    Apologies if this has been stated before, but what is the best DPS chain for Dual Pistols? What kind of Recharge would said attack chain require?
  2. bAss_ackwards
    Turtle. Yeah.

    It's that layered damage mitigation that makes the combination really shine, and if you do spend enough Inf on the build you won't even have to give up on DPS. I know my DM/Inv can break 200DPS which is not exactly top tier, but wicked good for the amount of utility DM is providing.

    If that's the case, one of my characters (after getting the Notices) would be ready to craft 3 Very Rares right away.

    If you've got the Inf to softcap your S/L/F/C/E/N Defenses you usually get around 25% for Melee/Ranged/AoE Defense. Certainly helps and with the non-positional Psi damage out there, you always have Dull Pain to put you at the HP cap; Siphon Life to constantly top off your HP if you have Dark Melee too. I have the Accolade power Elusive Mind as well and make use of it on the Psi AV battles. Very helpful!

    Dunno! Ask em'.

    So I switched to the new X-Ray Beam animation.

    I love it!

    Isn't the one you just quoted a build with Fireball?

    It's too bad that Hasten isn't fully saturated with Recharge. I'd suggest going with the Recharge/Heal to get that Hasten and Dull Pain up sooner and to give a little boost to Regeneration.

    I've done plenty without travel powers.

    Having the patron pet is really not worth it. Unless we finally get access to Gloom, the blasts we get from APP/PPP aren't good enough to be using in a regular attack chain. Especially since with Broadsword you will get weapon redraw. It does look like from the IOs you've placed in your original build that you do care about performance, so that is why I've recommended not going with Soul Mastery.

    If you want to reduce cost for the build you can replace the Gladiators with Makos and the Panaceas with Doctored Wounds. I would suggest going for the Spiritual Recharge/Heal Alpha boost along with this build:

    Do you absolutely have to have Soul Mastery? I think for Invulnerability, if you're going to pump in this kind of Inf for the build it would be better to just have softcapped Defenses as a constant, rather than spike.

    The Smashing/Lethal Resist is low. It really should be at around 70%. That's one of the best things about the set - having that much Resist to a common damage type.

    I don't have much time right now on the computer, or I could make a build for you. Depending on your answer to the first question, that is.
