The Go Go Gadget Guide to Everything Gadgets

In a group of 8 yes. The numbers are probably 20 or 30 pages behind for pre GU47 numbers.
Try it out with the parser on league hall targets over 10 minutes. One for SB and one for GG or NG. I used the combat log analyzer then so I was able to isolate the damage to SB and GG. I used a frostbite consumable to buff GG. It might be difficult to buff GG and not register the damage on the parser if you used a consumable. Definitely with one of you PIs. Unless another player just sets up frostbite for you.

I seriously need to sign back in to this game lol. I went munitions just to try it out and I think that brain dead power is why I took another break from DC. Gadgets I was constantly changing my load out over and over just because of situations that may or occur, or even just my mood. Others powers just weren't like that to me.

New Genesis Now Tip:
Gadgets Controllers can use Taser Pull/Iconic Lasso to jump pull the adds off the platform in the last fight and into the radiation pit. You need to be careful about doing that though since you need to position yourself along the edge and it is easy to get knocked off. I think Vortex Cannon would work for pushing adds that are positioned along the very edge of the platform.

When I'm trolling and I don't need to be a battery (so basically when I'm playing with 3 quantum DPS) I use Sticky, GG and Foam for debuffs/POT, but also to set up a PDart
The thing is, most of the time I don't see a jump in dmg from PDart, but a dmg increase should be there because of PDart's AM
I usually use this on bosses, so I know the PIs are in effect, so what could I be doing wrong to not get the high dmg?

The AM is only usable in the damage role. You will get a PI boost on P dart from the enemy being Dazed from Sticky, this is the same boost you get from GG on burning enemies, Napalm on Frostbitten enemies, etc, but you will not get the AM damage.

I got a chance to log in and work on some feats. Also, PDF VII absorbs 4260 damage.PDV VI Experts absorb 4080 so the jump isn't that huge compared to Vi and Expert VI.


I should be able to get to work on some other stuff now that the semester is over.

You can get AM damage from the 3x PI set and Distract buff to EMP or PDart in Controller role. I've used them. It's Battle Display's Battle Awareness, for power return, that you can't use in Controller role.

It could be because you waited too long to cast the powers in order? Or maybe you hit Defib more than once in that 3xPi set up? Maybe it's just lag?

I think I might be overusing defib. I'm using staff WM with this so I'll usually set up 1 PI per rotation and clip a defib after each PI power

Is the staff-rifle WM animation too long to get the PIs set up?

It is, I believe even Brawlings Shuriken Storm Mastery is too long. What you can do is using phantom triangle (clipped ranged tap). Rifle still does good single target hits and decent AoE. It isn't much but why not taking it if it's free, right? ^^

only do 1 defib within a 3xpi set up. Anymore will cancel the tagging.

The tagging for 3xpi is very short. Like less than a second. Any hold Attack will most likely not register. On the 2nd page of this thread, right in the Advanced mechanic section, I have a video of me doing tap triangles (phantom triangles) in between each 3x power for tagging and I still get AM damage. Check it out if you want to see what it looks like. I'd link in it but I'm on my phone.

I got a chance to do the Happiness raid. I definitely caught the fight with Aquaman. Those water elements he summons ended up taking out the tank & attacking the group. The water elements have no breakout profiles (they do not breakout). So you could stun them and have the DPS burn them down with the boss.

Sticky Bomb & PDart worked well to stun 8 targets. Even Gauss on the initial 2 for its 2 stun target hit. The knockback on Sticky Bomb won't knock the NPCs out of the Damager's AOE unless a tank is spamming their own knockdowns which they don't need to do.

As always, Controller stuns, including Gadgets, do not to be refreshed every 3 seconds like Chronoemitters and they last longer than the 4 second duration on Nature's broken Harvest CC. Also, they last the same duration as Quantum's CC except all of our CC'd targets can be physically pulled by the tank (except for PDart's original target).

When you doing your controlling guide, foo? You should collaborate with me and doc if you're gonna touch on some Light stuff.

Hey, I had been gadgets for about 6 months and I've now returned. Was there ever a point when the 3 PI moves hit relatively hard by themselves or am I just imagining things? It could be due to the CR scaling but my numbers have been extremely low

I'm trying to get to it. I also have to do the damage numbers & comparing. But first I'm trying to do some of the new content for gear so that I can plateau somewhere and I'm trying to the new feats done. Everyone glitched it so I have set up for it with people who are actually up for it legit.

No. They've always hit for normal even when you buff the PI's. If you were testing against a sparring target I think the recent hotfix buffed their defense.

Yea didn't even notice that until today. Had me in panic mode. Thanks Dark. The CR differential makes a huge (maybe too much) of a difference in damage out

After not running GG/FG/CF as my 3x PI setup since WotL2 due to the encasement issue dropping the AM and CF getting stuck in animation at the slightest sign of lag, I decided to try it out again.

Disappointing to see nothing has changed.

I usually just clip CF with Battle Display everytime to prevent getting stuck, that's obviously just for "classic" loadouts that have BD and not put it on Stealth.

Having issues DPS'n want make sure Im maximizing my build
Currently 124 running GG/Vortex CF Sticky/SF and intim Iprefer EMP only a few instances I havent been able to not use

Weapons I generally use DW, HB my fav is the shield but currently using staff (my only 110)m looking to spec full Prec Might whilst splitting both blue and yellow slots with Prec/Might power and Prec/Might Health


With my recent rotation Im only netting about 11k/s

I want to see a Gadget guy become like Rorschach. With dual pistols and trench coat and everything. Just start growling about justice and compromise at anyone they see lol.



He's more OP than Batman. MY FACE! GIMMIE BACK MY FACE!

And here's TheDark once he gets old.



And TheDark blowing his steam on some petty crook haha.

It's a little difficult to compare my numbers with yours due to me having a lower CR. I'm still working on getting a few more pieces so I'm at a number where most folks will be. I'm also getting my troll gear for my troll project coming up.

Aside from your 124 cr, whats your stats on might & precision?
Hb can be too slow for some of the content.
What's your exact rotation?

Rorschach is lame. He has no cape.

This is me yo. Starts at 1:15

Dark***: I'm not Batman... I kill...
