Nope, that’s Purple Triangles of Doom https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Purple_Triangles

In my experience with Traps, caltrops is really only useful in low levels, so if you want to fit in Fold Space, you could drop Super Jump, Combat Jumping, and Caltrops. That way you only lose 1 LoTG.

Everlasting TFs is a great channel for teaming on TFs and the like. Everlasting is the 2nd most popular shard. No, the population isn’t what it was on live and it never will be, but there is usually some stuff going on except for late at night or very early in the morning.

I don’t know if dominators would get caltrops, since one of their secondaries has an almost identical power (thorntrops)

Also, a lot of powers you think are toggles for NPCs (temp invulnerability comes to mind) are actually clicks with a duration and a recharge, which is why you see NPCs that follow you continuously activate them.

https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=circleofthorns.boss_succubus.blackclaw&at=boss_grunt less need to do testing if you just look at CoD. Blackclaw does -10% defense, but it is resistable. I don’t feel like comparing CoD for every attack that does -def that CoT enemies have, but at level 50: Magma Thorn Caster has 3 -def attacks Succubus has 1 Master of Ruin has 3 If you want to see what the numbers those provide do, cross reference the HC wiki with CoD https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Circle_of_Thorns alternately, you could turn off your defense toggle, pop enough oranges to be at the resist cap, and let CoT wail on you. Your DDR is all in SR passives, so you’ll see exactly how much -def each attack is doing and you’ll actually have a fair chance of getting hit.

It can be enhanced (if it couldn’t, you wouldn’t be able to slot resistance into it). at ED cap for Corrs, it provides about 30% resistance to S/F and about 15% for everything else. Nothing to sneeze at. But admittedly depending on what you’re chasing for set bonuses, Toroidal is a possible place to skimp on slots.

I remembered late last night that buckshot has a chance for knockback, so with a Sudden Acceleration in buckshot that leaves Cupid’s Crush going into Sleep Grenade if I want the recharge bonus.

Electrifying Fences gives resistance to knock back, not protection, meaning any knock back will turn into knock down. As for the immobilize part of it, you could use Taunt to debuff enemy range so everything is in melee range and then hit EF. You could also use Fold Space to accomplish the same. EF also does similar damage to ball lighting, albeit over a longer DoT.

That’s a good idea too… now the question is sleep grenade or buckshot? buckshot has the added bonus on potentially instantly confusing bosses, but if what I’ve read is true, sleep grenade procs really well…

I’m on my phone, so I can’t look at your build, but I can recommend this page from the wiki that taps about hard and soft caps https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Limits of note, there are really only 2 ‘soft’ caps, defense at 45% for non-incarnate content / 57.5% for incarnate content, and to-hit/accuracy, which has a floor of 5% and a soft cap of 95%. You can go above these soft caps, but the benefits it provides are small. Going above these soft caps only provides mitigation against debuffs. As for Willpower, I personally try to hit the 45% defense cap for S/L/E/N/F/C. Admittedly, this is easier on a tank than a brute, but it’s still quite doable with some finagling. After defense, I try to stack some extra resistance. I the use Vigor Core alpha slot for the health/regen bonuses.

My Arse/Arse is 46 I think. Super fun to play. My only “melee” attacks are buttstroke and trip mine. If the AoE stun is on CD, I fire off smoke canister followed immediately by buckshot, which does a great job confusing all enemies. Toe bombing with Trip Mine is great, but for the most part I play at range. I use Tranquilizer slotted for damage as an attack, it doesn’t quite do as much DPS as the T1 blast, but the sleep is mag 3.5 and auto-hit so it gives a little bit extra mitigation. I’ve heard good things about proccing the AoE sleep, but I generally don’t run proc builds, so I don’t have any experience with it myself. @lemming I like the idea of the Cupid set in the sleep, I may steal that for my build.

And basically needing a Granite tank for recluse and having to spam clear mind on said tank for Ghost Widow

Noice! I know what I’m doing when I get home today!

This is an older build and I have no idea what it looks like because I’m on my phone, but at the bare minimum this can get you started. Sock 'Em - Tanker (Invulnerability).mbd
