Okay, pretty radical respec on Velvet, based on (a) her Endurance drain sucks, (b) I really need to get Invincibility, and (c) Doyce’s preaching<\/a> on the subject.<\/p>\n


\nCourtesy of CoH Planner, here is what Velvet looks like right now<\/strong> (VJ1), or would, once I levelled her to 24:
\n01 : Jab dam(01) dam(3) acc(7) dam(9) dam(13)
\n01 : Resist Physical Damage damres(01) damres(5)
\n02 : Punch dam(02) dam(3) acc(5) dam(9) dam(11) dam(13)
\n04 : Temp Invulnerability damres(04) damres(15) damres(17)
\n06 : Dull Pain hel(06) endred(7)
\n08 : Resist Elements damres(08) damres(15) damres(17)
\n10 : Combat Jumping jmp(10) defbuf(11)
\n12 : Resist Energies damres(12) damres(21)
\n14 : Super Jump jmp(14)
\n16 : Taunt tntdur(16)
\n18 : Unyielding damres(18) damres(19) damres(19) endred(21) damres(23) damres(23)
\n20 : Swift runspd(20)
\n22 : Hurdle jmp(22)
\n24 : Stamina endrec(24) endrec(25)
\nUpcoming would be Invincible and Hasten.
\nHere is what she’ll look like after the respec<\/strong> (VJ2):
\n01 : Jab acc(01) dam(3) dam(17)
\n01 : Resist Physical Damage damres(01) damres(5) damres(7) damres(11) damres(13) damres(15)
\n02 : Punch acc(02) dam(3) dam(17) dam(19)
\n04 : Dull Pain recred(04) recred(5) recred(7) recred(19)
\n06 : Combat Jumping endred(06)
\n08 : Unyielding damres(08) damres(9) damres(9) damres(11) damres(13) damres(15)
\n10 : Taunt tntdur(10)
\n12 : Swift runspd(12)
\n14 : Super Jump jmp(14)
\n16 : Hurdle jmp(16)
\n18 : Invincibility defbuf(18)
\n20 : Stamina endrec(20) endrec(21) endrec(21) endrec(23) endrec(23)
\n22 : Temp Invulnerability damres(22)
\n24 : Haymaker acc(24)
\nMain differences are dropping REL\/REN, holding TI until the very end (and just with one slot, for “emergencies”), pumping up RPD, getting Stamina way earlier, less damage to the physical attacks but adding Haymaker … and getting Invincibility.
\nLooking at damage resistance, for VJ1 vs VJ2 (with TI); VJ1 vs VJ2 (without TI) (and all assuming at-level DOs):
\n77, 76; 40, 42 – Lethal\/Smash
\n49, 26; 40, 26 – Cold\/Fire
\n48, 26; 49, 26 – Energy\/Neg
\n26, 26; 26, 26 – Toxic
\n00, 00; 00, 00 – Psi
\n1.4, 1.2; 1.8, 1.6 – Endurance Recovered per Second
\nSo the damage resistance for lethal\/smash is pretty close; VJ1 does quite a bit better with cold\/fire\/energy than VJ2 (due to the REN\/REL).
\nBut, looking at it, the endurance recovery, even with close-to-fully-slotted Stamina, is actually slightly worse for VJ2 than VJ1. Why change?
\nBecause VJ2 also has Invincibility running, which is giving her a big boost on defense (and to hit) whilst in mobs. Without Invincibility, her net EPS recovery is 1.5\/1.9 (with\/without TI).
\nI’m still not 100% sold. The damage dealt is a bit lower (though with an extra attack).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
