    I get what you're saying, to some people Prestige is like collecting Badges....its a personal achievement that in others eyes is just a novelty.

    I'm curious if the cost is cheaper to reanimate,as opposed to all the funeral process costs.

    I agree that a new sub-section under Archetypes and Powers would be a great place for an Incarnate area.

    I need some input on this build, as I feel like it can be better. Am I trying to do too much with making up for -speed, -recharge, +regen, and soft cap?

    I'm sure this is an old question, but what does one do about this lag, while doing raids or the new trials? I drop down to less than 1 fps easy, even if I lower my in game settings.

    Yea, with having Quick Recovery and Stamina, plus the bit of end discount for Claws, the Energy pool is a bit of a waste imo. You could also go with Cardiac for the Alpha, as it will shore up any bit of endurance issues, and give you some more resistance. Then again, Nerve is nice for the accuracy and defense buffs.
  11. dougnukem
    I've got a Necro/Traps at 42 currently. I've had fun with him so far, as its a bit different combo, which I try to do every other character. I did have the Detonate combo going, but realized you have to time it right, as zombies are dumb and blow up almost instantly.

    Here is something I threw together while having my first cup of coffee. I say that because I'm sure it's not the best, but it gives you a starting point of slotting. Its just shy of soft cap E/NE def, and 1 Luck away from soft capped S/L and F/C def, plus it has Veng for dead teammates.

    Don't worry, I keep placing hundreds of them for sale on the market to help the cause.

    Actually Tubby, I was comparing your build to my current build, and your's is a bit better. I was looking to update mine, as it is old and needs to be. I used the Concealment pool for LoTG mules, and have Taunt for fun, otherwise I can see the use of the Energy pool for better end management.

    For some reference, Focus is a 1.64 scale attack. A level 54 Praetorian AV should hit for 933.88 damage with that attack. But at +3, it hits for 1.33 times normal damage, or 1242. And then its damage capped, which means it'll hit us players for 4968. Oh, and it has 310 feet of range, so forget about kiting that. Even Invuln is going to feel that in the morning.

    Actually, that's a joke: I've seen smart granite tankers kite her, because at least Focus is a ranged attack for her, doing ranged damage (always lower than melee damage for critters). Be thankful Bobcat doesn't cheat with Focus like players do, and use the melee damage tables.

    Anyway, as I said I've seen smart Granite tankers kite her around with taunt, because it still pays to stay out of melee range. You don't want to let her land, say, Eviscerate on you. That will land for a net 1.7 * 949.07 * 4 * 1.33 = 8583.39 points of damage. And if you are soft-capped with 45% defense, she still has a 44.5% chance to hit you (19% * 1.3 * 1.5 * 1.2 for the base 64% tohit, the +3 level difference, the AV accuracy bonus, and the 1.2 intrinsic accuracy of her version of Eviscerate). 500 points of damage every eight seconds is bad enough. Even Invulns and Granite tankers are going to notice 860 points of damage come blasting through capped resistances.


    By the way, might as well go for the badge regardless. Her version of Follow Up damage caps her anyway, so unless you have tons of defense buffs and can make her consistently miss Follow Up, she'll effectively be vengeanced most of the time anyway.


    You know, now that I think about it, I believe if you put a player in the drivers seat with pissed off Bobcat, she could solo Hamidon. Not the LGTF Hamidon, I mean Hamidon. I guess Praetoria's version of Hamidon must be a whole lot stronger, or Cole could have ended the Hamidon Wars in one afternoon by just putting a bullet in Neuron's head.
    This brought a huge smile to my face, while drinking coffee this morning. It also gave me something to put in my signature. :P

    I love finding out how much of an @$$ beating an angry catgurl will dish out in this game.

    Def or Corr?

    POST-ACTION

    I'm with Silas on this one. I almost always prefer Corruptor over Defender. Even though my last one was a Traps/Ice Defender, and that was only because Blizzard is still Blaster level strength on Defenders, and I wanted my fun Trap powers sooner. :P
