BCR works great with Epidemic. Pop BCR maintain Epidemic... rinse repeat. If you have dex either PSS or SS it helps. This way you only need Devour Essence for tough single targets. Oh, get Fire Snake to go with Defile. For tough mobs: Defile, Fire Snake, Devour Essence... dead.
The easiest leveling build ever: AoPM + Epidemic + Devour Essence + Supernatural Power You could go with an offensive passive, sure it's faster... but with the above you literally have to try to die. Throw in BCR and it's even easier.
You could swap Epidemic for Condemn with advantage. you get a stack of manipulator and poison! it may not be as easy an AOE to use for leveling, but for retcon it should work just fine.
I like it! Cool idea. What triggers Manipulator anyway? Is it just Holds? Or do Roots count? Oh, and it doesnt look like your using the poison stacks for much, so why not r3 Outbreak for faster trash mowing. I guess it could speed up poison application for phlebotomist.
You should read Cyrone85's posts on PFF and check out some his builds. You need a good shield, block helps PFF. drop Protection field, it sux. Here is a link to Cyrone85's PFF tank http://champions-online.proboards.com/thread/2609 you could take the non-attack powers and fill in PA stuff.
and my two cents... End/Con/Int gear and talent to include Ego/ Rec. This has worked very well leveling a toon up. Once you have Flashfire its smooth sailing. I'm at level 24 now and I can do a full maintain of Conflagration without thermal reverberation. with thermal reverberation triggering I usually have no down time…
Exactly what I do for new toons that i want to hurry up the level ladder. Dex/Con/Int + Devour Essence + Supernatural Power and FotT. Recently I have been using Aura of Primal Majesty so that when I start the alert with all DPS and no tank I can end up tanking the Alert. Much preferable to having better DPS and not being…
Well, with a lunge and ss int you could be using MSA. You could drop an AOE since you have three. In my experience dragons wrath r2 plus advantage is better with a high crit chance.
If you are going for a defensive passive id go invulnerability. Much easier for pve solo. You may consider aura of primal majesty with dex /int /con and form of the tempest. Drop lifedrain add devour essence and wtfpwnbbq everything. I consistently pull aggro and end up tanking every alert without an issue with that setup.…
In regards to appearance : go pss dex and drop aspect for form of the tempest. Or drop pestilence for ice form. Ice form buffs toxic damage like pestilence, actually more, just no dot. Ice form doesn't have as busy a visual. Just saw you have enrage. That works with str so drop that for aspect if you are staying ego.
MSA scales with INT if i recall, so you may want to SS int. For Melee I like Dex/ Con/ Int. Use Form of the Tempest and MSA, then you can mix Claws and Telepathy stuff. I like the concept.
I had to reply cause Bubblegum crisis is awesome. The original that is. If i recall Priss's hardsuit is munitions based. I'm thinking unarmed + PA or might + PA to represent her agility and muniverability plus munition (missile) weapons. Tactical missile comes to mind.
1. I invite you to re-read my post. I stated there are other priorities. I did not state "they have had other priorities". 2. You stated that " I doubt people would even know the gear was unavailable" ... lol people don't know its not available because no one is seeking it.
There are so many other areas that take priority over having stats on gear that would be of benefit to a minority of players. So... guess you're going to stop playing :frown:
Yes, what I like to do is: full maintain ebon rift, skarn's bane what's left. The rift continues for a bit and pulls towards itself. Now you can throw sprites in before ebon rift. or start off with a hold.
I don't know if it breaks your theme but, Ebon Rift with advantage is a nice layer. I made a toon that was DEX/CON/END and ran seraphim in support role. I used Skarn's bane, ego sprites, and Ebon Rift. Not much lived through that. Or go for a hold, Ego sprites, Ebon Rift, Skarns bane for lotso layers.
For my might characters I go STR /CON /INT use MSA as energy unlock. If I use invul I use force sheathe. If I use defiance I go retaliation for extra damage or energy shield for extra defense. PFF has received a few boosts and can be used effectively. There is a big thread on the combat & powers board.
Nice Build! I love mixing force and might. My thought is why not CON as your primary? You can use Fuel My Fire as an energy return. Also you could swap Invul for Defiance if energy is of concern. Also I toyed with STR as a PSS so i could use the spec that lets STR affect ranged Knocks. Good times in PVE.
Ive never used one without the other. SR is a killer alpha. AR is the best ST attack of munitions. I cant see how SR would be used as a main ST attack unless you are planning a group only build or serious crowd control build/ AGRO dump build.
just my 2 cents: Ive built a shadow/ sorcery build that uses almost all maintains that uses overdrive. I went pss Dex, secondary end/ con using Seraphim in support role. Its ridiculously effective... I can maintain any power to completion and never run out of energy, plus with crits and rank 3 seraphim i still pump out…
My 2 Cents: You have DEX ss... use FoTT. Drop Int for Rec (talent for end, gear for cost reduction), drop Pyre for Flashfire, drop Spirit Reverberation for Thermal Reverberation. Now lunge in, drop flashfire, and punch/ kick to victory.
As far as I'm aware EGO / STR have heavy dimishing returns. The magic number being somewhere around 70ish. So why pss ego? Higher critic and critic severity seem preferrable.
If you read my original post I don't have int or ego ss. Concentration scales off of int or ego. Therefore my question was which form would perform best. Fott provides a higher % to range if dex is ss than if I used concentration with dex.
I used to run end /con /ego and used concentration. The regular damage was ok and the energy return was great. But in Alerts my damaged sucked. Now with dex and fott my base damage may be a bit less but I'm sitting at 39% crit base without crit gear and my damage is a hell of a lot better.
Tapping havoc stomp has a 40% chance of knock back. If you are having trouble building enrage stacks I would focus on powers that easily knock. You can use roomsweeper on trash or even force eruption. Or add bull rush advantage to mighty leap to kick things off. I like to use demolish with advantage plus haymaker as…
Force knockback scales with ego. Dex affects crit rate among other areas. My suggestion would be drop int for end and gear for cost reduction. Dex /int /ego would work but would nt be very tough.
Heres my Fire/ Heavy Weapon build. I run in hybrid role mostly. Con/ Str/ Rec (talent for End). http://powerhouse.nullware.com/powerhouse.html?v=4&n=&d=1317WAPEQFaB3Q1G000G10JG70O9B03IG04G809G600GE0L28002B00J501GD009K00GB072WhP3bIm3byZ The build was made to allow me to solo content and tank alerts. I havent tried out any…
