Well you took the next step. Make it a mix of lethal and toxic, and then focus that for the build-up clone or add an additional toxic dot for the next few attacks ala fiery embrace etc.

I want the secondary effects to focus on -damage. Sure, we sort of get it as an option in Dual Pistols/Chemical Rounds but I don't think we have a blast set where it is the main focus, so that would be nice.

Need to swap the Apocalypse Damage for Acc/Dam, you will hit ED caps even without the Damage enhancement and your acc is low in it (Blaze.) EDIT: whoops, didn't look at your advanced totals until after the post

Which Alpha? Cardiac Core could be nice, getting you closer to resist cap and I wanted to ask if you kept Infiltration on all the time, etc. I suppose I could go Super Jump with Combat jumping, replacing Celerity Stealth with a Karma kb piece. Maybe steal the Kismet slot for Hasten 2 slotted with +5s? You have so much defense debuff perhaps the Kismet won't be missed.

How would you build it now?

Spirit Drain is empty here, what do you have in there?

Still doing this I notice.

Yep that was it, was saved with it on when it was posted in the OP. If you turn it off however, there is severe endurance issues with this build. I tried putting a max Cardiac on it and it still won't be enough. EDIT: Turned off Infiltration, turned off Stealth, still not enough, and those contribute to def so you'll want those on

Admitting your mistake is always a good first step. Hope you have a fun weekend.

Oh, the second half of my sentence wasn't read, perhaps that is where the confusion comes from: "The description of it is listed in rule 1 and not rule 3, which is notably different from rule 2."

...wish Winter set pieces weren't so insufferably difficult to get also for that matter

I didn't say it invokes rule 1, I said your statement should read "~the power becomes 'instant-cast' per rule 1." The description of it is listed in rule 1 and not rule 3, which is notably different from rule 2.

Something about this build screws with Mid's Reborn - it's listing nearly -10k defense for types and 2K regen.

Man, I wish we could get Alkaloid in this build somehow, I really do tend to use it fairly often to help teammates. Even if we drop PBU and keep the set under Tactics, we don't have the slots for Alkaloid - either that or we lose the defense bonuses from the Gaussian's set if we steal the slots. This also has pretty much as many Winter pieces as you can get and you can only attack with Pistols and Bullet Rain if you run a Positron's TF. Only movement power is at 49. Downsides and upsides to this. Would love to see this build in action if you have the means.

Reported again for good measure.

Didn't they just get done buffing damage in Electric Control?

This is the mistake you are unfortunately making on your third entry. It should read: Since the enhancement is slotted, the power becomes instant-cast per rule 1.

Why wouldn't you want any of the procs?

Is it just me or is it weird to not have any Achilles Heel pieces in either power set all designed for defense debuffs?

Seems to have a 70 ft Power Range even though it's a 15 ft PBAOE radius. It accepts range enhancements that buffs the Power Range (70 ft) only. Perhaps copied and pasted to them from Mastermind version?

As you probably guessed, the pic is from a Defender - but I wanted to just clarify that upfront. Yeah it's probably a bug. It does accept range enhancements so it isn't just a text issue.

I don't understand what the Power Range means in this regard. I understand the 15 ft radius under Effect Area but this is a self toggle PBAOE. It accepts range enhancements and it only affects the 70 ft Power Range.

Yeah the build was set to offensive adaptation so I was basing it on that,; yeah you are probably right. I was just going off the pic.

Strictly glancing at your totals window in the pic, doesn't it seem that end use is kinda crazy vs recovery? Wouldn't you drain fairly quickly?

Found this one but is there a way to see in Mids how the pets turn out regarding defense and such? If I don't have to resummon often then I am less concerned about endurance. Thing is, this build has no MM attacks which means less damage for the pets too due to the changes. Mastermind - Mercenaries - Force FieldJay.mxd
