Underfyre

I am corrected.

The lightning procs are boosted by enhancements in Storm Cell, not the power that triggered them. Cat5 lightning procs, which also require Storm Cell to be active, receive their enhancements from Cat 5 tho.

Never mind, that's working as intended.

I know, but Intensify also has a 25% damage boost. Seems like it should be increasing the damage if the entity has a flag for "Boosts are copied to entity"

While we're on it, do we know for sure if using Intensify AFTER casting either Storm Cell or Cat 5 will retroactively apply its affects? I haven't really seen much of anything being applied retroactively in this game, everything is a snapshot at the time of activation. I just did a test to check stuff, and I can say that the damage boost from Intensify does not apply to the lightning strikes. Neither Cat 5 lightning nor Storm Cell lightning saw an increase in damage.

Have fun wasting 25% of your Intensify time with casting Storm Cell.

Do you ever actively slot for range? Only 2 sets have a +range enhancement to them (Detonation and Positron's Blast). Only 3 sets have a bonus have a bonus to range (Bombardment/5%, Ssentinel's Ward/10%, Opportunity Strikes/10%). I can confirm that those 3 set bonuses alone taking the range to 50ft is inadequate to prevent agro.

Does anyone else feel like the reduced range on the Sentinel version of Storm Cell just isn't in the spirit of the ability when compared to the other ATs? Currently the shortened range forces you to take an alpha to place the cell over a pack. Not especially useful or fun.

Anyone have something to say about Storm Blast having 3 primary damage types? Y'all spent an awful lot of time running your mouths about that. Better get on that feedback thread and run those mouths some more. Yes, I'm that petty. No, I don't forget.

Bio definitely makes its own sacrifices as well. You just have to find what fits you.

If you read my write-up on Stone Armor, you aren't tethered to the ground with the set unless you take Terra Firma, which is completely skippable.

Alright, so, you don't really need both your T1 and your T2. This is a universal rule with the two starter abilities in each set, one of the two sucks. Now that we're not tied to needing one of those abilities to activate Opportunity, you can just omit them from your attacks. They're largely the lowest DPA options you have in your kit. So just skip one. Now you have an extra power slot. Do what you want with that information.

All of them.

sure would be nice if a mod pinned that build list thread to the top so people can find it.

Is the old knowledge lost? Do the Smoke and Mirrors arc. You'll get 12 merits in less than 7 minutes when you git gud at it.

Also how shitty ad-farm game ads work.

I was badmouthed by a halfwit streamer while testing page 4 content. That was a good time. You know I'm watching your stream, right?

Y'all: "Yes, I would like a band-aid for a bad build." P2W: "Have I got the thing for you!" Incarnates: "Hoo boy, wait 'til you get to 50! I got the real band-aids!"

There's a build list floating around this forum where I dumped all the Sentinel builds I had up to that point. E^3 was included in that.

This feels like you're saying that adding defense to a resist set will feel less noticeable than adding defense to a defense set.

Uhh...25%?

I don't +5 enhancements that aren't PvP/VRare for exemplar purposes, those are assumed to be attuned to maintain set bonuses. But yes, if your aspirations do not include clearing lower level content, you can get a few more points of defense out of the build.

I brought this up on the test server when I noticed that Ice was changed to do only cold damage instead of cold/smashing damage. Apparently the +11% smashing damage is hold over from copy/pasting abilities over from Blasters Defiance ability. Essentially a bug. It was a minor bonus that it increased your smashing damage before, but now it's essentially useless. But it is apparently also a bug, they didn't intend for it to be there. Given that it's a bug, but also essentially useless, they left it in. I tried to get them to change it to cold damage, since Ice would appreciate the boost, but they did not agree.

Here you go. Happy Christmas. I'm not super thrilled with the slotting of Weave; if you want to eek more defense out of it, steal the proc slots from Entomb, Gravestone, Meteor, or Dominate. Otherwise it's kind of balanced for offense/defense, with defenses sitting around 40% before incarnates. Shouldn't have any end problems with 2 Performance Shifter procs in the build. Skips Terra Firma since I prefer to Hoverblast. If you want Terra Firma you're going to have to make some sacrifices. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1621;712;1424;HEX;| |78DA7594594F135114C7FFD34EC5B614447669A16CB2B48C2D107D75010C06926A2| |39A68D23430D621DD6C6B82DFC235BEF801C4E5CDF5519FC1E54D34BE697C72F906| |F5CC9C397891709399FCE69C7BFEF79C7BEF99C5B599C6CD8D85E3D09A4EE5B3D56| |A266D166B56D1CCFB16B3396B19F668A02722F6CCB96C3167AE1869D3AA16ACE5CC| |498AAA85B7BD33E615B358358D74AD543433272A855205A154A99437E6ACDC559A9| |30BF257DEFE0C389C2E9BE64A9B83B36B65B36215482D5BB34AC5EED9B2B56C6C8B| |A7AA56669196332B37BA28A7283DA918BD34C8A8FB80873A90D4E1C1BAC023061D8| |F059E30ECC35386D27F325E20A0B953420CFBD124D0CE703666C768FF8234787D8E| |671C3AC3041A188EE087D781320579D584BD98644F0009CD852443232605A6189A3| |0CD709E647CAA8C0F9F7477CA16C3017C16F8C270106F3C40AB0D5FD9B214E3E315| |19FA58F7389E6BE4F12B0BE87E84ED3CFD684344A097A1037D0251860B141D54D30| |BE299EE6EC47381D70C49BC107829F0CA3D3ACA2DA4A617429D06AA24DFACC8A319| |FDBC8917C9D3A22EDC82B8C749A90B130206C3212404925C74187196A9914CAB5A7| |D2BE6B8B228CE08CC33F4E3B4C07D96B944D1ED6A12EDD8E08286B0C97018EF04DE| |338CE083C04786EB24D3A95ECA4EB921FD724306E5860C224210D1719982BA952DF| |3756392AB0C638AA117D30247058E71E65178F8BEAE914C8FBA768F34C4A034C490| |34C4903484978E2BA2046911747056234E21043A4DE9534FAE4F82FDE419503D03E| |21920CFB02A3B0CBB5D9DCD73E1DB1830AAEEF8286EF2268EE196C06D813BBADBA5| |7705EE317C2799982A13C32AE710474120CB95C431EF717B7CD6EBC2030A1AD111A| |4840DF5DA1A7C6DDF8E0309D59E9012C33AD451B71F3B6275CCF92FF9C45E5FD863| |624A57FF5F64D7D8FE33B0F3C726F37FEFB62F694EF2BFF688F8B3DBEE5E776AFB1| |DE5D6FF02A635D206| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
