My personal experiance from a couple hundred trials leads me to not think not everything is 100% random.
It seems without fail my high dmg AOE characters get almost only rares and very rares. While low dmg or toons lacking AOE get commons and uncommons. I sure it has a random element in the formula, but it appears to be skewed on certain characters. -
Any brute that performs well in PVE should be able to farm. /WP performs best on S/L farms. WP is not going to put up the same kind of numbers that /fire does in terms of farming speed, but it can get the job done.
For which powers to take; I'd take Tough and Weave for sure along with all your secondary execpt maybe strength of will and resurgence. SOW is nice but not really necessary and the self rez is a play preference. On your primary make sure you take fire sword circle then the rest is really to taste. For IO's build for s/l defense and hitpoints. -
Pocket D for Freedom. There are usually several instances of it all forming Trials.

Quote:Yeah once you get burn you can run +2/x8 easy just fill up on purples and pop 2 or 3 at once. Then you get footstomp at 32 put it at +3 or +4 and watch the XP fly. I stopped at 47 and put most of my sets in and was 50 in about 4 or 5 runs. 3 or 4 hours on a Saturday and then 3 or 4 more on Sunday and he was done. Easy Peasy!Originally Posted by Roderick
Sounds about right. A SS/Fire brute, Elec/Fire brute or scrapper, or Fire/almost anything Tank (plus a variety of other builds) can have capped Fire Resistance and very high Smashing/Lethal Resistance, plus good AoE before they get SOs. By selecting the right farm missions in AE, you can level at ridiculous speeds. -
For a MM I'd go with bots/Traps or /Dark. Bots/Traps turns into an unkillable powerhouse fairly early, but /dark is so easy and twilight grasp is my favorite heal in the game.
I'm really suprised Fire/dark corr hasn't been mentioned yet blooms very early can solo +0/x8 from about lvl 8 if your careful.
Also I'd reccomend DM/SD scrapper. Dark Meele and sheild defense sync better than almost any other powersets in the game. Stacking -tohit with defense and a heal built into your attack chain is a beautiful thing. -
Quote:I'd definitely agree for 1-50, but 1-20 I think your better off with a fire/dark corrupter. The brute doesn't start leveling really fast until you get burn and that's not until 28. I got mine from 18 to 50 in about 6-8 hours of play time.Originally Posted by YoumuKonpaku
SS/Fire Brute was the single fastest leveling character I've ever had in this game. Get up to 16, self-PL the rest of the way. +0/x8 no bosses until footstomp, then add bosses and cruise to 50. Takes like 3 days of interrupted play. And that was with PLing other friends along the way.
edit: If you are having END problems, you need to 1. slot up end reducs and 2. eat more delicious candy. -
Most of my corr's get the mace mastery shield just because it makes getting close to softcap so much easier.
My Sonic/Dark got Ghost widow for power boost though for all the mezzy awesomeness. -
After comments though it looks like I'm prob gonna respec the DB/Dark and also make a Claws/Inv scrapper on the side.
-
Well it makes me feel about my own abilities good that Iggy's build looks very similar to the one I made.

Basically I'm asking if I should respec the Dark brute or roll an invuln.
-
Definately going to go play with this when I get off work!
It also gives me a reason to dust off my Ice/storm Corr who has been sitting in the late 30's for a while now. Ice storm, Freezing Rain, and blizzard. -
I think he's talking about how pets now apply interface procs. So all of your rain powers should be awesome now?
This might be awesome for my Fire/Cold corr....
Edit: I don't think its going to out pace a ss/fire. -
So I guess I should have put Farming in title to get anyone to reply.

Combat jumping goes on all my characters. End is 0.06/sec I think. It is free defense. Slap a lotg 7.5 in there and go. Combined with hurdle the boost to jump height makes Super Speed a lot more zone friendly.
Maneuvers is a little bit better defense and cost way more end, but it goes to the whole team. I do have it on many of my characters since inherent fitness, but combat jumping just a no brainer. -
I was playing around on Mids last night trying to decide what my next character to Build up will be.
I have a DB/Dark that is already 50 and has his T3 cardiac alpha. His build right now if almost entirely focused on Recovery because of the end heavy nature of dark, but because of his alpha I can respec into a S/L softcap build that I have planned out on Mids.
I have also been thinking about /Inv. I love Inv, (my first 50 was a WM/Inv tank thats been shelved because tanks are terrible and boring) but my current fire/inv is shelved because my fire/sd scrapper puts out way better dps. So last night I made a massively awesome ss/inv build (soft cap to S/L/E/N/F/C w/ only 1 in Invicible, but I had to use one pvp +3% def and I don't ever think any IO is worth 2 bil.) I have too many SS brutes aready so I am thinking going with a different primary maybe stone or claws.
NOT ASKING FOR BUILDS. I'm basically just looking for any thoughts on which to go with. Money isn't really an object, but I tend to mostly ignore purples and pvp IO's as not worth the money. -
Tried again the other night and with it about 2/3 health RNG decided I needed to die. So I got pissed and did something else.
Might try again tonight, depends how many friends are on. -
I have a lvl 50 DB/Dark. I've never seen another one. He's my LGTF specialist, just kinda seems unkillable on it (except hami of course.)
He needs a respec though. I need to build him for S/L defense now that he has T3 cardiac and no longer needs total focus on recovery/end redux. -
Quote:I'll agree that this is the trend lately on the greater part of the forums, but there hasn't been too much of that on this thread. It seems like its turned into how great an idea having "incarnate settings" for other TF's would be.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Far too many people are spouting such things as "The devs are FORCING us to do this!" and completely glossing over the fact that they made the choice to do it themselves.
Yes its my choice that I have basically only run BAF's and Lamda's since i20, but that doesn't mean more choices where to get incarnate goodies is a bad thing. -
I'm pretty sure those Rikti Drones have a hugely increased tohit make the soft cap vs them alot higher than other enemies.
-
Pretty sure he means the immobilize.
-
It's all about playing it the way you enjoy it. Gloom is great but its not like your leaving out footstomp or shield charge from the build.
-
I have an Arch/TA and its tons of fun. Not going to lie and say he's my most powerful corr but major fun to play. Super fast animation times for most of your powers and NO REDRAW!!!!Seriously I'd say go with TA just to eliminate the redraw.
TA does a ton of different things well, but not really anything great. Except flash arrow. Flash arrow is awesome. It lasts 60sec I think but recharges in 5-6 secs (or something like that, I know mine can stack atleast 5 or 6 of them on a mob at a time.) Super Speed, stealth, and Flash arrow you can run up to AV's, click glowies, etc. you are the ultimate stealth tp'er.
PS. Scourging Rain of Arrows FTW! -
My choice would be thunderstrike or burn. Your going to be spamming them so it gives the most mileage.
I'd repalce the +recharge proc in lightning rod for another dmg proc. Since it is a pseudo pet it gives the +rech for each enemy hit to the psuedo pet instead of you. The only one your character makes use of is when you click the power. You might aswell have it in a single target attack the way it behaves. -
Quote:I was thinking this aswell. If you make the trials the only place with the component reward table and maybe make the thread drop rate for the old TFs lower than the trials. That way you still have an incentive to run the trials for incarnate, but running any TF still gives you some progress, instead of basically none.Originally Posted by Citizen_Razor
Because I'm sure the devs will want to keep people's interests up in the trails, they could be the only places that drop emp merits and the "random" component tables.
-
Nah its better now because it places the proc on all attacks. Before it only boosted fire dmg unless I'm remembering incorrectly.
