicks for EA tend to recharge quick enough although I default to using Hasten even with Claws. -
Homecoming player count: a year in review
Without_Pause replied to macskull's topic in General Discussion
At one point I had a lowbie grab enough enhancements to fill all of their AH slots and more from my bins as I figured they were just sitting there not really getting used anyway. The amount of actual on-hand enhancements is honestly really small. If I get a purple drop, I craft it, and sell it. The AH is more and more becoming my 'storage.' I switch around names if I feel like keeping it. I think I have room for one more switch. I'm continuing what might be my biggest purge yet. I don't think I can get down to 30 on my main account though. I could get lower than what I will likely end up with, but some characters are being kept because I like something about them too much compared how much I might like their performance. This is about as content as I have been with my roster. -
I've done the spreadsheet comparison, and it's rather embarrassing how KM got past test. Based on animation times, KM should be one of the hardest hitting sets.

Why are most builds dropping Siphon Power when they get Fulcrum Shift?
Without_Pause replied to ItsDecoy's topic in Corruptor
You'll take SP from my cold dead hands. Outside of AVs, it is a rather effective way to pull when need be based more on a hunch/experience than actual data. I think 1-sotting for Acc is perfectly acceptable. -
No secondary for one AT should be better than another AT's primary. They might be equal in a few aspects, but that's essentially it.
