I can't stop... Eaggghhh!

OK, the way things are going here I may need an intervention...

Flambeau got another round of updates last night while I was "just looking" at Wentworth's. Extra cash and salvage in the vault caused my reserve to crumble and I fleshed out some more of his set enhancements... Take a look:





So, added from last update is the completed set of Touch of Death IO's in Scorch. I also have Fire Shield 4-slotted with Impervium Armor.

My momentary bout of insanity last week was buying the recipe for Numina's Convalescence +Regen +Recovery for (wait for it...) 15M influence. It's a unique enhancement (only 1 per character) that adds +20% Regen and +10% Endurance Recovery. I snapped it up because:

A.) I had the cash from some other sales that went through
B.) Since they fixed the Katie Express task force loophole, the supply of these is gonna dry up FAST. Figured it was better to snap it up now before prices became (more) insane

On the horizon, Flambeau still needs Scirocco's Dervish slotted into Blazing Aura. Also, Weave needs to be slotted out with Red Fortune set enhancements (some nice bonuses there including a global +2% damage and +5% recharge reduction). Oh, and I need to see about getting at least one additional Numina's into Health to start getting the +Regen and +Max Health set bonuses there. Other than that, we'll see how the build progresses.

At level 47 (when I can slot L50 IOs) I plan on considering a respec to optimize slotting... At L50, two IOs are almost at the ED cap (84% vs the 93% cap, IIRC). Some ideas would be to 2-slot Hasten and Fiery Embrace and use the slots elsewhere in the build. Problem with that is the scaling that happens when you Exemp down to a lower level... If you stay at Level 47+, the slotting is fine. Exemping below that really makes you need the 3rd slot. We'll see.

Revised calculations for set bonuses (global):

18.00 % Accuracy all attacks
6.26 % AoE Defense
8.00 % Damage all attacks
-8.80 % Hold Duration
-8.80 % Immobilize Duration
2.25 % Max Endurance
9.38 % Max Health
6.26 % Melee Defense
6.26 % Neg Energy Resistance
8.14 % Psionic Defense
3.75 % Ranged Defense
15.00 % Recovery
52.00 % Regeneration
-4.40 % Sleep Duration

Additional Regeneration is significant, as unslotted Fitness pool power Health is 40%. regeneration.

Stamina, for comparison, unslotted gives 25% Recovery. Also a significant improvement.

+18% accuracy is like having an extra Accuracy Dual-Origin enhancement in every attack. +8% damage is like having an extra Damage Training-Origin enhancement in every attack.
