Fixed that for ya Nightmarer

Just wanted to ask a thing about the Khelds... Why is it that I see so many Khelds (especially PBs) with invis? Is there a reason to pick invis as a Kheld?

Just asking because I cant see any reason for it after playing my PB to 50

Hehe, the -4% for Melee, Ranged and AoE doesnt matter at all really if the typed defences are over that. Remember, the def is always calculated for the highest defence factor. Say, if someone attacks you with impale and your defence stats are:
10% for Lethal
0% for Toxic
-4% for Ranged
You will have 10% defence against impale because it's a lethal/toxic ranged attack and your highest defence factor against it is the 10% against lethal.

And for the presence pool.. That's just my personal opinion. Didnt like it much for pve because some powers are much better and more needed

True, the high smash/lethal resistance really helps pre-20 where most of the damage is S/L.
The DEF part there is just awesome for powers like aid self, I think.
And when I just think of the pre-I9 SR defence levels combined with invuln resistances it just gets me drooling to find those 10 enemies

What he said

On my invuln scrapper I've had the power from lvl 28. Started in I3 and I'm lvl 50 now.. Never regretted taking the power. The taunt isnt as bad as people think, invincibility is one of the best powers of the set and should be taken as soon as possible.

Hello,

I've been playing an /Invulnerability Scrapper and, well, he's very good at wading in. He's Claws/Invulnerability so he may not be the biggest damage dealer but he can survive a good while (including solo) and has a few ranged attacks which I've found mighty useful in teams.

However, will I need the 'extra' powers (Resist Energies and Resist Elements) as I heard someplace that Invulnerability really shines in the defence department.

If the answer is yes then is it worth three-slotting those powers?

Also, whilst you're there (by you I mean anyone who can be bothered to reply), are there any snippets of advice on slotting and using the Inventions system to increase survivability?

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all, /invuln scrappers ftw! I've been playing mine since I3 and it's coming even better as the issues come.

I only currently have the resist energies passive slotted with the Steadfast Protection: +3% Defence unique IO. Mostly got it for the +3% psi def though. If you have the space in your build to get both those passives (before anything else more important like travel, stamina etc) and slots to put in them I think it's worth to slot them with 3 impervium armors in each (+3% psi res, res and a res/rechg) to get 6% psi res and 4.5% psi def total.

Neither of those two is needed though. I picked resist elements at lvl 49 in my build.

For IOs that increase survivability I'd say your best bet is +rechg (to get dull pain up more often and eventually get it perma), +psi res/def (to fill in the hole of invuln) and after that +regen and +recov (to keep toggles running and HP regenning).

[ QUOTE ]
I'd definitely get Tough and before I9 I'd skip the two passives, but now I'd definitely take them and slot it with uniques, such as Karma +3% defense or Impervium Armour and/or Impervious skin mez resistances and psionic dmg resistance, but IMO, Tough is a must for Inv scrappers.
Personally I never been fond of Aid self unless you want to PvP.
Invulnerability doesn't shine on defence, it shines on lethal/smashing dmg resistance, but it lacks on other types of dmg, specially psionic so careful with the clockwork king

[/ QUOTE ]

The defence of invuln is actually great. With my build I'm getting 30% def versus all but psi (against which I have 20% def at all times) when there's 10 or more enemies around me. That's quite a lot I'd say.
Tough isnt something I'd consider a must for an invuln scrapper. I dont have it and I prefer aid self anyway (and that's what I have atm).

[ QUOTE ]

Looks fine to me, although Integration doesn't really need 1 EndRdx let alone 2 - I'd probably take that second EndRdx out of Integration and slot another Fly Speed in Fly

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, those 2 slots are there so I can get a doctored wounds set there for the 5% rechg bonus. This is just the build with SOs because I cant afford the IO'd one yet. In fly I will put 2x flyspeed IO

[ QUOTE ]
take the 2 ends in intergration put two heals in instant heal, take out all the accuracy in attacks and put an extra recharge. FA is enough accuracy

[/ QUOTE ]
I dont think the heals in instant heal do much a difference really.. And the slots are in integration for the set anyway. I'm also going to put some sets in the attacks to get better percentages.

Yay I hoped you'd have a look at it because you are more experienced with regen

So I'm planning to respec my MA/regen (once again :/) and this is the build I'm planning to respec into... Fly is there just because I like it and dont think I'll be changing it into anything else..

Comments please!

Aha so webnade isnt needed then...

You seem to know this stuff better than I do so IOed build too please!

I've been thinking of rolling an ice/kin corr now that I have a second account... I thought this build would be something a bit PvPy but I havent PvPed much so I'm not 100% sure of which powers are essential for a PvPer and so I havent gone to enhancing the powers yet. Here's the build I've planned:

Ill stir up the hornet nest here and go against the other posters regarding taunt. The EN/EN are more towards the edge of stalkers/scrappers than tank-brutes. A defining power is the Energy cloak power you receive at level 20, its an invisibility power that lets you attack enemies one at a time without getting to much attention/aggro. You are the opposite of a invincibility brute, you dont WANT to be surrounded by enemies. Until you get overload, you dont have the ability to survive the combined attention of larger mobs.

Youre NOT a tank, and anyone who kicks you from the team because youre not "tanking" is just as bad as anyone who kicks a defender for not "healing".

[/ QUOTE ]

What Cuff said.
No one should be expected to do something based on their AT, expect them to do something based on their sets.

As I said, it's a PvE/PvP mix, tactics + FA is useful against stalkers and conserve is there if you come across end draining foes like /kin corrs.

[ QUOTE ]
Do you mean 'load' as in 'build'?

[/ QUOTE ]
I think so..


About the build then.. This is what I'd use for a PvP/PvE mix:

Base HP, all HP buffs are calculated from base HP.

Yeah I thought the miracles might cost a bit but then, I do have over that 10mil to spend on this

And besides, I dont have to add all the miracle sets just yet.

Ok so I've had a look at your advice and shuffled around a few slots and put some sets in and so here is what I've come up with.

One word: Wow!

Looks quite similar as to what I planned for my SS/elec (which I ended up deleting though) so I'd say it looks good. Also, if you're teaming with a /thermal you might consider dropping the RES IOs from overcharge (or whatever the tier 9 from elec is :P) and grounded and put them into something more useful

Aha, good hint there with BFR, wouldnt have thought that myself tbh..

With the recharge to IB and BIB, should I remove the dam/end of thunderstrike set from them and replace that with the rechg IO? I thought this would be best percentagewise but then might leave me with too few endurance reduction in my attacks. Would dam/rech be a better choice?

I dont think I'm going to slot aid self with sets. At least yet...

Aid other vs Stimulant; I might chuck in a heal IO in aid other (that's what I have on my main) to reduce downtimes and heal people using awakens etc.

Is 2x rechg IO good enough in hibernate? I've never had the power so cant really comment on that.. Also, if I'm freeing the 2x rechg from BFR (or 1 if I put in 3 hold IOs) I could put that in shiver instead of removing a rechg from hibernate.


Thanks for comments

So this is the build I'm planning to respec my ice/ice blaster into. Notice that I only have a few sets that arent expensive, planning to put maybe 10mil inf on doing this build just to improve my ice/ice blaster a bit.

Might give it a try on my katana/invuln..

Yeah it goes down as normally. It's a question about the percentage, not the enhancements. ED hits in (for DEF/RES) at around 50%, so 2x IO + 1 SO will easily get you to maximum, 2 IOs is nearly there. 3 IOs + 2 SOs is only a few percent better than 3 IOs.
