Black_Assassin

Has anyone experimented with slotting options for soul extraction? Currently my pre-respec build has maxed recharge with some of the pet uniques, however looking at the detailed description they all have a hold power. Maybe worthwile putting 2, 3, or 4 hold procs? Would mean it's hard to rearrange the pet uniques though and max basic enh stats 🤔🤔🤔

wait, TG has a chance to proc ToE +END on each target hit? Big If true

have you considered turning on stacking buffs? means there is so much less screen clutter

desperately trying to follow wtf is going on here, but I'm completely lost 😄 any chance of a breakdown of what is going on here? Clearly some kind of binds/macros to change forms and activate powers? is there somewhere all your binds/macros are listed and what your combos are as im stumped. I want to spice my shade up with this new toggle supression stuff, but at a loss as have been a human only player since live and not all that up on this fancy switching forms stuff.

Vanilla take would be Fire Blast of course. You have access to strong AOE with Fireball and big heavy hitters with Blaze and Blazing Bolt. The cherry on top is having the strongest nuke in Inferno by a sizeable margin. Flares is also very good as a fast strong damage per animation filler power. Meshes will with many melee based secondaries.

The question then becomes what is the best non-AE farmer for outdoors missions? Off top of head I can think of: Fire/Kin troller SS/Fire Brute Spines/Bio scrapper? Elec/SD scrapper Either Unai Kemen or Harvey Maylor

Or Old school Harvey Maylor Demon farm?

Ah levelling build, that makes more sense 🙂

Just out of interest, what is the double +tohit proc in beta decay for? If you are debuffing their defense already through ground zero and you have tactics that seems unnecessary almost. Is that 2 slots you can reallocate or lean into more and drop tactics?

I find it almost impossible to control airborne movement (excluding flight) if i dont have CJ. Its just pure guesswork at that stage

Do you run Combat Jumping?

If you have a keyboard with a numpad, you can also just bind everything to the numpad instead of having clickable macros. I only have the 1 MM which is a necro/dark. Necro isnt the best DPS since the T3 Lich is more a control vs a damage pet, but it is a very safe inevitable steamroll combo. Its also pretty darn cool from a thematic sense as you can live out the full Mannimarco fantasy of an army of darkness. This is my build

Ah well this is where combat jumping comes in. Its the fastest way to move around between mobs. Its quite easy to control if you are using a mouse to look around (i am aware some people move around using q/e, so if this is you i can see why SS is more cumbersome) This is why i tend to ignore stealth, irrespective of the radius, because i will pretty much always have SS so can always be invisible with stealthIO in sprint. yeah i know, was more attempting to say that if you are taking super speed for the free stealth on a travel you would be taking hasten (and vice versa, taking hasten then might as well grab SS). I think i miss-worded that a bit. Anyway, its different strokes etc etc. i think this is also just a flavour thing. I always taken hasten as it is such a massive power boost it is pretty gimpy to not take it. Especially if you are attempting to leverage procs. (my build is just crammed full and it wouldnt work very well without hasten. Yours not so much as you barely have any, although having said that, you would still massively benefit from it) well, you currently have 3 pools taken. So i guess the question is how are you playing this? If you are wading in, you might want tough/weave to help you live more. If you arent, best bet is to get hover which is far superior for combat that fly is. Other options are going deeper into a current pool or pivoting to something else. Have you tried sorcery? you would get another resistance steroid to use with meltdown. Or you can flesh out your epic pool. Options are there, it depends on how you play/want to play

I see no benefit of stealth over CJ when you achieve the same functionality by slotting a stealth IO in sprint. Basically drop Stealth and take CJ instead and that also frees up a slot which you dont need the end redux since CJ is virtually free for endurance costs. Also why no hasten? If you take that, you get access to Super speed which combined with stealthIO makes you invisible. for reference, this is the direction i took my rad/rad. I went full buzzsaw, and rely only on the secondary to keep me alive, focussing more on pumping damage and relying on the team to patch survivability. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1410;683;1366;HEX;| |78DA55545B4F1351103E67BB05E90D4A0B14A1B48542B7B7057CD3C43B90203421F| |0039A0DDDD6D5D23694078D3FC4DFE0A3FE03E3AB78F901BE69A25C8A3EFA8075BA| |F39D163669BECECC377366BE39BBA5176B816A75E38190A1C775ABDD2EEFD98D23A| |761D7BD25ABE6EC8BDE334CBF84F29777AD46CDAE98BB56C5B18E9C66A3FC88F28E| |92FDF89A5DB51B6DFB0AE1E1E141F350F8769ACDBAB9D7B2ED4AC0FDBB6D5B2DA75| |10BBAC686537B4AF9353F5BF59E39BDDE72F6CD7EE19DB6532ED151F6E1CB187594| |A29FDF10EAE94AF1491762551737BF329EF4829283BAC849D7A9998C7A11B8CC38F| |9D7E3628092A44A92C75C69E80B5030E9C6B1C6789FECB82EDE6685F02049785E73| |304895BCE84DF77EE60A4B1F8105AE9419E20A19540C192CB73BD0F01B762EE5C95| |C1D11A7141CC1319E110CE2C3603E0C14C5406744F62BB21FE400C801904320CFD3| |9941906510C785807FA8D2287AF28EFEE4C6C77E014F18C74F81678CD173C429398| |CCADE705CB0D8EF69B0084D0D3B07358A5063196ABC235D234AD74891C90BD4EB04| |DA1113339C3949CE2930B5A9099E2A7629DC72B12D2685A9976935C8B4E6E5DBF28| |F373227D84E4AE025FB93DF18CF2979465D8C9959AE381B07CE31CE25804946496D| |C555AFF12E3D629CEA24541389DB9A2B71EA0EF02E0F9EC2454B77B46B827428795| |E25CF83B4F00AC2C46023290D35D3D8E305252FAA66166F71F03B496CA8FD18196E| |236B00F37C6CF639F664F009B932D9195DFCA0E4BC4ACE6F32B970C0EA172CE99E5| |058C77257395EC4B23DA48DA956664E31D9BC47A6EEE9A34EA415455AC15E57A2C0| |31C66759F745EFBD6CDDEEAC3EF824F46C927C5B1F7C08E80DE2367674E523A7747| |9E7BEC1BB2F24AE5BE79AD360E7C515A794291E487B225D557E5FCBC0D7602B4200| |67F7436E7085BBFF018CAFC48E| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Would it be possible for Dull Pain on a tank regen port to remove the HP cap for tanks whilst it is active? That would help beef them up a bit and boost the regen numbers too

We do this in our group on TB, usually before/after iTrials. But the method is to just right click and press G (i think?) and you can just spam super fast.

If i'm on one of my sentinels, probably still quite often XD

I notice that I am being missed as rez fodder

I guess if you are heading after challenging hardcore content, the sentinel isn't necessarily the best choice. When I played my sents it was mostly for fun, no SRS BSNS here, so I don't mind too much that the D3 isn't the best option out there. Just feels fun because of all the procs dark blast gets access to.

I have a dark*3 sent and its fun as hell, but you seriously need to engage brain to play it. I decided to build it like a buzzsaw and ignore survival beyond basic slotting of the resist shields and getting basic defense from the powers already there. I ended up with 20-22% def to all and that is it. what my build does have though is plenty of PBAoEs and ST attacks with procs out of the wazoo. I guess its kill or be killed, which isn't an intelligent way to play sents, but is is a way to play sents. You realllly have to lean on the Nuke -ToHit debuff and aim to kill everything that is a serious threat within that debuff window. Nuke+PBAoE from Dark (Engulfing darkness?) and Dark Oblit is enough for the little baddies and can mostly sustain through the bosses. The only time i really felt on the edge was a BP mission in one of hte lvl 50 arcs in PI. Albeit was running it at +2x8 i think, so probably a bit ambitious anyway.

Panacea is best slotted in Health along with Miracle and Numina procs. I haven't ever tested Stygian with 0 bodies and a panacea proc, but I do not think it would work that way as it needs bodies to work. Have you got plans for putting actual sets in all the other powers? You will only get so far if you have common IOs in a human only build. Most of your damage on single targets will be coming from your fluffy summons.

It is not a good idea to try to run human only on basic common IOs. Tri-form works better on a budget. Also a basic IO build won't have the tools needed to take an AV down. My suggestion is swap to triform or throw some proper inf at the human only approach. Plenty of those in the search if you need them for inspiration.

I get that, I still have 400-500 WIOs in a base from last years purchase. I would only purchase purely to flip for easy profit or open all up and take the long route of catalyse and sell. I have yet to decide what I am going to do.
