When you have 1200+ merits because you have every set you want and you do not farm. You have even more vanguard merits. And more badges than Empyrean Merits. You have T4 incarnates for everything plus extras T4s like different pets. Also, probably means you play too much. 😛

I have not played it. It is the PvP flavor of the month. You might want to check the PvP sub-forum. I think they have a build section.

In the Mids description of several Atomic powers it talks about applying a positive or negative charge to the target. Also, the effects tab for the same powers provide show a mag 3 confusion and mag 2 KB in the right column, where as the left column shows holds and sub one KB. The description of the power lists KD, not KB. Since, the paragon wiki has no information on Atomic and I have not been able to find a description in the forum. Does anyone know if and how this charging effect works?

I agree with what you're suggestion, but I think a bigger change needed. Before my suggestion. Here are a few facts: Resist cap for defender, corruptors, and controllers is 75% vs 45% def cap You could argue that def should be higher for Incarnate content, but 45% is the basic soft cap Even with enhancement sets is much harder to cap multiple resists than def A lot of support power sets key buffs or heals work on the user, Natural and Time are prime examples. Nature's Wild Growth gives the same resists w/o the psi hole as Sonic Dispersion, plus regen, heal bonus vs status defense which can be replaced with Incarnate abilities Time can buff close to 20% def for all including psi making soft capping trivial You have an power set built around resistance buffing which cannot cap any resist category except s/l and a giant psi hole. Also, if you chase resists then it is very hard to soft cap defense. Currently, soft capping defense requires chasing set bonuses which blocks effective proc slotting. Suggestions (one or several options): Close the psi hole or at least shrink it. I think this is required because of the amount of psi damage plus 50 Maybe have Sonic Barrier and Haven should provide some resists to the user Gives incentive to re-buff Or Sonic Dispersion should receive a buff. Raise the resists Or provide a small amount a def so that soft capping is easier The percentage of resist increase would require a lot of play testing. I would start with 10% with psi resists included.

Side note, on my AR/DEV. I swapped one sniper enhancement for another force feedback. That way both AOE and ST attack chains had recharge procs.

A riot of prisoners.

This is a very fiddly suggestion. Especially, since you are so tight on slots. Drop the Kismet +acc enhancement in Gymnastics, you have tons +acc. Most builds, including my own, have way too much accuracy. Replace the Kismet with two Blessing of the Zephyr pieces. Not idea where you get that extra slot. You gain travel speed and 1.5% ranged def.

My hesitation about Beam/Time are due to Hjarki's comments in the thread. He often makes very good points. Is the relatively small at 50, -regen according to his numbers worth the DPS decrease? Given that Beam/Ice/Fire seem like the best primaries. What secondaries would provide the best boots? I personally am very fond of Force Feedback: recharge procs. So, atomic and martial have good KB or KD attacks that can add recharge. Energy and Mental also have quick, not as proc friendly due to fast recharge, KB attacks. Also, though plant's first immobilize power is mag 4. Some AVs and bosses, ITF for example, really like to run around. I end up spamming web grenades on my AR/Dev, so we do not get adds. Finally, there are procs, which I do not think the blaster community has fully grasped full build potential. I certainly do not have my head wrapped around the possibilities. My current thinking is ice/martial or atomic, both provide lots of potential recharge. Martial has a nice teleport attack which chains beautifully into a PBAOE KD for high recharge proc rates. Atomic also has a lot of hold powers to stack with ice. Though the lack of snipe in ice since the introduction of quick snipe is a downside.

I am looking for suggestions for a GM/AV/Boss killer build. Maybe Ice/Plant, since that is the PvP flavor of the month? Should the build focus on pure max damage or a mix of debuffs? Previous discussion about Beam/Time.

I love the concept. Defense levels are awesome for any content. As someone who really wanted to love ignite. The fear factor is too high. You'll are going to have a hard time keeping most mobs in place even with glue arrow. I put my ATO flame proc set into flamethrower. It hits more targets so I think a better proc chance for more burnation!

This is very close to what I am running alive. I have too much defense, maybe... I might drop scorp shield to get resists in the future.

TWG is a decent damage power now, the immobilize is just a plus with a sub 2 sec recharge for me. I use it to pin AVs in the ITF because they love to run. Everything I have read is that trip mine is a good source recharge and procs. It does not fit my playstyle, so I do not have it. I put my force feedback: recharge in M30, because it recharges very quickly and still procs very well. You will have to slot KB->KD. Also, I put recharge in my snipe, because I switch between my AOE chain FA->FT->M30 and Snipe->Slug->Burst or TWG. I want recharge procs in both chains. I want to love ignite, but the fear factor is too high. Even tanker taunting cannot keep mobs in it. If you fight at range with soft capped range def. I do not think Rune of Protection is required. I rarely get mezzed for any dangerous length of time. You probably already have decent mezz resistance. Also, two slotting hover, fly, and afterburner will give you 4.5% ranged with Blessing of the Zephyr if you need the extra def.

Just throwing this out there, Liquefy, in the Sonic Resonance set can take 6 procs. I think there are least 8 different types of procs available for the power. I know that Sonic Resonance is a problematic set, but that is quite a proc monster of a power. Tinkering with a sonic/dark defender.

If you can give up one slot from a power you, defense probably, could slot Force Feedback: Recharge into Telekinetic Blast or Tornado. Or both for the cost of two slots. That should give a pretty reliable proc for 100% recharge over 5 secs.

A hanky of hydra!

Yes, if we were describing Internet mobs. A twit of twitters.

Tactical Pixie's current costumes. The first two are mine. The third is QueenBethari's.

There are a couple of threads running around for AR/Dev builds. Here's mine: AR/Dev - 48.3 S/L Def - 37.4 Ranged def - No purples I think IMHO You need at least soft capped 45% s/l or ranged. I am OCD about def, meaning I probably have too much, but you need to soft cap one or the other. There are good suggestions in the thread above. There are two resist enhancement pieces that provide 3% def all each. A number of sets do provide s/l or ranged def, but there are not the purple sets usually Take M30 Grenade over Buckshot. M30 will on average hit more targets and you can also slot it with both KB->KD and FF recharge. Your recharge is too low. I FF recharge slot both M30 and Snipe, with a little luck I can have Full Auto back up in 15-18 seconds. Also, I can spam toxic grenade to help pin AVs in a group.

Good point. Though, A morgue of vahz works.

Just having a little fun. I like to think of collective nouns for mob groups. Here are a few. A rave of freakshow A mosh pit of freakshow A underpass of trolls A rave of trolls - more fitting given the troll rave event A graveyard of death mages A bondage of council/5th column What else?

For some reason I do not have the gun costume piece. Everything is fine. I will post pics this weekend.

Mostly, but it has errors. Have not dug into it yet.

Great costume Queen! I am lacking some costume parts, but I will get those and post a picture.

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of feed back I was hoping. I will tweak some more and post in a day or two.

Looking for a new costume for my assault rifle/device blaster pixie. Tactical Pixie. I only request that it has wings.
