  1. Does anyone have a strong spines/invul build they'd like to share? My focus is on farming large mobs and doing some TFs.
  2. This seems to be a rarely chosen build, so I figure I would post the build I put together. Please feel free to critique or offer suggestions. The build should provide perman-hasten with siphon speed. I plan to solo a lot with this guy, or team as a duo with a scrapper. This should certainly work for a large team as well.

  3. Check out the build I put together below. This is a somewhat expensive build, but it gives great survivability if soloing. You end up with 66.8% S/L resist, 10.9% Melee def, 15.3% Ranged def, and 18.7% AoE def. You can find ways to squeeze out more def, but you lose other bonuses. One goal I had was to ensure perma-hasten on this build. With Siphon Speed, I can do that.

  4. I actually started a kin/arch build a couple days ago. I will be making mine a mostly solo build, but should work for teams, too. I haven't sat down and played around with IO sets much, so I can't comment on your slots... but I will comment on some power choices:

    I will not be going with Medicine in my build, since transference is plenty of healing for my purposes, even if i'm on teams.

    I would suggest not taking Siphon Power or respec'ing/2nd build out of it when you get fulcrum shift. Some will say it is good to have if you are facing a single AV or EB, with which I agree, assuming you will be doing this. I do not plan on facing many single target enemies so I am skipping the power.

    Aim seems to be a skippable power, especially if you are on the defender side vs the blender side.

    I do not see Power Build Up as that great of a choice for your build. Sure, it'll increase heals for a short bit... but with archery, you're dealing mainly lethal damage and there is no secondary effect. You may be taking this to get to a shield power, in which case, you could get a better power out of Dark or Psychic epics and then get pretty much the same shield.

    Just my thoughts, take them or leave them. I'll try to remember to post my build on here when I have a chance to sit down to put it together.
  5. Oh, and since this is a thread about the 'endurance discount'... I haven't noticed a discount AT ALL on ANY of my builds. I am actually skeptical as to whether or not there really is a discount implemented in the game.

    Since we can only 3 slot Stamina now, it doesn't even let us break even to where we were before.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    FYI you can still six slot stamina.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You can six slot it, but if someone thinks that it will actually help they might need a slapping to wake them up.

    I think stamina is pretty much required in many builds... not all, because I know I could get away without it on my controller.... transference is great. My defender doesn't have it but struggles at times during av's when RA is down. My regen has stamina and quick recovery and still occaisonally has endurance problems in heated battles. My invul scrapper is useless without it.... with it he will run out of endurance in half of the fights without a def/cont around for buffing.

    My fire/dev blaster pretty much requires it...

    So, it isn't necessary for all builds, because some powersets have endurance buffing powers. Other builds that want to be effective will need it.
