[Kelador]

I like to have more defense in my builds this is what Im working towards its not perfect as its a mix and match of old builds but Im trying to make a PVE build that will be good for most content so its expensive and require ageless to work you can take consume before then to help out.

Here's one that I made that doesn't gimp running missions/TFs/etc. for farming or vice versa.  Once you get some incarnate stuff it really begins to roll.  It has the S/L def at 46.2, Just shy of perma-hasten by 1.5 sec (but in reality with the +rech proc from KO blow & foot stomp it's perma.) and it has good resistance with even over 40 to psi dmg.

Yes, I know - it's a dead thread. 

In a feeble effort to be helpful, I've looked at these builds - but was too lazy to manually insert them into the current version of mids. It can be a bit annoying for the player looking for ideas to see links that are out of date, or involve installing build planners that are not generally used by most folks. That's not to say they shouldn't used - but I know most folks I know use Mids Reborn, and the idea of using a different planner is an annoyance for me. 

So, since I'm currently playing an SS/Fire brute, I've made my own version. While it could fire farm, (I think, it's not even level 40 yet) that's not the purpose of this character. There are better primaries for a brute for that purpose. This was just about fun. 

I went with fold space more for foot stomp than burn. Burn is capped at 5 targets although anecdotally, the mobs are so clustered together, I find it pretty much impossible to tell how many are burning up. Fire is such a weak armor compared to other sets. No Defense Debuff resistance. No KB protection. Gotta burn slots to tackle the latter, and Ageless is the ONLY defense, aside from defense against getting hit from the debuffing attack in the first place. (aside from any teammates you might have...I dunno if any team buffs mitigate that) Focused Accuracy can address the -ToHit debuff, but not any other. But, in exchange for that, you get burn, glorious burn. 

Rage is essentially perma and stackable, just not quite all the time. There is the rage crash - but even then, the impact of foot stomp is enough to mitigate most incoming damage, as they're all bouncing in the air. At least, that's how I've dealt with it. Most of the time, the timing of the rage crash happens while taking an elevator or hopping from one fight to the next, so it's seldom a big deal. 

I really wanted to proc out burn - but when you do this - it's at the expense of set bonuses. I also considered not using procs in KO blow, but there will come times when you need single target damage more than AoE - as in the case of AVs. There is a trade-off with using them, and they're not for everyone. I lose out on set bonuses, and for that exchange, I get 130 more damage (comparing the current slotting vs 6 slotted hecatomb) 

I wouldn't have minded the extra recharge, but on the whole, I looked at the recharge for KO Blow, thinking that the hecatomb set might let it recharge a bit faster, but mids doesn't seem to notice a difference. I'll have to go to test and try it out to be certain, but for now, the KO blow stays proc'd. 

I make no claims that this build is better than any other. From a numbers perspective, the S/L resists are as high as I could make them, and even that comes at a cost of regen, hp, defense and dps. All characters have a balance between chaos (dps) and order (survivability). This build probably leans more towards order than chaos. 

But, so far, it's been quite fun.

If you can spare a slot, pop a force feed back + recharge into foot stomp.  Will help get rage back just a little bit sooner.

[Ukase]

No, I respectfully disagree. 

I could certainly be misunderstanding how this proc in particular works, but I plugged that in to the proc calculator. That's with NO recharges in it at all. That's just not worth the slot to me. Ordinarily, in a single target attack with this high a base recharge, that'd be worth it. (as evidenced in KO Blow) But since it's AoE, the odds of firing are just a smidge over 1 in 4 times. 

 Some folks might think as often as it would be used, it would be worth it, and perhaps I should try it first - but my gut says the odds of firing are just too low. 

 

With the avalanche set in, and just adding the slot from....somewhere, lol, 

 

 

I encourage everyone to use Bopper's spreadsheet when deciding on if a proc is worth it or not. And also consider your alpha slot, as that does impact (negatively) if you've got an alpha that improves recharge. In this case, I think I'm going Cardiac - but more for the extra resistance that exceeds diminishing returns.

I used to have one in Foot Stomp long, long, ago.  While the chances to proc are low on AoEs, each target has a chance to set it off.  If you are footstomping in a crowd, you get the proc to go off most of the time. 

 

If you have a 1 in 5 chance to go off, but 10 targets, what are the odds that it will go off at least once.  Don't ask me.  I dropped Statistics in college and that was decades ago!

Well, I think I heard that before, but I could never find anything to confirm it - and I am sometimes chronically lazy when it comes to investing time in what should be a leisure activity. 

I actually passed Statistics..but not by much, lol. Given that info, I will remove the Chance for heal from Superior Conditioning and add the slot in foot stomp.

I took it (also decades ago) and passed!  If memory serves, it's the Binomial Theorum of Probability.  I would think that because the denominator would be 5⁹, it would be 99.9%-ish.

given enough recharge FS can get low.  Like 6-8 second recharge + the animation time.  Per minute, thats a lot of 17.5% chance to fire off quite often.

 

you can toss a 1 quarter 100 times at 10 times a minute for 10 minutes to get 50/50 odds with 6 seconds between a toss

you can toss 10 quarters 10 times in 1 minute.  Still going to be 50/50 with 6 seconds between each toss.

You're still getting the same results, just in different time frame as you increased the number of coins tossed while decreasing time

 

Or Im talking out of my ass, really tired right now and never took statistics like you guys.  I look at things long term not maximize per click, just for average performance above normal.  KO on 4 minions and it goes off 1 or KO a boss 4 times, still going to go off once.  Not 100% guarantee for 4 minions or 1 boss, but in 60 seconds it should fire off at least 1 time in 20 minions or 4 bosses.  But thats just me
