jprewitt73 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I recently restarted playing the game a couple weeks ago after being gone for many years, and I jumped right in to trying out a combo I have never played before. Time Manipulation was not on Live when I played last, and I have a lot of fun with the set. As always though, any help from someone with more experience would be greatly appreciated. Please take a look and let me know what you think. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.6https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Carnifax Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) So first thing is Time does the things you normally chase Set Bonuses to do (Def & Recharge). This is great for you because it frees you up to chase other things like Procs. Sadly Psi doesn't proc that well. Also toggles & patches don't do well with procs, so I tend to put them in "direct" attacks. Took my Time/Sonic and rejigged them to Time/Psi. I prefer Snipes / Quick Snipes to standard attacks so replaced Subdue with the snipe. Also Scramble Thoughts is kinda meh, you don't have a lot of other Stun to stack it with. So I dumped it for the nuke. Time is one of the few builds where the Epic pets from Villains can be permaed (and Soul has Power Boost for that critical PB > Farsight combo) so I went Soul for them. This isn't cheap. Feel free to replace the Winters sets with "normal" alternatives. The ATT sets (Defenders Bastion & Vig Assault) are very good value. They're basically Purples but at 1/3rd of the price (or used to be). I always split Sup Vig Assault 3 and 3 into two powers for the +10% recharge bonus twice.

cupquake Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I definitely appreciate the insight. I will update my build with some of your thoughts. My main reason for adding as much recharge I did was so that I could have perms hasten and perma farsight. So I will definitely have to look at changing some things around. Quick question. When I am running Power Boosted Farsight I am well into being soft capped for defense. I just don’t seem to have much of a need for Time’s Juncture and barely use it during teaming. Is this something I really need to keep in my build if I barely even use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifax Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) It does have some -dam as well so not useless. Knocking 25/30% off a boss (or AV, they only use their resists to resist -dam not the 85% they get to other debuffs). Also handy to act like a buffer against defense debuffs if you're in close (-ToHit to them is like +Def for you) Mostly I have it for the set bonus and cool swirly FX. It fits my character (troll DJ). I've run whole TFs without realising it's switched off Edited January 13, 2023 by Carnifax My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
