If I go with Regen, the two spare power slots (from EM and BCR) will let me pick more utility powers. I was thinking about using both rebirth and redemption, as they fit the theme and rebirth should work well with regen. I may use the last slot for fire shield to add some defense while turtling up.
-
I had two other regen builds and they were both very resilient, but one was stacking dodge (EM+gear pre-nerf) and the other was melee with STR primary and Laser Knight. As much as I like the idea of using Regen on this toon, I'm unsure how well it would work without other big defensive buffs. But I'm probably…

EGO/con/end sounds pretty good. Dunno why I didn't think of it. I came up with another idea: a LR build. LR+EM should be quite a defensive wall, and with BCR, Conviction on a low cooldown and the Adrenaline Rush talent from the Con tree I suppose I could heal what little damage get through and keep blasting things at the…

True story. I also use them on a ranged damage build, along with Firesnake for the elemental debuff and Rimefire for setting up chill and a nice spike thrown in. It's a devastating combo. I suggest you drop ice burst, ice wall, frost breath etc. and focus on getting the most out of ice blast and Avalanche (and maybe…

So, from what I understand from this thread: - the offense damage bonus is on the same layer as critical multipliers, meaning the extra damage from offense will NOT be multiplied on a critical hit. This happens to all builds that crit. - in addition to that, critical severity rating is bugged so that builds with bonuses to…
-
I read that post IIRC, but I didn't fully grasp what being "on the same layer" meant. If the damage bonus from offense doesn't crit, I guess very high scores in severity are still worth it. Thanks for the input I tried that too, but the attacks don't always strike for the same exact amount. I kept track of the hardest…

After a month of little playtime, I got back to my toon and I'm still wondering which way to go. I've actually been considering EGO/INT/DEX. Just to be clear, EGO primary with DEX secondary IS the best possible damage for this build, right? Also, is there some sort of damage calculator around?
-
Bumping as well. If the changes to severity are working the way that was described in another thread (http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=253961. Sorry, don't know how to post it in a more elegant way), then it's a pretty significant change I found no mention of: the dodge/crit preview blog only mentions…
-
You mean, like a character with DEX primary critting around 200% base damage, even though the character sheet shows a critical severity of 110-120%? Wow. That's more depressing news for my Unleashed after the dodge nerf, but good news for my only FF toon who is currently INT primary with DEX secondary. Guess I'll go slash…

I only have 1 FF slot I farmed a while ago and I'm really enjoying it. I made an elemtentalist of sorts: a boss killer and part-time nuker with a magical theme. I love the powers I picked and they work awsomely together. Also, standing in a sorcery circle with flight just spells badass:cool: I've respecced him several…
-
After finding out that some of the utility powers I was going for weren't that useful, I tried Circle of Arcane Power and Avalanche. Kaboom. I like using both my AoEs according to the situation- scattered enemies, proc MSA and hurricane away; mobs on one side, circle and Avalanche. It may not be ideal from a min/max point…
-
Checked my Unleashed today, she's at 35% crit chance after the nerfs. Any idea what crit chance I would get out of EGO tree+r5 gems+heroic gloves? (I know, that's lots of questions :P)
-
I'm using INT to level as the extra energy really helps grinding those last few levels, and I've observed that Detect Vulnerability seems quite powerful. I didn't keep track of the exact figures, but my powers seem to deal about 15% more damage (maybe more) on test dummies compared to the same attack before buying the…
-
Thank you for the input! EGO was the stat I was originally planning to use as a primary: EGO/INT/CON was the basic idea. But I'm afraid the crit chance from mods alone would be much lower after the nerf and I don't want to ditch CON for DEX- Hurricane tends to draw aggro and I like not dying. INT is the stat that has the…

I would have someone organize and lead a "bench procession" in Millenium City. I was in one years ago, and I remember it as one of the most fun moments I've had in CO (which says a lot about the state of endgame content, sadly). People were basically lifting a bench above their heads and doing a miles long conga in ren…
-
Speaking for myself, I'm not jealous, not at all. I had a ranged Regen toon who was always running with 50+ dodge and 60ish adv. thanks to r3 EM and gear alone- and it was nothing fancy, just Heroic stuff and r5 mods. That's a lot of mitigation at almost no cost to the build. The nerf may be eccessive, but I stand by my…
-
I have the feeling the dodge nerf would have been welcome if it had come right after On Alert. IMO, the nerf itself is not the problem- it's the timing. Dodge gear has been stupidly overpowered since On Alert, and I don't remind Cryptic ever saying they were taking a nerf into consideration. People tailored their builds…
-
I've used Rimefire on an ice blast spam build and I loved it. Tap it, look at the big spike, spam IB with the hard frost advantage, then watch master villains die like trash mobs. Add fire snake for additional single target madness. Still, I found it unreliable when it came to its side effects. I never managed to get more…
-
Something new that isn't a badly implemented, 2 minutes mission or a worthless addon to the Z-store? Yes, please.
-
First of all, I appreciate the OP's spirit in that this thread is optimistic and brings forth some ideas for CO's future rather than just whining about things not being done- which is entirely legitimate and, IMO, justified by the state of the game, but DOES get boring. I highly doubt PW care enough about this game to…
-
Yes, a bit too much :D Thanks for the change in tone, I'm glad things didn't escalate the way they usually do on the internet. I believe using a tap-spam macro is entirely legitimate, as it gives about the same performance advantage as sitting on a more comfortable chair while playing. Still, the line between utility and…

I'm pretty sure it's not game breaking or anything, it's just a quality of life improvement for my fingers. But whatever. Sorry dude (or rather, SORRY dude).

Hi there, and kudos for this useful guide! I'm sure my question has been covered already somewhere in the thread, but I could't find anything with the search option. So here I go: is there a keybind to tap-spam a charge power as long as a button is held down? E.g. pressing down a button for 2 seconds to get 4 taps of a…

Nvm, respecced to heavy weapons/regen and having a lot of fun :) But ty all for the input, I may try this build again in the future with Lead Tempest and Killer instinct (an option I was considering already). On a side note, does dodge/avoidance gear really scale with DEX? I thought only the bonus from elusive monk did
