A vote for Rad/Pain here, mines a tankmage.
Perma WoP + Tough + Patron Shield
He Buffs/Debuffs/Heals and deals decent damage (most attacks slotted with -res procs) -

Dont forget the Disruption Aura that will be dropping the mob that surrounds the Golem by -30% resistance to all damage as well.
It is a little scary making a Character that cant heal, or doesnt heal with either of its sets, but im sure it wont matter with the attack plan i have for it.I should litterally be out of most, if not all danger.If im not, ill see about the medicine pool.
Also IIRC the disruption aura will cause aggro to be drawn to you. Granted I believe this only affects pets as my only /Sonic toon is my Fire/Sonic corr, I yet to test this with pets. -

I am going to be starting my Stone/Sonic Controller tonight.
I know what your thinking.
"It wont Synergize very well."
Well, thats perfectly fine with me!
Sonic Shields + Pet Resist Procs + Animated Stones high resistances
I did something similar with my Earth/Thermal, I went with thermal over sonic for the heals. But sonic provides mez protection and more -res debuffs. Animated stones attacks all taunt which helps keep the attacks off of you. -
Brutes are insanely addictive, I've got 8 at 50 with no intentions of stopping. My new one is a Claw/Elec and having a SMASHtastic time.

Just the MM

Hehehe I have two Ninjitsu stalkers at 50 and could not answer the question of if it breaks hide off hand. Then again most stalkers that have smoke bomb, don't normally open with it

From personal experience, NOT force fields -- assuming you do not have reliable partying options.
I have a Grav/Stone, synergy from the stacked stuns and kb/ku is nice. Some teams won't like kb, politely ask them to lrn2play. -
Indeed just you, but in a click power its effects will only be felt for its normal duration. Placed in Health the effects are perma.
I personally don't find this IO very useful on MMs and advise you save it and place it in a Brute. -
I had a hard time getting into brutes at first as well, what did it for me was my Elec/WP. Leveled quickly and was a lot of fun, after that I've gotten 7 other brutes to 50.
My List of Level 50 Brutes, all fully IO'd
Elec/WP, SS/Fire, SS/WP, Dark/Fire, Dark/Stone, Stone/Energy (Softcapped to all but psi), EM/SR (Softcapped), Fire/Shield (Softcapped)
I wont post builds since you mentioned you're adept with mids. But I only see one of my brutes on my list that you've tried. Any questions on the other builds I listed, feel free to ask. -
Playing some browser games, plus forums for other stuff. Laid back night, wife is at work and I'm home with the kids.

Quote:I have two level 50 Necro MMs, I personally cannot advise not putting any damage enhancements into Lich. While the lich isn't a high source of damage when compared to the knights. His damage should not be ignored, even more so when you don't have several powers that stack with his -tohit.Originally Posted by GangstaBlade
hmm I may do a couple of alterations to your build. Ill post the new copy. But... I wont be putting any damage enh into lich or soul extraction
As far as soul extraction goes, its mostly an IO mule. -
A lot of wasted slotting, not sure what you're doing with sets, you don't seem to have a goal in mind. Major thing that bothers me is your lich has zero damage enhancements. If you want a long list of my opinions on your build, let me know.
This is my current build for my Necro/Thermal. Presence pool was added more for theme then real need.

Stuff came up with work and I just got home, gonna eat and get some sleep. I'll try to make it, but don't wait long for me if I'm not there. Don't wanna hold anyone up.
Happy New Year Infinity -
I started back in Oct 04' with a scrapper, moved onto blasters and then got stuck on controllers. I would say brutes and scrappers are great for learning the game.

I was out of range of the inherent bonus.
Find me another AT that can have 85% resist all damage, mez protection, a solid AoE attack chain, the ability to stun ten targets in a 45 degree arc, be followed by three damage dealing pets, has a way to heal and fill endurance in one power that's up every 20 seconds, and can cap its own damage bonus, all without outside buffs or "assistance of an inherent".
I'm not saying it's the best, mind you. I merely contest that it is pretty damn far from the bottom of the barrel.
A /traps mastermind with oppressive gloom could pull most of that off. Also with masterminds it would be irrelevant to have capped damage on yourself. Also doubtful one could do all that out of the box. I would wager that your Warshade is heavily IO'd, we all know the difference to a toon afterwards. My Stone/NRG brute sucked till I softcapped him, now he's among my best brutes.
I personally do not find Khelds to be fun at all, I've tried so many times to get a kheld to 50. Granted I'm not degrading the ability of khelds, I've seen some awesome ones in my time here. IMO its an AT the Devs could have done so much more with and didn't. -
I've got a level 50 Necro/Traps its a great combo really.
ShoeTattoo touched on the main synergies with this, but I have to disagree with his opinion on Seekers. The mag stun is low and cannot be relied upon fully, the debuff is still nice however. I have detonate but, only find myself using it on large teams. I've used it in the past to detonate my lich so I could use the extraction for an AV fight.
I didn't bother with maneuvers and found with the lich slotted for -tohit I do alright. As far as AV fights go, make a mine field before the fight and lure them through. -
I have a level 50 Stone/Nrg Brute that I enjoy playing a lot. I run speed LGTFs and ITFs w/ no heavy problems. I was able to softcap everything but psi, the AoE stun is a godsend and I believe is what really keeps the toon alive. Nrg is great because of energy drain and conserve which makes running stone melee crazy smooth. I even tossed a +rech proc into fissure and tremor which helps energy drain recharge quickly.
-
Well I'd like to enter under best concept, as the rest of the titles holds little interest. Which is why I asked, its a given I would not be able to judge in that category. Still wanted to help in someway is all.

Quote:My current build has both fire shield and tough, he does great. Want to try something new really, I know how important a shield is for this combo since its mostly melee. Just dont know what to drop for a shield.Originally Posted by Novawulfe
No shield for def or resistence? crazy, but doable.... if you think you can survive without one, go ahead, but I would change a few things, and get a shield on him.
-
My Ill/TAs concept is he's a carnival illusionist, he uses archery as his slight of hand.
-
I'll help on either team, not sure which toon. I'll bring w/e balances out the team. Is either just a speed run?
-
I like the idea, need more details on rules though.
Like how many times can a person be chosen? Is it one toon for cc/theme per account? Villains/Heroes, etc, etc.
Judges from a wide group of people would be encouraged too, would like to help if my schedule allows. Would helping eliminate me from entering completely?
@Slax
LOL how often do you talk on speed teams, we kinda all know what to do
But yea Slax is a good leader -
I personally vote for TA as it synergies really well and is a lot of fun to play.
But for the concept you want, I have to agree with Konshu. Rad would fit the theme so much better. -
Haven't touched my Fire/Rads build for well over a year. Redoing him for an SG all rad event and came up with this build. I had tough and fire shield in my original build, made him sturdy. But wondering how he'd do like this since i could stack stuns. Posting my new build, feel free to rip it a new one. I want it crisp by this weekend
As a note I prefer superspeed as my travel power, open to changes, and I have a stealth proc in my sprint.

I made one for a few reasons.
I don't have a Psi Blast toon at 50, I've got at least one of every other blast set at 50 though.
I wanted a traps defender because I have both a traps corr and MM
Because I aint seen that combo as I've run around on all my toons.
I'm not worried about the damage being resisted endgame. I'll have fun being part of the minority and finally having all the blast sets at 50

No reason why it wouldn't be good. You probably don't see it often because it's one of those combinations that's hard to explain thematically.
