I'm slowly gaining knowledge about builds.   I still have a long ways to go.  Right now I tend to take other peoples builds and start to dig into them to see what makes them roll.   That is why in other threads I've posted results showing what happens when the primary/secondary skills are removed,  just to see what the pool selections are offering to the build. 

 

After reading Maxzero's Thugs/Storm Build and the Proc Monster thread from the Defender forum, specifically the Trick Arrow build that is posted there.   I have made an initial attempt to merge the two into a Beast/TA build for any Ranger/Bow using MM's that exist out there.      I know that it needs a lot of refining, I myself have not built it in game and I haven't tested the proc rates yet, so its all a thought experiment.    I was going to say "theory" but I don't have the underlying math knowledge to qualify it as a "theory". So lets just call it a thought experiment. 

 

  • Summon Wolves, has the  Shield Breaker proc and Lady Grey Negative damage proc because they have 2 attacks on short cool down that have -def effects.   6 sec and 8 sec.
  • Summon Lions has no procs in it.  I couldn't find any good procs to go with the abilities that they have.  Nothing seemed very useful.   So I put a Luck of the Gambler def bonus in there.
  • Dire Wolf has Lady Grey proc in it.  
  • All 6 MM pet auras are present.

 

I'm sure better minds than mind could refine this build even further.  I was able to get S/L def to 40.3% and Energy to 39.5%.  Even as it is. The defenses aren't that great.  However, I was able to get procs spread around pretty well.    This build is without any incarnates.  So I have no idea how that would impact the build.   I tend to build without incarnates because they take forever to achieve.

Someone mentioned defense IO's were not enhancing anything in Lions (Actually, I could have sworn that was you). Slot a fourth SCotMM IO to get a +10% recharge bonus instead of +7.5%.

 

I think the Impeded Swiftness proc would trigger more often in the Dire Wolf than Lady Grey. Though smashing is more resisted throughout the game.

 

Player named Steeves mentioned the Dire Wolf is bugged. Slotting 3 even level damage SO's should bring his damage bonus to around +96% but is only bumping him up to +63%. I tried it myself and he's right, though it might be a visual bug.

 

I recommend making the best build you can without procs. Then work backwards and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to add them in.

Yeah, it was me that was talking about the def io's in lions.    For some reason, I was thinking the LoTG def/+ recharge speed IO, meant that the +def affected me and not the pets.  That is why I put it in there.  That probably isn't correct though, its probably just the +rech that affects the MM.   I'm still learning.      I've done some tweaking to this build and got the defenses a bit higher,  I also removed the LotG in Lions and put in a 4th SCotMM.    I was able to get 46.4% S/L, and 45.5 Energy def.  

 

But before I spend all the inf. I need to do some testing on the procs in the beasts.     To tell the truth.  I think that the coding for Beast pets is pretty messed up right now.   There is absolutely no telling what will work or not work with them.
