Depends how many slots you can save for Jolting Chain.
Elec/Elec/Mu sees me trying to get bywith a lot of four- and five-slot set ups.
If I could spare it: Negative energy proc (purple), chance for hold (ranged IO), smashing proc (KB set), +recharge (KB set), and two 50 IO Accuracies.
Would that +Recharge benefit me or the target on each part of the chain that procs?
Oh well, I doubt I'll get enough slots free to do this!
EDIT: Hmm, was looking it up... Decimation's build up proc... considering how many targets it can hit....
And there's also a PVP ranged IO damage proc (heck, if you have enough set bonuses... slot all 6!)
Again, Decimations Build Up proc will be mostly useless, as it affects the caster, which for 15 of thr 16 targets, isnt you. Only Procs which affect the target will be useful in JC. -

this had me confused for a while as well. but appears the chance for procs in jolting chain =
- if the proc affects you, like the chance for recharge, it only checks on the initial target
- if the proc affects them, like the chance for damage procs, then it checks for every target hit.
The proc always checks on each target, and gives the bonus back to the caster.
its unfortunate that the caster for each knockdown after the initial one is a pseduopet. so if the proc fires off, it would effectively do nothing. -
All login specific.
Also these should be assigned as an account affector, like Veteran Badges. Whereby if i have an active account, i get the badge, its a pain if I happen to be away during the anniversary or I go home for christmas. -

There is no such thing as a "self-benefitting proc". All procs have a chance to fire on the target of the power. For a while you could slot the end mod stun in stamina and stun yourself. Right now if you put performance shifter's proc into an electric attack, it gives stamina to the enemy.
Read the power carefully to see who the target is.
Procs either;
1) Have a chance to Proc on the target
2) Have a chance to Proc on the caster.
Performance Shifter is an example of (1) it has a proc chance on the target. As has been said, in CA, there are 2 EndMod flagged targets. 1 is you, so theres a proc chance for you, and 1 is every enemy in your aura (up to its max size)
Call of the Sandman is an example of (2), this proc has a chance to affect whomever casts the sleep power. Lets look at the sleep power. This proc gives a chance to heal you when you cast the power, and then has a proc chance to heal the speduopet as it pulses it's heal, so here its a fairly useless proc.
But the flags of affect on the power are important too! lets look at Panacea, its a heal set, and the proc has a chance to heal/give endurance the target, so its a (1). In Conductive Aura, will it function like performance shfter? No, because CA doesnt affect health of the enemy, just yours. So this proc is safe to have in this power, only ticking on you. -
I find naming to be the hardest part of character creation.

If you are in a PvP zone and a purple drops for you, is it going to be a Shield Wall or is it gonna be a Fortunata? I know which one I'd place my bet on.
Since Shield Wall isn't a purple set, it would have to be a Fortunata, or another, actual purple set.
On topic, I got 2 purps last night in 30 mins of eachother, when i usually get one every couple of months.
Grav Anchor and, ironically Fortunata, which I need for my build, so i'm not complaining. -
/Sonic also does the same with a toggle granting yourself and others around you damage ressitance, and protection to held/stunned/immob

My elec/ Earth final plan will be permadom / softcapped S/L, now with the i19 changes coming, its alot easier if you're willing to take a few mules, but I had this build planned for i18 anyway, which has allowed me to take a few more for fun powers with i19 changes.

Speaking of Power Boost and ElecControl....
How would an Elec/Ice Dom be? I mean, I definitely seem at least "some" synergy there for sure: Power Boost would greatly boost the amount of endurance you could drain...and Chilling Embrace+Conductive Aura sounds like a pretty mean combination for screwing over any mobs in melee range.
Thoughts?
Im running one now, shes not has high as my Elec/ Earth yet, but I cant wait to see what the synergy with Chilling Embrace and Conductive Aura will be like. -
Elec/Earth here, definately needs stamina!
But again, not taking up my power pics for long! -
Also, the cance for build up proc will have a chance to proc when you place the mortar, this chance will affect you, placing a Build Up effect on you.
Then every shot it takes it will have a chance ot proc that will NOT affect you, this would affect the mortar. So ultimately its a wasted choice.
I heard the chance for hold proc goes well in it. But I would definately fit in the achilles heel, its golden. -

As in make all of the powers in each pool useful, at least situationally.

I love how people complain when we don't get patch notes about the silly little stuff.
and then when we do, people complain

Just a selfish request. I really just want to play a Gravity/Traps controller so I can tp-bomb groups.

My Elec/Earth Domi has the "Lava vein" Earth Assault option, with the main part being rock coloured, but the vein of colour being the same colour as whatever colour I have the electricity in his powers coloured at the time, to appear as if his electricity runs through the earth he weilds.

Nows the time to do this with i19's Fitness change too.
-
assuming you could get a build that can fit 5 of each level of debt protection, I work it out at 37.5 % being the max available. Which isnt alot, now if 100% was achievable, maybe I would play a blaster
-
I would be happy with a similar themed box as the one you get when entering SG base when multiple options are available.
"Enter Hero Ourb"
or
"enter Villain Ourb" for Rouges Vigis obviously.
The number of times I've gone to that glorified transit zone and forgotten by rogue/vigi wasn't going to go to the one I thought they would. -
I would guess that DR in PvE wont be happening for 2 reasons [Popular Comic Book Franchise makes an MMO we can't talk about] and [Popular Space Sci-Fi Franchise makes an MMO we can't talk about].
certainly one of those games I will become a subscriber to, and if i felt that my characters here had become drastically changed by DR, then I may well spend more time there anyway. (ive been waiting for this ALONG time, and am building a new computer to accommodate it, so yeah)
I would imagine that such a drastic change to the game may have a negative effect with real options coming onto the market soon.
However I do agree that this is going to be a considerably huge issue, so my bet is on;
ALOT of end-game content
Moonbase ()
Zone overhalls
Backpieces (jetpacks, swords etc) -
Take that Cottage Rule.

On top the the general neglect for APPs, an Earth APP for doms runs into the problem that there's really only like 3 powers that would work for it in the game (4 if you steal an attack from the Igneous), so they'd probably have to make an all-new power with its own stats, animation, and VFX to make a full APP. -

Same reason that Conductive Aura doesn't take accurate healing; because IO's "aren't" factored in while making new power sets.
Condcutive Aura doesnt take accurate healing because the portion of the power that increases you regeneration and recovery rate is auto-hit. It doesn't take accurate healing for the same reason no empathy powers take accurate healing. Theres no need for accuracy.
Gremlins on the other hand take accuracy, recharge, endurance redux and endurance modification. All this offered by the EndMod sets, and theres no reason for them not to take these sets.
Some pets take sets that will only affect 1 power the pet has, but every power the gremlins use would be affected by endMod, so theres no reason for it not to be there. -
The prescence pool is really for tankerminding, not for pulling.
My soft capped S/L Demons/Dark rarely takes a hit, even when shes taunted herself 8 man groups. When she does take a hit the damage is spread out among her pets in bodyguard mode, and she takes very little damage overall.
As an example I was doing an STF the other night, and it was the time to search for the Security Guard? key holder. I glanced away from the screen and msised that we got the key, and charged into the next group of enemies while the rest of the team took a tangent and made for the door.
I was stood in the group, with the ambush from defeating a Securit Guard joining in too, wondering why the epyleptic fits of joy of other peopls powers firing off had not started why I noticed they were already taking down the first AV.
So I calmly finished off the 2 groups I had and made to join the rest.
Ive played bots to 40ish, and its fun, But i personally have never gotten on with the static nature of traps.
