damn ! that was impressive !
Nice transmute on your weapon
any advices on build/gear ?

soonergm

what is the optimal time to hit shift to avoid the knock back of RA?
how do you get so many temp HP from templars wrath when you are not around any ememies?

justawilly

@sethan93: This build is made especially to max out usefulness of Aura gift by using Bonding companion. Bonus damage from owlbear cub you see there is only icing on cake (but not a must). I'll post my build once i'm back from work.

@soonergm: Lol depends on latency. I prefer not to use Shift it's kinda slow to activate. If i can avoid it i use templars wrath instead. Templars wrath temp hit point also works on allies/companions but my power can go really high. (60k+ power) so i don't need a lot to max out my temp hit point.

sethan93

Oh I thought owlbear was absolutely necessary !
Well I usually have no problem with Orcus but your way is really fun. Very aggressive way to tank it and using all offensive encounters. Same for trash mobs.
I'll take a close look to your build to see what's different from mine !
thanks a lot !

1. Aura Gifts is not affected by the power you get from Bonding Companion.

2. you can use shift to do animation canceling for abilitys like templars wrath or Divine Judgement. so you should use it for that but it needs a bit of practice.

@justawilly pls dont give out wrong information regarding point 1.

justawilly

Then can you explain me how the hell am i giving 15k+ power on buffs in dungeons? because i cant find any other feat/skill/whatever where it could come from. my power outside combat is only around 16k. and there was no dc around to boost it.
Or maybe players were giving me getting wrong information about the amount of buff it gives.

I have 2 theories.

1) Prot OP Oath Mechanic buffs power. This power buff could potentially work with Aura Gifts.

2) Aura Gifts is transferred to bonding pets.

I have not tested either (been a while since I have played OP) but those are 2 possibilities.

justawilly

Even with that mechanic its not enough to put it at 15k+
To give 15k+ in power buff in aura gifts i need like 60k+ in power it only gives 25% of your power
So now I'm completely confused-.-

So I just checked. Both of the statements I made are true. When you share power with aura gifts, you share the power on your char sheet excluding companions and the power from the Prot tank power mechanic. For a BiS prot stacking power+HP, that is theoretically 25% of 50k+, which is 12.5k+ power. Now, if you give that to a bonding pet and a character, the other player gets 12.5k directly and 35.625k from their bondings, for a total power share of 48.125k.

justawilly

Wierd since that player who told me wasn't using bondings if i remember correctly i'll check it up with some players later on getting a headache now.

do you know if the protection mechanic works with temp HP?

justawilly

No it doesn't it only works with your current max HP whenever you get hit. i highly doubt cryptic would allow that.... that would so broken.

soonergm

lol, it sure would but wanted to know for sure. ty.
