(Titan/Bio) Endgame Build Discussion + Went overboard with Endurance management

[ChrisMoses]

I was hoping you guys could take a look at my build and offer some further maximization suggestions.

 

Right off the top, I went overboard on the Endurance Management aspect; 50 levels of running out of endurance with Titan Weapons is enough to scar a guy. Choosing Ageless for my Destiny Incarnate only emphasizes that "issue" - I could drop that Destiny, but Bio and Titan both really benefit from the +Rech. I'd rather lose one or both of my Energy Master ancillary power pool picks, but I don't have a great idea of what powers to replace them with. I wouldn't mind having Fireball, but don't think I can carve out a spot for 3 power picks.

 

I'd also like to know what I should be striving for with the build really. I could replace my Mako's Bite enhancements with Hecatombs and my Obliterations with Armageddons, but I don't know if that would necessarily be worthwhile. I wish there were Defensive purple sets.

 

Note: The blank enhancement slots contain a couple from the new enhancements: Parasitic Aura: Preemptive Optimization - EndMod/Rech and EndMod/End/Rech;
Physical Perfection: Power Transfer - End Mod and Chance to Heal proc

could you carve out two spots? Mu cages and ball lightning make a nice damage boost for when you want a little more aoe 'oomph', plus you could slot chances for +end in those so you are still overdoing your endurance management.

I could, yes, in replacing Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection. That might be the trick

Scrapper's Strike ATOs offers 5% S/L & melee defense when 3-slotted. So... I split it into two separate powers for 10% def.  Kinetic combat +3.75% def on Boxing (mule only) and the Vorpal incarnate offers 30% defense when on.  EDIT: WRONG AT, SORRY. 

 

TW is soooo slow to attack that building around an optimum (recharge rate, dps) attack chain seems to make the most sense. At least how I feel when I play it. Also, I use mine for solo efforts, not teams. Ageless is my lore of choice over barrier.

With accolades and a build built around offense and max +recharge, you shouldn’t be encountering crippling end issues. Especially if you take Energy Mastery. You could take Barrier too and not have any issues. Of course you’d lose out on the recharge and the ability to fill your endurance when you do get sapped or run out. One thing I noticed, you dedicated several slots to the autos from Energy Mastery. You’ll get the most bang for your buck putting a +End proc from Performance Shifter in both. You’ll have so many +end procs going off with 1 more proc coming from Stamina if you opt to put one there. I would keep the Energy Mastery, only take the two autos, slot the +end proc and leave it at that, this along with a full build and accolades will solve all of your endurance issues. Then use the slots elsewhere to shore up more defense/resistance or recharge. Then choose between Barrier or Ageless. Personally, I think I would go Barrier, but it would be hard to not want Ageless either. So you really can’t go wrong there.

I think there was a bit of misunderstanding. I WAS fearful of END issues, so I loaded up on the Energy Mastery pool and Ageless, but it isn't a concern at all; my END bar never moves, so I think I'm losing the Energy Mastery pool. Fire would be ideal, but don't think I want to/can lose 3 powers to fit in Fireball, so the Ball Lightening approach is worth considering.

[ChrisMoses]

OR, I could lose Crushing Blow or Follow Through to fit Melt Armor and Fireball vs. Electrifying Fences, Ball Lightning. Thoughts on that perspective?

[Frostweaver]

pool attacks tend to cost you momentum.

[hakurr]

this is what i run and with parasitic Aura i have very little End issues

I think the problem is probably that you are not using DNA Siphon enough, it should pretty much be used on cooldown at every spawn. It's important to use it when there are many targets because it is a stacking buff. Not only does it give you a chunk of end back, it also gives you a bunch of endurance regen based on how many targets you hit with it. I use it at the start of every fight and I rarely need to use Ageless because my end is empty, I also don't even run Physical Perfection and I have very little endurance issues.

In Health or Inexhaustible, add in the Panacea end proc in addition to your Miracle end recovery IO. Having Panacea proc in Ablative Carapace makes it so that it will only proc when you use that power, if you put it in health, it will fire by itself whenever possible.
In Physical Perfection you can add in another Performance Shifter endurance proc IO.

I would advice against running EPP or PPP attacks with Titan Weapon because it has negative synergy with your Momentum mechanic. Not only that but it will put your weapon away so that you need to redraw it when you restart your attack chains. TW has so many great attacks that it is very unnecessary to use others. You have 4 aoe attacks and 3 ST attacks, you don't need anything else especially if it negatively impacts your main attack sequence.
