My DP/Martial Combat Build (with Build Commentary)

[star_fury_lives]

How do you find Reach for the Limit? Find it a bit lacklustre personally. City of data reckoned a 0.67ppm rate. Guess it's fine if you've got a spare power pick?

[FUBARczar]

Personally I wouldn't recommend leaving out Burst of Speed and Dragon Tail while taking mediocre attacks form DP.

 

IMO as an idea (quickly tweaked from my DP/Temporal build) something like this would do more damage, with more AoE and offer more damage mitigation.

I like the Martial set, my most fun Blaster is Psi/Martial.  That said I don't like the randomness of Reach for the Limit, especially if it procs that low, wow.  I monitor my damage bonus on my screen and it seems to proc fairly often.  I would prefer a flat buff like Targeting Drone than a random one.  

 

I would suggest to give RftL either a flat dmg buff or turn it into a mini defiance-like buff that buffs on each attack 

AND 

put some +to-hit in Burst of Speed (similar to Combat Teleport).

I need to experiment with it a little bit, but at level 8 I managed to get a proc after 30 uses of Flares. Not sure if it is similar to enhancement procs and it's more likely to fire with a high recharge power

---

Edit- RftL seems to proc reliably in my Rain of Fire power, which is at 90sec recharge (as long as it's not on icd)- so you can kinda predict it, but it isn't really an opener

This is what I rebuilt into on Live, but I haven't really been able to test it yet.  Reaction Time seems to have stopped taking Theft of Essence +End.

As before the build only soft-caps S/L/E and not Ranged, which isn't ideal but is good enough on teams.

Why omit the highest damage attack with the best DPA in both sets?  That, IMO that is a mistake.

Are you talking about Eagle's Claw?  If not, which attack?  If yes, I found that Eagle's Claw animated too slowly and was frequently corpse-blasting ... and also that my single-target chain seemed to do better dps with a rotaton of Storm Kick (to get the +rchrg proc), Exec Shot, Supressive, and even Ki Push, with AOEs mixed in (including DT for +rcrhg and Bullet Rain) ... most of the time I'm diving into big mobs and trying to trigger as much +rchrg as possible to get HoB back up.  I liked the style of EC but it just threw off the rhythm of my chain.

Yes, EC.  I guess kicking AVs in the face for 1K+ isn't for everyone.  Not to mention stacking stun with Suppressive Shot and for me with Oppressive Gloom.
