BAH!! typo FTW!!
I meant to type There's NO increased chance of one when low on health!

I believe Critical's are only based on each individual power. Some, for example Broadsword's lvl 32 attack, Headsplitter, have a higher critical chance. AFAIK there's increased chance of one when at low health.

I was there! it was a pleasure Composure, and everyone else, to see you ding!

Also it's being adjusted so you drain a %age of end instead of a fixed value.

Oh no Foamy, I have a DM/EA brute! As you said, EA doesn't really give any resistance as such, or the resistance is very low as it's mostly a Def based set, so it can make me very squishy.

I also have a Kin/Rad Def (First to 50 on Defiant! ) and I'd recommend slotting Irradiate with Def-debuff. it's the strongest debuff in the game, and well slotted gives great results.

I picked Dark mastery and that also has an end drain attack so I dropped Stamina, and I can't say it's caused me too much bother at all.

Endurance is a major bugbear on my DM/EA brute, at least until you pick up Stamina, and I've now been able to respec it ouy dur to Dark Consumption and Energy drain, and Conserve power is going to be my next choice too. I can see other builds being hampered by end issues though, so it might be an idea to use Fury for your damage and slot 2 end redux in every power, along with a recharge redux or 2.

Well done mate, always good to see a fellow Scotsman dinging!

I've got to level 32, but haven't even done any Strike Force as yet, so I'd like to remedy this tonight.

So, anyone up for either the First Strike Force, or even the second, say, from 9pm tonight? Send a tell to @Miss Chief if you're interested so I cans ee who's interested soon as I log in! No idea on level restrictions though, although I'm sure someone else knows!

QFT!!

Fallen Femme's the the worst VG I've ever been in, but because this is villains, that's makes them the best! nearly every time I'm on villains there's a team on the go, and they have great, busy coalitions that make teaming easier.

Do you really need aid self when you have transfusion, the best without penalty heal in the game? Also IR with 3 jumps is too much. With a single Jump SO it's just like SJ, although I have an extra slot with recharge so I can choose when I want to use it. A couple of extra end mods into transference (possibly the ones from IR!) will top up anyone's endurance, and is great for those blasters that like their nova's etc. There's usually at least one critter left who hasn't died, so a quick transference blast and they're up and running again. Also I notice you're stamina-less, so topping up your own end fully will matter more.

I often question of ID is actually worth it as a proactive buff rather than a reactive one as the duration is so short. I only really use it for anti knockback against SV's heavy on it and for anti mez, much like clear mind.

For Dominate you're probably better off slotting hold duration rather than damage, but that's just IMO.

Also, what Moon Angel Said. unstoppable is a priceless power. When the doodoo hits the rotaional wind maker, it can literally save your life, and unlike, say, moment of Glory, all your buffs toggles still work, so you can get pretty much capped Res, and you can still use Dull Pain and pop any number of insps you want, although oranges would be kinda pointless. With issue 7 and it's blinking technology, it becomes even more useful as you can tell when it's about to drop.

i'd say you want to be slotting your invuln before you slot your claws IMO. Claws isn't too great damage wise, so it's better to stay alive longer. Take your Dull Pain, it needs 3 health and 3 recharge earlier, same with RPD and TI. The to hit buff from invincibility is next to nothing these days, think about the slots elsewhere.

As has been noted, Flurry sucks, take hasten instead, 3 slot for recharge. if you slot Dull Pain 3 health and 3 recharge, with hasten you should be just fine without 3 slotting health, and that's what greens are for anyway. You might want 1 or 2 Dam Res in Unstoppable, not sure on the figures though!

Stealth's def buff isn't that great TBH, although having that and SS almost equals invisibility, so perhaps one single slot with Def buff there.

Basically your slotting at the levels seems to be all over the place. Not slotting shockwave until level 50 seems a little strange.

you want Stamina ASAP, also slot every toggle, AND attack with end redux as well, otherwise your end will disappear faster than the minion you just crit'd with headsplitter. I know. i've been there. Even with everything slotted with end redux, attacks and Toggles I still need to use hasten so Conserve power comes back in time, or make sure I have some blues. BS/INvuln is almost as much of an end hog as a DM/DA scrapper!

I'd think carefully about the passives, the buff they give isn't that hot really, I ever even bothered with them, and I know another DM/Invuln who never bothered either.

Oh yeah, slot an Acc into air supp, you want to use it for soft control, if a PP is on it's back, it can't MoG/Unstoppable!

No Build up? The joys of a built up Crit with headsplitter are wonderful!

I don;t see any accuracies in your attacks? The to-hit from Invincibility is pretty poor these days, you'll need to slot acc, although I do notice this is a level 50 build. What do you do if you PvP and your FA get's detoggled, or you go to Sirens, Bloody bay or Warburg?

Qinetiq doesn't have CJ, SJ or Acrobatics. she doesn't have a travel power at all actually, just relies on IR to get around. It can be a pain though, being thrown all over the place, but you get used to it.

Still here, from phase one of the EU beta, longest I've been away was about 2 weeks when I forgot about my sub and there was no money in the bank! 3 50's to show for it, which is pretty disappointing.

Truth be told, I'm humming and hawing about cancelling, I'm mortally afraid that every other MMO I try just won't be as good as this, yet I'm becoming extremely bored with heroes, and probably once I get a lvl 50 Villain will be rather bored with that too.

All I can say is Issue 8 had better be something really, REALLY special, otherwise I'll have to cancel. I've been playing alot less recently, Battlefield 2 is taking up more and more of my time!

Well Done hootie! Shame I couldn't be there, been working alot recently and it's really cut into my play time.

Yep, and it's got the biggest Def debuff of any Rad attack.

Tough hide does counter the -Def from unyielding though, so bear that in mind.

I picked it on my Defender, and realised the buff it gives to Kin powers is, well, pathetic. As he said, I7 should sort this out.

IMO slice is required up until the first respec opportunity, when you can get rid of it, but the first 20 or so levels you need every attack you can get.

if you're gonna run tactics, make the most of it by 3 slotting it, then you just might be able to drop Focussed acc at times. build up much earlier and no Instant Healing? O.o

Yes, but it's also got a very high chance of knockdown, giving you a chance to run away, and is also -fly on the bad guy too. It has it's uses for squishies.
