If you're maybe unsure of whether or not a particular archetype/power combo is worth the time... play it on Test for a bit. I do this frequently. You can just set your level, give yourself any kind of Enhancements from DOs to IOs, as well as the most expensive uber godlike sets... and play a few Lv 50 missions, over-world "hunting," etc. This can help you not only decide if X is worth your time, i.e. did you enjoy it, but can help you plan out a build as well. I do this, but honestly, I also have a few characters, (pretty much just the ones I'm only "meh" on and don't like enough to really put effort into), that just "live" there because I don't play often enough to farm enough Inf, (and I can't be arsed to do all these fancy Inf earning things), so not having to worry about Inf is enjoyable for me.

Thank you very much... now just on principle's sake... do I now want to chase down why Storm guy is now 3% ahead of Energy guy? 🤣😂

Thank you. I know about the "Law of 5" but in the monitor it only showed 3x 10% ... unless one of those 20% displays was really just 2x 10% displaying as one value? So, that's what was throwing me off... but obviously you are right and I was inadvertently breaking the Law of 5.

Replaced Superior Defiant Barrage with Sting of the Manticore, and now Storm guy is ahead at 171.25% According to this page Superior Defiant Barrage set gives 10% Recharge speed, but Sting of the Manticore only gives 7.5%. That was the only slotting difference between the two, but thought the Storm guy would be better... apparently I misunderstood something on this page. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Enhancement_Sets

A HAH... I didn't realize that I could put the Global Recharge LotG into those 5 slots, I thought that I had to use different ones... so now I did that, and I'm now at 163.75% ... still 5% shy, but at least I'm closer now.

Oh, thank you very much... I was taking pics with my phone, lol.

I've quadruple checked, these are the same 5 LotG in the same powers, (4 of which say Recharge which I've highlighted), but they're not showing in the Storm guy's monitor <scratches head again>

Well, huh... Luck of the Gambler isn't showing for the Storm guy even though it's slotted in the exact same powers; Combat Jumping, Stealth, Infiltration, hover, and Evasive Manuvers. Ok, slotted Luck of the Gambler; Global Recharge, so now he's at 133.75% The other 4 LotG are also X/Recharge... so now THAT is the same, but the other LotG are not showing up in the Recharge monitor... at least I've got my starting point now.

So, here is a pic of my different Recharge values. My Energy guy seems to be getting Recharge from 5 more sources than my Storm guy. Again, both have the same powers, (other than Primary), and exact same enhancement sets, even in the Primary. The attributes don't tell me the source of the Recharge, just size... so I'm at a loss.

Thank you, definitely not a random Kinetic running by... those values never change; in missions, or randomly fighting outside. The Base Recharge is the attribute I'm monitoring... could be a temp buff maybe... I'll dig into it more later...

Thank you, but I don't have Hasten on either, (frankly any character), of them.

Thank you. Both characters are standing at the Trainer in Pergrine Isle, no enemies are near, only toggles are running, the same toggles. Even when I shut them down the Recharge rates display their same respective values; 168.5% vs 126.5%. I will go through the combat attributes to see what, if anything, is different.

Thank you, and my apologies, but I'm not sure I understand your question? What attributes, and why would they be different? Do Energy Blasters get some inherent Recharge boost?

Hello, folks. I'm having a problem that I can't figure out. I have 2x Blasters, one Storm/Atomic, one Energy/Atomic. Both have the EXACT same secondary, ancillary, and epic power pool picks. Both are slotted the EXACT same way. While of course their primary powers are different, they are slotted the EXACT same way from top to bottom. Yet my Energy Blaster has 168.5% Recharge but my Storm Blaster only has 126.5% Recharge <scratches head> I are confoosed...

I have 146.5% recharge, no Hasten, and I have Perma-Dom. I believe you need at least 122%. I have Dom set on auto-click, and unfortunately since Dom goes away after each log off, when I log in again I need to build it, but after that it just auto-fires every so often, and I'm at Perma-Dom.
