Elec/Dark Controller Build

[subbacultchas]

This is the current build I'm working from, minus the Ragnarok set (Currently Thunderstrike). It softcaps positional defenses, caps S/L resistances (others 35-50), 138% recharge, ~20% health, and Soul Absorption gives huge recovery and keeps regen between 500-1000% with groups. It's a fun build to play, probably one of the most survivable ones I have, and looking for any changes I could make to it. I dislike 6 slotting immob, but was hurting for the last bit of melee defense and didn't want to slot toughness for it. Currently running Agility alpha for the extra recharge/defense/end mod, but I'm open to suggestions for the other slots (only missing hybrid).

 

 

I appreciate any input or questions, and hopefully someone else might find this useful too.

Well, I remembered last night that there's a second +3 def all IO in one of the PVP sets. So this weekend I'll be slotting that which should free up 3 sets of set IO's in other powers, including being able to remove slots from immob. I reckon I'll remove 3 slots from that, shift the Controller ATO from single to multi-target holds, which will also allow me to frankenslot my single target hold with damage and hold sets. Not sure what other slottings I'll strip the set IOs for defense from, but I can see a lot more possibilities opening up.

 

I'll repost when I have a working build.

Did you ever get it settled down?

 

Also how are Gremlins? I've never played with them - are they able to do decent damage and survive?

[subbacultchas]

I did get it settled, and it's a much better build IMO. I think I'm only missing one partial set now to consider the build done, at least slot-wise. The Gremlins are pretty fierce, and really don't die unless I'm farming +2/x8 or above and aggroing 2-3 groups. Part of that is due to +def/+res slots on them, but also a large amount of the same from my buffs and +regen.

 

I was going to post it here but got distracted by Steam's Summer Sale. I'll post it this week though, as I made a questionable decision that I would like feedback on (procs in aoe immob).

[subbacultchas]

This is my current build, minus the slotting in Fire Blast which I'm working on. The only thing I'm unsure on is the slotting in Chain Fences, but since I use that a lot I decided to add some procs to it. Still softcaps positional defenses, 75 s/l res, and 35-55 in most other resistances. Currently running Agility Alpha, Ion Judgment, Reactive Interface, Robot Drones Lore, Clarion Destiny, and Assault Hybrid (working for doublehit) all in T2-T3. Suggestions or criticism more than welcome.
