New Dawn

o.O

My goal is going to be to need Powersink for survivability somewhere. Infact this is going to work out for me better in the long run. Mostly so that I can have a tank, which like all my tanks, doesn't play and feel like any of my other tanks. It throws me how anyone wants to or why people basically do, turn one tank into another tank that more or less plays and is trivialled the same as some other and lacking a distinguishing feature.

Ill be making Powersink return in less than 20 secs, if I am not economically doing my job right I might run out of end.

And then you wander into melee range to dark consume. Oppressive Gloom won't be always be a life saver. Looking at it between Combat Jump and Maneuvers and all the +range you don't need weave. Also a stealth IO can fit in combat jump. One could remove weave, stealth and dark consume for fitness pool and have greater end gain over time. Boxing and Tough that looks taken to get weave could be swapped out. Black star could be looked at for a decent panic button but EMP is good for it without watching your end disappear. It is plausible that another build can still have decent ranged def, stay ranged and function at pace better due to greater flexibility.

Where are the statistics?

A great player can have a pacifistic support character if they want, which is one of the things I like about this game. They shouldn't be judged as a player from it. What matters is the correct way to play for the player. They're paying for their account, it is preferable that they can adapt to the teams dynamics but you can't expect them to have a build that satisfies everyone. Some people will prefer them and some people won't, simple as that. It's just one of those subjective things. I prefer flexibility and most people when looking to invite a Defender prefer someone who can actually defend. If they wanted a blaster they would of looked for one.

I just up-repped you. Don't be a stranger, be open minded.

I like what Luminara said earlier but I have shortened it:

"Forget what you think you know and learn the truth".

I don't know who down repped you btw or if it was in this section but for what it maybe for, it helps to understand that 99.9% of the players do lack game know how and one should have an idea that one is always one of them in terms of "something". That point is pretty much acceptable to say I think. So it's best to keep an open mind. In terms of gaining enough survivability from a trick archers level of support as any type of tankers perspective I have no issues. Castle put a very clever powerset out there to support anyone who fancies doing things differently once in a while, putting brains over braun for a change even.

There is one reason to whinge about the Trick Archer and that is down to the player behind the character but don't get me wrong, if you as a player do not offer them the dynamics needed for survivability, then there is not always a lot that the Trick Archer can do.

As said, as a tanker of any type, trick archery is potentially good enough to have in team to me as any, being that I am only concerned with team survivability. I do prefer fully primary setted Trick Archers as the whole set is gold to me.

If you have to keep coming out of Nova form to use haste then some DPS is going to be lost. At best looking at getting the attack rate up I had 95,5 DPS in Nova form, no haste, dark sustenance off. Each attack can only happen once the other attack finishes. If Dark Nova Bolt is 1.5 secs and Dark Nova Blast is 1.5s your best recharge is 1.5 secs but then you have to add Arcanatime. I had it buzzsawed plus I had damage buffs but still only 95.5dps maxxed.

I'll look to find out what select few it may do over the weekend but I am still as skeptical as I was when the thread started. Insps + temps or mates standing by watching, supplying sustenance then fine, otherwise..well I haven't spent as much time on khelds as some people.

Looks rather high to me. Did you have Dark Sustenance on?

I made a build that is simplistic in survivability with some AVs and doing enough damage to meet the regen that is specified here, if the regen is the same then I think I have potentially managed to stale mate. This build I might add won't run out of endurance as it just passes break even. So close and yet so far, oh well.

Ah but can't Ninja's put on weight and be tanks?

WaWG is better for the Huntsman really.
