Without_Pause

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.

I don't have an outfit I am happy with yet, but I was also surprised Beach Ball wasn't taken on Excelsior. I'm sure a number of people were mad to find out Waterpark had been taken. That's been a level 50 for me for a few years.

/stone Assassins' would like a word. Hell, just play a /ice Assassin and try to figure out how that sneaks up on anybody.

Curious to know how a Scrapper 'at rest' has 80% Def. I capped my /sr Scrapper in the area of 45%-50%. I went for other stuff after that. Even if I go back and get it to 60% across the board, that's far from 80%.

That's still harmful on a few Scrapper builds. SR doesn't really get the Res to offset the -20% Def. If you are at 50% Def, that's at 30% during the crash which isn't that great. More so considering how long it takes to even get that kind of Def on any build. Rage unlocks at 18. -20% Def at 18? (laughs) Scrappers also have a lower Res cap and again, it would take time to even get that up to better levels. Add in the lower HP and I can see why it would be problematic for some. Now, Rad and Bio would be instant rolls for a number of people. Elec is also great for it, but I prefer Res builds on Brutes.

I look at it more from characters would would be best for 'any map' and I have to say Ill/dark versus a Fortunata would be epic.

I prefer Stone on a Brute, but Axe/stone is still one of the best combos I have done.

The counter point is even a Brute can get a 160% boost to damage from double stacked Rage.

That's a lot of names to keep active. More so considering my guess is they could get those names at a later point 99.9% of the time. Some of my biggest surprises for names have been the ones I get as of late. Hell, I've made 60-70 characters or whatever it is for HC, and there's just one name I wasn't able to get which I'm mad about and that's just because I couldn't get it on a new server. They had it on the server I started on. What happens if they experience burnout and just need a break from the game? Anytime I come back after a break, I delete characters. I would rather play the characters I genuinely enjoy in the time I have to play the game. It's just weird how people buy into what I call 'the economy of someday. ' 'I need this name because someday I might play that character.' Spoiler alert, you didn't. I moved the one character to a new server post name change, and once in a while I would check to see if that name was available on my old server. It took years to get taken.

In the spirit of Iron Man, apparently you are able to come back as a villain. 🤣
