Display Name Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 1) I can put the Reactive Defenses set in Hover. What if I put the Scaling Resist Damage enh in Hover? Does that work globally or only when the power is active? I've heard that some individual enhs have global effects and was wondering how to tell when this occurs? 2) How should I slot Rise of the Phoenix? I can add ANOTHER Performance Shifter Chance for +End to it!? Would that do any good? I just want it to bring me up to FULL POWER, or as close as I can get to it. @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot.

Frostbiter Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hover takes Defense sets so it's good for any of the Defense set special IO's. If they're Unique or Globals then most of them work just being slotted. 1 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caulderone Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 1. RD scaling resist is global. That will work even if hover isn't on, so long as you are not more than 3 levels below the level of the RD IO. Get the RD scaling resist as either minimum level (20) or as Attuned to maximize the level it works at. 2. PS in that would only have a chance to proc when you click it. Not recommended. Recharge, Damage, Stun are likely best bets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine but I was talking about placing it elsewhere AND here! I'm not worried about the cost. I just want to be as bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed as possible after using this power so I don't faceplant immediately afterwards. I'm a risk-taker and I usually rez surrounded by enemies if they're occupied or I think I can survive long enough to get away. Stun sounds like a good one to add, too. 1 @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

RotP gives you 50% of your endurance out of the box, with each lvl 50 endmod IO providing an additional 21.2% endurance. If you had 3 slots to spare, 2 endmod IOs and 2 healing IOs in RotP would rez you to 92%. 1 Uunderdog - Rad/Rad Scrapper | Uundertaker - Rad/Dark Corruptor | Uun - MA/Inv Scrapper | Uunison - Grav/Storm Controller | Uuncola - Ice/Temp Blaster | Uundergrowth - Plant/Martial Dominator | Uunstable - SR/Staff Tank Uunreal - Fire/Time Corruptor | Uunrest - Dark/TA Blaster | Uunseen - Ill/Poison Controller | Uuncool - Cold/Beam Defender | Uunderground - Earth/Earth Dominator | Uunknown - Mind/Psi Dominator | Uunplugged - Stone/Elec Brute Uunfair - Archery/TA Corruptor | Uunsung - DP/Ninja Blaster | Uunflammable - Fire/Nature Controller | Uunflappable - WM/WP Brute | Uundead - Dark/Dark Tank | Uunfit - Water/Martial Blaster | Uunwrapped - Dark/Dark Dominator Uunchill - Ice/Kinetics Corruptor | Uunpleasant - En/En Stalker | Uunbrella - Rad/Rad Sentinel | Uunsafari - Beasts/Traps MM | Uungnome - Nature/Seismic Defender | Uunsavory - Poson/Sonic Defender | Uunicycle - BS/Shield Scrapper Uuntouchable - Ill/Time Controller | Uunferno - Fire/Fire Tank | Uunthinkable - Psi/SR Scrapper | Uuncivil - Thugs/Elec MM | Uunnatural - Ice/Savage Dominator | Uunshockable - Elec/Bio Sentinel | Uunfathomable - Elec/Dark Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caulderone Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 RotP also gives you 10 seconds of damage immunity, giving you plenty of time to recover. The best slotting to me is a single Peroxisome Hami-O for Damage and Mez. RotP does a lot of damage and a Mag 10 stun for 14.9 seconds. That Peroxisome makes RotP a great 1-slot wonder. Given the slot starvation in most builds, that is handy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yay! Two options! 1) The 2 End Mod and 2 Heal in RotP puts End, Heal and Absorb right at the Enh Diversification limit! Wow! Surgical! 2) The Peroxisome Hami-O saves slots! Too bad I can't put 5 slots in it! Lol! Why is the last epic power always limited to 4 slots? @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

Whatever power you take at level 49 is limited to 4 only because there are only 3 slots given at level 50. You can get around this by doing a respec. When you do a respec, you pick the order of your powers and then slot freely and can 6 slot your level 49 power if you wish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend using only the single slot in it - your slots will be put to better use in powers that help keep you from dying in the first place 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, at the time Inferno crashed your endurance... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I only have one slot for Spirit Ward.

It doesn't come up much because usually if you want to invest that heavily into a power, you take it before level 49. You notice it more with respecs at lower levels - like having Mind Link 4-slotted at the forced level 24 Widow respec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
