I think this is the option that best reflects how I make characters? I usually start with a build I want to try, then I come up with a character concept that fits the build, and then I make a costume and come up with a name. But for me my character's mechanical strength is kind of divorced from theme. Like, when the SB…
Of the powers there, I would probably switch out Ascension if I wanted to add a second aura. Another option would be to replace Life Essence & Wisp w/ an AoE like Arcane Vitality that doesn't need an additional debuff power, but that limits your AoE healing capabilities somewhat.
Suggestion: Have Spellcast also unlock a version of the emote that loops the first half of it (similar to how your character looks when using a mysticism crafting table).
TA is probably my favorite thing to run. The fights are still fun for me, and it's about the only mission designed for a team that's actually team content and not a solo faceroll.
After its having been up for a few weeks, the 35 cap seems better to me than 50, and I kind of hope it becomes a permanent feature. The hits-not-registering bug has gone from a constant problem to an occasional annoyance, there's more GCR per rotation due to additional zone pops, and the lower player numbers help the…
I would say the core of a power armor build goes like this: -One hand slot power: Concussor Beam R3 or Dual Wrist Rocket Barrage R3 -One chest slot power: Chest Laser R3 or Micro-Munitions R2 w/ Alpha Strike adv -One shoulder slot debuff applier: Eye Beam R2 w/ 20/20 Fission adv or Mini-Gun R2 w/ U-238 Rounds adv -Shoulder…
Knock powers work fine in group content, as long as you're aware and use them correctly. Most bosses are knock-immune, so it's a non issue on those fights. On regular mobs, you can use knock-up or knock-down powers to build knock resist stacks to make them immune, too. And, ofc, if your hit is going to defeat them anyway,…
Looks okay to me. W/ AoPM you should prly be able to drop Overdrive, and I'd switch Int to Rec. Aurora or Fiery Embrace would be a better self-rez on a healer, since they don't prevent you from rezzing others. I'd also drop R2 on Redemption for R3 on your block. Adding in a tap mez would let you take advantage of some nice…
I think the main reason to take Selfless Ally is to help fuel Iniquity, but it does give you some minor maintenance healing and combos well with the Reverence adv on Conviction. Repurpose is very good if you have Justice gear. I would say that Sentinel Aura is worth it on its own as a minor maintenance heal for the team,…
I have a Best Buy code that I haven't been able to activate. I've been talking to CS about it for about the last month, haven't gotten past form "try again later" responses yet.
This is my cosmic healer's current build, and he's an all-magic guy thematically. The powers aren't in any particular order. The build does have Bionic Shielding, which comes from a tech set, but it's a very powerful heal and can easily be explained away as another spell. Rhuhmed Zuhri (Build 1.4) - Freeform v2.3.2-28…
Psionic Accelerator is also good on a dps for alerts and QWZ soloing, esp if you have a passive that buffs Ego damage. It's a decent aoe on its own, and five targets held will drastically reduce your incoming damage while you destroy one or two of them.
It's from a somewhat old lockbox, but one that people still open. It's also in the collector's store, so your options for getting one would be to gamble on the Arcane or Collector's lockboxes, or to buy the travel power unlock, travel power device, or Gold Foil Special Item Voucher from another player.
There's "Ancient Taco" for throwing one at Vikorin. "Taco King/Queen" is meant to be rewarded for throwing one at the Bronze King, but is also given by Vikorin. "Taco Destroyer" is from throwing one at one of the Mega-Ds in the DRA OM. "Taco Taco Taco" is awarded for throwing 100 tacos at people, and there are two perks…
Hybrid auras are kind of gross, imo, so here's a way you could tweak it to run in dps role: VEX dps - Freeform v2.3.2-26 Super Stats Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Recovery (Secondary) Level 15: Constitution (Secondary) Talents Level 1: The Scourge (Con: 10, Ego: 10, Rec: 10, End: 8) Level 6: Ascetic (Con: 5, Ego: 5)…
Hex of Suffering is a good power to apply Fear for Bullet Hail. You could throw in Eldritch Shield and maybe Poz or the Ebon Circle to make a gun mage.
I'm pretty new to cosmic tanking, but this is the build I've been using and it's working well so far. Powers aren't in any particular order. Princess Smash - Freeform v2.3.2-25 Super Stats Level 6: Strength (Primary) Level 10: Constitution (Secondary) Level 15: Endurance (Secondary) Talents Level 1: The Rockstar (Str: 10,…
Kamo can probably give you a more complete answer than I can, but for me Int/Dex/Con has been a good stat combo for Int primary DPS. The Dex 2SS will offset the lack of crit boost from PSS spec somewhat. I think the big reason to do Int primary over one of the regular DPS stats is to take advantage of the defense…
I don't see a way of reliably keeping an enchantment on yourself in this version, so you might consider switching Concentration for Spellcaster to get the full damage boost to Soul Beam.
The way that I would have liked to have seen this implemented would be for the overall pricing on JG to remain the same but the tokens be purchasable for GCR. That leaves a non-epic progression path for players that don't enjoy that content, and it lets the players that do earn the "good" primary gear with TA and cosmics.
