Auroxis Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) 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.

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 1 1 Build Benchmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinswind Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auroxis Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) 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.

Frosticus Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 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. 3 1 Earth/Psi Dom - AV killer Arsenal/Sav Dom - AV Killer Poison - a guide to the most deadly poisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, the requirement for builds does carry a lot of weight. Thanks for the feedback! 1 Build Benchmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch_ Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
