Quote:LOL. You were trying to keep the cost down and you put 4 sets of Kinetic Combats in it?Originally Posted by May Flowers
wow, I have been running this build without all the IO's and thought I was doing good
. So to get mu mastery I have to go all the way redside? Been looking at some of the other builds in the forums and just get really confused on what is the best. Was try to go for a nonpurple/nonpvp IO build, to keep the cost down.
If this is a straight farming build, all you want to slot for is recharge, and ED lvl damage in your AOE attacks. If your doing it right, insirations drop so quickly you can easily fill any other gaps in your build. Mu lets you (with enough recharge) use footstomp, elec fences, ball lightning, and burn as a seamless AOE attack chain.
If you plan on running other content, the S/L defense really helps out /fire. Your best bet is to make 2 builds, one for regular content and the other 100% farming. -
The Dmg aura favors the brute because it has a taunt component and the guy your trying to kill doesn't randomly run away.
-
Sorry about the tread jack....
But seriously they had to change Ice armor for stalkers to have hide, shouldn't it be a direct port to brutes from tanks? The same goes for Ice melee. -
Quote:HAHA. Theft of essence chance for +end in dark reg, a numina's +/+ and the miracle + in health. All are easily gotten with merits. The rest is just using inspirations. Dark is an amazing set, but it is not turn on your toggles and go WP.Originally Posted by Tramontane
I always love how people who don't have five billion influence to spend on lovecraftian IO builds to make suck sets into broken sets "Don't know how to play a game."
It's like every infantile logical fallacy rolled into one.
Your doing it wrong. -
Quote:Yeah that one, that turns into and unstoppable killing machine with a little IO love and a basic idea of how to play the game.Originally Posted by Tramontane
Oh, hey, yeah. Dark Armor.
You know, that Brute set that's so god-awful to play that the legendary badness has become a running gag. -
Quote:Hmmmm... Repeatedly mashing my binds seems to have the exact opposite effect for me. Maybe I need to rework my binds. The way it is now it seems if I hit my bind more than once (even outside combat) it tends to usually do nothing.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I've always pushed for shorter times, as that would make the interruption much less likely and the whole AT a lot less clunky.
How to deal with it? I just repeatedly mash my E key, which is my "jump to dwarf" bind. This tactic has an extra benefit of automatically activating Dwarf Mire as soon as I do shift. The one bind is set up to use both powers.
I'll have a look at my binds when I get home tonight. I don't even remember what they are anymore. I made them around i12 I think. -
Animation times on the shapeshifts really do need to be reduced and made non-interuptable. Very often, I'll try to shift to dwarf (ususally because of mez) and die waiting for it to happen because it was interupted.
On a side note, anyone have any tips for dealing with this? It is my biggest aggravation when playing my WS. -
I'm pretty sure you can only have one VS at a time.

Quote:You can get /SD with 95% defense debuff resistance using HO's. Lots of good examples of it on the scrapper forums.Originally Posted by Sardan
The one weakness SD has compared to a set like Super Reflexes is lower defense debuff resistance. If debuffing foes get a couple of lucky hits in, your defense can crumble fast. It's rare but it happens.

Quote:No one is doubting Invuln. We are just repeatedly proving to Giant2005 that Shield isn't terrible like keeps saying and he can't seem to understand.Originally Posted by Granite Agent
Invuln can be really tough late game if built right.
-
I don't have MID's on this computer (at work,) but going by memory on set bonuses and giving you the benefit of the doubt, color me impressed.
It doesn't look like you'd be running the top attack chain and I'm not a fan of just 4 kin combats in the attacks (doesn't ED cap enough), but it should be extremely tough.
I still don't get why your down on /SD, it's a great set. -
Quote:It is not impossible, but it likely take weeks or months on each character. We don't know shard drop rates, except that they drop much more frequently in task forces.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
Well the conversion rates are pretty liberal, it seems.
What are the shard (or thread?) drop rates for each iTrial? I assume that normal content drop rates would be lower than an iTrail's?
Could I for example expect to get a single shard in, say, a single 4-hour solo game session fighting lvl 50 mobs? That rate or higher, and i'm happy with the solo route to incarnates.
I was under the impression that it was impossible to solo my way to a 'fully slotted' Incarnate. If it's just 'very slow', then fair enough.
Eco.
A few months back,I tried to farm for shards in regular content. I ran multiple clear all lib tv farms and it ended with me averaging less than one shard per run. -
Quote:On all of them? I'd love to see this /DA build that is capped to S/L/E/N. I'd say impossible or impossibly gimped.Originally Posted by Giant2005
I always cap S&L, E&N on all my characters unless they are specialized in Farming or PVP characters.
Also everyone is forgetting that AAO has a nice -dam to all foes in its aura (its not much but its there). -Dmg acts just like resistance.
High end Invuln builds are tougher, but Shield can be very, very tough and gives you a lot more dmg than Invuln. -
Quote:This was after the Globals came back up. When the globals were down, AE just wasn't working at all.Originally Posted by _Klaw_
There were problems with globals and AE last night that the devs were working on. Hopefully fixed now (I'm at work so can't check).
Edit: Announcement here. The globals being down would have affected the mission ratings and email page so that would explain your problems. -
Quote:I did not try that. That is much easier than what I was doing.Originally Posted by buzsaw
easier thing to do is pass lead then have them pass it back.. worked for me. same bug.
-
Last night I was helping get a friend some lvls in AE. After every mission comple when I tried to select the mission again to run it again it said that I was still on a task force and would not let me select the new mission. The only way I could get the new mission was to kick everyone and then reform the team.
I talked to the contact again after mission complete to finish off the mission and it even changed the contact back to the holographic guy thats there when you don't have a mission, but it kept telling me that I was still on a mission when I wasn't.
Did anyone else get this? -
I'm need to play with a human only build when I get home to MIDs. Is it possible to make a perma eclipse human only build with lots of def? I'm dreaming about 85% resist to all, ~32.5% def (S/L, Melee, Ranged or some combination of those), and sub 10 second stygian circle.
It is probably just a dream though. -
Get your Fire resist up to 90%, slot your aoe's for dmg, and everything else use cheap sets to get +recharge bonuses. The goal is to get your recharge high enough to have a pure AOE attack chain. My SS/fire only uses Footstomp, electric fences, ball lightning, and burn in his chain. All the other holes in your build like Defense and Endurance are easily filled by inspirations that drop like rain.
-
Anyone know the top single target DPS chains for a Fire/Elec blaster.
I'm guessing some combination of Shocking Grasp, Blaze, Havok punch, Fire blast. Something like that seems to be about what I usually run on AV's.
I like to know whats best to give myself something to aspire towards and I'm confused as how to determine what it is. -
Quote:I ended up going cardiac on mine because he had endurance issues, but he's got a pretty cheap build.Originally Posted by Dacu
Yeah, think I might just go Fire/Shield, seems to be well rounded and a top performer. Should I go Musculature alpha? Spiritual?
-
/Shield compliments it pretty well. Fire has no mitigation built in to it so you want a tough secondary and the +dmg from AAO does awesome things with all the fire dmg goodness.
-
Quote:Its easier to reach ~70% fury now. The nerf is that it is nearly impossible to get over 75-80%. So brutes that ran at nearly 100% fury all the time can only get about 80% = NERF.Originally Posted by Gobbledygook
Ah, I didn't realize that was thought of as a nerf. Personally, I have no problems reaching 70% fury
-
Quote:LOL! I'll get right on that!Originally Posted by Invincible_Ninja
Hi, I,m looking for a type of brute that uses a good amount of pbaoe and is relatively cheap to create. Please post any builds you have that fit this (mid's hero designer)
-
Yeah, looks like an improvement to me. Especially since you don't have to mule boxing for a kinetic combat set anymore.
Kinda makes me want to try to put some more recharge in mine, but he's got T3 spiritual alpha already and with that every thing that I want to be is basically perma. -
It looks pretty good to me.
1. Moving that slot for the kismet accuracy would help, your accuracy isn't the greatest but not bad.
2. I would definitely do this. I don't have the nuke. Between Sleet, RoF, Fireball, and now even Judgement, I don't miss it.
Also, I HATE Fire Breath. I have it on my Fire/rad and it is basically a set mule. The animation feels really long and it never seems to hit more than 1 or 2 targets for me. I'd drop that and move those slots else where, but some people like it and swear by it.
He's my build. Maybe you can grab an idea or two from it.
