    That'll teach me to say things without testing them first.
    Yeah, it is sadly true. Respecified my Shield/Fire tank on beta and was still forced to take Aid Other before Aid Self.
  3. Corruptor or Defender.
    Time Manip. is a fast paced set, you're going to be shooting off a lot of buffs/debuffs. Suggest going Radiation/Time for the AoEs, or Fire/Time because well.. Fire/ makes everything better.

    Defender if you want to last longer, Corruptor if you want your blasts first.
  4. No you will not be able to take Aid Self before taking Aid Other.
    Only travel power pools may take the T3 without T1 or T2 power in issue 21.

    ***

    Your second build looks fine.
  5. Recharge time of the pet is affected by recharge reduction. Recharge time of the pet's attacks are not.
  6. Fire/Time is complete murder on the endurance bar, but ConservePower fixes that right up. PowerBoost lets me softcap easily - boosted Farsight is granting my corruptor 22% defense. 46% to S/L and the -to hit from TJ places me over 45% for other defenses (Only 2 - 6% away from the others)
    Time is easy mode. And I like it ;3

    I wonder how well that would do in dragon's tail, especially after one used Eagle's Claw...
    Sounds evil. Very evil. Now I'll have to look into leveling a new scrapper...
  8. October - November is practically the end of the year, if you had suggested those dates. >.>
    Although, August seems early...

    ***
    So the Scrapper IO is 20% of 5%? So.. the crit rate will be 6%? That doesn't seem like much of an improvement. I would much prefer a damage proc >.>

    Still liking the idea of these ATO sets. Doubt we'll see them until like.. i22 or something further.

    Double XP Tally!

    I did no leveling.
    I messed around on beta.
    And sunday, I logged on a messed around with the market - only made 500m but people weren't buying mah IOs.
  10. After playing the StJ/EA and then the Stone/Stone brute I have on live... I changed my mind. Both are endurance heavy in terms of attacking, /EA at least has an endurance heal. :-p

  11. Still feels minor to me. The defense portion only goes up to 10 targets, I am gaining about 1% defense per target hit. ::shrug::
    My recharge constantly flickers between 212% and 275%. I should have 212% after factoring in target-capped Entropic Aura.
    Energize does help, but I still need to hit ED while it is up. I still need to hit ED whenever it is up just to gain endurance.
    To me this combo does feel endurance heavy. To you it may not.

    Spring Attack - think Hulk leaping onto a tank and smashing it to itty-bitty pieces.

    StJ/EA is nice. Endurance heavy, but nice.
    Fits my character quite well - concept wise. Sad that there isn't a no fx version of the stealth power. >.>

    He means he uses it after the first finisher. Like if you were to go :
    Combo > Combo > Combo > Finisher > Build Up > Finisher 2

    I use the Build Up only when I am fighting x8 spawns. I use it to get off the Targetted AoE, my Fire Ball, then I focus on the bosses using the AoEs when they are up.

    Still minor.

    It is decent enough. You got your endurance reduction + heal, and your Drain for endurance recovery + (minor) defense.
    Liking the +recharge. With a build limited to my budget about 146% global recharge (I took out the +rech from the toggle because it isn't constant, and I made a mistake :3)
    Currently running SB-HB-RC-SB-CU for my chain.

    ***

    Going to make a second build and see how much DPS it can really push out when maxed out.
    Only getting about 190 DPS with StJ/EA.
    2 procs per attack using the SB>HB>RC>SB>CU chain.
    Using T4 spiritual, running Assault and a fully saturated Entropic Aura for more recharge.
    Having to stop attacking to refill yourself on endurance blows.
  16. Because they changed those to unlock at level 35

    Burnout

    The knock to your endurance is 25 points.
    On a character of 100 points of endurance, I went down to xx/75
    Pretty big hit there. ;-)
  18. I'm not rerolling.. more of re-using a costume with a better name.
    Lord Tsarian, my Ma/Reg scrapper, will continue to live. I will reuse his costume when I make a new character - and the last name of Tsarian. The name however will be changed to match with the costume. He will be reborn as Street Justice/Energy Aura or something else.

    I'll also be rolling a Fire/Time, with a saved name off a level 2 character.
    And I'll be rolling a Titan/?? brute when those come out. Trolls + big weapons ;-)

    Tiers?

    I have a silly question about tiers.
    I'll look at the power pool of Speed.

    Powers
    One: Flurry
    Two: Hasten
    Three: Super Speed
    Four: Whirlwind

    Most people are on the page of:
    Tier One = Flurry
    Tier Two = Hasten
    Tier Three = Super Speed
    Tier Four = Whirlwind

    Slightly confused as to this.
    Both Hasten and Flurry are available at level six. Would they not be the same tier; tier one?
    Super Speed; tier two?
    Whirlwind; tier three?

    Or am I just completely off my tree?
  20. Time Manipulation is awesomesauce.
    I went Fire/Time Corruptor and picked up Dark Mastery as my APP.
    Why dark mastery?
    Because if you don't have some form of self-endurance recovery you will be very sad.
    Even with Dark Consumption, if I use it too early I am in trouble.

    Its a very busy set though. But very fun :3

    ...
    A bit clickie for a weapon set, with all powers being click except for one, but I think few of the powers will be used often in regular content.
    Fire/Time works quite well on corruptor. You don't need many powers from Fire/ , and I felt like I needed ALL the powers from /Time.
    Really liking /Time just for the activity it brings. Definitely rolling a Fire/Time on live.
  22. Window shopping. Excellent.
    Also.. I get to look at teh pretty CoT YAY
  23. Your endurance rate is wrong. That is the endurance when MoG is on.
    I'm getting 3.71 without accolades, 4.08 with them on.
    And 5.95 with MoG + accolades :S
    ***
    Your build has given me hope for when brutes get /Regen . Imagine the regen rates on that
  24. @Casual Player ::noddnodd:: For some reason I remember a red-name saying that they dislike how the Carnies look. Wonder if they are next?

    I so nailed what was going to happen on post #352 in the "Circle of Warcraft" thread.
    I LOVE the samurai-robe spiky belts. And the collars. And the Death Mage. He is my favorite :3

    Oh.. and I love Lamp.
