Poor Man's Blaster: Illusion/Trick Arrow

Since I have some time on my hands, I thought I'd go over some of the builds in my library and discuss how they work.

 

Introduction

I have a love/hate relationship with Illusion Control. On the one hand, it has one of the most unique powers around: Phantom Army. Invulnerable pets who do substantial damage are tremendous. On the other hand, it has almost nothing else.

 

It’s the only Control set that can’t set Containment. It has no AE damage. It’s actual pet (Phantasm) is on the low end of durability and damage. These are some significant holes.

 

However, the demand for recharge to fuel Phantom Army is so extreme that most builds don’t even try to fill them. The top choices for support set are almost strictly aimed at managing to get to perma-PA while having decent defenses. The result are builds that might be decent on a pylon test, but have serious flaws as a general build you’d take into task force.

 

Illusion/Trick Arrow goes the other direction. Instead of approaching the question of Illusion from the standpoint of “how can I pile on all that recharge”, it approaches it from the standpoint of filling the holes - providing AE damage and Containment.

 

Meeting Recharge Demands

Phantom Army requires +300% recharge. Approximately 95% of this can come from internal recharge. 70% can come from Hasten (which is automatically perma- at the levels of recharge we need for PA). If we have the powers (we do), 5 purple sets will yield another +50%. I’ve slotted two 4-set +6.25% and one 5-set +5%. 5 LotG will yield +37.5%. Note: This does mean there are a number of powers I take solely for their ability to slot recharge sets but I don't actually plan to use much.

 

Add it all up and we’re still short about 25% recharge. In theory, we could bridge this gap with Spiritual or Agility, but those both hurt the overall damage the build can do (vs. Musculature/Intuition).

 

To bridge this gap, I switch up the single target rotation a bit - I take the somewhat mediocre Project Will over Spectral Wounds. This allows me to slot Force Feedback in a power I’ll be using all the time at a high global recharge with no internal recharge - and close the gap.

 

Meeting Defense Demands

This is a bit trickier. Trick Arrow provides no defense/resist at all. While some defense can be inferred from the various debuff powers, this isn’t the same as simply having status protection, soft-capped defenses and hard-capped resists.

 

I’ve already spent an enormous number of slots on recharge above, so I don’t have a whole lot of options here. I simply don’t have the slots to dedicate to boosting defenses to soft-cap much less accomplishing the rest.

 

So instead I rely on two long recharge clicks: Indomitable Will and Unleash Potential. Neither can be made perma-, but they provide me with the option of acceptable defenses when needed. The hope is that the combination of AE Fear, AE Hold, AE Slow/Knockdown, minor AE -hit debuffs and invulnerable tanks will preclude the need for always-on defenses.

 

How It Plays

A bit like a Blaster - albeit one with significant control and invulnerable pets. While the damage doesn’t scale up nearly as well as a Blaster, almost any team will find your massive debuffs a boon.

 

Unlike most Illusion builds, you can lock an AV/GM in place with Immobilize and you’ve got some pretty heavy-hitting AE. Note: To ignite the Oil Slick requires a proc in Acid Arrow. This is a near certainty against a large spawn, but has a very low chance of occurring against a single target.

 

For single target offense, you’re primarily relying on PA + Blind/Project Will. Multi-target, you’ve got Oil Slick Arrow followed by Acid Arrow. Overall, the build tends have a ‘flow’ that I like a lot more than conventional approaches.

 

So before you rush off to try a flavor-of-the-month approach like Illusion/Storm or Illusion/Time, I’d suggest you go over to Beta and see what Illusion/Trick Arrow can do for you. While ordinarily a low-ranked set, Trick Arrow’s particulars happen to mesh with Illusion Control unusually well.

I think you will get more defensive effect by dropping a couple of slots from your defensive powers (Invisibility and Unleash Potential), and getting the 6th slot in the Controller ATO set and the Confuse set, because both have a nice 5% Ranged Defense bonus. Getting +10% Ranged Defense is worth dropping a bit from those powers, IMO.

Just to throw this out there, the origin powers for technology and magic do energy damage, which will ignite OSA

This is an entirely reasonable design decision. I didn't go that way because I just didn't find Defense to be particularly useful due to the control powers and the fact that Superior Invisibility generally meant that I always initiated fights rather than reacting to them.

^ This. And make a bind to target OSA as well.

 

I had a 50 Ill/TA/Fire with Perma PA on Retail Live and it works quite well. While TA may not be the best secondary pick for Illusion, Illusion is probably the best primary for TA.

I love my I'll/TA!

I went for a budget build with moderate recharge and capped ranged defense, and am hoping the spiritual alpha gets my PA close enough to perma.

I looked at this comment and didn't see any mention of Trick Arrow being buffed.  Did I just not read far enough?

Dang, I pointed to the wrong post.  It was a comment in the first page of that thread.

Sounds like there is some scuttlebutt about /Poison too.

 

Interestingly enough, /Poison was my next build in line (see separate topic).

Nice build, extremely solid base.  I am a fan of softcapepd defenses so I made the 2 changes suggested above along with a few others and Agility.  This softcaps me to ranged.  I'm not sure how much defense is lost from superior invisibility once engaged but I may still be able to eek out softcap for ranged.

 

With ageless, my guess is PA will be perma, even with diminishing returns.

 

Ice arrow is nice for the cheap bonuses.

 

I figure if shit hits the fan, it'll be nice to be dodging attacks left right and center.

 

Again, thank you.

Illusion/TA was one of my old Incarnates back in Live. Super fun and effective. Great for team kill speed, solid damage solo, reasonable controls for Illusion combo. Played very well from range, almost never gets targeted by anything between PA, controls, range and -threat from Superior Invisibility.

About 50% is your answer. My Mids has you at 42.7% ranged in combat. 

 

In Mids Options > Configuration > Effects & Maths tab and tick HitByFoe, MissionObjectiveClick and ActivateAttackClick is how I do it.

I'm clueless about TA i had a single arch/ta corr on live but it barely got played and i'm not sure whats sets will be slottable in the updated version. Ill trolls have always been one of my favourites provided i can get perma PA. Trying to fit in every TA power so i can see what they are like now and still hit perma hasten/PA is proving difficult and theres no way to get any defence in the same build. Threw this together as something to start with before mids gets an update and a proper build can be worked on:

Having seen the changes i think i came up with something that would work but even +5 boosted PA has a 1/2 second downtime and i'm not sure about the endurance once glue arrow/spectral/disruption are used. Not sure the mids is up to date, blaster glue arrow takes aoe sets but troller version seems to be slow only not sure if that is correct:

Correct, Tactical Arrow's Glue Arrow does damage, but the Glue Arrow from Trick Arrows does not.

Another OG here, Ninja Surprise was Ill/TA on live and a royal hoot to play.  I took TA purely to set up containment for Ill, and I got the Taser origin power to light Oil Slick. On Homecoming you can start with any origin and have P2W switch your inherent to one that does energy damage.

Great idea lighting it with procs in Acid Arrow though!

 

This is a fun combo.  Command the battlefield from inside your invisible field!
