Build Request: Dual Pistols/Devices

[Excalibur]

Hey gang, been a while since I've played and done an actual, reliable build. Was looking for opinions on something for DP/Devices, since I have a Beam/Devices fella and looooove me some Field Operative. (Also, Devices for the theming I'm going with)

Also curious if in this build I should slap a ton of damage proc chances into Hail of Bullets, but unsure on the math behind it.

I'll answer the Hail of Bullets question:  No.  

 

For this particular power, a SO Damage Enhancement is slightly more powerful than a Damage Proc.  Once you enhance the damage up to 95%, then add a proc or two.  Something like 5 of the Scirocco's Dervish (including the proc) and then the Obliteration proc.  That way you still get 5 of the Scirocco's Dervish set bonuses.

 

If you went with a ton of damage procs, your average damage might be similar but very streaky as sometimes you miss a lot and others you hit a lot.  Plus you lose the set bonuses.

 

But I will say the nice thing with damage procs is that if they hit, you get the damage immediately as opposed to the power's DoT.

 

For most powers, you can use Mids Reborn to play with proc chances and average damage, just be aware that some of the entries have bad math... most notably if a pet or pseudo-pet is summoned.
