    I have finally decided to make a Kheldian and have decided to go with a Human-Form Warshade. I have put a build together and I'm surprised at how happy I am with how it looks. It does rely heavily on +Recharge so avoiding Mobs with -Recharge effects will be important while solo'ing but other than that one Achilles Heel, it looks like this could be quite the beast.

    Operating under the assumption that I'll be able to stealth into any group and hit at least 4 mobs with Eclipse (which is perma in this build) and Sunless Mire, I'll be fighting at +80% RES to S,L,F,C,E,N and 67% Res to T,P to go along with a constant 78% Damage Buff.

    Please take a peak at this (very expensive, but affordable) build and tell me if I'm crazy to be excited to hit 50 with this guy.

    If anyone has a suggested build, or can modify the build I posted above I would love them long time!

    Thanks for the thoughts.

    My thinking with not capping out S/L was that Between my heal, Creepers holding Aggro, Seeds of Confusion, and if all went wrong Spore Burst, that I wouldn't really be in much danger. Especially in a basic Farm format.

    My Arch/MM blaster certainly benefited from having capped S/L, but he performed fine before I bought my last to sets of Kinetic Combat and he didn't have nearly the tools for survival that are at the disposal of a Plant/Kin.

    Is the Extra S/L really that important?
  4. Black_Aftermath
    Working on bring a Plant/Kin/Stone up to 50 and plan to use him with my friends Fire/Kin for farms. Curious if I could get some build advice. Also, what can expect from Creepers when farming? Are they a significant source of damage? The build I have put together has Perma-Creepers so I'm hoping they will help me roll pretty well.

    Any chance I'll be able to move through groups as quickly as my friends Fire/Kin/Stone?

    Thanks!

  5. Black_Aftermath
    Awesome. Thanks for the help. I really like how the build is looking.

    Only thing I'm still kind of torn on is Hasten vs. RotP.

    RotP really fits the them of my Character and unless not having Hasten is going to really hurt the build, I think I'm leaning towards RotP.

    What does not having Hasten hurt the most? AV battles?
  6. Black_Aftermath
    I was torn between RotP and Hasten, but ultimately went with RotP for thematic reasons. I'm not against reconsidering, but will I really need that much +recharge? Healing Flames is already down to a 15s time. Is hasten valuable mostly for the AV's?

    Ring of Fire is slotted that way to nab the 3.13% defense to melee. I honestly don't know how the numbers work well enough to be able to tell you if that is significant and if it won't hurt to lose that defense, there are definately other options. Off the top of my head I would probably:

    2 Slot Hasten for Recharge
    2 Slot Boxing with Pounding Slugfest for +8% Regeneration
    4 Slot Char for the +7.5% Recharge and +2% Recovery

    *Just feels like I'm giving up more defense than I care to but like I said, I'm no expert. Here is the build with the above changes:

    Made a minor change to the build. Changed the Numinas: Heal/Recharge in the 3rd slot of health and added the Regenerative Tissue: +Regeneration.

    This was just an oversight on my part when making the initial build.

    Anything else I'm missing? Suggestions?
  8. Black_Aftermath
    I've been kicking around an end-game for my Scrapper who is quickly approaching lvl 50. I figured I'd set out some criteria for what I was looking for and come up with:

    Priority:
    - Add some Melee and S/L Defense
    - Add HP and Regeneration
    - Add Recovery
    - Add Recharge
    - Add Damage

    I already have a farmer, so I'm not over concerned about using this toon to farm, but I'm very comfortable with Fire Ball, FSC and Blazing Aura for some occasional farms.

    Mostly, this is going to be my main All-Around character Blue-Side. I want to be able to farm a little bit, run Task Forces, and try my hand at Solo'ing some AV's.

    Anyway, I'm looking for a little critique since there are people on this forum a lot better at putting together builds than I am.

    Oh, and my budget is unlimited.

    Would be solo farming Warriors at lvl 50.

    My reasoning for putting Impeded Swiftness in Hot Feet is that (1) it adds 2.5% melee defense and (2) it would keep enemies close so that Burn can take it's effect.

    Wasn't concerned about packing damage into Hot Feet because I don't think that enemies will stay alive long enough for Hot Feet to do significant damage period.

    FSC - Fire Ball - Combustion - Burn - Rain of Fire.

    Clean up anything left standing with Blaze and Fire Blast.

    Thoughts?
  10. Black_Aftermath
    Looking at making a Fire/Fire/Flame Blaster and I have worked out a couple of builds. I'm open to making modifications to either build. The first contains Blazing Aura, which I feel might be unnecessary with all the other AoE's.

    The Second drops BA and adds more defense. I know I could do better on defense with Cold Mastery but the chunky ice shield doesn't fit my concept. So I'm trying to get a reasonable about of S/L Resistance with as much Melee defense (So many PBAoE's that I'll be in melee a lot) as possible. I also took the Rez because I suspect this method will result in a few deaths here and there.

    This toon will be used for farming.

    Thoughts?
  11. Black_Aftermath
    I have two builds that I will post below that are coming up with different recharge results for Energize.

    First, my SS/Elec manages to achieve Perma Energize:

    Second, my Dark/Elec build has even more Global Recharge set bonuses but my recharge for Energize is only 40s.

    So, what am I over-looking here?
  12. Black_Aftermath
    I'm not sure what is going on with my Mid's Builder, or perhaps there is just something I've overlooking, but I have a SS/Elec build that has Perma Energize, but when I convert over to Dark/Elec and try to get a build together for you I lose perma energize and can only get it to 40s recharge (10 second downtime).

    For whatever reason, on the Dark/Elec build Mid's is capping the Global Recharge at 82.5%. Anyway, here is the build that has a Global Recharge of 122.5% (by my Calculations not Mids" which easily gives you Pergam Energize and Soul Drain.

    LoL, care to elaborate a little bit more than a simple No?
  14. Black_Aftermath
    . . . when it comes to farms? The reason I ask it my brother, inspired by my tricked out Arch/MM that out-farms his Fire/Kin (granted not completely IO'd yet), he is thinking about rolling a AR/Fire blaster.

    Although we don't like rolling toons with the same power sets, he isn't opposed to to going Arch/Fire with AR can't replicate the dominance of Arch/Mental.

    Here is the build he is thinking about rolling:

    Aura Enhancements

    POST-ACTION

    So if the Aura's are in Gang War, the rest of my Thugs take advantage of the +Def and +Res even when Gang War isn't activated?

    favorite MM......

    POST-ACTION

    I'll play!

    Primary: Bots and Thugs equally.
    Secondary: Traps and Thermal respectively.
    Power: Traps (ALL OF THEM) and Forge respectively.
    Costume Piece: I'll say the default underwear since every one of my characters have them on under their outfits!

    SO's versus IO's?

    Fantastic information. Thanks a lot, you have all answered my question to the "T"!

    SO's versus IO's?

    POST-ACTION

    I have never really messed with IO's because I quite shortly after they were introduced and just recently returned.

    I'm lvl 33 and based on what the in-game data is telling me a lvl 35 SO does the same as a lvl 35 IO. So what is the benefit of crafting when I can just buy SO's? Is it later in the game where you see the difference?

    Thanks in advance!

    IMO, this build here takes the best of both of the last two builds posted and melds it into an unstoppable force.

    - First of all, Capped Defense to S/L (46.9%)
    - Nice Recharge bonus (95%) has RoA up every 17 Second when running Hasten.
    - Perma Sleep from Flash Freeze and Hibernate in place of Vengence.
    - World of Confusion 5-Slotted with Coercive Persuasion.
    - 17% Damage Bonus PLUS Aim and Concentration up every 30s.

    For your enjoyment:

    Ice/Cold IO Build

    POST-ACTION

    Honestly, I just suck at putting IO builds together and need some help. I typically run in a duo with an Elec/Elec Brute so I like to keep Ice Shield and Frostworks in my build.

    I focus towards the AoE attacks which is why I have Frost Breath but I'm not permanent attached to it if somebody has a better recommendation. Below is a rough template as to what I want in the build and if somebody could finish it off with IO's I would be eternally greatfull.

    Looking for Survivability, Recharge, Endurance, Damage (in that order).

    Thanks so much for the help!

    You are completely right, Mercs have no other problems!

    Seriously? You bring this two changes up? I, and many others, run through an entire list of huge flaws that have existed since MM's first showed up in CoX and you remind us of the stealth and brawl changes?

    Fantastic. Thank you so much.

    Obsession?

    POST-ACTION

    Just a guess, but with double xp it is the best time to get throuh slow early levels of the game. Of all the CoV AT's (less dominators which I have never cared to play past level 8), MasterMinds feel the slowest in the early going and near the most power post lvl 26/32. So perhaps the players you were with just wanted to grind towards MM domination?

    That's what I'm doing today. From lvl 24 to 32 on my thugs/thermal in about 4.5 hours playing almost entirely solo.
