Finally, I've found the earth set a very good one for procs, I have quite a few in my build.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true ..my controller build has 15 procs.
My Dom has alot less.

Intresting tip for you but if you put the Sovereign Right resist bonus IO and the Expedient Reinforement resist bonus IO in to Animated Stone old stoneys resist are all in the 90% range.

If you don't want a team don't sit in the 'looking for team' section. It's pretty simple. You also get the option to refuse when an invite is sent. Why do you want to waste my time and spoil my fun, making me stop playing and spend all my time sending stupid messages?


[/ QUOTE ]

That works both ways.
Why should i stop having fun and enjoy myself to stop and reject a blind invite.
A good example is yesterday when i got 5 blind invites off the same guy in the space of 15 mins.
It got so annoying i put that person on ignore and i wasn't even flagged as LFT.

Thank you kindly all

Grats to chisel,Cap and didn't you get a 50 to cyn ?

I'm making a female toon and the only options i get on a Brute are Cavalier or Knight.

Edit:
Nm its me being blonde .. found it.

I really want to make a new toon with the manhole cover as a shield but its not in the costume creation at new toon creation so i'm assuming it's an unlockable.
Can anyone confirm it is or if its even in yet ?

I love playing stalkers and have soloed a claws/SR (soft capped) to 50 and a em/regen with no problems.
I find it very tactical and not so much AS and run away, i stay and fight which you can very easily do with a good build.
Stalkers can hit 1500 hp easy and can have good defense if you work at it like with SR that can hit the soft cap easier than a scrapper can.
Sure they are hard the first 20 levels or so but it gets alot easier after that.
Don't forget Demonic Aura to, with you lvl 38 power it makes EB's a doddle.
I always pick it up at lvl 25, its a life saver.

Put me down for this to please
I'll have to see what toon needs it but i think chances are its either my claws/SR stalker or my NW

I'd say Blinding powder just for the ranged set bonus as the thing hardly ever confuses and the sleep is only a mag 2.

I want a Pony !

Personally i like to maximize defense to improve stalker survivability so i would be thinking in those area's altho stealth and Invis do offer extra Def i don't think the end drain is worth it in PVE altho some might get some usage from phase shift but i find it situational preferring to pick something from my primary or secondary that i would use more often.
I stick to Combat jumping/Super jump for my melee toons basically because it offers the best combat mobility with extra def from CJ.
Hasten from the speed power pool is always a good choice i feel aswell as fitness for the all important stamina.
IO's altho optional do offer the best way to improve a charactor especially the defense.

My basic train of thought is to improve defense without impacting my scrapability or end usage and sticking to powers i would use often.

My only disappointment is that female Wolf Spiders don't get the boots that are drawn in the CoV collectors Edition Art book (page 17 for those who have it).

Female Wolfspider Art, page 17

For those who are curious enough to click it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the one !
Thanks for posting that.
I so want those boots

[ QUOTE ]

Should I slot Freezing Rain for damage?

[/ QUOTE ]

No as the dmg is so low on it that any enhancers added will not increase the dmg percentage by very much at all.

[ QUOTE ]

Im not a farmer (actually, very militantly antifarming) so i cant comment there, and will never attempt to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh i'm with you 100% there but when you really want something having a toon that can do it really helps and an hour every so often doesn't cut into your game time.

I'd agree Grav is ahead on ST damage but thats not really what we're talking about is it.
I think you must be doing something wrong with Earth as my earthquake/VG are both up every mob and Quicksand recharges fast enough so it can be layered so its not just 1 proc firing.
So for example EQ,VG,2 quicksands, stone cages is what 9 procs firing plus you have VG's inherent damage.
EQ and VG actualy recharges faster on Doms to !

So lets do alil math here.
Mids says each proc is 71.8% dmg at lvl 50.
Not counting stone cages and just going with the AoE's
6 procs X 71.8 = 430 possible every 10 seconds

Then theres stone cages i can cast every 3 seconds for 143% dmg.
Fossilize at 2 seconds for another 143.6% dmg

And i've not touched the secondary yet

Believe me i farm with this many procs and can clear the CoT behemoth map in alittle under 15 mins mostly with QS,VG,EQ,stalagmites,stone cages and lighting storm and fissure from the epics.
Hurricane to herd and i never use stoney.

Ah,I presume then that Mid's is in error and the immobs / holds etc can be slotted with -def debuff Ios

[/ QUOTE ]

My mids allows it ..always has.
Think you need to update it.

[ QUOTE ]

Pretty close thing IMO. Especially if you discount the AoE hold power (hardly spammable).

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the problem with Grav the immobs and the single target hold are the only things spammable where as Earth its all 1 shot AoE's that will tick the dmg over time but if you can lay afew of those AoE's down it soon mounts up then you have your spammable powers for extra dmg.
If you herd and use those AoE's things die very quickly.
Its a balance between crowd control,safety and dmg everything which Grav lacks.

No scanner i'm afraid .. sure i've seen a pic of it someplace tho.

Personaly i love my NW and IF/WHEN they finish the butt capes and NW cossie i'll be in hogs heaven.
My only disappointment is that female Wolf Spiders don't get the boots that are drawn in the CoV collectors Edition Art book (page 17 for those who have it).

Procs
Fossilize = 2 (3 with purple)
Stone Cages = 2
Quicksand = 1
Stalagmites = 1
Earthquake = 3
Volcanic Gasses = 2 (3 with purple)
Animated Stone = 1 (not counting Res bonus or Chance for BU procs)
So theres a chance for a possbile 14

Well i haven't used any purples.

Just to add.
Grav 'could' have alot of procs added but its got nowhere near the amount of AoE's that earth has.
I'm talking AoE destruction here which Earth has in spades.
As for spammable powers in Earth theres 4 possibly 5 i can think of and if you take Earth epic theres fissure to and thats before i even start on the secondary.

[ QUOTE ]

PS how many Procs do you count in earth?

[/ QUOTE ]

12, 13 if you count the one in stoney.
Theres only 3 in storm in my build and 2 in the epics.

Servers back up .. nothing more to see here .. move along.
