earthdaddy Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I'm an idiot about this stuff. But I cobbled together this build by reading a bunch of guides and using a combination of other builds and hope I didn't screw it up too bad. I think I'm finally serious about spending the influence on a build and have already shelled out for some stuff. The order of taking powers is off.

nihilii Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I think your build would be fine as is. Few things come to mind if you want to (possibly) improve it: - Gaussian chance for Build Up is a beautiful thing in Aim, as it procs almost all the time, turning your Aim into Aim + Build Up. This is compounded on Sentinels, because Aim and your nuke have the same base recharge. So you can open every fight with an "Aim BU" Inferno. For that reason alone it's worth sticking the chance for BU in the base slot. Personally I slot the whole set for the juicy +2.5% def to all and to get that recharge down to sync with the nuke. - Try to fit the Reactive Defense scaling damage resistance somewhere. It starts at +3% resistance even when you're at full HP, and grows to up to (I think) 10% res if you're hurt. So this is at least as good as Shield Wall, and stacks nicely with it + your passive SR resistances at low HP. - Decimation chance for BU has a very low proc rate in Fire Blast. I would not bother with it. - The Panacea proc is great on any character, the endurance part alone is 1.5x as good as a perf shifter +end. I think SR benefits a lot from that proc, what with having no native healing. 1
earthaddy Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks Nihilii. Appreciate the advice. Couple of questions. 1. Gaussian sounds like a great idea, can I get away with just the one slot? 2. Where to put the reactive defense scaling damage resistance? Should I get rid of the Kismet to-hit? I don't really have any experience with enhancement sets, so not sure how much accuracy I need, but I know I hate missing. 3. Take out the decimation, sounds good, assuming I just fill that with the last Thunderstrike? 4. The panacea proc, are you saying to replace the performance shifter with that or use both?
nihilii Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 1. You can definitely get away with just the one slot with Gaussian BU. Your global recharge, Hasten and Quickness will carry you a long way. 2 and 4. If it were me, I'd cannibalize a few slots from one of the Red Fortune sets in your toggles, 3-slot LotGs instead (which is enough to bring you to the ED cap for defense) and get an extra 3 slots to play with this way. This way you've got a slot for Reactive Defense, a slot for Panacea, and even a slot for something else (could be the Unbreakable Guard +7.5% HP in Tough, for example - extra hit points are nothing to scoff at :) ) I'd definitely keep the Kismet, outside of Aim this is your only source of +tohit which is very important against defense buffing or tohit debuffing enemies. 3. One more Thunderstrike sounds good. :) 1
drbuzzard Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 What are the defensive numbers generated? I really don't get the impression that the build is softcapped for any position but ranged (though I would have to check).
earthaddy Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 At work so I don't have it in front of me. But everything is softcapped. I think AOE is the lowest at barely over 45%. Melee at 50ish and ranged at like 47%. That may not be exactly accurate, but pretty close.
earthdaddy Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Ok, here is an updated build that follows some of Nihilii's advice. I don't know how expensive it is, but it's something to work toward. A couple of questions. I have the perf shifter proc in both stamina and Enduring. I think I remember reading that the proc was only better than the third enhancement, but I don't really know. Would it be better to just go with generic IO endurance mods in Stamina? I'm also not seeing any kind of panacea proc, other than the unique I have in health. Anybody see any other places to tweak it?

nihilii Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I can't recall the math, but the Performance Shifter proc is about as efficient as a full slot, except not affected by end drains. On the flipside, you are relying on a proc that may or may not proc... But on average, you will come out ahead. 1
earthdaddy Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Thanks man. Appreciate the help. Does the build look okay overall?
