How can I tell which which powers are affected by the gauntlet buff and which are not? The game seems to tell me in info if the target cap has been raised, but how do I do tell about the radius?

Yep, my Ill/Dark troller just sits (well, hovers) back & does her nails, while her pets annihilate everything in their path! Most fights she only has time for one nail...;)

Holy necropost batman!

In terms of just straight teleporting the most, a dominator will actually be the best. Feral charge can be up for use again in about 3 seconds.....it feels so so great and fun to play.

Primaries are more powerful than secondaries. Just storm summoning happens to have a fair amount of damage in it for a buff set.

Shouldn't the endurance drain in electric blast or the -tohit in dark blast be better on a corruptor then?

But defenders get better modifiers right? And corruptors get better damage...but not if its a secondary apparently? Do you see why I am confused when it comes to storm summoning?

November 30, 2022

Does anyone know the reasoning as to why storm summoning does more damage on a defender compared to a corruptor? Is it a bug like sleet doing the same -res on a defender and corruptor?

WTF is kings day?! The idea of kings and queens in this day in age is rather sickening.

Ummmm its the day when Christians remember the day that the three kings visited Jesus.

@Xandyrso SR or ICE for the primary and then DB or Claw or Kinetic Melee seem to be what most people think is weakest and is least popular. Whatcha think?

November 26, 2022

Can....can I make the build with whatever 'bad' powersets you choose? This seems like a fun challenge.

Ok i have reworked the water/dark/dark build. There isnt a great deal of change in all honesty but i think this might be better:

- Only 38.43% R def but my hope is the - to hit will make up for it.

- Capped S/L res

- Hasten isnt perma, but i have slotted 2 Force feedback + rech, one in Hydro Blast and the other in Water Burst. Both powers will be used enough to hopefully make up for hasten

- For Destiny i'm thinking either Ageless or Clarion, depends on my end usage.

Why are you doing a hover build on a toon that is designed to use soul drain? Isn't it better to build to stay in melee?

I get having it done early, especially if you're getting someone else to do it and there's a queue... but even if the lights are up early, there's no need to turn them on until after Thanksgiving. And definitely stop leaving them on after January 1st.

Isn't it traditional to leave them on until January 6th (kings day)?

Here is an example of what you are looking for. I suggest messing with it in mids to get more recharge while not sacrificing the defensive numbers.

This hits a lot harder since the Sonic rework, and still stacks -Res debuffs (albeit differently). Cold/Sonic feels great to solo with. I'd say it's competitive with Cold/Water now, though it's not a 1-1 comparison.

The problem with cold/sonic for solo is that it lacks a way to heal yourself. So when you are running solo missions at +4x8 with bosses and you take damage (and YOU WILL take damage) you have no good way to recover.

Compare this to water and you get a decent way to heal yourself that is part of your attack rotation anyway with dehydrate. You can also slot it for better heals or damage via procs as you wish, including a -res proc.

Water also has some very light mitigation with two knockdowns that you can also use for FF recharge procs. Shockwave doesn't work as well in sonic.

Yes, sonic is better soloing after the change, but it's not as good at soloing as water.

If I had to have only one defender to bring to every TF, I would definitely choose cold/water over cold/sonic. There will be times that I find myself alone in a pack of mobs and when that happens I want to be able to live and heal myself.

I know that soloing at +4x8 with bosses+elite bosses is a ridiculous standard for a build that 95% of the player base dont care about, but being able to solo cimorrea missions like this is what I want out of any of my toons. Even at +2 or +3 x8 you are still going to have situations where you want to heal in order to comfortably continue and I appreciate having a heal at those times.

I believe it should be similar to how feral charge works. Which works like:

On 1/10/2022 at 2:36 PM, Bopper said:

Ok, so quick test seems to show the following:

The main target will not proc twice. Since it's an execute power effect, there seems to be code/logic that knows not to repeat proc rolls on a target that's already been checked. However, the main target will use ST formulas while the "splash" targets will use AoE formulas.

The main target will use a ST formula with 10s base recharge and 1.167s cast time. Assuming no slotted recharge, the main target will have a 65.14% chance with a 3.5 ppm proc, and the hecatomb will have a 83.75% chance to proc.

The targets hit by the AoE will use a AoE formula with 10s base recharge, 0s cast time, and 20 foot radius. Assuming no slotted recharge, the "splash" targets will have a 17.95% chance with a 3.5 ppm proc, and the hecatomb will have a 23.08% chance.

The Force Feedback proc will have a 18.6% chance to proc on the main target and 6.5% chance to proc on each of the "splash" targets. If you want to know your chance to proc, it would be:

1 - (1 - 0.186)*(1 - 0.065)^(n-1),

where n is the number of targets hit. For 5 targets (the max), it would be 37.8%

Also on corruptors in mids you can turn off the Scourge button. It is a power located in the bottom close to health and stamina.

Lets start with a Basic statement. Blasters have a ranged damage scalar of 1.125. Corruptors .75, Defenders .65. Simple.

Remember that this is a guideline and not true for every single power.

Time seems SO good on Defenders… and is just overall a cool set. Do you know how it holds up in the new HM content?

I just started playing again a few days ago, I have not tried the new HM content. I am working on my ice/savage/psionic dominator first to get a really tight build for him first and that is the first character I will try the HM content with I think (or I'll get impatient beforehand and just use my kintank ^_^). I'd imagine time works very well on the HM content for the reasons I mentioned in the post here.

For the Dark/Fire combo, why would you suggest that on a Defender over a Corruptor?

With the changes to tar patch on a corruptor vs a defender the combo works a bit better on the defender because you get more slots after reaching softcapped def that you can use to focus on procs and recharge. Scourging rain of fire is always fun though.

59 minutes ago, StriderIV said:

I’ve also looked at Kinetics, but on a Corruptor. What blast sets would you pair with it?

On a corruptor, I really don't think there is a better pairing than fire/kin. My Fire/Kin corruptor is hands down my favorite character. Walk up to a mob fulcrum shift--->inferno is death god level destruction. Almost all of fire blasts damage is frontloaded and that is very important on a kin. Electrical and water blasts pairings are tied for second I would say and then either radiation blast or pistols coming next.

I never liked Corruptors on live. I played villains. Why do villains want to be healers? Still have issues with this.

But.... In trying to find the best Dark Dark Dark Soul Dark Darkity BLACK Darkness I am slowly settling into a Dark^3 Corruptor.

I am used to healing myself as I play a lot of Dark. So using the team heal is not a big stretch, and I try not to be the "team medic" If you are near me, fine. If not, sucks to be you. The -regen on the target is sweet. Very vampire. Give me your life.

The to hit debuffs, and style (for me Disorienting so I can Soul Drain for power!) are just better on the Corruptor. It seems to me.

But generally speaking (from a quick glance) It seems like when the fight is hard a Corruptors damage is better than a Blasters. They have the power to debuff regen, or res, or to hit, and the Scourge mechanic to finish the job. Am I missing something?

Of course I have a Fire Blaster. With no defenses. No nothing. Except Fire. Roasting everything works 95% time.

For a triple dark character min/max wise a defender is likely best, but I'm glad you are enjoying the corruptor. Triple dark defenders and corruptors are fun because you can do a lot of interesting things with the powers in those sets:

dark pit+oppressive gloom+stun proc'd dark consumption, tar patch+soul drain+blackstar, dark servant (Fluffy!)+petrifying gaze, lots of fun proc interactions, etc.

Those three powersets are great on their own, but work really well together mechanically and thematically.

good point on the solo front, not sure what i’d pick for a mighty all rounder then. maybe my kin/sonic in a moustache and tall hat?

My recommendation for an all around solo and TFs defender would be:

Cold/water - better on a corruptor, but so much easier soloing and exemplaring on a defender

Time/pistols - with time you can power boost+radial clarion incarnate+farsight your and your team's defense and +tohit into the stratosphere. You also get a good -resist power. A pistols build will give a lot of recharge/proc damage/mixture of both and is thematically fun.

Dark/fire - this is a tried and true powerhouse. With the dark miasma Tar Patch change the defender version is better and Tar patch+rain of fire is a thing of beauty.

X/Sonic - sonic is very good on a defender, but I can't recommend it for this because it just doesn't solo well compared to the others. If I had to, I'd go nature/sonic I think for this.

Kin/X - no, be a corruptor and become a death god.

November 18, 2022

With the NPC attack type changes, does this mean that s/l defense softcap is no longer an effective strategy for soloing all missions at +4x8?

I should instead do melee+range?

November 18, 2022

Ok, I think this is much better! We get sleet and icestorm now! With the changes to arctic air I don't think we need world of confusion unless we are trying to stack confuse with another dominator/controller in higher star games. This has the abiilty to kind of deal with the extreme end drain of arctic air at lower levels as well. Our s/l resistance is severely diminished though, we essentially traded that for sleet and icestorm (worth it in my opinion). We also went damage for our alpha and confuse for interface (just for elite bosses really or the aforementioned 2-4 star TFs).

@Frosticusis this how you like Call Hawk? Or is there better slotting?

OK, vague.

How early can an Ill/energy Dom (a) perma PA, (b) preferrably without hasten? (And since I'm asking how early I'm also ignoring incarnates.)

While it doesn't feel like it's AS reliant on PA as Controllers, it's still a cornerstone, I think.

Without hasten or incarnates? I am pretty confident in saying that this cannot be done without heavy and informed usage of FF procs. I can get you recharging PA in 65 seconds without an FF proc. With FF procs? I'll try....but it isn't necessarily going to be reliable, nor will the build make sense. I don't play illusion or energy assault or even dominators in the 'normal' way. You are also probably going to be knocking enemies everywhere so I assume you want this to be for solo use.

(OK, no, nevermind I tried for 30 minutes. Even with an attack chain of sniper blast->power burst->power blast->power push its not going to work out, if sniper blast FF doesnt proc everything falls apart and it has about a 30% chance of failing. Just take hasten and add FF procs and call it a win.)

I have fought several times to get that power to be worth a damn. Absolutely everything sucks about it and no amount of slotting makes it worth it in my opinion. 😒

It gets better if you take oppressive gloom and then stack with a stun proc.

And now I am rebuilding my Corruptor in an attempt to saturate Soul Drain. So.... Throw Dark Pit (mag 2 disorient), run in while running Oppressive Gloom (mag 2 disorient), Soul Drain, Blackstar. Then joust back out to cone range and start burning.

Oh, you already mentioned this. I should have read further.

You can add a stun proc in dark consumption too. Things get better with electrical blast for the stun procs, but it's not worth it.
