Snarky

I have actually merged the ideas from that elec Blaster with the playstyle i learned on the Dark^3 Corruptor and rebuilt my Dark Dark Soul Blaster to merge the two. That is now my main. Does more damage than the Elec Blaster, but plays in close. Has Phase Shift in case things go south, or I need to get a few hundred yards through enemies that see through stealth. It lacks many tools from the Corruptor but is quite hardy and hits like…a Blaster. side note, new Sentinel Armor earth w/e has geode which….isnt that-a stationary phase shift? Because i got a lot of grief for “needing it” when Sentinels are above such things lol *clutches anchor tighter….the bottom must be down here somewhere. What does Mary Annas mean?

or rather than code the crap ot of your trays ....and it sounds like you are going to want a lot of stuff automated....you can just click on their name and send a tell..."pls invite"

i have not run trollers. if it has the same powers i would suspect it is slightly better on trollers. it is the two debuffs, one aoe one st that make cold so good. pair that with scourge and DoT (i run ice ice, but fire is tasty) and you got a winner

You should prob move this to the "generic Archtype" forum if you are asking what archetype to be? Fire is a great blast set, and the Cold Secondary on Corruptors is GREAT. But I never play those sets (except cold randomly) So...gl

Interesting point. Seriously deep philosophically gamewise. But it precludes any AH transactions due to it's premise. You cannot trade the Wetware Enhancer you found on a dead Freak for ANY Inf that the populace has bestowed on Johnny Awesome, no matter how much Johnny Awesome wants to make the deal with you.

If I could handle pet class at all I suspect that in some circumstances MMs might finally meet the original goal...being a Tank. The pets are level shifted down in incarnate, but that still makes them useful as bodyguard damage sponges? That cannot be harmed by damage patches.... seems like there is a opportunity there

Yeah. I don't think it was spelled out that clear but there were warnings lol. I guess Squid Billy is destined for DFB 4ever.

Really wish there was a no fade option on this. I am a vampire. I know mortals cannot see me. I am not a ghost. I am not translucent

I been reading up on this. We need to take some time and discuss this before it goes live.

To summarize: Spend some of the cash you are farming up front for long term greater rewards.

Note I did trade the Kismet from Infiltration to Stealth. Infiltration is never on, I fly. So now it mules LOTG.

You lead most fights on the Corruptor with Tar and Cone of To Hit debuff….errr fear. Then joust to correct range(s) depending on situation I looked at the damages of all similar (same) powers on Blaster vs Corruptor. Big difference. Also the Blaster opens almost every fight with Nuke. When it is not up the Blaster has FOUR cones. One is KB->KD, an immobilize, all do damage and they are recharged almost fast enough to be continuous. It is withering AoE and since the cones are virtually non stop the “cone line up and fire control” issue only needs to be solved once. Or just do an ST burn. Also the Blaster has two Holds. Can hold Paragon Prot or Victoria Robots. And seriously, look at me, I just wanna destroy crap.

I really enjoyed being back on this and finally worked out a good rhythm for PBAoE, then cones and ST range And then promptly rebuilt my Dark Dark Soul Badger Blaster using that knowledge and what I learned about “fake” armoring a Blaster. Now that I understand Dark Dark Dark on the Corruptor I can effectively run the Dark Dark Soul Blaster and appreciate what Dark brings to Blasting. No, I do not have tar patch and fear or as much to hit debuffs. But now I understand the rules and rhythm and can tear through rooms If that does not work I have my Phase Shift and some time to figure another angle on the fight

No, I actually expect that (and want it) I need more info. Sometimes I play melee. In this build the info is not helpful, but on a lightly armored melee hitter? golden. so thx

THe ask about Infiltration is real. It is in my main build and I am like? What good is it? I have hover, fly, and stealth on all the time (Blaster) I needed a mule to get the Concealment Pool Phase Shift. (I really like PS) But except for muling a LOTG I cannot figure a single use for infiltration. About as much use as Brawl.

Actually I ate a linguist. Just to shut them up.

What is this vaguely worded smashed potato version of old invisibility french fry?!?

You make a valid statement. Let me tear it apart! 🙂 But seriously the one thing that came to mind is something you missed. I come to the forums, well okay, I have fun here doing all the above….. but I come to the forums for help. On procs on warshades on badges on Donner on Vixen, c’mon Rudolph. Errr. I feel sidetracked Anyways the core reason I keep returning to the forums is the knowledge base. I have learned so much from the in depth analysis of Sentinel sets in the Sentinels forum. Truly every archetype forum should have that thread stuck to the top. Builders like Hyperstrike have redefined the fun things you can do in game Thank you all. Okay, time for this aged milk to go get some sun time

I have over 1200 badges on this guy but was never happy with Dark/Dark/Souls mixed ranges and lack of a true buildup. After playing the Corr Dark^3 and xeroing in on what I wanted the Blaster to do I specc'd out of Leadership and went deep into Fly and Stealth. Really enjoying the changes. Picking your Nuke strategy is huge. Then get to mid range for a non stop cone barrage or longer for ST burn phase.

After screwing with this for a couple hours I realized it is completely untenable. I had to do multiple respecs to "discover" what powers could be used in squid form. There are not many. Do I/O builds in the (not greyed out, HARD RED NOT THERE) powers even count for set bonuses? Too many questions, not enough interest lol

its like level 4 or 6 now lol

again...explains itself

it want until like mid thru a dfb the power showed up lol
