Archermonkey Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hi all! It's been a while since I've tried to make a really high-end Controller, so I thought I'd post here to get some feedback from y'all if you're so-inclined. C&C very welcome.

Archermonkey Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago Because there doesn't seem to be an option to download the build to Mids in my last post (I'm not great with the export options) here's one now: Antikytherion - Controller (Illusion Control - Radiation Emission).mbd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uun Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago No need to enhance the defense debuff in Radiation Infection. Superior Invisibility needs end reduction. I would take Spectral Wounds over Arcane Bolt. Even with fewer proc options and the heal back, the DPA is much higher. In Phantom Army switch the recharge IO for Soulbound Allegience: Chance for Build Up Slot Lingering Radiation with 1 acc IO and 2 recharge IOs. The slow is just a side benefit. You want this power up for the 500% -regen. Slot Spectral Terror with Cloud Senses or Siphon Insight. You want to enhance the -tohit, not the fear. Choking Cloud should be slotted with 2 or 3 end/hold IOs. It doesn't require accuracy or recharge. Slot Phantasm with Expedient Reinforcement. It gets killed a lot. Don't bother slotting Group Invisibility for defense. Half the defense suppresses in combat and the remainder is really small. Slot Frozen Armor for defense, not resistance. Recharge IOs in Hasten should be boosted to +5. Hasten should also be taken much sooner if you intend to exemp. Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Without_Pause Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago You could rather easily remove the Damage IO in Ice Blast and use that slot elsewhere. You could also stick another damage proc in there. The 6-slot bonus isn't that useful. Your Ranged And AoE Def are higher than your Psi Def so those the far more likely value to get used. The amount of Psi melee in the game is honestly minute. I don't get the Chance for KD in PA. I don't think they do KB to begin with. They certainly don't do it at the level that Phantasm does. The Chance to Self Heal feels a bit wasted on a build with a self heal already. Sure, PA makes mitigation trivial, but you could easily add in more of it. I would add in Flash and skip on Group Invis. Move the IOs in Spectral Terror to Flash. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Emma Strange: Ill/dark Controller. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Hesitation: Claws/sr Scrapper. 8. Within Reach: Axe/stone Brute. 9. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 10. Chasing Fireworks: Fire/time Controller. "Downtime is for mortals. Debt is temporary. Fame is forever."

All fantastic points, thank you! 2 hours ago, Uun said: I would take Spectral Wounds over Arcane Bolt. Even with fewer proc options and the heal back, the DPA is much higher. That's surprising! I'm seeing what you mean, plus it can get me some extra Ranged/AoE defense by not worrying about procs. 2 hours ago, Uun said: Slot Lingering Radiation with 1 acc IO and 2 recharge IOs. The slow is just a side benefit. You want this power up for the 500% -regen. Does it really need to be recharging before the duration is up? 2 hours ago, Uun said: Choking Cloud should be slotted with 2 or 3 end/hold IOs. It doesn't require accuracy or recharge. This one was almost entirely for the set bonuses. Thanks so much for the feedback, that helped tighten things up quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly don't do it at the level that Phantasm does. That's because it's also a Chance for KD, not just KB->KD. It means that they'll be doing soft controls with KD frequently, at least in theory. 1 hour ago, Without_Pause said: The Chance to Self Heal feels a bit wasted on a build with a self heal already.

I did have Flash in the build initially, but I found that I just didn't really like it, mostly because it was up so rarely. EM Pulse was better, but the End debuff was painful.

It means that they'll be doing soft controls with KD frequently, at least in theory. Then that's terrible wording on the IOs part. PA essentially has a Taunt aura so I've never worried about them attacking something and the target then attacking me. They are immune, so the benefit seems small.

Uun Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 1 hour ago, Archermonkey said: Does it really need to be recharging before the duration is up? If you can do it, yes. Both the -regen and slow stack and it's a powerful tool against AVs. Maybe just go with 1 acc and 1 rech. In any case, the acc/slow piece you have slotted doesn't provide enough accuracy so at a minimum it should be replaced with an acc IO.
