well TIL! What a stupid mechanic XD

I thought the heal was a global proc?

I have never noticed it not spawning if I select an appropriate body. there are always times it won't spawn when i select an inappropriate body, such as one that I know I defeated some time ago (risk of disappearing) or one that despawns on death like ghosts. I guess its just one of those things that you need to keep a track of when you see its cooldown coming back up. If you are in the middle of a spawn you can be sure there'll be a fresh dead body soon otherwise be careful!

Good that you tested, if you don't like it then that's cool too. we just got different ways of piloting the same ship right? 🙂 This is my current set up just so you can see what im basing my style off: I have enough accuracy in sunless mire that it will be my reliable opening buff (assuming no eclipse, which will go first instead) Then I can hit mire to boost my next 3 hit AOE rotation (and -res the $targets) then its DNE>DND>GE changeling style which all hit back to back to back super quick. Its then just mopping up bosses really.

I run a changeling with a 6 damage proc gravitic shotgun. I personally don't see any benefit to slotting it for stun duration since your goal is to blow them all up as quick as you possibly can. base recharge with the occasional FF +rech proc per mob, GE is up at the beginning of every spawn. With 6x procs (90% chance of firing) you have a power that does roughly 400 damage to each person hit. that vs just a stun that you can eventually mez a boss with, just doesnt seem so attractive. just 6 slot it for damage procs and blow up people

Post a screenshot of your current enhances, I can log in and send across some attuned IOs to help fill the holes 🙂

I would mirror Lauci here on going PB first. They are self contained and therefore (IMO) easier to pilot. Once you got the fundamentals down, you can try a 'Shade and come join the dark side 😈 On slotting : use the money you have to fund the important global procs as attuned variants so you can slot them early as possible. Use your spare influence to make more influence. some more reading for you

slotting for carrion creepers should be all 3 TAoE procs and the immob proc. Then ACC/DAM/RECH to achieve it perma with hasten. Think mine is something like Rag triple +5 and something else I cannot recall. Probably Winter set triple catalysed

Also, you get the coralax pet too which did 24302 over 5 summons on the 1 run. So that was 8% of my total damage. So the APP contributed 10% overall. Would potentially be more if I swap the two -res procs in spout (rely purely on them in freezing rain) and put two damage procs in. Would be interested to see if Earth mastery can contribute a similar total damage out put with say this slotting

According to the parse: Nado had 19050 base damage (for some reason isn't showing the number of activations) Spout down at 6834 On my build nado has 17.73s cd and spout 51.86. so depending on my clicking etc its probably about 2 nado's for every 1 spout upwards to 2.88 if i'm casting perfectly on CD. The napkin maths seems to imply they are actually doing the same damage (6834*2.79=19066). Just cant get many of them out. Maybe I am being harsh on it. Would have to see how much lifting a proc bombed fissure could do to compare.

Yeah, I was so surprised. Just never clicks that its doing damage since I'm not pressing buttons. It was 1 full clear of Unai Kemens first mission the council empire 20x portals one in PI. Was trying to drop WS on cooldown, i think its higher base recharge vs tornado really does hurt it.

Love me some numbers. I did a parse on my Fire/Storm/Levi troller as I was interested in how much my damage was split between my primary and secondary. Was very interested to find out how much heavy lifting the ATO psi damage proc and energy font proc was doing in my Tornado vs Waterspout with no procs. Also Hot feet+arma proc = 25% my total damage Fire cage spam every other attack = 11% of my total damage. Water spout (no procs) = only 2% So now I can proc it out and retest to see how much extra damage I get. Then decide if its worth while to keep that or respec and test say Stone with a proc'd fissure spam. Could not do that without the tool so thumbs up from me b(^_^)b Also Might test proc'd out Hot Feet vs 5x Arma

I did some rejigging in the intervening time and settled on current: Level 6: Orbiting Death (6) Superior Essence Transfer: Accuracy/Damage - IO:50 (36) Superior Essence Transfer: Damage/Endurance/RechargeTime - IO:50 (36) Superior Essence Transfer: RechargeTime/Global Heal - IO:50 (37) Obliteration: Chance for Smashing Damage - IO:50 (37) Eradication: Chance for Energy Damage - IO:30 (37) Scirocco's Dervish: Chance of Damage(Lethal) - IO:50 Level 26: Quasar (26) Armageddon: Damage - IO:50 (43) Armageddon: Damage/Recharge - IO:50 (43) Armageddon: Damage/Recharge/Accuracy - IO:50 (45) Armageddon: Recharge/Accuracy - IO:50 (45) Armageddon: Damage/Endurance - IO:50 Level 20: Black Dwarf Mire (20) HO - Nucleolus Exposure (25) Obliteration: Chance for Smashing Damage - IO:50 (25) Eradication: Chance for Energy Damage - IO:30 (27) Fury of the Gladiator: Chance for Res Debuff - IO:50 (27) Ice Mistral's Torment: Chance for Cold Damage - IO:50 (29) Armageddon: Chance for Fire Damage - IO:50 decided to move the proc to the DMire as, whilst its only a 58% proc rate, im firing it in a group every 6s and its hitting lots of enemies YMMV.

2-3 a second then I clearly need to practice way more XD. Could also be a ping issue, I'm on Torch from the UK, and according to /netgraph 1 in game, im sitting at 200ping. Interested to know your slotting on Quasar. Is that just flat damage, have you got procs in it? I currently plan to Put 5 Arma in (no proc as thats currently in Orbiting Death) I found space for a KB>KD so i can start leveraging it more now. thanks all for the replies, its certainly educational ❤️

OH I see, its just a naming thing i wasnt aware of then. Well I am currently using changeling anyway so that's all fine 🙂 I still not quite sure how GWell isn't being looked at, surely having that in the single target rotation is beneficial? Can house a purple hold damage proc and 4 others and be up roughly every ~7s it is the longest cast time, but only slightly more than dwarf drain (2.07s vs 1.93s) if there is some maths that I've missed out on here, feel free to educate me. The numbers get confusing 😛

What do you mean by the last part about the meta etc? I have been away from the game for some time and in the intervening time period all this hardmode stuff has happened. My only experience of this was a 1* ITF about 2-3 months after that was first released and a standard Aeon. I have decided to stick with Orbiting Death for the time being. I did some manual skimming of half a maps worth of Battle Maiden mission and it seemed that the procs were firing well enough so I just decided to stick rather than twist.

Hi all, I am currently making use of a changeling WS build however am trying to ascertain the usefulness of Orbiting Death. The current attacks that I am using means I am only swapping down into human to fire Eclipse, H-Mire, Gravitic Emanation, and Stygian Circle. I am trying to fit Gravity Well back into my build and the only place I can pull slots from (without affecting my ST or AOE powers) is Orbiting Death. What would be the best way to test to see if it's doing any kind of heavy lifting for me? I currently have it slotted with Arma/Oblit/Scirocco/Erad procs/PvP-Res/50+5 dam New slotting would only be base slot. So either the 50+5dam or the -Res maybe. thanks in advance for any insight you may have on this or if you already know the answer. MF'ing Warshade New.mbd

I was inspired by them back in the day. I played on Union and once sunset was announced I decided to try get my SG as high as possible. mostly solo, I moved my SG from just below Torchwood to eventually 3rd place. This was about 12-13B burned back on Live on my fire farmer in AE and was taken early September, just under a month before Sunset.

Looks suspiciously like the Crazy 88s

Its always been this easy XD

Having spent some time with my storm2 the other night and actually firing off powers to check what they were doing...holy balls chain lightning is poopoo. I have mine slotted with a set of Posi blast and a extra damage proc (i was trigger happy on my respec and put 6 slots in) and it just does no damage. I was on a citadel, and hitting a bobby basic council spawn with the chain doing like 40 damage or something ridiculously low. I then joined a lvl 50 doing a classic Dreck map. Here I got to the point that I mentioned to the team that I felt completely useless outside of my ability to drop freezing rain and -res proc'd 'nado to help the team kill faster. Otherwise my shit just didn't come online till the spawn was wiped apart from the Tank Smashers. We got to the final Dreck fight and he was looking mighty juicy. 3 spawns of stuff to just set up and wipe out. Then an AV sized sack of HP to finally sink my teeth into! Unfortunately I faceplanted as 1 tank isn't enough to manage 3 spawns of aggro and ended up sitting out at least 50% of the fight until someone barrier rezzed me. I think this toon might just be relegated to a for fun only and have a lowered budget. Unless the devs throw some love our way and give us the storm calling that we all know this set should achieve. Also I defo more into the lightning and zapping people side more than the wind and clouds side. Or at least as the animations are at the moment. Especially because Cat5 and the wind summons it produces feels like more than enough wind based stuff.

Yeah, seconding the human only levelling being worse. That has got to be the gimpiest 1-50 journey out there. Cannot think of anything worse tbh XD

Id rather they kept damage the same and just unlocked the power. I want to see lightning crashing all other the place as I spam powers in the stormcell.

Corruptor (Storm Blast - Storm Summoning).mbd This is the new mids version file. Idk if it works or not. thoughts on this as a potential build?
