Naturallymorbid

Wasnt dead set on sonic, just wondering what to pair with the Psionic set, ive got a elect and a storm sentinels that im pretty happy with and want something fresh - Fire is a bit boring IMO, that's why i was considering sonic

So i looked at the new patch notes for the beta build, the new Psionic armor looks pretty cool, a little defence, a little res and some nice utility sprinkled in. Overall i think its a set that suit my playstyle, mid-range mostly. So i was wondering what would work with it, and Sonic actually caught my eye but i cant seem to remember the last time i saw a sonic sentinal and i was wondering is there a reason why... the set look solid 2 cones, 1PBaoe and the -res is very nice for both solo and team play, im just wondering if there is an flaw that im missing ( such as lacking damage compared to other sets)

With that im fairly used to but i feel im lacking in tools in certain situations particurally with tougher enemies, a blaster's main tool is their damage while other ATs have other tools, doms and trollers have thier CC, defenders and corrupters have buffs/debuffs, MM have thier minions. what my issue was that it felt lacking, while you can knock out 90% of a mob with your alpha dealing with bosses or other hard to kill enemies can be a real issue, especially when i started going into melee range. ill give you an example: my Arsenal/Savage dom is fairly squishy but even with +4 mobs, in the first 2 seconds of a fight the whole mob is already blinded, confused and under an ice patch, then followed by stun grande and tear gas - the versatility of CC feel more well rounded, while its way slower than blowing everything up, there is particularly no outgoing damage.

As a blaster 😄 with tanks im very comfy

Alright, maybe i gotta try out devices first to get the hang of things at range, then after i get the "blaster mindset" move on to other secondaries. Right now when i move to melee range i feel way to expost having real issues even in group setting to deal with alphas

Like most folks that try out blaster, i like big boom and big numbers, right now im playing a Fire/Atomic blaster which has great damage but the lack of defensive options is a sticking point for me, so maybe im missing something or a certain way of thinking. Aside from dominators and blasters, every AT has defensive powers, but dominators make up for that lack of defensive options with their CC, so nothing actually manages to attack them. Sentinels might be a bit iffy, since the lack of damage compared to blasters makes some prolong fight a bit of an issue but iv'e been spoiled since i use a Storm/Bio sentinel - Storm is amazing on sentinels and the knockdown provides me with that CC i need to solo (in groups it is slow but if a group clears a mob that quickly than your damage doesnt really matter IMO) With blasters i feel like the approach is "blow everything up before it can hurt you", which is fine for group play and some solo play, but i dont think that works with harder content like 8/+3 or +4.

Fair enough. though i found the Cardiac alpha gave me that res i needed + the end reduction is really nice, strangely enough i dont feel like assault is needed on this build the damage is pretty damn decent already. i did move some of the slotting around to be a little more defensive but the build works great able to solo pretty much anything so far (except for carnies, illusion masters are a pain)

So i recently dusted off my "old" Arse/Sav Dom after seeing your build, gonna give a shot when i have the time Would you mind explaining the incarnate powers choice? for example, the melee got me a little confused, regen is nice but wount the others fit better?

its a 40k Themed... Killing filthy xeons is the core of it's lore 🙂 But why Rikti in particural? how are they different from any other faction

would chain lighting be a better proc?

So iv'e been having a blast on my Elect/bio and i though i though i'd give Storm a try for the first time. So after hitting level 30 and putting some basic IOs in it, for solo its amazing! with group less so because of the set up time, but the damage and overall control it gives is amazing, even at these levels i can solo 5/+1 pretty easily. So i'd love some advice on slotting and addition powers, mainly focusing on solo content. Defensively its a little lack since im planning on using offensive adaptation. As far as epic i went with Cold for CC |MBD;23766;1461;1948;BASE64;| |G9VcYCwKbGNL6BfTZ3QwaEoj80M9BKWuCvHCs1Fstz+ET4dQzDZR+em5TZj/TwL0oOM| |IXY2cWbJ09bUOC0hXm1pVlJ58X+YovFc5ou2aabQ0WIBnf/9pLU3cORkhI9RugJw8mg| |nBXoCp+DcApO7cyQJ6AmHqzFW7zqh5XwWEqmxdG3VeVrYy8Mh+2uugN3+7CRQCaojec| |B5WRf7fKMSHPbBWw5CZP7eQwsYWAn+h4XX65HEDVkh1DQkJZgG9gTzK74nzdp1tY9gg| |Jfa/FxTtUHPmlZSwEoO2+FeKcPALpXDC9qztglWE4xDeouJ9ANtfZHzZr+t0F1fokIR| |2Hk8KyT3/Udn8EUEhmVTdOnuWx0XM6h2tm8XmRXZSnJyf3UGIy6P1nA2u3WuTvBgwzZ| |JHaZwlPzo6eB2Hfcno8XS0AXLCdPtrOzpnidvZeEouHIn5PoreNSLNC01Jf68sWpCrs| |+X2ZPvI4vJt5TS+9bpm+LhO1NoSrN0Cjvs+7H40OxGw+q9eaWcW+Dgr9yFi3T/uQ2Wm| |0Ve1fJ7cqIQTsOBr9bWPS2aDgm+FSVg+WF9XgtBgoffahtMNLZo/dZf2w4pPXHcP/oC| |1MKMTEX7jJ0JlLcyI/bqu+pOo9gWPBEXYlzwaKMERa0LAWrSEjEK/d3kLeqNqa7Ea9g| |Z1rxwThkni4MUDSuwVRXkKl0emTqEist1XYlYdGGKxO5f19vyl87dKZXPMejh/76HjQ| |JEzymS4jkUux2t4Q1vVNp03EP4GS5s6HQkjWmp2DRRni7cW/hc7+AEVo6+r4pVC3PEw| |k1N06lhvnYw7p6dUuGVR0NFXzM3wcvLOkkN7GLjCYt0oOfclxklye7AiYQMtirgQJqj| |ucIstrpyOO3kGL4NWwOMyk5RFBwbYFSwaMAIgWzQl1NWLmhUs5fZ6xB0sntDCDGydlQ| |Mpp366CGSILp0BAXfD0pXfwHjeNhO7T8TlkCcAW9g2C7nXyLRXJI2RVqg1Nq1TwLoDY| |5i2sC5QyHlzAwwNAF2AF95DX7UksFjqacBxEcAhRVk/DWnREe288/OBK2xxhXg+2XiA| |KWrd4gWFETYFhwaMY1MywqmqgH+fUuqcUh0APGz7NGjUG5HodgOlhjAykwHjGNnwb8A| |IIxf+CT/oa7ntGdelORh4DnlFlnoJv9/73D8Q/W70P0GFr0NhRnEOYoXmFWjO+iO0YN| |8qKwUrOTc5RqnveezIqoTAzrLNiAuulPRnSqKUWaYRJjZHhizUzj4tvcX2KF2eJHFhg| |K3BmEFt26TBio6sKZyFYQzhZL+g54DFUu/Euq79LYp01Kp0mV56oWGIAYJbwa0DExhQ| |MGK9Ojk6LZpCHvgALpY6t+PQ4rtx+JOaWzZJWSQwwq5m0UB29D+6prfA/LqY6xOfKjD| |gweKJIQs8b5xFA44XriPM85ynI0Af2CtnIVsvblwyGVd187GrRCxJJgenPHhQB8ZZII| |CdbfKFiij42i4JCkNsCg4FhwaYqwL3aP/ITn9Zup06UsSgyFcmImXClinJ0dv3/Twq3| |IewOn4g4C6L6z1aDjH5A+wZimuLiBv8GHoGbIFZWzR7DlRw60JzBv7W8hTopJtVJ4Xd| |Xndu6fLr4KLVsrnbZ2QN90RXnVv63QK9GL2sR3jWIaXagBuL2+26vog2GEqhhs2EkRp| |FnIe8cEY8u2RVw7a6rY46kzlQST1yS7AmbY+7XVyKkRdSMQcv0k/ghedFSl3az7mMFw| |Mrc1XZmdJiZY5m8LPKqfA0tEl2nD/N11C5QqzC7gWjOIW/TXXEf8bzrzCf5Va+zJb/8| |5qp7piKfXDD7DTI/A3Zkx8SPBSNl8mBzM0/6yy+xDhQ18aFtD5ypWaQGOBCo6MrQx0b| |xGvsYBo+0X4s+YLB3O0L2AA5mNBjSnJXX691PJ+FvyQ66icHVv4feeywTj0Dynci0kX| |8GRUN| Toxic Typhoon - Sentinel (Storm Blast - Bio Armor).mbd

Thanks, i was considering it, but i couldn't mange to squeeze it in (since if im going mystic i would like Rune of protection). The problem is Since i dont take dehydrate, i felt a little lacking in single target damage so that's why i opted for the Jaws at lvl 47, Making you one power short, you could also drop stealth but i think the recharge is more would be more vital

Mine is work in progress, its mostly theoretical (i only got mine to lvl 27) and there some thematic choice (like the leviathan pick ) but i think should be solid enough i know most folks like dehydrate but i just hate the animation and never feel like i need the self heal.

I second the Rad Armour suggestion, iv'e got a Rad/Axe, he is tanky as hell and does great damage - easly solo running 54X8 content without breaking sweat. Axe is also a great feeling set in general both with big numbers and the overall "impact" of the set (it just feels chonky 😄 )

So i went through a lot of the builds in the forums and saw that most, if not all, use One with the shield - now i've never been a fan of the "drop" of the T-9 panic buttons. it forces you to stop/slow down considerably , the added resist is quite nice but even without it i can hit 40%ish resist on most damage types (smashing and lethal are at 80%) doesnt seem worth it to me, am i missing something?
