You did all that with just shred and massacre? That's really impressive!
-
Yeah. CC bad, stuns good. Run in, tap TK Maelstrom to stun everything in 25' for 10 seconds. Sonic Device, Particle Smash to biggest group, Laser Sword what's left. If stun wears off, TK maelstrom again. On bosses play whackamole with your cooldowns and spam Laser Sword in between. If the tank needs help or the DPS is hurt…

Reworked it some. Was using the advantage on Energy Wave to pull things in, but I got frustrated with grouping people only to have them immediately Force Detonated, Chest Beamed, or Shotgun Blasted apart. Stuns work incredibly well and the presence in support role with ranked heals makes the team pretty much invincible in…

Sorry, I had meant my reply to be humorous, not insulting. It does often occur that munitions and infernal would be better options than whatever other concept I'm working on, so it happening again simply made me chuckle. No offense intended.
-
It's funny how many of my builds come back to, you can do that, but DE/TGM will work better. Or, that could work, but LT/Epidemic would be a whole lot better. :) (And they do, just need to have something other than Muni/Infernal occasionally! ^_^) I'm guessing using Ebon Ruin instead of Celestial Conduit wouldn't help me…

Here's one way you could go: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Noire Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary) Level 15: Constitution (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Void Level 6: Shooter Level 9: Ascetic Level 12: Acrobat Level 15: Sniper Training Level 18: Survival…

You've got two energy stats, no SS Con, no Conviction, no Nimble Mind, and no Masterful Dodge would be the first few things that jump out at me.
-
1) Yeah, I've been reading a lot of posts about Dex as a SSS not being very good unless you are deriving energy returns or form bonuses off it because the crit nerf hurt it so much. That's why so many of the talent specializations are geared towards flat crit bonuses to single target attacks. Between that and your…
-
Force Lightning is good and all, but how you going to play a Sith that can't Force Choke? Lightning Arc is a pain to supply energy for without concentration, INT, END, and ionic reverb. Plus it needs Negative Ions on its victim for much of its damage but then again, you don't have it ranked so its probably just a thematic…
-
Good thoughts. Yeah, I have a few odd choices I'll try to explain. See I was STR/con/dex initially relying on Enrage and Physical Peak for my energy management with a little MSA help. It worked alright, it'd work even better with Defiance from an energy standpoint I just dislike having to start nearly every pull blocking…
-
Now there's a useful bit of knowledge.
-
Yep, but most holds, paralyzes, and incapacitates are near instantly ended by damage anyway. I've got a manipulator, stall tactics, super pre stun-lock mage I use for CC. This is more a support via heal/group damage than lockdown experiment. Keep the group healed with passive hots or active shields, get buffs to my damage…
-
That's the plan, who knows if it'll work. But that's the thought. I had started Dex then changed to Ego for ranged damage as I wasn't sure if DoTs can crit. I imagine I'll spend most of my global cooldowns playing whack-a-mole with all the DoTs coming off cooldown. Do Shadow of Doubt, Mental Leech, and Mental Storm crit? I…
-
Working on it, all I've got so far is some mercenary's gear with rank 5's and some random auction 39-40 blues/purples in my secondary slots. Got to grind up a mess of Q and G.
-
Right O. I just think it'd be easier to level from level 20-40 with Avalanche than without it. Especially since your only kind of AE is Wall of Ice until Snow Storm. If thematic growth of your powers is more important that quality of life conveniences then go for it. Whatever is more fun to you is best.
-
Nothing to scale into Concentration sucked, Twist of Fate didn't out perform Guardicator. Updated: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Endurance (Primary) Level 10: Ego (Secondary) Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Glacier Level 6: Acrobat Level 9: Accurate…

Avalanche is so amazing in so many situations I'd want it as soon as possible.
-
There are much better builders than I but I recently did this and after a lot of tweaking this is what I ended up playing. I wouldn't recommend doing the first 14 levels as posted, as I said, I tried a bunch of things and eventually came around to this after TK maelstrom and Dragon kick really made it work. I played in…
-
Updated with feedback, less basic ice, still should be able to recolor to stay thematic. Brought in Stormbringer for crushing resistance then took it back out because of firesnake and rimefire. Not sure what would work better defensively as an offensive passive with these abilities. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name:…
-
Yeah, swapping out the crap powers for ES/NM, MD, Palliate w/Absolve, and all the standards would definitely make the character better. I'm somewhat resigned to this one being bad just for the theme I want. I've got other characters to play when he frustrates me I guess. ^_^ So Deflection/Adrenaline Rush in Con work better…
-
Thanks Flow! Alright, I'll stick with Fortified Gear, I know for sure it helps, even if only a little.
-
Do you have any vids of it crashing Lairs? I'd like to see how you use your cooldowns on the larger packs or deal with all the knocks. Thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks! I tweaked which of my summons had ranks in them some with this and the results have been fantastic.
-
Primal Rage died when Aggressor, Enrage, and Knock Damage were nerfed. Now Enrage is a Form, Aggressor is an Active Offense, and Concentration has shown up which scales off of either Ego OR Int. In addition, a large portion of your damage comes directly from being in Ranged/Melee stance. So Pulsewave's trick doesn't really…
-
Good to know. And clones bad, but homages/parodies allowed as far as I know. So since they don't use any of the real names (code or otherwise) and their costumes are not exactly the same, I don't believe there is a problem. At least that was my understanding.
-
Nope, they don't seem cohesive because there are no ruby quartz visor wearing frameworks that focus on optic blasts. Force blast, Ice blast, Shadow blast, ect can be recolored and use head emanation points. Of them Ice Blast seems the best DPS with Hard Frost which could work with Typhoon's ability to Chill. Typhoon and…
-
Sue would be using concentration for most of her leveling and most of the time, but just for the fun of a change of pace at the end I put in the containment field and defense fields and IDF for switching to full force field protection support. It was more of a thematic and fun toy then something to seriously use when it's…
-
I don't know why it says Ego up there, I'm using PRE/int/con as like you said, AoPM is giving me plenty of Ego all by itself. I've got plenty of cooldowns to power MSA and I've got a lot of Ego Leech stacks from TK Maelstrom if I wanted to go with the TK energy unlock. But I'm running in Support stance and have no energy…
-
Another variant based on how he's actually playing out in game. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Presence (Primary) Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary) Level 15: Ego (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Grimoire Level 6: Showmanship Level 9: Diplomatic Level 12: Academics Level…
-
Drat. I was hoping Sudden Impact would let me quickly stack manipulator and ego leech for tk maelstrom. I wish they'd hurry up and get the wiki up and running.
-
And just as an exercise in theorycrafting, here's a more thematic approach I was pondering while I should be working. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Presence (Primary) Level 10: Ego (Secondary) Level 15: Intelligence (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Grimoire Level 6:…
-
I'll give that a shot, thanks Flowcyto!
-
Great! Thanks for the notes.
-
Alright. I think I'll go Force Shield and Smoke Bomb to finish it off. Thanks for the feedback! (Do I need to rank up Smoke Bomb to make it drop aggro on bosses?)
