Amras Build Benchmarks

[Auroxis]

Symphony/Nature Controller Auroxis Feywild (@Trailblazer/@Auroxis)

 

Pylon Time: 2:51 / 171 seconds
+0x8 w/ bosses Time: 4:56 / 296 seconds
+4x8 w/ bosses Time: 9:48 / 588 seconds

 

Note: Cones make it harder to pin down wide groups. Reverberant wants to be near the pack but if you go too close then the cones get too narrow to hit everything.

But I'm with Snarky. Attacking a pylon is the most useless task in game. It's so pointless because pylons don't hit back. 

There are pylons in the wild that do hit back if you want to get hit back lol

Again?!?

[Rinswind]

Heard about this from a friend and figured I'd throw some of my characters at it. A lot of them are built for concept and it shows lol, but I'm picking up some good ideas along the way and think I have a few respecs to do soon. My global is @Rinswind for all the entries!

 

AT: Corruptor

Powers: Water/Storm/Leviathan

Pylon Time: 198s

0x8 Time: 332s

4x8 Time: DNF

Character Name: Lord Poseidon

Comments: Way too squishy and probably needs a respec to handle +4. At least now I know just how rough it is.

 

AT: Tanker

Powers: Bio/SS/Energy

Pylon Time: 246s

0x8 Time: 286s

4x8 Time: 367s

Character Name: Mister Hyde

Comments: Gloom would probably help the pylon time, but... concept!

 

AT: Blaster

Powers: Fire/Atomic/Mace

Pylon Time: 191s

0x8 Time: 529s

4x8 Time: DNF

Character Name: Ichabod Foul

Comments: Even squishier than the corruptor, definitely not a solo friendly build at all. I might respec this one first and try again.

 

AT: Arachnos Soldier

Pylon Time: 84s

0x8 Time: 329s

4x8 Time: 522s

Character Name: Obadiah Shaw

Comments: No complaints lol. I can see a lot of ways to improve it though!

 

AT: Controller

Powers: Plant/Time/Energy

Pylon Time: 129s

0x8 Time: 320s

4x8 Time: 514s

Character Name: Lord of Sands

Comments: Really surprised this one did a pylon that fast. I was fearing the worst lol.

[Auroxis]

Created this MM on the test server (build attached):

 

Mastermind

Robots/FF

Pylon Time: 56s

0x8 w/ Bosses Time: 267s

4x8 w/ Bosses Time: 606s

 

Comment: Vengeance mobs really hurt Bots/FF (especially without insps, judgement and active hybrid) but it's doable even on +4x8.

Added latest build version for more pet accuracy

Just my honest feedback from doing a few runs. Take it as you will. I do plan to post some times, so please don't think I'm poo poo'ing what you are trying to achieve.

 

- I think you should require builds. If nothing else the identical build, piloted by the same player can post dramatically different clear times simply by swapping in teleport vs fly on an open map. Posted times are great to pique interest, but if I'd change something drastically in that build, that is what i'm interested in knowing before I jump into a new combo.

 

- Arbitrary rules: you need them of course. However, it seems strange to suggest that Control Hybrid (if that's what a build uses) has a larger affect than Ageless Destiny. I get banning hybrid on the pylon given how assault skews short fights, but imo if you can run assault hybrid and comfortably clear +4x8 content then good for you. It is strange to hand wave that away while potentially allowing builds that crutch ageless across all 3 tests.

 

- 0x8 is of questionable value. Does anyone care how easily you can blow up -1s with an endgame build? If your intent is to show build versatility then an exemplared 0x8 at like level 25-30 would make a lot more sense. Penny Yins are far more popular than 0x8 lvl 50 content ime and would go further to promote the strength of a combo + the build capability of the user.

Will definitely take this into consideration. At the very least, the requirement for builds does carry a lot of weight.

Thanks for the feedback!

If you wouldn't mind sharing the builds you ran this with, I'd be interested to see what your slotting choices were like.

• NO MIDS, LINUX SYSTEM.
• I ROTATE IN SOME NEW BUILDS FREQUENTLY, THESE  RUNNING THESE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS OR SO.
• BUILDS 1, 2 AND 3 BELOW.

added pics of builds 1, 2, 3... redo

[shortguy on indom]

• OK SO, WANTED TO TEST SOMETHING, SO RAN THE AE "CLEAR SPEED TEST" +0/8 MISSION WITH HELP. LOL
• ME (DEFENDER) AND A PUG RANDOM (CORRUPTOR).
• MY SOLO TIME W/BUILD #2 WAS 28MIN 49 SEC.....
• ME AND THE CORR TIME WAS ABOUT 7 MINUTES FLAT (GIVE OR TAKE 10 SECONDS)...

[Ratch_]

Mind/Storm/Leviathan Troller

0/8 Clear Speed: N/A (didn't do lol)
4/8 Clear Speed: ~660s
Pylon: ~300s

Build does great against mobs, chugs on bosses. Main thing that slows me down is low ST damage.

[Auroxis]

Gonna toss my Fire/Marine Controller times because no one else posted theirs yet.

Pylon - 87s
+0x8 w/ Bosses - 276s

Hello Everyone!

 

Just wanted to provide a small update on things here. I hope this has brought a new way to help you measure your characters to establish your own personal expectations. I'm available in discord more than in game these days if you ever need to reach me. 397966501182832641 is my discord User ID and @It's Amra is my in game global, feel free to ping me to chat or if there's any questions you may have. 

 

We have reached an end to our initial incentive, however, I wanted to extend additional entry incentives (mystery amount) based off recent donations for as long as they last. I hope to see more entries as time goes on, thank you for your support!

I still need to submit my Human only Kheldian times 😄 

[Auroxis]

1. Improved my Marine/DP Defender time on +4x8 to 513s

2. Ran benchmark on Stalker:

 

Elec Melee / Bio Stalker

 

Pylon - 149s
+0x8 w/ Bosses - 285s
+4x8 w/ Bosses - 450s

 

Comment: Runners are still a big issue on Stalker while soloing, but despite this you can get very good clear thanks to sheer burst DPS and a Snipe.

 

Build attached (courtesy of Bellator, only made a couple adjustments)

Build update on Marine/DP, switched to Vigor and more procs, working out well.

 

New times on Marine / Dual Pistols

Pylon - 128s
+0x8 w/ Bosses - 301s
+4x8 w/ Bosses - 475s

[Shin Magmus]

Player name or Global: Shin Magmus

AT: Brute

Powers: Rad/Fire

Pylon Time: 186 Seconds

0x8 Time: 223 Seconds

4x8 Time: 362 Seconds

Character Name: Mrs. Meltdown

Comment: Mrs. Meltdown is a triple-nerfed Rad/Fire Brute who I play out of sheer defiance... and who I recently broke 1,000 badges on.  This Brute is a struggle at the best of times and requires Cardiac Alpha and Barrier Destiny to have any chance of pushing relevant Resistances into safe territory vs +3 enemies.  The accuracy is also not great, because I sacrifice many set bonuses to load up with damage procs instead.

 

Here's Pillar 3:

Build will be on my guide once I test it this Friday in a 4*, however if needed earlier it is posted on discord/forums and available upon request 💛

Not sure where that came from, but the great part about mids builds is you don't have to follow them to the T as we all have our own preferences and priorities! 😄
