HERP A DERP, I found it.
I need tail feathers for my birds. -
Its -MAX ENDURANCE.
You hit 5 targets, you lose 5 points from your max endurance.
The power is crap, and it will make your have a siezure. -

I'll admit I haven't done exhaustive research on the topic, but I did look at other Defender powersets but nothing jumped out at me as being better. What am I missing? -
Here you go.
Regular softcap, decent recharge and some nifty procs where I could fit them.
I know I could do better If I rebuilt it a few times, but this is just to give you an idea.

Ok I will post a build tonight.
Ok no purples, I will still aim for the standard softcap to range and AoE, you can pop a luck for trials/DA.
Is 5 LOTG +7.5% recharge ok? They aren't that hard to get. -
Just need some thoughts, as I am planning my build.
On beta, skipping Merurial is rather painful leveling up,
as for ST damage Its just AS and Precise strike till 26, then 32...
But on a min maxed build do you think its do able or recommended?
Another nine pick set, it seems.... -
I won't buy TW until there is a stalker version.
Untill then I am settling for staff, IF THEY INCREASE THE RADIUS OF EYE OF THE STORM. -
Boo hoo.
Welcome to how it's always been on villian side. -
Is your toon in heat?

Discount it? I'm not discounting it. What I mean by that comment was I don't know how much Power Siphon helps out Scrapper KM, versus CS refreshing BU for Stalkers.
Using the Stalker Proc, BU became a regular part of my attack chain. ^_^
REspec needed! -
What is your budget and goals?
Incarnate soft cap?
Recharge to get the Up/Down on RoA and all traps low as possible?
Explain why you want Power BU on a set combo that doesn't benefit from i really.
How about Dark mastery, Dark Consumption, Dark Embrace/Soul Transfer, Soul Drain instead?
Let me know and I will put something together and post it. -
Quote:Don't discount BU refresh on KM. solo its a 10% chance (more if you care to levelrage the stalker proc), on teams its a 33% chance.Originally Posted by BrandX
Mids isn't accounting for Procs but some quick/rough math has me seeing the following...
MA 180-190
NB 190-200
EM 175-190
DM 170-180
KM 180-200
This is with trying to factor in the use of Build Up when it's up, and picking what I would suspect would be the optimal slotting for MOST NOT ALL, slotting.
So obviously, there will be variance, buuuut...this is what it's looking like to me so far.
Something to note as well, is with AS in the chain, some of the top chains become easier to obtain.
Dark Melee for instance, I'd go with SM - SL - AS - MG - Repeat (this also goes with the idea of the Stalker IO Set being put to best use in AS) over SM - SL - SM - MG. With AS having a longer animation than SM, that means MG needs just a little less +RCH to obtain this chain.
MA one might want to try replacing CS/CK with AS, but no, SK won't recharge fast enough. Best to replace SK with AS. And I'm not 100% convinced that's the best chain for it now with the new Stalker IO Set as a consideration. EC after an AS for a better chance to crit just sounds nice.
I think MA can pull ahead of NB in ST DPS, if it was able to slot the -Resist Proc or at least tie it. But even if it beats NB in ST DPS, it doesn't seem to be by as much. So, people will likely go NB for the added AOE, even if that added AOE is just GD.
Over all, I think the DPS favors the Stalkers (at least it seems easier to obtain with versus the other Melee ATs) when used in such sets as WP, SR...basically no set with a damage aura or some sort of additional damage obtainable in their secondary (AAO or FE).
No idea on Claws or DB versus Scrappers/Brutes. And Kin Melee I don't know for sure either. Basically the sets that don't have the +DMG attacks in them for Stalkers.
I think things will be interesting if Synapse comes through and normalizes Placate down to 1 second activation. -
Energy Asssault on dom.
I am the only one I know of.
Its a wonderful set, I just don't get why people avoid it. -
Quote:Oh I know the dps is there. Its just what is the point if you don't use the combos?Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
I love Dual Blades and BS with the changes.
So. much. burst.
I am brainstorming some attack chains for both. But yes attack vitals is pretty much to be ignored with the new in combat assassin strike. Sweep is pure win for dual blades that now it can be used in combat! What joy!

Quote:The beaty of traps on defenders is just exactly how tough and resillient you can become.Originally Posted by JayboH
Controllers. I have never liked them, and still can't stand them. I think the highest I got one is in the low 40s. I love doms though.
Empathy - my first 50 was emp/rad and I can't imagine doing another one.
Traps for defenders - just doesn't make sense to me. I am thinking about deleting one I have in the 40s. Every time I play him, I feel weak compared to other sets. Traps is great for masterminds and decent for corruptors, but as a defender I just don't feel that Traps is very good compared to the OMGWOW of other defender sets. Defenders are probably my favorite archetype.
Unlike Corrs and MMs, you can have a Traps defender with ANY epic pool choice while still having:
45% soft cap to everything under the sun or 59% incarnate softcap to ranged with near 45% softcap to Melee/Aoe.
Permahasten on top of the above.
Massive deep debuff numbers from seekers, Caltrops and Acid Mortor.
Al the while not too far behind (and depending on epic taken possibly surpassing) a corrutor in damage when solo. -
Dark Miasma-- I used to have 7 of these. Its a wonderful set I just played it too much.
Single target Melee and Ranged sets-- Dark Melee, Energy melee, Beam Rifle, Sonic Blast. Just not fun anymore. -
Quote:Wow, consider my Dual Blades Stalker on hiatus at this point. gunna wait for Staff melee.Originally Posted by ricohdah
That's pretty crazy, I didn't know Ablating Strike work that way. Add PBAoE 33% chance to do moderate NE damage to my previous post. Does Vengeful Slice act the same way since it's the finisher for the Attack Vitals combo?
2 of the worst? Attack Vitals on stalkers takes the 3 worst DPS attacks in the set.
Nimble Slash - 43.25
Power Slice - 43.67
Ablating Strike - 67.97
Assassin's Blade - ?
Vengeful Slice - 37.99
Sweeping Strike - 71.63
1000 Cuts - 41.84
One Thousand Cuts isn't the greatest but at least it can hit multiple targets. I am sure unhidden Assassin's Blade is the best DPS but I do not have the numbers for it. Superior damage in about 1.452s (Guesstimate). -

I don't know about HoB, but I have the proc in Bullet Rain, and it works with all ammo types. The same applies to Empty Clips with Achilles' Heel.
I am really anal about my respecs so I appreciate the foreknowledge. -
Does the proc only work when you are using the correct ammo type?
Lethal only, and in all cases on Hail of Bullets? -
Quote:About freaking time I say.Originally Posted by Sailboat
No, Active Defense will still provide decent DDR. Shields as a whole will still be among the best sets for DDR.
What it won't have is the same DDR as Super Reflexes but be better in almost every other way on top of that.
Should they? Maybe they should take a look at how IOs affect mindlink while they are at it.Quote:Originally Posted by Codewalker
Which is a little annoying since IOs do work there, and will continue to. -

side note:
If the next tier 9 vip "set" isn't a set at all but a collection of seemingly nonsensical costume options, that'd be pretty awesome too.
heck... You could make it a collection of all the little things players have whined about over the years and call it "player request pack 1" and it'd be a sure fire sale for dang near every one of the forum whiners.
Please. -

Quote:Dominator PBAOES were normalized to 15 foot during their AT pass.Originally Posted by Dark_Impact
The kicker for me is that the dominator version of whirling hands is also 15'. Ah crap, now they're gonna nerf my dominator.
You should not expect Melee PBAOEs to get the same treatment.
Infact I to this day wonder why Footstomp maintains its 15 foot radius.
