Without piss breaks!

If you're serious... try thinking before acting.
If you're joking... bad joke.

(Partial tangent from the initial problem, but this is equally important)
Unless the numbers seriously differ when including arcanatime, the few seconds in BU shouldn't matter unless I can get its recharge down to be up every 4th attack chain; otherwise, I'm always going to round it down to the 5th chain (because I'm not going to fire it in the middle of a chain).

If we could get it to 26 seconds (4 chains), which 3 slots would do, then that would bump the DPS for sure, and I'd be all for that. I think the 6ish seconds out of MoG would totally be worth that, if the math comes out right.

If we can work that into the rebuild, as well as fixing the endurance (with Tactics and CP), I think everything would be perfect and I can stop fighting with myself over this.

I actually have to run to the airport real quick, This is what I'm looking at now,
better?

God that was a long drive.
Stole a slot from IH to get CP to a 50%(ish) uptime. Stole a slot from MoG for BU to have 3.
BU is coming back in 26.1 seconds, and the attack chain runs at 26 seconds (four 6.5 second chains)
If that still works after arcanatime, then I think this build will do.
I could flop a def/end in maneuvers for a Kismet, just to top off the tohit, but that tags the endurance consumption a bit, too... so that's probably not a good idea.

I'm stuck.
I worked with Umbral forever ago on this build. The one he used was pre-BotZ fix, however, so I've tweaked it to maintain 20+ ranged and AoE defense.
I did actually respec into this build in game, but I find that its endurance sustainability is a little... unstable at times, due to the use of 3 procs. Sometimes I'll just run straight out of end and have to MoG out, only to have a third of my end restored seconds later. So I'm looking for a bit more recovery to smooth out the procs.

verily!

Update for that build above:
The numina and miracle procs in PP can actually be moved to FH. They can't be enhanced anymore so there's no reason to put them in PP, slotting them into FH will mean they will still affect you at all levels. Also, that means you get the numina regen set from the proc and the heal, so the heal/rech can be switched to a general heal IO, or moved to another power (BU for example)
Or, depending on the endurance loss, I'd consider switching that Perf End Mod in PP to a third slot in build up for 1 lvl 50 rech IO.

You're not doing anyone any favors by using that color scheme, either. Freakin impossible to read >.<

The shield is actually attached to the forearm, a little less than halfway up (towards the elbow), so the shield wouldn't actually be flailing around wildly when doing the twirly-wrist animations. It would only flop whenever the forearm did, if ever.

+1 vote for km/shield

~Upon further review:

Maybe alternate animations for /shield... some of those would totally hit him in the face, or come damn close to it.

Iggy/hackzorz

No contest.

if you're talking about 1:56, I highly doubt it.

I hate temp powers.
I'll consider joining, but will likely have to work instead.

couple new costume parts, for sure... I know I saw new blades and gloves specifically (hopefully katana gets some of that love for a change).

Other than that, I'm loving how the zone is looking. Really could use an overhaul back in the homeland.

Sham always finds the coolest things.
I love me some trig.

I like how there was no mentioning of the "fix" prior to the patch going through, but now that we've *******, it's taking forever to get the real fix to come down the pipe.

I've been in games before where the knife distance was increased, but that wasn't the range that you physically moved, just the "length of the blade". Never seen anything like that before. Teleporting all the way across Favela is a bit extreme.

god, sham, that's awful :/
what roll were you using?

I'm assuming it's because the DPA of elec fence is barely higher than shriek. So you want it to be used more often.
And luckily the recharges of all 3 powers are already quite low, so getting the necessary recharge to sustain that chain won't be difficult at all.

You also need to consider the problem that the towers reapply nonstacking buffs when active. They're not toggles that are instantly shut off when separated from him. They are power-granters. Caging/phasing a tower doesn't instantly turn the buff off, it will still run its duration, but won't be reapplied until the phase wears off.

Because of this, phasing LR himself might be a better idea in the long run, unless you figure out exactly when to cage the towers (just before they reapply) for maximum effectiveness.

That's completely my fault... I apparently responded before I thought this morning (afternoon, whenever I woke up). I worked 4-10 today. I don't know how I thought I could make it... I just didn't think.

I iz a stoopid dood

I definitely agree. I did it as well on my kat/regen before I used fighting. it doesn't seem to work too well without an IO set (end cost is too high, recharge is too long, accuracy is too low, etc), but honestly, adding another click to a regen set isn't that good of an idea :P
That's the general problem with presence anyway. The only people who really use it are MMs, and they just get provoke. Very few times have I actually seen anyone go all the way to invoke panic
