    I love my EM/DA for PvP, although my Spines/Regen does better ...

    Spine/regen stalker or scrapper?
    Anyway i think in pvp EA is far better than SS due to his spli dmg, 2 extreme damage attacks and loads of toggle dropper.
    DA has no weakness? It drains your blue bar as nothing else and you have to slot at least 2 end reducer in each toggle to have some decent results and you have no KB protection, but overall is really good!

    Since Rocky quit I think we could try and hit 20(if not 22)for Sys Psyche the next week, but we should try and have no one exemped because it will set the TF to the highest lvl, if we'll have only ppl at 20-22 and the leader is set to heroic the TF should be with 22s..

    Waiting for your opinions.

    it means i can fight 33% longer than anyone without the endurance slot.

    I think that if you hit something with 2 KO Blow and kill him you'll save far more endurance than makin 3 and missing one of them..

    The blue bar is indeed the one that may give you more problems, but I had little worries with end with my Inv/SS with the 2acc/3dmg/1rec red slotting both while soloing(less toggles needed due to less foes to face)and teaming(SB, AB, RA, AM and Transference and you'll have no worries about end)so I think that he'll have far less problems due to having Consume in his Primary
  5. Remember that anything typed in here is just In My Humble Opinion.

    I would take Boxing instead of Kick because of its shorter animation lower end cos and seein both are useless.

    I would leave both Jab and Boxing unslotted, waste of slots and would rather add those 2 slots to Hasten.

    KO Blow is a great attack, his Hold duration is not worth enhancing but it's worth having that attack up faster, so I would go with 1 acc, 3 dmg, 1 end red, 1 rec red.

    With Consume without Acc enhance you'll hardly hit anything, so my suggestion would be to put 2 acc, 1 end mod 3 rec red in it.

    I would put a Jump in SJ since it costs little end already and it's not sposed to be running while fighting so little end worries from it.

    RotP should be just a situational power to save you an awaken or for messy situation where you plant and come back asap to save the team, so the basic slot is more than enough.

    For the rest of the slots I agree with Shannon's suggestions.

    I'll keep Weave due to the lack of protection from Immobilization in the Fire primary, wich is provided by both Combat Jumping and Weave, granting you a good protection.

    I slotted my Footstomp(wich is one of the must-have of SS, along with KO Blow)with 1 acc, 3 dmg, 1 end red, 1 recharge.

    For the rest of the slots I agree with Shannon's suggestions.

    I think that with Consume you could slot your attacks with 2 acc, 3 dmg 1 rec red to maximize your damage output since you should have little endurance worries and you will perform better with that slots, but if you'll have any go back with 1 acc, 3 dmg, 1 end red, 1 rec red.

    If you think that the best I'll ever have from that Armor is 26% with 3 SOs, so as it is it's almost the max =\
  7. I'll need to play like 32 hours tomorrow to make those 15 bars i need to lvl 40, but if I can make it in time I'll come along to show you some WS GODness

    hehe 1% res ftw

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Def, pls!
    So it's actually 1% chance of them missing me, but I take the full damage when (and IF I might add °_°) they hit me...
    Now I'm around 20% Def, so it's a bit better...

    I logged Artist to make the last bar needed to hit 18 and pick my Glacial Armor so hopefully I'll be able to tank those pesky clockworks with a bit more than 1% def to nrg/negative

    Ok, Agent M soloed the TF from where we left it till the last mish with the AV, then quit because she wanted to do Moonfire...
    I think we could either restart it(will be much faster due to everyone being lvl 18+)or clean it then make some mishes to have everyone hit 20 for Sys Psyche.....

  17. Doesn't invisibility untoggles automatically if you try to interact with something else?
  18. Yup, think that with Ice Patch you can make that without a controller and you'll still have a good damage output and more survivability!
    Plus with the next change to buffs Burn will be buffable by both Fiery Embrace and Build Up! O_O
  19. Fire/Fire is indeed more damaging(Fiery Embrace+BU+Fire Sword Circle+Combustion are a lot of damage)but Fire/Ice is a better tanker, due to the defensive nature of Ice Melee.

    You can stand far more aggro with a fire/ice due to the Ice Patch that will stop any foe that tries to melee you, leaving you free to taunt those outside the patch and the taunt aura and lay down a burn patch to clear those in melee range, plus with Freezing Touch you'll help holding the pesky boss and locking down dangerous foes.

    It's a matter of taste and play stile, fire/fire is the most damaging tanker around, fire/ice is the most resilient fire tanker build around.

    2 Questions :)

    Anyone have any idea how the presence pool taunts compare to normal tanker taunts? i like the idea of the mass fear that comes at the end of the pool which could be quite helpful.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I heard rumours that Provoke can affect more people than Taunt. Someone in the know should confirm..



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Provoke used to effect more enemies than Taunt and under some circumstances still can - it has a larger AoE around the original target. They're both capped at 5, though, so unless the enemies are quite spread out there's unlikely to be a difference.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Yup, both Taunt and Provoke are capped at 5 targets, but the AoE of Provoke is a bit wider.
    I wudn't take provoke over taunt for any reason, only the to-hit check makes it far too worse than the tankers' Taunt: it needs heavy slotting to be effective(at least 2 acc, 1 taunt and 2 rec red) if you're fighting CoT it's likely that you'll have some kind of -acc from Death Mages or Nerva Demons making more likely that you miss, if you fight Creys any MoG'd PP will ravage across the room because you'll keep missing him(tried this with my WS, 2 acc in my taunt, a Dwarf Mire goin, Fortitude and i was still missing the Antagonize), all kind of foes with high defense(rikti drones on top of em)will be harder to taunt.

    However if you want both or want the powers from the Presence pool Provoke can be handy, far less efficent, it unlocks the fears but can0t match Taunt.

    Plus if you're stone you'll need to slot Taunt with 3 rec red and 3 taunts(because Granite Armor slows you a lot hence the need of more recharge and more taunt duration)leaving no spare slots to put accuracy in if you pick Provoke.
