i see 4 enhancers not doing much in hurdle and swift that could be used to greater effect in other powers

[/ QUOTE ]Seconded, dominators get way too few slots anyways, putting some in hurdle and swift just makes it worse.

WTH ? max agreeing with me ? think i'm gonna faint !

[/ QUOTE ]See, that's what happens when you start posting sensible stuff

Kin/Elec/Elec defender.

3 Big end drains there

[/ QUOTE ]4 actually, the nuke drains 50%, with additional chance for two seperate 25% drains. (Against critters, less against players)

[ QUOTE ]

MaX, where do you look up these figures? I want to check a few figures in TA.


[/ QUOTE ]The new NoFuture Database

HP drains are mostly poor powers. Endurance drain build is possible, but much easier to do in CoH than CoV due to the fact that there is no electric blast set in CoV. If one was going to make it in CoV, I'd go with either /kin corruptor or elec/elec brute.

With /NRG, you don't need low end primary, since you get both energy drain and CP in your secondary. I'd suggest fire for AoE and SS for ST.

AFAIK there is no -ACC on granite mine has shown no signs of missing more than when out of granite.

[/ QUOTE ]It had -30% acc which was removedin I3, and now it has -30% dam and -65% rech.

[ QUOTE ]
- Freezing Rain: The Def_Debuf is smallish and should only be enhanced imho if you have spare slots.

[/ QUOTE ]It's 30% -def. For comparison, controller Rad Infection is only -25% def.

My favourite Offender conept had to be the Rad/* Offender who let their teammates die so they could cast Vengeance and then go to town with Fallout. As such, you could Radient Aura. Something about being able to heal but choosing not to is just really creepy for a Defender - especially if you don't tell the PUG you just joined why I heard a team of 8 such folks could lay waste to pretty much anything, but that was before (and probably why!) they made Vengeance unstackable. I never got to try that build out myself

[/ QUOTE ]

I've always wanted to do a themed offender team. If anyone else wants to try the whole 8 xrad/rad I would SO love to try this. I think rad/rad would be the best thing to have 8 of because EF+AM+Leadership alone, on all 8 people pretty much provides you with all the defence, accuracy, damage, stamina, recharge and status protection you could ever wish for.

[/ QUOTE ]
Why /rad? Other secondaries would be equally/more useful.

[/ QUOTE ]Rad=Best AoE.

[ QUOTE ]

And it's not Fly that helps against Knockback (though it does provide a bit of help) it's Hover that does so. With Hover active you'll just spin quickly in place once instead of being tossed back several yards and then have to stand up.

[/ QUOTE ]Fly does exactly the same. However, running fly in fights is much worse for your END than hover.

45%, unslottable IIRC.

[ QUOTE ]
Sonic Blast is an awesome set, damage-wise. Resistance debuffs allow your damage to exceed the damage cap, too.*

*Correct me if I'm wrong, Max!

[/ QUOTE ]Well, you're not actually exceeding the damage cap, since the damage cap is only a cap on how much damage buffs you can have, and resistance doesn't change that. What it does do is make your foes take more damage from your attacks.

You'll need evasion if you want to survive against nemmies.

[ QUOTE ]

Also you can't triple stack Fortitiude on everyone... can you?

[/ QUOTE ]Each empath can keep 3 people perma-forted, maybe 4 with the +rech from AB.

[ QUOTE ]
In comparison to dark, yes.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldnt agree, a TA mastermind played correctly could take down any AT

[/ QUOTE ]And dark couldn't?

[ QUOTE ]
(Break Free inspirations do not help, for example)


[/ QUOTE ]They do, if you take them before you get hit by KB.

It's 75% def, so you'd need to be hit by over 30% debuff for enemies to have any higher chance of hitting you.

Acrobatics is indeed not necessary, although if you atre taking SJ as a travel power it's only 1 more power pick and thus pretty nice. I suggest you do a build with the planner and post it here, after which we can make suggestions on how to improve it.

[ QUOTE ]

After trying this planner, I am confused, because it lets me choose from the power pool at level 16 (while the manual says you get a 3rd rank at lvl 14 and a 4th rank at lvl 20).

Does it mean that I can spend as many points as I want in the power pools? Like, if I'm really freak, spend 5x4 power s in it?

[/ QUOTE ]You can pick a 1st or 2nd tier pool power at any power level at 6+, 3rd tier at any power level 14+, and 4th tier at any power level 20+, as I explained in my previous post.

You could, technically, pick 4*4 pool powers and 4 epic pool powers, but that would mean that you'd spend most of your power picks on those and only be able to get 4 primary/secondary powers in total, severely gimping your character.

[ QUOTE ]
TA!!! BADD!!!??? ON A MASTERMIND!!???

[/ QUOTE ]In comparison to dark, yes.

[ QUOTE ]
Thought about Kinetics instead of rad? if you arent taking debuffs siphon power, siphon speed, and fulcrum shift would be of more use to you . . .

[/ QUOTE ]All of which, are debuffs

[ QUOTE ]
they are blastfenders

[/ QUOTE ]Offenders

[ QUOTE ]

Origin specific travel powers.

[/ QUOTE ]Selectable travel power types=good.
Mutliple travel power types, but all of them tied to your origin=BAD.

[ QUOTE ]

But last thing I want is a RAD defender with Psi powers.. would be going 99% Psi based, maybe "Radiant Aura" and "Accelerated Metabolism", the rest, Psi or Power Pool.


[/ QUOTE ]You'll want EF to do damage, RI to stay alive, Propably LR too.

[ QUOTE ]

With one recharge slotted, it recharges faster than the activation time. Any extra slots are a waste.

[/ QUOTE ]not technically, since the recharge perioid only starts after the activation time has finished.
