    Have any stalkers gone solo box hunting in Lambda? Has it worked out well? Has anyone seen if the boxes are equally resistant to all types of damage?

    I'll bet this farms faster then a SS/FA.

    So I'm tinkering around with my build for my Stone Melee/Will Power Brute, but am kind of being cautious about investing in him, cause he feels pretty squishy just frankenslotted. I went for 30% def to most things, relying on purple insps when things get tough, but I'm not sure if I wouldn't be better off soft caping to lethal/smash. I mostly looking to make a knock around generalist brute.

    Isn't there another popular game where you run around chopping lumber and digging up ores? That to me is the worst kind of grind.

    Looking for map.

    POST-ACTION

    I recently stumbled across a mish that uses a map where you start in Lord Recluses throne room, and can then progress into the regular Arachnos corridors. But I can't find the map, it seems like it might be located in a non-intuitive(to me) place. So I'm wondering if someone could help.

    The mish number tells me what mish is being used, but seeing as I run a ss/elec that isn't all that useful. What would be useful would be knowing what the map name is, or what map category it is found under.

    Tankers as babysitters are obsolete, that doesnt mean the archtype is obsolete, just a playstyle.

    The one area I do feel like they are a bit less useful is AV fights in the newer content (Apex, Tin Mage, ITF, Dr. Khan and Barracuda). I've run all of them with and without tanks and it doesn't seem much smoother with them. But in some of them that's a fairly small sample size.

    And if people dont want to reveal it, thats fine.

    I've just not had a lot of luck with the different maps that I've used so far, it seems like the crey-ish one and the warehouse both spawn the target group/object always in the same place.

Not factoring in a round of REALLY bad luck, on average, each click will net you more endurance with every 3-5 clicks completely filling up your blue bar.
    Dark regeneration with the proc, statistically if only used on 10 opponents, will recover you 23.6 end (if the proc uses 10% of the modified end) which will net you 6.17 end every 9 seconds. If you fire off DR 13.3 times in 120 seconds it will recover 82.2461 end. How is that refilling your end bar?

    That's only true is you assume more then eight targets every time you use it, which isn't very realistic.

    And will also lower your overall dps.

    And if you have to spend 5 seconds dispatching 3 lts, it will put you significantly behind on your endurance gain. In the downtime of hasten, you will be behind on your endurance gain.

Since Dark Armor requires endurance management, many players will initially gravitate towards the Cardiac Alpha slot (myself included.) That doesn't mean Dark Armor is required to utilize the Cardiac Alpha slot.
    Dark armor doesn't handle endurance as well as electric armor, endurance is required to attack, therefore the set with better endurance will have an advantage in damage.

    So you're unable to post a build that's better then that? From the way you've been talking, it should be easy.

    That has nothing to do with Dark Armor vs Electric Armor, your build gimps Spines.
    Could you please post a build for comparison?

    The build posted regains 34 end in 30 seconds, and in ideal conditions will profit 10 end from using dark regen twice in that 30 seconds. If in those 30 seconds you hit three groups with your 3 AOE's, you'll use 71end, minus the 44 end you are gaining in that time gives you 27(30 if you use build up once). If we throw in two lunge's to make the math easy, that's 34 end used in 30seconds, so attacking lightly, you can easily bottom out your end bar in a minute and a half. Now soul transfer recharges faster then that, so I guess you can use to to refill your end bar, but otherwise I'm not seeing the sustainability of dark.
