(Night Widow) Okay, so I've got some stupid build requirements I adhere to.

[Major_Decoy]

Firstly: No hasten.

Secondly: I was trying to get as close to 45% without mind link active.

 

Those are my hard guidelines. I don't necessarily feel like I need to skip the fighting pool, but I hit the goal without it. The problem is that the build predates pain tolerance and I would like to slot it, which means finding slots to reassign.

 

While I'm at it, I'm also considering dropping Dart Burst, but I haven't fully decided.

[KaizenSoze]

Can I ask why the build constraints? I am all for experiments, so I am curious.

 

Also, might effect what I suggest.

[Major_Decoy]

Hasten:

1. I try to balance my builds endurance-wise pre-incarnate and very few of my characters don't notice the crash.

2. Only one ctrl+click

3. It doesn't feel necessary, outside of Mind Link, all of my powers seem to recharge pretty quickly.

 

Softcap without Mind Link:

I. The incarnate cap is 15% higher than the normal softcap, right?

2. It keeps me from getting locked in to any particular alpha slot

 

No fighting pool:

1) I kind of resent the fighting pool. I play a lot of tanks and it is very nice to have but I also hate feeling like it's required. (I suppose this also applies to hasten?)

2) Endurance costs.

 

100% Slow Recharge resist:

1) it seemed attainable and it was nice to have.

 

I suppose I also neglected to include my stupidest build constraint: I try to aim for whole number +global recharge% values. No good reason, I just prefer it. It is not a hard and fast rule, on characters I'm not building for recharge bonuses, I tend to just get whatever bonus I get and not pay any attention to what the end value is.

 

I tried for a Fortunata build under similar constraints too (I was not able to get 100% slot recharge resist):

Edit: For purposes of character theme, I kind of want to lean more Fortunata, but for purpose of game play, I'm much more familiar and comfortable playing the Night Widow.

Edited Sunday at 09:23 PM by Major_Decoy

[tidge]

I avoid the Fighting pool and Hasten for similar reasons.

 

I have some (older) builds... this version of the Fortunata does include Hasten... I popped it in after a respec to try out Fate Sealed, and it is pretty late in the build. IIRC I wanted to see if I could get some quicker return times on some longer powers.

This isn't a real, thorough review, just drive-by thoughts.

 

A debuff proc in Smoke Grenade means it WILL notify mobs when you use it.  Personally I use that power as a means of clicking glowies, not wanting to be seen, so I never use debuff (or damage) procs in such a power.

 

I love Rune for Veats.  I would strongly suggest moving a resist from Foresight to Rune, preferably an Unbreakable Guard and +5 it.  

 

Is Rectified Reticle unique really providing any value?  You've already got TT:L.  Maybe you're PVPing?  With my Widows in PVE I don't have an issue seeing mobs that try to blind me.  You could put another LotG there instead.

Yeah, I had noticed that about Smoke Grenade, but I haven't gotten around to unslotting it because I barely used Smoke Grenade anyway. I thought I might be able to get away with it because it didn't do damage. You are absolutely right that it'd be a more useful tool without it.

 

You're right, I'd still hit 85% Psionic Resist with Mind Link up if I lost one of the resist enhancements there. But I also need slots for Pain Tolerance.

 

I don't really pvp. I'll show up in the zones now and then, but if I get attacked, I just leave. The main reason for Rectified Reticle is just because I get kind of paranoid about it. I've had too many missions on my tanks where I was thinking "wow, this building is pretty empty" and I had just forgotten that I had smoke in my eyes. I think I could shave another 4 seconds off of Mind Link (the Fortunata version) if I dropped it and added a Luck of the Gambler, but then I'd be at 2.5 (modulo 5)

That is an export from the game using /buildsave I think the game exports "Strike" as "Lunge".

Take a look at the Build.txt file.  It's more likely that MRB misinterprets "Strike" as "Lunge".  If so, should report it as a MRB bug.

 

 

[KaizenSoze]

A bit late, but real life is keeping me busy.

 

If you are going to be soloing a lot, then Smoke Grenade can be useful or you'll need to range pull more. Especially in Kallisti Wharf.

 

Dart Burst is inherit problematic for a melee Fort, because you need to step out of melee to use it. I would swap it for Spin, which is much more useful in melee.

 

Also, TK blast will randomly KB mob from you. I only take it for the Force Feedback recharge. If you want a good ranged attack, look at Gloom.

 

I prefer the Guassian Build Up proc in Aim.

 

A few tricks to increase defense.

Two Blessing of Zephyr give you 1.25 ranged defense.  

Look at four Shield Wall pieces to give you 4.5 eng/n eng resists.

Two Blessing of Zephyr give you 1.25 ranged defense.  

Look at four Shield Wall pieces to give you 4.5 eng/n eng resists.

 

 

Dart Burst is on my Night Widow build. I think I took it as part of a plan to try soloing Archvillains, getting the -25% regeneration from both dart powers to stack, but in practice it doesn't seem entirely useful. I haven't gotten rid of it because I like having chance for Terrorize in Psychic Scream (thematically) and I don't have another place to slot Frozen Blast on my Night Widow build.

 

The problem with Gloom is that it isn't psionic themed at all, and for character concept reasons, I want to lean more into psionic damage. It's why I think I want to move more into a Fortunata build. On the Night Widow build, I'm thinking of dropping Dart for Mental Blast. It's slower, but only about 10% slower. I don't know how that's going to play.

 

I thought that with Fate Sealed it was a guaranteed Knockback on the Telekinetic Blast. I was thinking of doing it on the Fortunata build because sometimes knockback is nice, like the last hit against a Super Stunner. (also Telekinetic Blast has the fastest animation, and taking Telekinetic Blast at first level would allow me to take Strike instead of Swipe)

 

I do typically like the Guassian Build-Up proc in Aim or Build-up, but I do want the 2.5% defense (Ranged, Melee, AoE) from the six set bonus. But while putting it in Aim gives me more control over when it procs, I understand that it procs more often in tactics (I also recall (and I could be mistaken) that I get roughly 8 times as many build-up procs on a team of eight)

 

So, I did try a rebuild of the Fortunata Build. As I said earlier, I'm thinking of trading Telekinetic Blast for Subdue and Swipe for Strike. I'm on the fence about dropping power transfer. I take it on every tank, but the Fortunata only has 1228 health, so I might be able to spend that slot better somewhere else (maybe to get Kismet +6% to hit back into the build) What do you think?

[Major_Decoy]

Okay, so this Night Widow build drops Dart and Dark Blast, picks up Mental Blast and Soul Tentacles (to have a place for Frozen Blast) and Darkest Night (just because Darkest Night is an awesome debuff), it's only about 84% psionic resist even with mindlink up, but it's got Rune of Protection as an Emergency Button.

 

The sticking point is that (without Mindlink active) it's 43.6% Ranged and AoE defense and 46% melee, which concerns be because a lot of ranged attacks have -defense. But it does have perma-Mindlink and 100% recharge resist, so it should be up at all times.

Okay, so this Night Widow build drops Dart and Dark Blast, picks up Mental Blast and Soul Tentacles (to have a place for Frozen Blast) and Darkest Night (just because Darkest Night is an awesome debuff), it's only about 84% psionic resist even with mindlink up, but it's got Rune of Protection as an Emergency Button.

 

The sticking point is that (without Mindlink active) it's 43.6% Ranged and AoE defense and 46% melee, which concerns be because a lot of ranged attacks have -defense. But it does have perma-Mindlink and 100% recharge resist, so it should be up at all times.

Sorry, forgot about Fate Sealed.

 

You're right Kallisti Wharf, especially Freaklok, have a lot of -defense. More than enough at +3 to gut your defense in 1-2 hits.

 

Ageless Radial gives a lot of debuff resistance, but it's best used after getting hit with -defense.

[Troo]

@Major_Decoy Why the LotG Def/End in Combat Jumping? The endurance does little there, right?

 

Also, in Spirit Tree you have the Preventive Medicine: Chance for +Absorb; Are you using Spirit Tree a lot? I take Spirit Tree but rarely use it.. So I do one of the globals rather than a 'chance for'. 

If there's a good reason I am willing to switch how I've done it.

Probably a miscllick, I was playing around with different slottings and removed the wrong enhancement by accident.

 

The Chance for +Absorb in Preventative Medicine is a global bonus. It's tied to your health and not the use of the power.

What about the Fortunata build? Do you recommend Subdue and Swipe or Telekinetic Blast and Strike?

[Burnt Umber]

You might want to drop the two bits of BotZ in Combat Jumping and Mystic Flight to re-allocate them to Indom. Will, which would let you slot Aegis for AoE def.  You could also maybe shuffle a couple of slots into follow-up and replace the winter set in it and the Hecatomb in Slash with Mako's to get a few points more Ranged.  The Winter Travel unique could then go in Mystic flight to capture the lost slow resist. Finally, I think Gloom might be a better pick for ranged attack over mental blast; you could crop smoke grenade for that, and just use the day job smoke grenades that offer the same debuff values and benefits without spending the power pick.

 

FWIW, I have a Night Widow build with similar build goals: no hasten or fighting, and non-perma Mindlink.  I attached my build below for reference.

To get more AoE defense from Aegis I'd need to free up five slots to put into Indomitable Will (I'm not going to drop Steadfast Protection +3% defense from my build to add Aegis). Dropping the Blessing of the Zephyr only gets me three slots. If I drop both heal slots from Pain Tolerance and move Steadfast Protection there, I've got that. Then I can swap out Hecatomb for Mako's Bite and get to 46m, 45r, 48a. If I then swap out the four slots of Blistering Cold for four slots of Superior Spider's Bite, 6 slots of Superior Avalanche for 5 slots of Armageddon, and 2 slots of Power Transfer for 3 slots Synapse's Shock. I'd still be at 100% slow, 88 second recharge on Mindlink, and 46%, 45%, 46%. I'd only lose about 100 health from Pain Tolerance and about 160 health per minute from Power Transfer.

 

Gloom is not a good option because it is, critically, not a psionic attack. I took Soul Tentacles because I needed another Ranged AoE for Frozen Blast and I was sick of dart burst. If I could have taken another psionic attack instead, I would have. 

 

I might end up dropping Smoke Grenade because, as it turns out, I forget to slot the Spider's Bite: global chance for Toxic Damage somewhere, and I can't just stick in in brawl.
