Quote:That depends upon what you're fighting. If you want to fight 54s in the new TFs then that 17% is instantly cut to 11% by the +3 level difference. But a level 54 AV will resist 87% of that, leaving you with just 1.44% of debuff. So, call it 1-17% provisional Def, depending on the circumstances.Originally Posted by random_person
hi all, i have a ss/sd brute with positional defenses soft capped (49%)with energy mastery (physical perfection and superior conditioning).
i made this same build except with soul mastery. concept wise, i like it but endur draining wise its lacking even with my 3rd tier incarnate slot. i got soul tentacles and the -to hit toggle. i hardly get hit now at all and when i do, it hurts alot less. when i start running low on endur, i detoggle weave. when i drop weave, im down to about 40% defense. what i was going to ask is this: how much defense could i afford to lose and expect my debuff toggle to make up for it? i have the -to hitt at about 17%.
what i was thinking was, going with range defense soft capped even with weave on. since only people in melee range are the ones affected by this debuff toggle, i would need more defense for people at range.
on my energy mastery build, i have no endur problems but tend to get hit alot still and when i do man it hurts. -
Spirits of Sorrow, Avalanche Shamen and one of the two types Dessicated Husks have -Def attacks. I don't think anything should be taking 15% a shot off a toon with 70% DDR though. Unless they were +3s or something.

I dug through the threads, but it's late and I couldn't find an answer to this question (I probably just scanned right by it):
Are hotkeys in menus restricted to the first 9 lines in the menu?
I have 14 lines, including 2 titles and a divider, in a menu and with that the last 4 lines' hotkeys don't function. The commands work if I select them with a mouse, so that isn't it. And if I comment out the divider and a title one more starts working. If I comment out the other title yet another starts working.
Here's the code, just in case I'm missing something. I'm trying to add use commands to an old inspiration combination popmenu without resorting to a second tier of submenus and another keystroke. The last six lines in each submenu are the new ones (NOTE: The copy-and-paste messed with some tabs, but it looks to have come across fine otherwise.)

Quote:I think shift and perhaps ctrl are supposed to modify the drag-and-drop behavior. The configuration lists three types of drag-and-drop behaviors for slots but the only one that seems to work is "swap".Originally Posted by Exxar
The dragging and dropping actually works without holding shift.
-
It sounds like you're trying to drag-and-drop, which swaps powers. To move a slot you shift-click and release to remove the slot, then click to put it somewhere else. If you shift-click-and-hold it will grab the power and try to move it.

Sonic/MM will have much better survivability on higher difficulty settings due to Siren's Song and Drain Psyche (especially if you turn Bosses off). Single target DPS will go to the En/En by a pretty substantial margin in melee, while AoE DPS will favor Sonic/MM.

Quote:Enhancement scales down when exemplar'ed in a rather non-intuitive manner.Originally Posted by OutaControl
I've been working on getting one or two purple IO sets on my characters but
I've seen references to IO sets not working if I'm doing a lower level TF and I'm exemplar-ed down to level 30.
I would have thought it would just scale down.
Is it just the set bonus that is lost or do we loose everything when using a purple set that you can only slot at 50 ?
Set Bonuses from non-Purples work at 3 levels below the level of the IOs needed for them. Purple Set Bonuses always work. -

The Strike Pack is just a poorly chosen name for the second half of Issue 19.
The only part of I19 that requires a specific version of the game is the Incarnate stuff. You need Going Rogue for that. -
There's a check box for Safe Mode in the bottom right of the license agreement screen just to the left of the "I Agree" button. And yes, it keeps the settings.

Somewhere there is a quote along the lines of "You will never go broke by underestimating the stupidity of others." I think it is a Barnum or Mencken attribution.
If not then you heard it here first! You will never go broke by underestimating the stupidity of others. -
You can drop the Honoree/Holtz mission (though you have to run back to Ramiel to do it). So I don't feel there's a need for a guide on that. I only did the Trapdoor guide because (1) you can't avoid him and (2) I'd PMed/e-mailed the rough version to five different people and one had requested that I resend it, leading me to choose to put it somewhere accessible.

My Earth/Elect/Mu Dom was so close to perma that I wanted to know the minimum I needed to add to get her there rather than waiting to collect the 2 Purple Sets I've been planning to respec in to Cages and Gasses. So, I decided to do the math.
These equations assume that you are using Hasten to get the +Rech you need. Without Hasten you need 200 / 90 - 1 = +122.2% Global.
If you have perma-Hasten you have perma-Dom.
If you have Hasten slotted and with so little global that the down time can exceed 90s then you can't have perma-Dom.
That takes care of the edge cases leaving the case where you're using Hasten, don't have it perma, and have it recharging fast enough that part of the Domination period experiences a Hasten buff. That simplifies the math.
G = Global Recharge
E = Enhancement in Hasten (including any Alpha Slot bonus)
D = Down time for Hasten (in seconds)
D = 366s / (1 + E + G) recharge - 120s up time + 0.924s cast time
What that means is that you will get D * (1 + G) seconds worth of recharge on Domination while Hasten is down and (90s - D) * (1.7 + G) seconds while it is up during a 90s Domination period. That total needs to equal or exceed 200s for you to have perma-Dom.
D * (1 + G) + (90s - D) * (1.7 + G) >= 200s
90 * G - 256.2 / (1 + E + G) + 36.35 >= 0
This line lets you plug in your Global +Rech and Hasten enhancement and see if you have enough. Divide the value on the left by (1.7 + G) and you'll get the +/- seconds versus recharging right on the dot. Note, as per the guide, that's the worst case scenario.
Now, working that last equation so that E is a dependent variable and G independent, that is, so that you can calculate the enhancement needed in Hasten for a given Global Recharge, you get...
E >= (2.443 - 1.404 * G - G^2) / (G + 0.404)
And the reverse, the Global needed for a given enhancement level...
G >= (sqrt(E^2 + 1.192 * E + 11.823) - E - 1.404) / 2
As an example of how to use these equations let's consider my Dom who currently sits at E = 0.833 and G = 0.6125. Plugging those into the first equation I get...
90 * 0.6125 - 256.2 / (1 + 0.833 + 0.6125) + 36.35 = -13.29. Since it's less than 0 I'm short of perma-Dom. Divide that by (1.7 + G) = 2.3125 and you get -5.75s. I come up as much as 6s short right now. (I use Day Job Accolades, Secondary Mutation and Empowerments to make up the difference.)
So, what sort of enhancement would make 61.25% Global work?
E >= (2.443 - 1.404 * 0.6125 - 0.6125 ^ 2) / (0.6125 + 0.404) = 1.188. That's a lot of enhancement, even with an S2 Alpha Boost you'd need 4 L50 IOs slotted to do it.
And what sort of Global will make my 2 L50 IO slotting work?
G >= (sqrt(0.833 ^ 2 + 1.192 * 0.833 + 11.823) - 0.833 - 1.404) / 2 = 71.9%
Here are the equations again:
G = Global Recharge
E = Enhancement in Hasten (including any Alpha Slot bonus)
90 * G - 256.2 / (1 + E + G) + 36.35 >= 0
E >= (2.443 - 1.404 * G - G^2) / (G + 0.404)
G >= (sqrt(E^2 + 1.192 * E + 11.823) - E - 1.404) / 2 -
I had timed him before, but couldn't remember *when* I had timed him.
I just timed him again and it appears that it is actually just under 33s between bifurcations. That's what I get for taking a quick PM to start with instead of starting over from scratch.
Hopefully I can still edit the guide. It doesn't change the strategies any, but does lower the DPS needed to defeat him considerably. It makes the "Lave in Lava" numbers come out more in line with my experience that you have a fair bit of time to defeat the clone and get him in there. -
Quote:They are both 240s duration with a 900s recharge. The Disruptors take about 2.25s to summon while the Widow takes around 3.45s. So the Widow is slightly harder to perma.Originally Posted by Jelloman2K
Thanks y'all for your answers!
Kosmos, your numbers make enough sense to me that I am using them in the build I am planning now. I was at +100% and thinking of dropping Hasten down to 2 slots, but I gave up a power with a 5% recharge IO set bonus instead (leaving me with 3 slots in Hasten and +95%).
Now I just wonder how close to perma my Disruptors and Widow will be...
If they're at the 95% soft cap slotted (that is, 100% before ED) plus the Spiritual, 95% Global and Hasten we get a net Recharge of ED(122.2%) + 11.1% + 95% + 70% = 274.4%. That gives a recharge time of 900s / 3.744 + cast = 243.8s for the Widow with a 3.45s cast. You'd be roughly 4s short of perma on the Widow and 3s short on the Disruptors in that case. Call it about a 95% up time.
Working backwards to get to a 236.55s recharge time for the Widow pet you'd need +280.5% total Rech. You have 176.1% from buffs, Globals and the Alpha non-ED component, leaving 104.4% needed from the ED component. To get that ED value you need 162.7% enhancement prior to ED. Not very feasible, even with 22.2% of that from the Alpha.
However, the Spiritual Total Core Revamp (one of the next tier of Alpha boost options) would need only 74.6% slotted. That's 280.5% - 95% - 70% - 22.5% = 93% needed after ED on the enhancement. Which is 97.1% before ED. Then subtract the 22.5% from the Alpha to leave what you need slotted in the power, 74.6%.
Either that STCR boost or one of the two Spiritual Paragon boosts should make a perma-Hasten Crabbymind able to keep all 6 pets out at once with reasonable power slotting (< 85%). Of course, there's no additional value in making that perma; like Hasten, it's more a matter of neatness than effectiveness (unlike Rage or Domination, both of which lose drawbacks when they are made perma). -
You can make almost any build acceptable, but for me the worst are...
- Grav/Sonic Controller
- Peacebringers
There are a lot of bad powers these days...- Sonic Repulsion
- Black Hole
- Dimension Shift
- Time Bomb
- Flurry
- Group Fly/Group Energy Flight
- Team Teleport
- Invisibility

Quote:+135% Global will reduce Domination's recharge to 85s. So, no, you don't need Hasten.Originally Posted by StormDevil
Apologies for the necro, but I just wanted to be clear here; if I have a (planned) build with a Global Recharge bonus of +135%, I do not need Hasten, right? (I have a really irrational dislike of the graphic on non-Fire powered characters)
-
You actually need a combined +277.9% to get Hasten to recharge as it expires due to the fact that it doesn't start recharging till after the cast has finished while the buff starts right away.
X(1) = 132.2% [1 IO + Spiritual Radial Boost equals ED(42.4% + 22.2%) + 11.1% = 75.7%. Plus the +70% from Hasten leaves that 132.2% needed.]
X(2) = 100.7% [2 IOs + Spiritual Radial Boost equals ED(2 * 42.4% + 22.2%) + 11.1% = 107.2%.]
x(3) = 94.4% [3 IOs + Spiritual Radial Boost equals ED(3 * 42.4% + 22.2%) + 11.1% = 113.5%.] -
I tagged on a bit about Confuse. I checked my toons and have no one to directly test this. If someone does test it, please post here so I can update the guide to remove the disclaimer.

Quote:I think it does slow down his bifurcations, but I hadn't tested it and it complicates the math, so I left it out.Originally Posted by Wavicle
Nice guide.
You might add: -Recharge effects slow down the recharge of the Bifurcation ability.
I admit, I don't have hard evidence of this, but I solod Trapdoor with my Warshade and my Widow. Neither used Holds. The Widow killed two Bifurcations (using the Clone Wars method) while taking him down. The Warshade only had to kill one. It certainly SEEMED that my -Recharge effects were slowing down the clone summoning.
I think I will add it just as a mention, but not add the mathematical complications it creates. As examples of the effects of -Rech: If you have -50% Recharge he'd bifurcate every 40s instead of every 20s, so the minimum DPS to beat him would be lowered to about 150 and would also be pushed back to having 80s to beat him before the 3rd clone (rather than the 4th in the earlier case) made the curve head back up. At a quickly stacked -75% his 2nd bifurcation would come in about 80s and you'd only need around 120 DPS to beat him before that. -
Quote:Here's a link to my advice again.Originally Posted by Pogothulu
Due to pc/laptop issues, I was only able to try the trapdoor mission for the first time last night on my ma/sr scrapper and got very frustrated. any advice?
Since you're a /SR Scrapper the course that is most likely to work is to buy and crafted an Envenomed Dagger at the Consignment House, then buy a few inspirations from Ramiel before entering the mission. All you should need are 4 small reds, perhaps a purple if you're short of the Def cap and maybe a 2 or 3 greens for safety's sake. Those coupled with the Dagger should be plenty to simply walk up and bash him. -
I added a statement of the central notion behind each tactic and some numbers for what you need to be able to simply smack Trapdoor upside the head.
[Edit: Moved most of the math into the "Steamroller" section, since that seemed the more appropriate place for it.] -
Well, (A) should never take more than 60s or so if done right. To give a graphic explanation of why...
Imagine a plot with the DPS on the vertical axis and Time on the horizontal axis. On this a curve for defeating Trapdoor will be a segmented line sketching out a rough bowl shape. That is, the DPS needed to defeat him quickly is very high, but so is the DPS needed to defeat him slowly, as he'll have massive Regen after a period of time. The bottom vertex of this bowl shape is at around 195 DPS and 60s. Any effective DPS (including -Res and -Regen effects and so on) below that won't succeed. Any effective DPS above that (higher on the DPS axis) should take less than 60s as the DPS line will intersect the curve at two places and you'll never reach the one to the right as Trapdoor will be defeated when you reach the one on the left, which will be to the left of the 60s vertex. Of course, this is a simplification, as your DPS isn't a fixed amount, but varies throughout the period, and Trapdoor's Regen isn't smooth, but comes in 5% bursts just like everyone else's.
Anyway, these tactics are intended as just that - tactics. They certainly aren't the only ways to beat Trapdoor. They are basically simple statements of ways to either overpower his Regen (A and D), get around it by attacking the +Regen directly (B) or preventing the +Regen altogether (C). (NOTE: The "Haul to the Hall" tactic that the patch eliminated was a variant of C that could be used by anyone.) The first three tactics aren't spelled out in detail because the characters that can implement them successfully probably aren't the ones having trouble with the mission. They're also pretty obvious. The fourth has a more detailed description because I've found that almost any character can succeed using it just with an inspiration load bought right at the mission door.
