I exited a PI Trick or Treat league today, because I refused to turn off my teleport prompt. I don't enjoy GM hunting, also the Incandescence pulse is bad on my eyes. So, I stay at the hotel and clean up mobs. I was told I was not being a team player. In general I hunt the EBs which often have toHit debuff auras, which has practically no effect on the char I was using. So, I am generating a lot of exp for my team. So, I left. Some people think to highly of themselves. When I am league leader it's pretty obvious who is afking, without having resort to teleportation.

There is actually a multiple varieties. If one catches your fancy. Ask for specifics. Fort melee/range hybrid. Scrapper/controller with a nuke. Night Widow melee with a bit of ranged. Stalker/Tank/Support. Tied with Banes for the fastest placate recharge in the game. Crabbermind: Ranged with pets. Mastermind/Lite tank with uncontrollable pets. If you can keep the pets alive you are a damage god, but it's hard to keep them alive. Huntsmen(Bane or Crab): Ranged/debuffer/support/controller. They do have melee attacks, but ranged IMO is their sweet spot. They are great at immobilizing mobs. Banes: Melee, but with good ranged. Stalker/Debuffs/Support

Are you looking for mostly melee or ranged?

They all are within the formula. Unlikely to change. They hit harder than claw attacks, but the means longer recharge.

Kallisti Wharf repeatables will have Crey missions with lots of everything. Also, KW repeatable have entire missions full of Paragon Protectors if you need that badge.

Check the water on the other side of the bridge during the day.

He showed up in page 2. Have you found the fisher folks?

Just a thought. You should looking into Elec Melee/Ice as a sapper build. Multiple sapping sources, a knockdown AOE, and a slow aura. Stalker - Electrical Melee - Ice Armor.mbd

Double milestone. I caught up on all the badge a few weeks ago, but now I have vet 500 to go with it.

This is by far the best Sentinel I have tried. Durable, rapid end drain mostly due to a very fast recharging nuke, something only Sentinels get.

But have you tried to solo Blaster in KW radios. Not saying it's impossible, but the amount of debuffs and status effects is impressive. Plus a large doses of -defense in some groups.

A couple of thoughts. My best soloing blaster to this point has been Elec/Ice. Very few mobs are immune to end drain or slow. Those have are immune can be knockdowned. Solo'ed Sister Valeria arc at 4x8. But Kallsti Wharf is another level of difficultly above PI or DA 4x8. I couldn't come up with a build that could solo all the blue/red side groups. In the end I went with a Elec/Psi Sentinel. I have VEATs that can solo KW at 4x8.

SR is a defense set with high DDR , recharge bonus, absorb. Psi is a resistance set with an absorb, regeneration, cloak, debuff resistance. Yes is has some defense, but no DDR. So, I ignore the defense. Both are good Psi is requires more clicking than SR. I prefer Psi when paired with Elec blast. Not sure about storm.

BP is a good test. Kallisti Wharf mobs have even more -defense. If it's working for you, all good. In my experience the problem with trying to do mixed melee/ranged is the current speed of the game at high levels. If you played ranged, by the time you unloaded your AOEs, most mobs are dead. Then you try to run into melee range and maybe get 1-2 hits. If you start in melee range, then you get the crit damage and then you can unload your AOEs. But you are losing a lot of team support by not using those AOEs. Depending on my mood, I'll play ranged, hang back and play support. Otherwise, it's crit melee strikes followed by AOE on my other melee build.

A few minor comments, really just preferences: if you two slot Hasten, then boost the IOs +5. That should get you perma hasten and save you a slot. You could slot out one slot in Burst for Achilles' Heel or just drop a slot. Because the proc rate is so low and the fire defense isn't really needed. Frag grenade, go for the Full Frozen Blast set to get that 2.5% AOE defense. Also, I would go for the full Dominion set in Venom nade for the resists. My only *concern* with your full, it's really fine, just being picky. Is that you're lower on defense/resists than I would prefer because Soldiers have zero DDR. If you have the money I would just create a second build on the same character that is melee focused. I have found that trying to mix melee/ranged on Banes doesn't work for me. Go for ranged or primarily melee and use the ranged as extra AOE. Food for thought:
