If you don't use Elec Fences, you're better off going Pyre Mastery for more damage.
Take the Armageddon proc out of Burn and replace the dmg Armageddon from Footstomp with it. Bigger target cap and radius means you'll get more use out of it. If you're willing to get it, put the -res proc in Burn.
You really don't need to build for defense when you're resist capped, level shifted and when inspirations drop like crazy.
I'd still take a travel power, can always get one instead of RotP, you shouldn't be dying at all.
Like others said, you want recharge, recharge, and more recharge if this is just for ambush farming. Cardiac is good to keep you going non-stop.
As far as Rage goes, I don't use it most of the time in ambush farms. What do you do after each run, or rather what should you be doing? Fill up a tray full of reds. And since I'm already there, I spend an extra couple of seconds to damage cap myself before I go back in for another run. By doing this, you should be able to keep yourself damage capped or close to it without having to deal with the Rage crash slowing you down. -
Quote:This.Melee works if they can mobile and not be locked in the stand in one place and press 1-2-3-4 mindset
I don't know about everyone else, but my melee characters also have at least one ranged attack. Along with those ranged attacks I can still use my melee attacks even if the blue patch is around BM.
It's simple, just kite in and out of melee range so you're only there for a second to get your attack off. Sure, you'll take a little bit of damage from the patch, but not nearly enough to kill you unless you're bad.
Of course ranged AT's will have the advantage in this particular scenario since they can put out more consistent DPS. Just like ST builds will have the advantage over AoE builds. -
Quote:No, it's just like regular IO drops and the chance gets divided. First there's a roll to see if there is a drop, then if you're on a team there's another roll to see who actually gets it.another way to rephrase question:
8 man team kills one player in WB. Does each person on team have same chance for IO as if he defeated somebody solo 1 vs 1? Or does chance for io get divided by 1/8?
One of the reasons arena PvP is terrible for getting drops. -
Quote:As much as I love all Corr teams and the likes, there also comes a point where you don't really need anymore debuffs and adding a dedicated damage dealer will make things go even faster.As has been mentioned numerously, the Interface debuffs have a hard cap, and it's pretty low. If you really think 6 defenders/controllers + 2 blasters are better steamrollers than 8 defenders/controllers, you haven't been on too many super teams. And that's before Judgement kicks in. Yes, you can find configurations where the blasters will be a better fit--you don't need more than 2 Kin on a team, for example, but you wouldn't replace them w/blasters, you'd just add more Rad/Cold/Son/Dark/etc.
I'm not sure what everyone's worried about, I don't invite Blasters to a team for there nukes, just damage in general. Yeah, debuffers may actually be able to get more out of Judgement, but you're talking about Blasters on teams where they'll take advantage of the debuffs too. -
Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure it still displays the old information which can cause confusion. I haven't tried my Brute in PvP since it got changed, so I'm not sure about that.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by Fiery Embrace being broken.
And I'm sure lowering the level will help you get to the ticket cap faster, but what's your inf gain? I can cap tickets at +4 in 1:30, maybe even faster, although it takes a little longer to clear the entire map. -

I wouldn't bother with Provoke, its target cap is 5.
Some good Blaster builds would be Fire/Fire, Fire/MM and Rad/Fire. Arch/MM wouldn't be as good for ambush farming. Instead of fighting against fire enemies, you could find or create a farm where they deal S/L damage. Then you can softcap S/L defense. -
Horus. I think someone bribed him with a pony or something.
-
Quote:I was more referring to builds in general, regardless of the epic power pool. I'd build a Mu Mastery build differently than some of the builds I've seen in this thread to make it more fit for regular content while being just as good at farming. I see some people with some wacky slotting just to chase after certain set bonuses.I went Soul a few days ago as I'm running more and more normal content with that brute and was disastified with the lack of ST damage. I can certainly tell the difference for me, about 10-15% slower in a fire ambush ; that said, at those speeds it's not like it's a big deal.
Not saying you're wrong in saying you can do as fast mind you, I suspect you're a better player than I am. Just wanted to give my own take on the same thing.
Of course the equivalent Mu Mastery build will be faster than Soul Mastery for farming. I actually haven't ran Mu Mastery in a while (I don't like elec fences), I'm curious about the numbers I can get with it considering what I can get with Soul. Having a level shift is what made me go back to Soul, like you know, it's better for other stuff than just farming because Gloom is the best attack in the world. -
Mine is a SS/Fire/Soul and isn't just a farming build. Personally, I wouldn't make a build just for farming when you can make an all around build that is just as good at it.

Quote:Why hasn't this ever been a problem before with epic powersets? Before GR, villains were bound by the different patron power pools and heroes by the different elemental pools. Even to this day, what epic power pool goes thematically with an Invuln/SS Tank?That is the problem. The Origin of Power and Dr. Brainstorm stuff could be dismissed out of hand as self-serving propaganda from unreliable narrators. You didn't have to do the arc anyway, if you didn't want to. If you want to progress in the Incarnate storyline though, you must do Ramiel's arc, which ties you to the Well. If you want more powers, you must take them from the Well. Why can't my Judgement slot look like a Footstomp? Because the Well says so. Why can't I have a pet that isn't Praetorian? Because the Well won't give me one.
It has been known for a while that incarnates get their power from the Well and now that you're becoming an incarnate, you're complaining that you're getting your powers from the Well. It doesn't make much sense to me. The only point I can agree with is about the Lore slot, but even then you're not going to make everyone happy unless they're fully customizable. -
Since the latest patch I've been experiencing some weird stuff. Characters running in place while they're standing still, others using the whirlwind animation while attacking and I for one have been pulling out a police shield and bat every time I summon an ouro portal.
Also, look. Romulus is reading a book.
-
The NDA is no different than any other closed beta NDA besides from what we heard that it had to be signed. Like always, they don't want information released too early because things change, but now that we're getting closer to a release, more information, if not most is being shared.
The EU sneak peak revealed that not everything was put into the issue announcement, like 4 new incarnate slots. Although, about stuff still being under NDA, I was more referring to about future content for later issues. -
DR doesn't affect HP, so generally you want to get as much as possible and hit the cap if you can. I don't know the exact numbers, but I think recharge starts to get hit hard by DR after around 60%. I'd still slot for as much recharge as possible without gimping other bonuses like HP, kb protection etc. As far as defense goes, only slot for it if you're defense based like SR or Ninjitsu.
-
So, what was the point of this thread?
-
Quote:What exactly were you expecting? The only stuff I've really seen getting hyped up by Posi was the incarnate trials, and surprise! We're getting incarnate trials.This... THIS... was why there had to be signed NDAs? This is the amazing new content that needed such hush, hush...
Some people were saying that this issue seems content light, when compared to most other issues, this isn't true. Now, if you don't like the new content that's something entirely else. And as far as the NDA goes, how do you know there's still not stuff that's under it? -
-
-
And for those who don't, it's not like the very rare boosts are even worth the effort. I don't have the very rare boost on any character and I don't plan on 'grinding' for them, I'll get them when I get them.

Quote:No problem, that was just me being tired. Anyways, I'll try it again with bosses on. I've tried recording before with fraps, but it completely kills my framerate.Sorry, did not mean to imply that I did not believe your time.
Edit: Just ran it with bosses on in 3:05 for around 2.8 mil inf/minute. I didn't check the before and after inf numbers, just used herostats and since it's in such a short time frame the number fluctuates a lot. This was with being at the damage cap for most of it.
