Hey Union
After the first 2 days of doing the magisterium trial a few times ive decided i would like to see if theres any interest in doing this for "the really hard way badge".
The idea is pretty simple yet doing it is obviously a lot harder, im willing to lead this trial unless someone feels stronger about leading it themselves.
Of course though i would appreciate +3 players, some debuffers and plenty of damage.
I willl be organising this sunday evening at 6pm BST.
Anyone care to sign up please meet me in dark astoria, anyone have any views on this or questions feel free to ask.
Thank you for your interest.

My DA/TW Tank, Alistair Ywain, has usurped my other characters as my new main. When build right, it is fantastically fun to play. After getting my build polished and tight, I had Dechs look under the hood for some fine tuning. This combo has massacred my years of altitis.
great guys!! im gunna create builds for both wp and dark armour, i might go with willpower though for the regen but who knows, thanks for the help. -
Quote:my main tank is a invul/ss/fire tank, and with T4 hybrid now slotted his damage is unbelievable, i absolutely love him, he acts like a blaster with fire blast, and fire ball running every 5-6 seconds fire blast being 2 seconds, my foot stomp deals roughly 300+ damage before rage and i have reactive i9nterface T4 and musculature T4 and the damage is insane, its not always about a damage aura or any set really, its all down to you and what you find is best suited to your playing style, i was just lucky enough to select this as my first set and never left his side, but remember, tankers will never be damage doers like brutes or scrappers by design, but respectively can dish out alot and also take it, more so than a brute, hope you enjoy your tanker!Originally Posted by Forevermore
I was thinking of Inv/Fm. I really love it on my brute. Though I admit that when Dechs first put out his DA Sucks video, I almost rolled up a DA tank.
Maybe I will try Da/Fm. Thanks for the help all.

Hey guys,
as the title suggests im already set on making a titan weapons character, so i wondered, what set for a tanker is pretty sturdy and survivable in? im thinking elec armour for itrials, but i want an armour thats good for all content as ill be fighting everything from CoT to malta and so forth, i was gunna go brute and try regen but with all the clickiness i just dont think i couldve made a sufficient build with TW, willpower catches my eye alot but alot of the people i spoke to about it said willpower isnt as effective on a tanker as it is on a scrapper or brute.
so my next choice would be an invuln, however my main is an invuln/ss tanker and already got him to peak standard with purples and all T4 ipowers including hybrid.
i do love invuln mind and it would fit almost perfectly with TW however, i would like to try something new, i do nto want fire aura simply because i got 2 - 3 characters with this and im not interested in having it.
if someone can give me the pros and cons of the armor sets i described or even added their experiences to it id be very greatfull. -

They announce the AE system as a feature, certainly. The ability to custom-tailor your own content. I understand that some people don't like what others have done with the system, and you have the right to that opinion. If you don't enjoy that content, don't play it. I don't particularly enjoy low level content and this is the approach that I take.
I haven't intentionally ignored anyone. I also haven't personally insulted anyone. Some of their ideas? Sure. Absolutely. Personal insults? Nope. Disagreeing with someone's ideas is not the same as a personal attack. Once again, if anyone has been subjected to personal attacks here, it's been me.
I've apologized to a few different people, when I was wrong about something. People are welcome hate me, I would never presume to tell anyone else what they should or shouldn't think of me. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it either, so *shrug.*
Being rude is subjective. Insulting someone is not the same as being rude. I haven't been cruel and I haven't insulted anyone.
Expensive builds are expensive for a reason. If I could get the same results for less infamy, I obviously wouldn't have spent so much.
the thing about AE is yes you can create your own content, and while we may not agree personally about this subject, i respect your opinion and i understand i will never change it because that is not my intention, my intention is to clarify that a system created in game for the sole purpose of creating content that the developers themselves created under copyright and you claim that you can use this content for your own personal gain which is known game-wide that blatantly it is a broken part of the game and this "feature" is not in any way endorsed or promoted, even developers tried to nerf AE because of this measure, its actually looked down upon, i can say what type of community do, roleplayers, people who play the game properly how its meant to, i like to read about peoples threads about their feats, just dont tie it into farming, if you want to keep doing it, instead of throwing up a big sign to the devs saying " hey i farm, nerf me!" which alot of people seem to be doing as of late, dominators are overpowered, or drain psyche is overpowered, nerf it nerf it! stuff that! the more they nerf the worse we are off.
instead show your feats and welcome the praise, making the community look smaller than you and ridiculing or belittling them is no way to keep anyone on your side, why love to have enemies? its beyond me, i prefer to have friends, you'll get further in life doing so.
its nice to be big headed once in a while, but being two headed is worse. -

Simply put, plainguy? You're free to log on Virtue and drop my global a message. I'll gladly do any Emoted Dance you'd like with the Scrapper, or the Dominator. Or any of my Masterminds. Or my Stalker? Take your pick.
Admittedly, the Dominator is /not/ Accoladed. I never found the need to do them. Nor did I claim she was Accoladed. Yeah, they help in performance but /shrug. The other toons have the accolades by merit of needing them for a bench mark. The dominator never had that bench mark to be met.
The only other aside with the Dominator is not having her Gladiator +3% slotted right now (It's in one of my other projects right now), so I'd have to eat an Unslotter to fill that void back in. Otherwise, tl;dr let me know when you want to see the toons.
And, no. Doing the 'farm races' is against my stance. I do not farm to race. I farm friends for prestige and nothing more. And, let's face it; Dechs and I are not friends, so it was not falling in my criteria.
But, again, log on Virtue, hit my global up, I'll log on... the Scrapper. Most expensive build by far and is the proclaimed 'project' with one of my Glad +3%'s. Stalker too. Masterminds are still slotted decently although the AI glitching is making me consider full-stripping...
Eh, pick your poison. You probably want to see the Dom, though? Not sure why, I already showed you she existed? But you probably want to go over every single set bonus or blah blah blah.
Zzz.
Again, Virtue. Let me know. Put up or shut up yourself, plainguy. I'm already done with my nightly Prestige Farming, so by all means.
Edit: Eh, I did it for you. Here's the Scrapper at least. If you DEMAND the Dominator, I'll have to re-slot the Gladiator I have on another pet-project to make me feel 'shiny' on her again.
Not like she freaking needs it.
And her build, because eh. I like it well enough.

hey reppu any chance you could post the builds data chunk by any chance? i would like to see this build, by looks of things it looks amazing. -

This is really not something that there's a definite and absolute response to, it's going to come down to personal opinion. That being said, my opinion is that there is nothing exploitative about AE Farming. The dev's gave us a tool that can be used to create our own content. I don't understand how it could be considered exploitative to use that tool to our best advantage. Why wouldn't we? It's not like the AE is a hack. It's a perfectly legitimate part of the game.
To answer your question though, farming speed is a good way to measure AOE damage. It stands to reason that the faster you're able to kill large groups of enemies, the better AOE damage your build does. That's why I use it as a benchmark.
While I'm sure it would exemp fine, that is not something that interests me in this game. I don't play to level 50 to go backwards, and I don't particularly enjoy much of the low level content anyways. If I ever feel the need to play through some lower content like I did a couple of times when i21 came out, I'll either make a new character for that purpose or log on something in that level range I haven't played in a while. Once again this is just a personal thing.
Sure, that would be an option. It wouldn't be nearly as amusing to me though. I like it when people get this worked up over things that I say and do.
I never insulted anyone in this thread. I might have disagreed with some people's ideas, but if anyone has been blatantly insulted here, it's been me. I've created my own little angry mob again, but I didn't break any rules.
I forgot this part:
For me, competing is fun. I like to be one-upped. I like to one-up other people. It's what keeps the game exciting for me. I do all my roleplaying strictly on the forums. When I play the game, what I'm usually doing is working on a project. I like to push the limits of what I can do with my characters. I've reshaped the opinions of more people than I can count on exactly how powerful a Blaster can be. Same with my Warshade, my other best accomplishment in this game. To me, that's what's fun.
It's also fun to post some blatant over-the-top braggy comments and see how worked up and spiteful people get about it. The best part is that I can actually back up my claims. I really like it when people start shooting venom at me for being so arrogant and overconfident, and seeing how well it contrasts when they have to admit that they can't actually compete with me. Admittedly it's just as entertaining when I get proven wrong, which also happened in this thread.
The difference between myself and others is that, while I play my character pretty well, I rarely stoop to personal insults, because I don't take it as seriously or get as worked up as other people do. The other difference is that when I'm proven wrong about something, I'm not above apologizing.
working backwards is something people periodically do on a daily basis, and teaming with all levels hence why this system was designed and remade for.
ill say it again, farming is exploited, the devs dont announce it as a benchmark to their game do they? have they ever? to call something exploited a "tool" well thats just arrogant, but im not saying you are, im simply saying that that is your opinion and this is mine.
the rule you did break was one thta not only have you actually insulted people which can be quoted here or there, yuo've gone on to ignore other people and symbolize yourself as a beacon of pure greatness, which is almost like the beatles did to jesus? and look who won that game hm ?
the best ending for this situation is to really apologise or just break even, its nice to get "haters" every now and then, but you dont justify why, and i dont mean the way you say that because you did this they hate you for it, but why live with the hate? its not something i would actually choose in this situation, rising above the hate is much different than rubbing your work in peoples faces and saying "hey beat that kid!".
Like i said before im not hating, i just find it a bit dissapointing that someone who prefers to be blatantly rude and obnoxious of their exploits or accomplishments would go on to say they never insulted nor in anyway can justify such minuscule attempts bigging themselves over everyone.
What would be good help to the community is creating an affordable build to accomplish all this without incarnate abilities, thats something to rave about.
just my two cents. -
Hey THB i just wanna say congratulations on your feats and accomplishments, that is a very nice build, and i might invest into it, but before i do, i will go on to say that as much as i dont know you as a person i do honestly enjoy looking at your posts and i have in the past looked to you for help, and you have helped btw so thank you on that too, so here i am showing you the respect that i do with everyone i meet , because i love this game, its people and the amazing things people do with a little know how, but anyways, to the point as much as a nice guy i think sometimes you come across, i think this thread, respectfully, has a few flawed points.
1: you compare farming to a game built solely on just gaming, farming isnt an added feature, its actually an exploited activity run by others, which i have no argument against whatsoever, but again its purely different from the ingame activities you take part in i.e positron task force?
2: the build you posted seems like a finished build, only workable at 50, can it perform still under 50? cos that be impressive too, also that with incarnate abilities off?
3: as much as i love people showing off their claims of greatness, couldnt this be a bit more subtle? i.e maybe saying "hey i did this on this and so on" rather than attempting to charge inexplicable amounts of influence to tailor to your needs?
albeit as i said you have a pretty neat build there and i have respect for you as i do with any player here who is either garnered popularity or notoriety, but subjecting the community to insults and if im not mistaken it is illegal to create an ingame profitable charity as explained, no doubt posting on the forums is a bit of silly idea.
this is in no way a hate comment, just speculation as to why the community seem to disagree with you, so please, no fruitful comments against me or any insults please as i have spoken to you respectfully.
Comparing a dominator to a blaster? two completely separate ATs not to mention that you say your blaster is the best or however you say that, i will go on to say that no build in this game that ever has or will exist is the best, period.
Because, and heres the big part, it doesnt exist, nor will it, for something people undeniably conceive as the best is at best a wishful thinking pipe dream to an ever soul consuming vortex that keeps our ideas and imaginations pumping with creativity and nourishment, altitus? we all have it, from one character to the next, constantly going over flowing minds trapped into a mother mayhem pseudo thought provoking whirlwind of constant information.
Basically my head gets chewed up in the thought of ever trying to make a character that i'll stay on and call the best.
No build exists in this way because the system allows you to control various AT sets that are proportioned so that you can do all this on them, and further more, its not how well you build your character, how fast you get to 50, or how good you chomp down AVs with your drain psyche, it all comes down to one thing, how much fun you had doing it, and if you had fun doing all these accomplishments then good for you, why have the public give you the acceptance when you can go do this a thousand times over?
to me its about the game, no farming, which to me breaks the enjoyment and possibilities of the game, but just pure fun, enjoying seeing my characters save a bank, like the comic books, and saving the girl he wants, thats fun.
so like i said i hope this thread does not come across rude or think that im jealous im not, im happy for your accomplishments, im just explaining the void as to why you are getting so much negativity on this thread, but good luck on future endeavours and your market, but i wont be buying

I realize you get more feedback if you post a build first but, as I've stated, I'm not a MIDS jockey so please be gentle.
My goals are/were:
-Pre-Incarnate PVE Ranged DEF softcap via a small purple inspiration
-PermaDom (I _THINK_ I'm there with this build....MIDS says recharge of 75sec, Duration of 90sec...did I make it?)
-PermaHasten (no idea how to calculate this but Mids says I'm recharge of 122sec vs Duration of 120 so looks like I'm a bit off)
I could swap in another LOTG +RCHGE into Vengeance to get Hasten recharge down to 119 secs, but I sort of like having the Kismet +ToHit in there as I hate missing. But that's a minor change if deemed necessary.
This is my current planned build. Its only at around 35% Ranged defense with Nerve T4 Alpha...little less without that. I used a couple of purple sets, but they are the cheap(er) ones. It appears that the Enh Converters have raised even the prices of the cheaper sets. I do have Veng in there so obviously if someone on the team keels over (yay blasters!) I blow past the Def softcap for Ranged, Energy and NE. That will be helpful on iTrials and situational in PVE content but that's not the plan to softcap my defenses. I could also go Agility T4 and basically swap out the +ENDMOD/+RCHGE from that for the +ACC/+HOLD from Nerve; but I don't think either of those makes/breaks the build.
I've got all my attacks 5-slotted, most of them carrying +RCHGE set bonuses. I really wanted to slot up Maneuvers or even work Weave into the build but couldn't as most of the Dark powers really need 6 slots to get the set bonuses I was striving to attain.
Any critique is welcomed. I'm hoping with all the -TOHIT I'm throwing out there, I can make up for the gap to the ranged softcap. I don't mind eating a purple to get there but I hate having to do that constantly.

without looking at the build i will give one piece of advice, if theres anything i have learnt on this game, its to not waste my time building too much defense on any type of character, see defense and mitigation work hand in hand, the reason plant does so well as not only do you hold the group carrion creepers and vines, but confusion spores just nails it and not to mention the only thing that needs attention would be bosses which can be killed before the group has any chance of waking up, the trick with each set is to find that mitigation and feed on that, dark is definitely a very different set, each with its own perks and downfalls, learn each power as you use it and plan out your attack before you just dive in and get killed, you learn more by not defense, but mitigation, dominators rely mostly on that since its system is domination , and then the rest will falll into place, if you can get 33% postional or typed defense, yuor laughing, no more defense is needed, it be overkilll, if things go south pop a purple and go nuts with holds, you get more pets with dark iirc so your mitigation should be through them and your holds, its a two way street with domination and as someone previously mentioned to you, you get a ton of it, its one of the most ewnjoyable sets in my opinion, hope this advice is helpful to you and goodluck on your build, i can post a pretty decent build up for you soon just to see if its your fancy.

there is a better way to achieve this without sacrificing regens tier 9 godmode without a crash by the way, best power of the set imho.
ill post up an alternative build to show you what i would do, i went with regen but on a scrapper with kinetic melee. -
Although most of this discussion has included numbers to backup the claims that some or most powersets or powers need substantial amount of work, it is an actual fact that these sets are not unbalanced or underperformed but lack of "gimmicks" which seems to be COHs craze as of late, since a few issues ago newer powersets have got a gimmick to make it stand out from the rest, hence why these old sets are being outdated and unused, energy melee will always be the ST damage king, but instead of "fixing" the set, they should ultimately add a gimmick, maybe even given the stun magnitude a notch better, of course even by todays standards these sets perform pretty good still and will probably never need a touch of paint, but i'll go one further and say that no matter how we may complain it may never ever be sorted, as they are probably the way they are as intended.
If they ever did touch up the sets, i would love to see energy melee get some kind of energy absorption damage power like the more damage you dish out the better your accuracy and defense get, i dont know thats just an idea in my head.
They said that they are so backdated up to a year full of content that you are looking at a more of a 85% more proliferation sets than any one set being redone or worked on. -

Thats a good question and you noticed the only part of build that is not a "Must have" i choosed the winter's gift because i like the 20% resist slow debuff. But you can slot 1 endu red and use these 2 free slot for whatever you want.
About vengeance it has its use in team incarnates trials and allow to equip without no more slots a Gambler 7.5%.
Zone mezz and zone confusions both has a reload time of about 45sec with all time reduction bonuses like the zone debuff. No need of zone sleeps that works fine if you dont use any zone damages powers and in my build there is the fire zone attack epik and the fire judgement attack.
Cycle on mobs: Zone Immo(or zone confusion that last longer)+debuff zone+fire attack zone (fast recharge time so can be repeatedly done) and some single target fire attacks + judgement then left alive targets can be single target mezz or confuse and killed also. Then next group=> same work. Domination back each 45sec also so full stamina always !
the build im working too at the moment, im level 50, and my build is half done getting those enhancements is not easy, but he is quickly becoming a monster, foes drop when i rush in with total confusion, fire ball, rain of fire, and pick off the rest, next mob, total domination, fire ball, rain of fire, rinse and repeat, because i have constant mitigation and a nice defense its a no brainer, i like how you've thought of the build and kudos to you for coming up with it, but in all honesty, its not how much you spend on enhancement, but how much time you spend on the build and work out how you are going to play, ive played him 1 to 50, mapping out his build and learning his playstyle, i assure you, my build is definitly not the best, but it is optimal to a performance standard and is very fun to play, and i fight +3 mobs btw. -
heres my build, better defenses, still good dps, one luck away from softcap , low end aswell, pretty well slotted, fortunata enhancers are pretty cheap these days, coercive persuasion is not too bad in ww, and the only really expensive enhancement is gladiators armour, which can easily be saved up and bought if you farm,overall this is what im achieving to.

before yuo proceed with your interpretation of ultimate, heres a breakdown of the mistakes you made as constructive criticism,
no.1: you took vengeance, well thats all good and useful but how does this work when "soloing" as yuo say it can, not a useful "soloing" tool for a domi if playing solo since it has no use.
no2: you did not go into detail no how "ultimate" this build really is, i.e say what its strengths and weaknesses are, remember not 1 build out there is perfect.
no3: you use alot of purple enhancements but can actually get a much better domi with normal io's.
no4: you didnt take mass hypnosis, one of the most useful powers in the set, if you want mitigation then thats one of the tools for the job.
no5: its only when an incarnate you are able to benefit endurance at a better rate, since you left the toggles on incarnate powers i seen why the end was so low.
again not picking on this build but it does need alot of work to be "ultimate" which in my experiance is no such thing.
i will post my build up and show you what i have made for my mind/fire domi. -

The more we talk about this, the more I think a stone melee/energy aura brute would be crazy fun. Tons of mitigation in the primary and secondary, unlimited endurance and plenty of recharge. No redraw.
sounds crazy enough, i might roll one infact lol god jay your a bad influence my altitus was nearly cured till you came along haha. -

To the OP:
Ok, in short, what kind of layers of mitigation do you want??
EA is a defense set with mild resists...but it only has mild DDR too...especially for defensive sets. Are you planning to tank? Are you going to be an all out assault machine? What is your goal?
WP is a moderate resist set with mild defense...
Resist sets typically have better maximum potential than defensive sets for high end builds. Why? Because defensive sets can only get so much defense that matters, beyond that more is just...more...it serves no purpose. Resist sets can easily get defense from set bonuses and better layer their mitigation...so that even if your defense is debuffed to the floor...if you have 70% S/L resists you still mitigate 70% of that type of incoming damage (not that WP has those numbers specifically just an example...). That layered mitigation means your odds of survival are outright better than if you had just one or the other. Ask any guy who plays SR...the best defense set in the game...how it does with alpha strikes. They'll tell you that it needs resists or you get faceplanted into a quick dirt nap. I know...they can do amazing things...just don't get hit...or Regen...one of my favorites...you have to build up the defense and resists for that set to maximize it's survivability...but it's insane when built well and played right.
In short, it's easy to add defense...it's very difficult to add resists. What do you want to play? More sturdy? Less sturdy? More flexible build? Less flexible build? Those things dictate your answer for you essentially. EA and WP may not even be the set you want...you might end up with Dark Armor or who knows what.
thats pretty descriptive and in detail, so i would say im looking for a sturdy type, but one that can dish out good damage, can withstand alot but not everything of course, and one that has good resists, tbh i think electric armour sounds best to me right now. -

Haha... how do you like it so far? You can get some impressive numbers with that combo.
yeah jay really good combo, got him to level 20 in a few hours just doing the sewers for a bit, gonna slot him some enhancers when i get the chance n try him out in the field properly, so far so good tho. -

One thing to keep in mind for EA vs WP is whether you plan on tanking for group, such as in an iTrial - if so, keep in mind that EA's defense WILL fail periodically - even if you have 59% defense (my final EA build with purple brute ATOs gets around 53% S/L, with a single luck/darkest night covering the rest), they still have considerable accuracy. As such, be ready for incoming damage because you can get effectively one shotted (ACU damage patch + Anti-Matter's Irradiate = SPAMHEALSPAMHEALSPAMHEAL - PHEW).
WP has a small amount of DDR - Heightened Senses gives you ~17% DDR, or one third what EA gets. WP is also much easier to ''Godmode" than EA - Eye of the Magus/Demonic can bring your Smashing/Lethal resistance to 70-80% (depending on Alpha and AT) and a single sonic, thermal or even kinetics (if facing smashing/energy) can take you from survivable to "Did s/he just tank 3 mobs at once?"
EA is a LOT more work to make it a gamebreaker, but as long as you have an IO plan in mind, you can make it work.
PS: Don't try tanking Siege with EA - those Turrets go ''loldefense''.
yeah i like energy aura, not sure lol. -
Definitely bio armour once it eventually comes out, however the name just throws me off since i imagine/assume its going to be something similar to prototype sort of thing?
Water blast, hell yeah sounds like a good idea tbh to pair with fire, or ice, anything!
definitely a plant/NA troller, imagine the regen on that beast!
anyways something to definitely look forward to. -
Quote:i have, although i already have astaff character currently being made and tested, im not a huge fan of the set per se, its still a fun loud set animations and moves are perfect, im going with kinetic melee since its so thematically fitting, but thanks for the ideaOriginally Posted by slythetic
You might want to consider the mesh between your primary and secondary too. For example something like staff with the all the knockdown/resist/def etc really makes willpower shine even more.

Quote:i agree wholeheartedly since i dont farm i just play the game as is andexperiece the fun unwrap, so i have taken into account everything thats been said, just a hard choice to make lol.Originally Posted by Shadey_NA
Mauk2 was giving an example without complete numbers as examples, such as with very little slotting the regen on EA it for can go for over 40 HP/Sec when needed. It also gets a heal added to it,... and on and on.
The final answer is not necessarlily what you start off with from a set, but what you do with it while "growing" your char. With Power choices, Incarnates, IOs, slotting, Power Pools and epics you can dramatically change what your char is and what he can do.
That's a huge part of the fun of this game for me. -

Keep in mind that energize in EA gives you regen as well, 100% base which can be enhanced up to 200%, so if you can get it up 100% of the time (not impossible, just need to cap recharge in the power and get about 100% global) you will have a nice chunk of regen to compliment your softcapped def and minor - medium resists, so WP is not a clear winner. EA also gets some def debuff resistance (although not a lot), where mobs like cimerorans tear through WP's def since it doesn't get any.
So neither set is a clear winner. WP is a more rounded set that is fairly easy run over the 1-50 trip but will be a bit harder to make into a 'high end' build since it takes some serous effort to softcap (plus a lot of end game stuff eats through def). EA is one of the easiest def sets to sofcap despite being typed def but it has two huge gaping holes - no psionic and toxic def and since EA is typed def you are basically open to psionic and toxic attacks. However you can also get a lot of extra energy def - easily up to the incarnate softcap (59%), which will balance out things in the current set of trials since a lot of the damage is energy.
For sets, I would choose based on set style. EA is going to be a semi-stealthy defense set with a built in heal, wp is going to be your generic 'tough guy' set. For AT it depends on what you want - if you want to be a damage dealer, scrappers or brutes are your best choice. Go with a scrapper if you want constant damage with the occasional high crit, go with a brute if you want slightly higher survivability (more HP) and don't mind fluctuating damage levels as you get/lose fury. If you want to be able to off tank a brute is probably your best choice. Both WP and EA will work fine on either a scrapper or a brute although brute EA has a better taunt aura than the scrapper version, both AT's get the same taunt aura in WP.
yeah spunds about right to be honest, i can get energize perma so its not a problem, im using EA mostly on a stalker, since i havnt made a stalker yet and some ppl i spoke to about stalkers rave about EA being so good on it, for my main character tho, i will go willpower, well i want too, but if energy aura seems a better choice i will go that instead, since both fit thematically to my concept. -

Well, and succinctly stated.
Waaaaay back in the early days there was much discussion made over the 'immortality line', which was the damage stream which could be tolerated forever. I always liked the immortality line metric because it simply combines defense, resist, and healing into a single stat.
Of course, even that doesn't take into account buff/debuff/maneuver/status/time-to-defeat/etc effects, so it's not perfect.
An example:
EA broot has 45 defense, 0 resist, for 90 percent mitigation. Heals 25 hp/sec. Thus, that toon can tolerate 250 points of incoming damage per second forever: At that amount of damage or below, they are immortal.
Wp broot has 40 defense, 33.3 resist, for 86.66 mitigation. Heals 50 hp/sec. Thus, that toon can tolerate 374 hp/sec forever. At that damage or below, they are immortal.
The nesting/stacking behavior of mitigation is more complex and more subtle than it seems, and is subject to fairly large swings with small changes near the inflection points.
wow thats a big piece of info there, i didnt really know this, so im better off for willpower than energy aura if i made my main willpower? as im not sure whether to go brute, tank or scrapper. -
see this is the issue i have, now i made a stalker, with energy aura and kinetic melee, thanks to jay :P
anyway, as a stalker with energy aura , i got all my defenses higher than softcap on everything par psi, s/l resis is 36.5% and energy is 20%, so with perma energize aswell would my survivability be substantially more better than willpowers or same? i dont want to tank anything, just be survivable in itrials and incarnate content, a better comparison would be energy aura vs electric armour, since are similar in sets and powers considering res vs def, sorry to be so technical, im just taking in numbers for a main im gunna work on, and i want him to be acceptable in most game content. -
Hey guys, quick question, but i was looking at the numbers for energy aura, and willpower, and clearly willpower has more resistance and decent defence, but energy aura has amazing defense and not too bad resistance, so my question is, if i made an energy aura character above softcap, would it be just as sufficient as a willpower character? taking into consideration the low resistance on energy aura, what im gettin at is that does it matter to have a high resistance and a high defense or one of the other? hope ive made some sense with this :/
thanks in advance.
Sypher.
