    Awesome, I was needing to know that. Thanks

    Assault will not add its damage to trip mine. Pseudopets inherit your buffs, but they also inherit the duration of those buffs. Assault is a short lived buff that refreshes constantly, and it is sure to wear off before the trip mine actually goes off. Something like this would need to be programmed in to mids on a case by case basis, so it's just not going to happen because of powers like lightning storm which will get a damage buff to some of its attacks and not others.

    This isn't the case. Damage buffs do not multiply a character's enhanced damage totals, it adds to them and combines into the total which multiplies base damage.

    Example: 100 damage power * (100% base + 95% damage enhancement + 120% damage buffing) = 315% of the power's base damage, which would be 315 damage. Without the damage buff it would have been 195 damage.

    The 400% damage cap that most archetypes have includes the bonus from damage enhancements and ALSO includes the base 100% that characters always have. That means if all of your powers are enhanced for 95% damage, then any damage buffing past 205% doesn't do anything for you.

    The end result is that buffing people up to their damage cap will only be doubling the damage of many characters, which is equivalent to 100% -res. The people with higher caps will have their damage increased by about 2.5x, which is equivalent to 150% -res.

    You're not. Spamming siphon power and fulcrum shift on an AV should be the first priority for a kineticist.

    Are you guys going to be just the two of you usually, or do you plan to be on large teams mostly? The power choices you made should work fine on a team of eight, but if you're duoing then you'll want telekinetic blast and will domination. Anyway, I just left your powers as they were for now.

    Buffs do not just mean defensive powers. Buff is just a term for anything that improves abilities or stats.

    Kinetics is the most offensively minded set available to defenders, but it's not completely without defense. It can stack more damage debuffs on an archvillain than any other set can.

    The Gaussian's proc is definitely better placed in a click power than in a toggle. If it's in a toggle then it's very likely to go off when you don't need it, whereas in aim or build up you can be pretty sure that when it goes off it'll be at a time when you want it.

    Also, the panacea +hp proc will cause green healing numbers to fly over your head randomly. If that sounds annoying or obnoxious to you, then you should replace it with something else.

    I pulled back the build's usage of defense debuffing. As long as tactics is running you'll have a 95% chance to hit +4 enemies, and defender tactics should be strong enough to get your teammates up to that same level of accuracy. I also switched invisibility with vengeance. You'll hit the stealth cap using stealth + the stealth proc, so the power won't be useful and vengeance can take the same slotting that invisibility had.

    10.9% defense to melee and ranged, 15.6% area, 1319 hit points (with accolades), 93.75%
    recharge bonus, capped final to-hit against +4 enemies.

    I checked the build out. All of the kinetic powers will be at the final to-hit cap against +4s. Most of the energy blasts are at 93% except for explosive blast which is at 87%. That's all without tactics; turning on tactics makes everything hit the 95% cap. You could actually drop the kinetic powers from two accuracy to just one and still be way over 95% against +4 enemies.

    Should probably drop aim though. It doesn't add anything, and energy torrent would be nice.

    Both trip mine and time bomb are basically toy powers. Trip mine is at least an effective toy though.

    I have no idea what you mean by "the mass one".

    As for speed boost and fulcrum shift, they're some of the most useful and powerful buffs in the game. The set isn't just about those two powers though. If you don't find them fun then the set isn't for you, but that has nothing to do with whether or not the set is lacking.

    There's no need to be hostile. And please don't advise people to skip their attacks. Kinetics might be the most active primary available to defenders, but there is no reason why someone playing it can't utilize both of their sets.

    What kind of price range are you going for? You have a couple pvp enhancements in this, but considering how much they cost I don't think you want them. I can throw a build at you once I have an idea of how much you want it to cost.

    ::raises this thread from the depths::

    I'm doing beta testing for mids stuff right now, and I stumbled across the fact that all stealth powers do not suppress equally. This is something that I've suspected for a long time based on my gameplay experience, but have never been able to look at closely. There are separate tags for damaging enemies, attacking enemies, and getting hit by enemies, and different stealths suppress under different circumstances. The only thing that universally suppresses all stealths (of the ones I've seen) are clicking a glowy. Most stealth powers that are not in a pool will ONLY suppress due to glowy clicking, and steamy mist is one of them.


    TLDR: Steamy mist does not suppress when you attack or are attacked.

    The +35 is the pve version.

    No, that chain is impossible to run gaplessly. On paper it'll still be superior though, even with the gap.

    If you have an apocalypse proc in shriek then your best chain will be shriek-scream back and forth. If not, then you want the standard shriek-scream-shriek-shout combo. Replace shout with electric fence if needed.

    I looked it up, and all of his attacks should have a debuff except for petrifying gaze. If it's not going off for you, then something's screwy.

    Are you getting him into melee range? Clouded senses will cause only his to-hit debuffs to proc, and his biggest one is the point blank area one he has on constantly.

    Definitely kinetics. They debuff enemy damage and buff ally damage with the same powers. Against a single AV, kinetics ends up being superior to a lot of sets both offensively and defensively.
  21. Garent
    The defender damage cap is 300%, and a little under 100 of that is supplied by damage enhancements, so you don't need to worry about the damage cap until you're in the neighborhood of 200% damage buffing. I'd say as long as you're able to reliably hit +4 enemies the musculature is probably your best bet.

    Objection!

    Each of voltaic sentinel's blasts are almost the same damage as charged bolts, and it attacks fifteen times over its lifetime. So without damage enhancements at level 50 it'll do 533.85 damage over its lifetime without damage enhancements. At a 3.3 second casting time, it has an unenhanced DPA of 161.77. It's always worth recasting, and if it wasn't limited to one at a time electric blast would be one of the best single target damage sets in the game.

    Short circuit is the largest culprit for why electric blast underperforms. If the power was improved, electric blast would immediately become an average set at the very least.

    Since you're already perma AM/hasten, I'd say go for the damage one. You shouldn't have much need for accuracy or endurance with your powerset combo.

    Absolutely positive. I've fought them as AVs both in beta and on live, and haven't seen a note about changing. I'll try to run the arc again with AVs on just to make sure I'm not hallucinating, and if I see them as AVs again I'll change paragonwiki.

    As for the debuff resistances on things below AV, it looks like I'll need to fire up my surveillance and look around since this is stuff I never knew about.

    I don't think alpha slots will do much for the character right now. It'll be better once the upper level ED piercing ones come out, at which point the musculature boasts a 30% damage boost to everything, while the nerve will give a 13% defense buff boost, which results in a total boost of like 3.5% defense for your whole team.

    Uhm, yeah. When I run the numbers like that, I think a 30% damage buff to all of your attacks is better than a 3.5% defense buff for your whole team. Definitely go musculature.
