Standard build translation ... which means you'll want to wiggle things around a bit. I didn't really double check anything at all, just a straight up translation.

Armored Offensive Build ... if you want even more offense, you will have to go a completely different direction.

I could be wrong, but I thought they wanted a Soul build. Not sure if it matters though. The power boost would make Farsight more potent, so you probably just sub that in for dark consumption, and everything else is the same?

Tremalion · July 7, 2019

A different take on it for your perusal. This is actually the current build for my Time/Sonic/Soul and I'm happy with it. Should also be easy to make certain tweaks (e.g. swapping the Ragnarok 5-piece into Howl), though I don't think they are strictly needed.

Benchmarks:

- Perma-Hasten and perma-Chrono Shift.

- Near-softcap to all personal positional defenses with non-Power Boosted Farsight. Approaches the Incarnate softcap with Power Boosted Farsight (which is the only kind I ever use). Provides around 37% all defenses to the rest of the team via that and Maneuvers. Add Time's Juncture and this build can make most teams untouchable all by itself (at least, until they get overconfident and wander off and miss the Farsight refresh. But that's what Vengeance is for!).

- Perma-Fortunata, with softcapped defenses and Temporal Selection. Makes soloing much easier!

- Slowed Response -> Amplify (w/ Gaussian's) -> Dreadful Wail every 37 seconds. Usually just cleanup after that.

Idiosyncracies:

- Minimal slotting in Distortion Field. I don't think procs are worthwhile for pulsing fields anymore (tried it and was very disappointed), and the random hold duration never struck me as needing enhancement. I use it as a slowing field to contain spawns and control choke points and find it does its job exceptionally well that way with only minimal investment.

- Time Crawl could probably be cut entirely from the build. I left it in because I like being able to contribute to -regen against AVs and cripple the occasional tough Boss, but it's honestly not amazing. I might replace it with some other more broadly-applicable utility in the future (maybe Super Speed for better Stealthing).

And the elephant in the room, which probably requires some explanation:

- I skipped Soul Drain. Blasphemy, I know, but hear me out. In practical terms Soul Drain is in competition with Amplify to act as a damage spike, and traditionally that has been an easy choice in favor of Soul Drain. However, I think things have changed. With the PPM calculations we have now the Gaussian proc goes off a lot in Amplify and when it does, it far outclasses what Soul Drain can offer. Sure you could slot Gaussian into SD, but because of the way the PPM system disadvantages AoE attacks it'll fire less reliably and less often. Amplify also requires zero additional slots (SD needs heavy slotting to be usable), is available every time Dreadful Wail is off cooldown (SD will not be), executes far faster (Soul Drain's animation takes an eternity, and on teams a spawn may very well evaporate before it's done), and it costs a fraction of the endurance. The hard fact is that the only advantage Soul Drain offers is a longer buff duration, and that's only valuable if things are still alive ten seconds later. I find that after I use Dreadful Wail (which I can do all the time) there's rarely a need to do more than a little cleanup, which my Fortunata and I can handle just fine. If I used Soul Drain instead, I'd actually finish the spawn slower and/or have leftover buff duration that isn't useful, and the unsynced recharge times would mean I would often have to choose to either fire DW unbuffed or wait for SD to come off cooldown before tackling a spawn. Amplify is always up.

TL;DR a 6-slotted Soul Drain would be more resource intensive and do the job worse than a 1-slotted Amplify does. I know that sounds wild, but I'm basing this on enough actual play that I feel very confident saying it. In a PPM world of quick-recharging crashless nukes, Amplify is better than Soul Drain.

Amplify is always up.

I like your breakdown but what I highlighted is the only thing I feel is inaccurate justification. Due to Soul Drain having a 240 second base recharge and only a 10 foot radius, my calculations show that you can still achieve a 90% probability to proc off of 1 target with 113.5% recharge in Soul Drain. That 90% is the maximum probability to proc, which your Amplify will have. However, I believe Soul Drain would have a 90% probability to proc on each target it hits. So if you hit 3 targets, you would have a 99.9% probability to proc.

Other than that, I like your take. You can have amplify up every ~30 seconds and have a 90% chance to proc, with only using 1 slot. Or you could have Soul Drain up every ~60 seconds and have a near guaranteed chance to proc (if you hit a mob), but it will cost you more slots. Also, Soul Drain will stay boosted (sans proc) for 30 seconds (and likely boosted for more damage that amplify), whereas Amplify will wear off in 10 seconds. There's definitely plenty of tradeoffs, but like you said, Amplify + Proc + Dreadful Wail will typically take care of the mob, so you won't need more than that.

Guassian procs reliably in SD. I personally tend to put it in aim so that it helps boost damage when malfactored at lower levels. (I potentially malfactor more often than most players)

I've not tested the "in-between" build of Soul->Souldrain. I went with the nearly perma Dark-Souldrain vs more heavily armored Force of Nature build. Most of my current builds are on Sould->Souldrain, the only one I tested (recently) both builds on is time/dp. But, regardless, I think you can reasonable interpolate what you can expect, assuming similar endpoint Tier 4 Incarnate builds.

Time/Fire/Dark-Souldrain: 310 st dps 12 mpl (inverse aoe)

Time/Dp/Dark-Souldrain: 280 st dps 13 mpl (inverse aoe)

Time/Dp/Sould-Souldrain: <interpolate>

Time/Dp/Power-FoN: 210 st dps 16 mpl (inverse aoe)

Fair. I'll admit that I didn't break out the napkin math for Soul Drain and assumed that the AoE penalty would be higher, so I'm willing to readily concede the point. I'll stand by my argument in favor of Amplify since I think it is still the better tool for the job (especially when playing a set as busy as Time, I think the ease-of-use that Amp offers actually makes a big difference), but I appreciate the corrections. I don't want to be guilty of spreading bad information.
