MM Trick Arrow Slotting Tricks and Strategies

[Talionis]

Trick Arrow needs a boost mostly I think to something Defensive not necessarily Defense, though I think I would boost - to hit from Flash Arrow.   
 

But it’s easy to forget Trick Arrow has playable Control powers that Hold Sleep Knock Down and Slow.  Which is why Trick Arrow I see as only viable on Control lite controllers who are ant to stack Control powers.  It’s sad that low mag makes Trick Arrow Control’s too weak for Masterminds, Defenders, and Corrupers.

Just wanted to add you need some sort of fire attack to ignite Oil Slick. Your charm/taser prestige power has a very high chance of NOT igniting Oil Slick and making the the Oil Slick target disappear which means you won't have any other chances to try to ignite Oil Slick again.  

I had to pick up  Field Mastery for Energy Torrent and Explosive Blast to ignite it.  Thematically not what I wanted, I wished they would have had some sort of fire component to Acid or Poison arrow to be able to ignite Oil Slick. 

 

I will say this against Cots and Counsel I am doing 3/8 setting with a TA/Beast ( Semi Petless last pet only ) build. Basic Range cap Hover Blaster.

Tested it out.. Seems to work 80% of the time.  Sometimes it takes 2 shots. But it definitely is reliable enough.

 

Thank you, now I can go back to another build and get rid of Field Mastery.
