Fiery-Enforcer

Elec/Kin?

I think the suppression is only if the power is used every 5 seconds or less in which FS is the perfect power to slot it in. On my high recharge SS/Fire the proc goes very often. With Hasten, the recharge of Foot Stomp is something like 5.7 seconds or so and becomes 4.5 seconds when the proc goes off. I've had the proc go off 3-4 times in a row for the full duration.

I'd also like to note that it's not hard to get perma-Dull Pain if you decide to go regen.

Like others said both are good and they do different things. Sonic/Sonic is able to put out a TON of -res, would certainly be good for tearing AV's apart.

There is some scatter with Spines, but the mobs usually die before they can get far enough away while farming. This is farming +2/x8 most of the time. It may become a problem when you step up the difficulty to +4s, but that's a non-issue while farming because it's not as efficient.

Although, I love your idea of adding taunt to damage auras. Don't see why people think it's a bad idea. What's so bad about keeping foes IN your damage aura?

It is possible to softcap S/L defense with the Fire epic, but you will most likely gimp your other powers in the process. As to how, just find IO sets that have defense bonuses, it's really that simple. Plot out your build in mids if you haven't already. If you really wanna softcap, I would just go Earth Mastery because it's much easier to do and you won't gimp yourself in the process.

It's pretty funny that she goes missing when this event is suppose to happen. But props to the rest of AOW for stepping up and trying to make this event go on.

My SS/Fire eats them alive.

Are you limited to just one of them? On my SS Brute I have the Force Feedback and Armageddon procs slotted in FS.

I agree and prefer to farm with a Scrapper to a Fire/Kin. But there is no way you're killing a whole +2/8 mob with SD + LR, unless you're not killing the bosses that is.

Also, don't forget. Jaegers explode when they die.

The FF+ rech proc won't go off everytime. It goes off frequently though, like every 2 or 3 times. This is from playing a SS/Fire Brute where Foot Stomp hits its target cap pretty much everytime. Granted, I've had the proc go off 3 or 4 times in a row, but that's usually not the case.

As for using Fireball, I think Silas is saying that it would probably better to use one nuke on a mob and finish them off with aditional AoE's such as fireball, then nuke the next mob and so on. Instead of using SD and LR on one mob.

Yea, I'm working on leveling a Mind/Earth. Should be pretty fun.

I agree, If I were to ever use an elec/shield for farming I would probably only use one nuke per mob. That way your damage spikes are more consistent rather than only using them every 30 seconds or so. It all comes down to playstyle and preference.

You forgot to add that free popcorn is given out!

Cool deal.

No, the reason I was saying that as a bad point is because SC and LR are both on a long recharge so you can't consistently use them where as you can TS and SB very often to wipe out mobs. While, you can SC + LR a mob to wipe them out, but then that leaves the next mob with not so stellar AoE, as to why I suggest picking up an epic AoE blast for some extra damage.

Just my personal preference, I'd rather have consistent AoE damage rather than burst AoE damage. As to why I prefer a SS/Fire or SS/Shield Brute to a Elec/Shield Brute villain side.

No, Doms do have the DPS, but it can take quite a while to take down certain AV's. Holding them doesn't change their regen, we're just holding them so they can't attack us back. Otherwise you're not going to survive against a lot of AV's without heavy inspiration use.

Spines/Fire is great and can dish out a lot of damage, so that's my choice from experience. If you think it's too squishy while farming, you're doing it wrong, seriously.

Electric/Shield is good too, but I think it relies on the 2 nukes to be effective. Although, electric has a bunch of extra AoE powers, overall IMO I think they're subpar because you can't leverage them effectively to hit a lot of enemies at once. Jacobs Ladder - not going to hit many foes with it. Thunderstike - again small PBAoE radius. Chain Induction is the only other attack you can fire away and not have to worry about it. So, my suggestion is if you decide to go Electric/Shield is to pickup Blaze Mastery if you can fit it into your build.

Oh Hai.

Unfortunately I have no reason to take advantage of this opportunity.

And Bronx, where the hell has Kadra been? Haven't seen her on in a long time, granted I haven't been on much myself.
