That build is geared towards big Resistance numbers via alternating RoP and Melee Core Hybrid (which doesn't work so well ever since the change to Rune of Protection duration)... and whilst it's still "durable" without those... IMO gaining ~20% additional res to E/N/F/C at the cost of having virtually no Global Recharge or Damage Procs and ~40% less MaxHP is quite a large build compromise. And yes, a few of the slotting arrangements make little sense (SMoT in Jab for example - and using KO Blow as a Mule for a Winter's Set...) but it's useful as a starting point and/or showcase.

They've also been debated to death before - one of my favourite exchanges is on one of Diantane's old rant threads.

 

That was an interesting read of a thread. 😄 It definitely seems like it's quite the compromise, but it is durable. One thing that bugged me about the build that I forgot to mention was the added knockback to Footstomp.

The Arachnos Mu guys are definitely a pain, especially when a bunch of them spawn together. They are a case where Hand Clap is helpful, since they don't really get knocked down but do get stunned. I don't find any other Arachnos very difficult, so I always target the Mu first. But if there's a lot of them (or two Bosses) and you don't like relying on inspirations or Incarnate powers, Unstoppable is also a last resort option.

 

I don't mind using inspirations, I just don't like relying on random drops for endurance. I don't mind using incarnate powers either (Although in the back of my head I am wondering how feasible it is to get multiple tier 4s on live servers).

 

I ended up throwing up some binds and tried out the Banished Pantheon Radial and they definitely put in the work. On a slight adjacent note, does anyone here know if it's possible to issue goto commands while not leaving mouse look mode?

 

For powers like translocation (Mystic flight's teleport), one can use powexeclocation cursor/target/0:max/etc. Translocation, but I'm not sure if an equivalent exists for pet commands like goto that require a click.

 

In any case, I appreciate the support. You folks have provided wonderful builds and I'm having a hard time deciding which one I want to stick with. The test server is my new home now. xD

Run the first DA Arc (Heather Townshend) through Ouroboros Flashback; and at the end pick the "Incarnate Components" option.
You'll get 1x Empyrean Merit plus a decent chance for a Rare or Very Rare Incarnate Salvage drop of your choice.

It's a very fast arc to complete (easily <20mins if you're not intentionally dawdling) and because it counts as incarnate content once you have all your level buffs from existing T3+ Incarnate Abilities then you start to drastically outlevel the foes and utterly steamroll everything. Decent source of EXP on +4x8 too if you're looking for Vet Levels.

If you get sick of it, you can always just email Empyrean or Transcendent Merits to yourself from alts.

I believe you'll need to actually perform a click with a GOTO command.
The closest would probably be to use a FOLLOW and then a STAY command (which is just "GOTO the point where you are already standing" under the hood)
