Without_Pause

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.

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.

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. Note, I more than double your regen. |MBD;23757;1386;1848;BASE64;| |G8xcYKwKeHMO5cToYFAN3FEqb0e0mqj86ogAR5oq3alSr6qy69/NB8cT204bsSHUrFq| |ydPW1DgtIV7fp+YwwV6n+1N6qeu99OnfN6mpEzEsGBWML8NzforUs0e5saCZhJSLM0k| |yASSHMsbuVAZW4kxEGnlh60iK9aqrdn5AvFKkXQv67wL/4m38m3fxT7LZAsBB40nd4F| |Xm/UYh3O2LvxqWS37eQw4kWwZ9ovEu1xcZvIaKXjARFYD5hvMsLxHnY5Vvjg1S89glq| |7f7mxlFCnEJLHCVPSN+psHB98T2bmfDa+e6Frfqw3+wN4p+1fmGuSKyUIdnUOF7qlEO| |fqGx+vuUAXTCgs0IMtB5UixUZhFXaSnGCWx+weVk/wTuLwX3fG0vvtD+WPhquWDtbvH| |V8aBB0qeN3VmfO+Yivb6EZSFXhw9xj+9mobCaWfqp3hb7RSnV7PV1cMaz6mhh6i/9Y4| |zHVdHbyavMb0Hc091N+IeD12fjN/UjI8bI+D1Gjf15jqjS/frDyc5q+SgX7CirH6rFV| |KvjO4GdB6Bd90ZffwkUvnn3FA7U+djG5eOqpx07wDW9xlVNf9pn/SdO9IV/q2bPr/1t| |ppljN/0f3rzpKB/WlMCldlYOfNz1sRlHEXbRKHCYBipC4TBrINAfxtvWKcV5b3EZw+y| |7LXkel7/+bugGwaQj3I5dPgCLkfvk0KEnuqwvm273UDEkTMOIKqjpk/JclvuAGJkOBr| |E5h1oZLi8VX58G5rb7FfRD06CnaTlNUHYfQI/9E2wMGL/UX5YnfzZp9mwfmAQyxTzAv| |YIx9gX5PVRCT/BztbTulvNJL+utnFC3NplWRjwIavjuWbwIjrPrwbdjI4c+NsVes/Rs| |YKcdIq3Y58XwnTbsfGSW9STw3vBWZ6AxMBPMRZhiLcq1IipgrKJvIHK/i2625EbeeuU| |UfVm8t9u0YF3dWwUQJhy3FrAIYITtYNm/xo6Zbe6yPVgpAYtqykqNzRuQsdlQWIqJFo| |e4Ybi3mFfgQfKtdYPFyMXOUunGwqoFP6yL7vbPnx8maAdgI9powdHrY0BlBeHbTWpkE| |TAoYI+8zmQggnTZZPm3x27UBGCnHSF5QOm/lHG4FNHg+DH081OuK/gV3TF1pgNInK+y| |RTG1AielseXOfnAWvc4GJYPYvOBfTqfQEdFKwXq3y6I6VMvKL2+EhiIb3KKXVvtZ4u/| |HHAHdPmejeiDUfHPIsodZCNsVyCbgUMEaiOEua+3xN4BTYN0JG+MT9MsT6QK83DRmwE| |exHod+Z6pzE5TcbEj5g0WyQahhgQ2CXcCtoDurXv/dz75c22FXGgDGYv+ZB4kuWMpx/| |r/O6EuF+P9HTt31CT0/LL4fG4RDLeOaBZF4BrwRGSCevBjrtd/4DvpGA154xu4MxCmQ| |4KUmBzEdmmJRY2g4breyPbqure9+0B8CGW/MQbBi3IZpbACNYviHeKcYOSW2w0febpp| |7TZhSgNpp1l2k86Be2no+WLzWhDxhypqjNdFKLdbSoN2ieZIQsnwUnmlsAQyww3AoU0| |/ALkv2lZrgq9Yv1NO0bsAhfLW/yZauWAC0WOAjOywefTGVP6t++uL/H/kAoNRAbj9xF| |Z6Kr3/o7L36BcJ7P8F3pas1H8E/TSXhQvi21TS3PbR3FMKojq/2KCENoTTF7Vgul+Gw| |szyNrBDfhWt3WRv1DPP8Q+6c+d9nP8R+meUIMKVgeu2iAwAhump38qau2OUm/ke8tlh| |YJVwKDY0i251IXDR+tvGCpDCNgoszEepvmvt9GDz8ze4yxjAXZ5yJf9DmsTvcVyGtNH| |98ACyL6fzfLbxaEZr3oBpGZTmGFUzkt1Thx6b0N|

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.

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.

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.

I think 'best' can be rather subjective. I find Scrappers are 'better' when using damage which gets more resisted since they do higher damage with having access to crits. THis only really shows up when dealing with higher diff settings like +3-+4.

Shows you how much I play my level 50. 🤣My point remains, Epic fill in what an AT doesn't already have.

Epics are about giving a character things they don't have access up to that point. Sents already have snipes in their primary.

I didn't assume anything. It is why I asked a question. In the end you asked a non-sensical question to prove a point. Whatever. I'm moving on.

Depending on the mob and diff setting, Lethal damage can be incredibly resisted. I don't suggest soloing DE with Claws at +4x8 on anything outside of a Scrapper. Even then, a sun dial might be required for checking your time. I soloed DE on a Claws Brute even with a lower diff(+2/+3) and I knew the build was sturdy due to how long it took to kill a mob. I would assume the different ammo would counter this to a point. I have a Fire/time Controller. End issues certainly exists, but that's vastly due to Hot Feet. I don't recall any on my Time/rad. It's been ages since I played my Time/dp, but I have been wanting to dust it off again. Its still low level though.

There's nothing about the build which would lead to why there are end issues or damage would be lacking. Was the build simply not really played until it was level 50, or is there something specific about this build versus the one you used when leveling? I would also look at your combat log.

Ouroboros lets you redo things which offer a badge. Turning off XP doesn't truly let you do everything as there are missions with decision points in them, but I also highly don't recommend trying to do 'everything.' At least on blue side because as someone who solos a lot, there's a ton of wasteful missions blue side. A ton. More so when you factor in doing radio missions to simply level up and do bank missions to get temp powers instead. Ouroboros feels like the greatest hits version of doing missions. Doing that and the zone related arcs are what I would focus on.

IIRC, the original Iron Man rules were created for Diablo or some similar game. I believe EverQuest had similar rules as well. It just fell under the general label of playing hardcode. It had nothing to do with the comic book character. The original Diablo was easy enough to where numerous variants were added in from the fan base. LOL was Living Off the Land so you couldn't use stores. Naked was playing without armor. A number of people would even combine variants, see Naked LOL.

They can't even figure out Regen and KM.

So you asked a question you knew the answer to. Got it.
