lol get the fk outta' here you pathethic atempt of a scout. I remember you from NA forums in 47/51 patch saying the same sht, Do I really have to lecture you in front of everyone?

Scout does pull agro, sure, but MOSTLY it's your fault if you go in too fast before the warr/paladin generates enough agro at the start of the combat. Just because your epeen cant' hold it and you want to squeeze all your dps just as the fight started and you pull all the agro from the tank before he can get it doesn't mean you have to take defensive rubies to stay alive.

Build acording to what you want, stop trying to be a jack of all trades. You want to tank? Fine, spec melee and go tank. You want to DPS? THEN FINE, pick all the god damn dps rubies, wait for the tank to get enough agro and THEN start dpsing yourself. How to get AOE groups togheter? Oh gee i don;t know, telekinetic pull maybe?

Ofcourse you think fan of knives is useless now since all you're fighting are 5-10 second long AOE pulls, but when you get to longer lasting ones you will have a shtton of UNUSED energy just siting there because you're too close minded to use it.

Typical rotation for long AOE pulls : WAIT for agro and dont blow kanian racial at start since it's a big aoe, DOT some mobs with incend while waiting then Tesla, rain of arrows, kanian/xad racial -> tesla -> fan of knives -> tesla -> fan of kinves with caltrops when needed. THATS top AOE dps.

Same goes for single target damage, ACC heat is part of it, even if its % is low, it';s still better than nothing. Free fkin' DOT. Heck, you can even use caltrops in single target pulls for filler damage when your concentration pot is on since you can spare the energy.

It's simple as that, make a build for what your goal is, not for two or more purposes. If you want to DPS fine, make a full dps build. If you want to tank fine, make a tank build. If you want to range pvp you make a ranged pvp build. If you want to be un-noticeable make a jack of all trades build.

lol its rare to read so much bullshit the scout WILL take aggro if you think any dps waits for tank you play the wrong game dude normally the first tesla hits the mob grp before the tank is even in melee range and well fuck it it works fine in astral BUT he will tank cuz of this but hey aoe packs just live a few sek (ah and btw every mob grp on islands is a aoe pack for me ) so defensive rubees are a must... i often have this with my perma party and also i was astral with vash last time and tank died... well happens from time to time right? what then just wipe it? nope scout simply takes over then cuz they are tanky vash was the best psicrab tank i ever saw

and btw i also think melee aoe isnt really useful as ranged dps... and NO you dont always have a psi for telekenetik pull and the inkarnation skill just hits 3 targets...

"normally the first tesla hits the mob grp before the tank is even in melee range and well fuck it it works fine in astral^"



aaaand you just won the prize for stupidest reader ever, bravo. I just said that that's the usual case if you DONT wait for the tank to get agro, Why do you insist on posting back without even analyzing what i've said? Your dirty half assed aoe build will only do max dmg when the pack DOESNT live longer than 5-10 seconds, AS I'VE SAID, but it won't yield top results against someone who is using fan of knives if the aoe fight is gonna last longer than 10-15 secs, with will happen later in the game.

90% of you don't even know what type of damage most monsters do, yet yeah, lets pick some defensive rubies and hope for the best, shall we? Wrong.

The best example are armor rubies. Go fight monsters in astral and tell me what type of damage they do and you'll find out most don't actually do full physical damage, especialy bosses ( rendering your armor rubies USELESS ) with makes the two magic resistance rubies way more helpfull.

^ r1 fan of knives and the two magical defense rubies, acc. heat and the 3rd luck ruby that he skipped in his original PVE build and the 3rd determination one, albeit less helpful, all with the same ammount of rubies. top single target dps potential. Top aoe dps potential. Sure you lost sword vs sorcery, but that's the biggest trade-off.

that cannot be the raven himself must be imposter

Guys, no need for arguing, everyone has different play styles.
But I do have to agree with bloodraven, you should always wait for the tank to get aggro and then start dpsing. You shouldn't take hits from mobs and if something hits you, it's usually elemental damage (poison from spiders, lightning from martyr, fire from bombs).
And accumulated heat might be low damage, but free dps is free dps.

lol do we go the same astral ? aoe and stuff is holy,elemental or poison yes but hits from mobs are pretty much ALWAYS physical nature

Well as far as Agro goes, even previous patch I've ran s29 with many different parties/tanks with anti-Agro rubies, I would wait for good 5% of boss and still end up pulling Agro. Many tanks around still to collaborate those facts.

Sometimes I would wait for Agro, do a rotation and still pull Agro on the mob I was attacking. (Yes I attacked tanks target)

So now, weather my DPS ratio is higher than tanks Agro ratio, or it's just a "bad" tank is a different story. But waiting for aoe Agro, and even then when I do an aoe rotation with 2-5mill dps per aoe pack initial i am guarantied to pull Agro (specialy if I wait for brutality to kick in). No matter how good tank is 99% I still pull Agro, only good thing is caltrops and mobs die before they reach me. The fact stands, only time I will not pull Agro is if I don't dps at all, or do single target dps with a slow rotation.

i like this guy. knows what hes talking about.

LOOL @ bloodraven so much rage! ahahahaha
(@blood) dude i didnt say that i didnt wait for tanks to do their job, i simply said scout WILL pull aggro.
and did we all forget about pvp? dominion? WH? ahaha dont you like a warrior or pally or pretty much half the classes layin down the hurt on you? oh wait you dont take armor rubies, which are PERCENTAGE based, not linear addition.


yeah sure accumulated heat is "free dps", but is it really free? tbh even when i did take it, it only accounted for about...less than 5% of total damage, be it astral or pvp or raiding. heck, id sooner take last laugh than accumulated heat. if the proc chance were higher, id take it in a heartbeat. until then, no thanks jeff.


about your ludicrous insulting of everyone on this forum, where do you get off? you seem to forget that everyone is a keyboard warrior who spouts off things like epeen and fk and all this verbal vomit and trying to get jimmies rustled. try again brah.

Yep,thats the very reason I carry swingout in pretty much every build.Caltrops and a salvo of our AoEs are usually enough to deal with mobs running towards you aside from the ones that cant exacly be cc`d or bosses.Usually 5s is enough to survive the killing blow and run away/recoil out/allow tank to regain aggro .So far it saved me on so many occasions that I really dont have to worry about if my tank will hold the aggro for those few seconds or not.Im not mindlessly dpsing but why hold back when you have so many cool utilities to escape and evade death?

Hi. I like you.

sigh you didn't even bother to read carefully what i said before typing a response, how typical.

Go back to the 1st/2nd post and see the "spec for the role you want to play" part. If you want a pvp build, go make a ranged pvp build. If you want a pve dps build, then make god damn sure you maximize its potential and take every ounce of extra dps rubies/talents there is.

You still have some defensive rubies in the build i've posted and far superior in usage to the usual armor ones since bosses and such have elemental damage most of the time, you're just too ignorant to try it yourself. Guess some people are content with being average, oh well.

Hello,

May i remember everyone that this is "Pimp My Build", and not "let's all pimp other's build" .
VashBOG choose to play in a certain way, and presents this way for the "Pimp My build" (his build).

All your advices are welcome, and will help further players to adjust their own builds, but this is not a contest about what's the best build for each class, but presenting our own build and explaining why we choose this ruby/skill instead of another .

dude why are you so angry lol

I dont have a water of death nor greatness, and I barely even play seriously anymore, so your input of elemental defense rubies is falling on deaf ears. yes those rubies are good, thats not what is being debated. but not even sure what the issue was anyways.

how long exactly have you been playing scout? good lord.

The issue was dismissing acc heat rubies in a sole pve dps buid lol, you all went on and started blabbing about defensive rubies being helpful in pvp when i was criticising what a fully orientated pve dps build should look like ( with role is to maximize the dps potential, and yes, it should have acc heat, its up to 5% single target dps.

Too low for your tastes? Doesnt matter, its still a dps booster not worth dismissing when discussing, and read it carefully this time, maybe you get it, a full pve dps build. Its usage in pvp or anything else is outright stupid ofcourse, and if you're playing casual and cant re-spec builds often go ahead and stick to your jack of all trades build, but dont deny that there are certain better builds to fit different roles like full pve dps, pvp etc better.

Fight lasted how long, less than a min? Go try for higher sectors or raid boses when its time

I've never considered a class change, but after seeing your guide it definitely makes me want to!

Awesome guide, makes me want to level and try out my scout!

Good luck!
