Help me fill in the blank in this build...

[Archived Post]

I cannot decide on what 14th level power to take for the build bellow. Nothing stands out as incredibly good, though there are a few options taht aren't useless (Thunderbolt Lunge for the ranged KB; or Electric Sheath for a second hold-breaking/damage-boosting temporary buff are near the top of my list). The slot used to be filled by Sigils of Arcane Sanctuary, but the whine brigade got that nerfed into oblivion, so now I'm at a loss.

Since I can't quite decide, I figure I ought to avail myself of this shiny new forum and see if anyone else has thought of something I haven't.

As always, thanks in advance!

Try Sonic Device with Deafening Dissolution, imo. Also, as a heads up Evanescent Emergence doesn't work atm.

Cheers :cool:

I tried sonic device, actually. The damge bonus is substnaital., but not nearly substantial enough for its energy cost, and the stun component, unfortunately, didn't work as I'd hoped it would.

I appreciate the advice though. Any other thoughts?

I particularly appreciat ehe heads up about Evanescent Emergeance. Hopefully they'll get it fixed before I get to that level and it becomes an issue.

The stun works just fine in PvE, in PvP it seemed to be a bit variable though. As for the cost, I guess I'm probably not one to speak as I have my Int up to the point of having -60% costs...:o If you don't need/want more damage, I'd probably go with either Thermal Reverberation for Pyre/Conflag spamming at point blank range or Lighting Sheath to chain with Immolation for ranged annihilation.

Cheers :cool:

I was thinking of a secod temporary buff, actually! M0ar damage!!!111!!! Also more bonus endurence and hold-breaking. MOst likely that is what I will go with. The decision is essenitally between that and Thunderbolt Lunge.

Im curious - which one do people think is better for PvP?

[Archived Post]

To clairfy did you use Sonic Device's advantage? And use it on like 5 mobs?

[Archived Post]

Even three mobs is enough to see it's value, 5 mobs and it is into the realm of making me feel like discussing it is going to bring down a huge hammer that'll obliterate the ability. :p

[Archived Post]

I did, and I cna easily see the value to, say, an electricity DPS build, but with Fire I find that that I can obliterate a more or elss arbitrarilly high number of henchmen at will anyway.

To each their own but Sonic Device haunts me. I have to fight back the urge to include it in every single character. It's so powerful :(
