1. Depends on the power and what you are expecting. 2. There's a really good Google doc somewhere, but i can't find the source at the moment. Its by Mac iirc or maybe Bopper This calculator works decently, but you gotta know what type of power to enter for it to spit out accurate info. Akai's Proc Calculator As for storm/cold there isn't a ton of proc opportunities: Direct strike, cloudburst (if it ever gets fixed), maybe hailstones. Maybe a ffb in storm cell* and as mentioned I put a few damage proc in. Cold really only has infrig. Proc out your epic attacks for sure. *ffb procs very consistently upon casting cell. Probably a good choice for speeding up the cold powers

storm cell and cat 5 will both scourge I slot storm cell for acc and damage and then 3 procs . Proc rate is very low, but it is always active so it still adds up. I don't proc slot cat 5

Its a pretty old build at this point, a few things have changed since it was posted. quickest way to get a usable sav/shield build that's up to date will be to jump on the discord

TA is a nice ranged debuff set and hypnotizing lights is a ranged cone. Its only supposed to damage 5 targets in a small area

I like Marine, poison, and if you want to abuse bugged hypnotizing lights, then I like TA.

Probably has geode turned on. Best practice is to double tap it as it buffs you for 30 sec with (base) 100% rec, and 250% reg

No it won't proc well at all. It calls a bunch of powers that each have low proc rates for their associated procs

Ya I ran hide proc in tf on my em/ea. Would just placate into tf get my 2 stacks and then crit fast et+heal. Nice sustain. I prefer it in power crash for maximum damage output, but as long as you aren't wasting it in AS you are good imo.

The best EM is to use 2x fast AS and 2x fast ET for every TF. Hide proc goes in power crash Don't mule AS. Ever. Builders know not to 6pc critical strikes, yet continue to 6pc stalkers guile...

So you aren't using call hawk either? Crazy considering it has the base damage of seismic smash and takes up to 4 damage procs. (Boosted) Rending is the highest base damage pbaoe attack doms get. Iirc it is neck and neck with psi Shockwave which hits an extra 6 targets. Savage already has by far the best dpe of the assault sets, and built out characters shouldn't be relying on the +rech of blood. Use you best attacks people.

In most game play it isn't in the running. But it leverages 2 -res procs well which skews its performance against even cons that live long enough to cycle a lot of attacks while under said -res.

Could you not modify specific mobs to cast a large -damage debuff on themselves when they reach a specific confusion threshold? Thus allowing confusion to still function as mitigation, but bringing its offensive advantages closer to what we see in regular content. I dont feel confusing most advanced mobs is an issue, it's the fact they can wipe each other out so easily.

Stone since geode buff is a notch above. No real holes outside mid ddr, which can be fixed by ageless radial. Also boosts rech and adds proc damage.

Is this more clear with regards to my position?

Please don't. PT and VG are 2 of the 4 key powers in poison. If poison is tweaked I hope VG and PT remain as they are.

Arsenal has cloaking device which means you can just stroll right into most mobs unseen. Once in position you just tp ally your pet in. Extra easy if you put down smoke canister too cause they will start getting confused as soon as the action starts.

I think there are a bunch of reasons and I'm ok with that. Hands down my favorite dom set. I just smile knowingly while discord glazes other sets.

Seems like the mechanics of the poison set remain a mystery to some even after all these years. If you've never read my poison guide please do, it is perhaps the most interesting set in the game. If you have read it, then this shouldn't be a matter of discussion. You just take VG.

For me it's elec blast. Tesla is actually good. Zapping bolt is good. And the nuke is a sapping machine up every spawn. I realky like a t9 /nin build. In that regard my elec/nin is borderline unstoppable. For those that are uncomfortable with that type of play I also liked /rad. It has great debuff protection and i actually prefer the static and predictable nature of the +rech and untethered heal compared to the melee version of the armor set.

It is a small aura around you. Very visually noisy. It only hits 5 targets with a mag 2 stun. It needs acc and also a little bit of stun enhancement to perma stun lvl 54 minions. I took it on my stone/ea to stack with fault (aoe stun),it works well enough in that situation.

You can do that, but I definitely don't. Wall of force is a pretty bad attack by every metric including proc rate. Its best quality is the low level of availability.

Yes, and flashbang. Proc that and ideally proc out an epic aoe attack.

I can't explain your results. Only post my own. For clarity I'm on a defender. A different AT might be bugged? With just 1 proc. Unedited video. Over 9 spawns: 2/7, 2/12, 5/8, 2/8, 3/8, 3/12, 2/9, 3/10, 1/12 = 26.74% proc rate (close enough to the expected ~30% that I'm satisfied)

Ya, no, that's not how shoal works. Run some tests, what you are saying isn't possible. It can't have an 80ft range, 20ft radius and 90 deg arc. Its super apparent when you try it out that it has a low proc rate.
