Optimal Widow ST chain is: Slash - Strike - Follow Up - Lunge - Strike and requires around +180% global recharge. Best chain is: Slash - Follow Up - Lunge - Strike and requires around +270% global recharge. Eviscerate is skippable.

Thanks Captain, sounds a lot like how a Claws Scrapper or a Tri-Form Kheldian plays. I don't think it warrants all the effort.

If a buff makes current choices (like dark mastery) obsolete, then it's arguably a nerf just as much as it is a buff.

The only class we're missing is a true melee/support hybrid. Inherent would have to be something that gives CC protection though.

When you throw around suggestions for nerfs, keep in mind people have spent a lot of time and thought into their builds and characters. Unless there's an absolutely broken combo that hurts other people's gameplay experience, there's absolutely no need to piss off a lot of players with a nerf. Especially if your only reasoning to do so is to "bring it in line".

Our attack chain (blaze-snipe-blaze-fireball-flares) is very recharge-dependent so recharge slightly increases our DPS. It also makes Soul Drain perma, increases the endurance we get from Chrono Shift, and Fireball+Inferno are up more often.

You can run the S/L comic-con farm with it, but it's best in a battle-maiden farm.

Came in to say this, right now you have to choose between Power Boost or perma Soul Drain, lots of people chose Dark Mastery for that reason and would be forced to respec. There's no "Fix". The only change I'd suggest is to rename the power on Soul Mastery so the difference becomes clearer. Call it Soul Siphon.

I churned out this build today and tested it on Justin, focused on maximizing S/L resists while maintaining high overall performance. It can down pylons in reasonable times (About 280 DPS) and farm AE maps on +4x8 w/ Bosses.

Keep in mind that while the -res procs don't stack from multiple casters, they're still -res procs which scale your whole team's damage. So if you do happen to be the only one with -res procs in a team of 8, the advantage is massive.

I remember hearing about that as well. Regardless of whether the two procs stack or not in this specific case, I did fit an achilles into my irradiated ground during my testing. I hadn't initially done it thinking they wouldn't stack. Respec on my Rad/DA today while test is down, grabbed an extra Achilles Heel and parked up next to a Pylon with Power Analyzer open with the IG patch going. Gave a good 20/s to see a consistent pattern and then tossed Contaminated Strike on auto with another Achilles. Only ever got one active stack, and which-ever was the most recent successful trigger was what stayed "on top." Given that, though, it was pretty much Irradiated Ground dropping both procs consistently. A few instances where it dropped for five seconds, and then both -20% procs reapplied again. Whether that's just a stacking issue with Power Analyzer, or what, the Pylon never went below -12%, I'm going to assume it still considers IG as "Me" and only applies the one source. With how consistent IG was though (watched it for six minutes), I think its a safe call to rely on that for both and use that sixth slot in CS for some other proc. Really speaks volumes about Rad vs. Spines for farming, too.

There's a reason AE XP was nerfed, a system that encourages players to run boring content for greater rewards is not optimal for servers with only a 1500 player capacity. Right now AE is not an issue since people aren't really using AE for anything outside of soloing and powerleveling, but before the nerf it was rare to see teams forming for non-AE stuff.

Looks nice Linea! Definitely lots of ways to build this combo due to how flexible and powerful it is. The original iteration of the build had Tough and Weave, but there are just so many nifty powers to pick up and it's plenty tanky enough with RoP and Clarion Farsight for my taste. Right now I'm working on fitting Aim in. So far I'm deliberating dropping Super Speed (and replacing CJ with Stealth) or Distortion Field.

Doesn't Irradiated Ground being a pseudo-pet allow its achilles' -res proc to stack with an achilles' from your attacks? Since it's technically a different caster? Slotting both -res procs into Irradiated Ground seems like a good idea regardless.

Wow, thanks for the graph! It does look like a close one, depending on your build and preference.

Just SD2 and SD1 would be enough.

Power Boost would buff Farsight for extra defense, plus you'd get access to a pet. But it's not worth losing perma Soul Drain for IMO.

Great job! It does seem like your chain is better at the cap, could you check how it compares between +300% and +400%? Like, at what point is one chain better than the other (if at all). Again, thanks for the hard work you put into this!

Running some more tests after placing the -kb io's and reaching near 45% without hover, this build can can comfortably farm s/l AE farms at +4×8. Our AoE attack chain is Solar Flare - Luminous Detonation - White Dwarf Flare. The nice part is how the white dwarf flare generates aggro so they don't run away. Downside is we lose our toggles, but we're also one purple insp away from being s/l softcapped in dwarf form if needed.

Because it's a decision I made on all my characters with the knowledge that it isn't relevant, and there's no way to change it. Agreed. And even if you could change it with Null the Gull, Origins have been established to be relevant for RP purposes only and should remain as such.
