Force Redux

Very welcome! If in the future you get Void Judgement you will have two similar nukes!

Okay, just went over the build. Its built very different from how I normally do things, but that's not bad, just part of the beauty of the game. You're just shy of Ranged softcap, which is good. I like that. Dark's -ToHit makes up the differnce and then some. Solid. No Wild Bastion? Its a strong absorb power and I think core to the Nature set...why not? As a Defender I'd take that over Blackstar (and yes, Blackstar is lovely).

Straw man argument. I don't think anyone here has argued for blanket self buffing. Reasonable suggestions have revolved around only allowing some buffs at a reduced amount. Let's leave the hyperbole at the door, it brings nothing to the discussion.

How's this project coming along? 🙂

Ah... Well that's good news!

I haven't forgotten. On my list for tomorrow!

What changes were there? I didn't pick up anything on the patch notes...😳

I suspect the proc review will focus on damage. That's just my gut. Hopefully any review will also see about improving some non damage procs like sleep or immob procs... 🤔🧐🙂

My best guess would be that damage procs beyond the first in a power may have diminished returns...

/em holdtorch Rest in peace, hero.

I'll try to look at this in Mid's later this week 🙂

Thank you!

Group Fly is too slow for the pylon chase. I typically don't summon my pets til we're in the bowl for the above mentioned reasons. Until then I lean on my secondary to support the league. Another reason Group Fly needs a rework. Please, devs. Teleport, Energy Melee, Trick Arrow...all modern day miracles. Can we get Flight Pool attended to as well? 😁😁😁

@Luminara would you know the macro image for EMP Arrow? I can't look it up right now, but it's the only thing I need since I mostly use it defensively, on my own position. Everything else I manually target. 🙂

It's as much skill as Dark Miasma... I mean there are way more "easy button" power sets or ATs in the game than TA builds. But to reach their own. I hope you continue to enjoy your hero! I had PBU but didn't notice ANY number value changes for Flash Arrow...so...☹️

Hi. Are you sold on the Fighting Pool? I know it's bog standard for many folks but I have never taken it and can still cap out on my support builds, usually for range or S/L. If you aren't married to it, you could free up power and slot choices...

Welcome home! Pet AI is massively improved!

I love this

I always love to see Cold support in my teams

I go like this with Hybrid: MMs: Support Controller: Control Defenders: Assault double hit Tankers: Assault double hit Stalkers: Assault damage buff Sentinel: Assault damage buff I don't play the other ATs, but you get the idea.

TA isn't over the top, but is IS now on par with Time Manipulation and Dark Miasma. All it has is debuffs, but the debuffs work and they work well. Finally. After X number of years. I'd place it in the upper rank of support sets, including: Time Manipulation Dark Miasma (and even better, Dark Affinity for controllers) Nature Cold Radiation The thing with Trick Arrow, its not lazy like Time. You have to work for your safety and debuffs. That means, targeting, area awareness, and prioritization. With Time you simiply hit Far Sight every 2 mins, keep Time's Juncture toggled (for -ToHit) and Heal and Debuff as necessary. Dark plays a LOT like Trick Arrow in that you have to paint your targets with debuffs. But TA lacks Dark's stealth/resists/defense, and it lacks a heal and Uber pet as well. The only thing Trick Arrow has is debuffs. So they had better work and work well. Some primaries will work better with TA than others, of course. I find that Water, Dark and Ice work very very well. (I have just incarnated a TA/Dark and have played with TA/Ice and TA/Water on the test server).

For the TA part, check out the TA post in the Defender forum. Lots of good stuff there about procs. Then Bopper has his proc thread in the Controller forum here. Lots to read. Lots of good ideas!

Welcome home hero. (I cried at the into music)

TA/Dark is my official favorite Defender now.

Ty much! I guess I'll stick to my fire procs in TT and NF 🙂
