Trick Arrow updates on the beta server

[KaizenSoze]

I am trying to test out Trick Arrow on different ATs. This is my ninja/TA.

 

I am not a mastermind expert, but I was at 51 able to solo 4x8 council and cots. And I only lost one minion over both missions.

 

Pretty low stress, Flash Arrow, move in, start debuffing and AOEing. The pets did the rest.

 

FA: -18% tohit

PSA: -30% damage, effective 30% resists

Acid Arrow, -20? to defense. Pets had no issues hitting at 4x8

 

Here's the build, it's probably got a dozen things wrong with it, but it worked pretty well.

 

Of course, this build doesn't reflect the beta server changes, but the slotting is the same regardless.

How did you get -18% tohit debuff with Flash Arrow? I tossed together a build on beta and FA's base is -6.75% tohit. Slotted aggressively, it would probably have around -10%. Was that including Jounin's Blinding Powder?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I see where I made a mistake. It's -6.75% resistable + -6.75% unresistable.  So a total of -13.5% to most enemies, unenhanced. That change alone will improve TA by a lot.

I used Intuition Radial to up my -tohit plus my slotting.

I took my long-since-retired Demons/TA into beta and then respecc’ed.  It’s actually playable now, not as much a powerhouse like my Thugs or Bots/Time or Demon or Thugs/Storm.  But definitely can notice the buffs to /TA.

 

Still doubt I’ll be playing it though.  I just don’t think these buffs go far enough on MM’s to make it now a must-play secondary.  

 

YMMV of course.
