Quote:The most S/L resistance I could get was around 30%. When I was making an Invol/SS I got it up to 68%. I guess Ice just isn't even worth it at all sadly.Originally Posted by Mercury_Down
SS is still the best tanker secondary around for zone or duels. Slotting for ranged defense on an Ice tank is not going to get very far since Ice Armors are typed defense not positional and as such your elusivity is typed as well.
Building for smash/lethal is your best bet all around but if you are going to fightclub S/L is really all you need (55% def is what you should shoot for but getting all of them up there can be a challenge while maintaing a decent build.) If you are going to spend time in zones then also get as much energy/negative and psi def as you can.
Hp and Recharge, taunt, some ranged attacks and you are set. -
And I would match Ice with SS?
-
I have had every type of account under the sun so it seems.
But I have always wanted to roll an interesting tanker build.
I don't think I'm interested in an WP/SS because everyone and their mom has that build.
Does anyone know if Stone/, or Ice/ can be good in PvP? Of course with the right IOs?
I really want an interesting tank build.
I'm open to any advice! -
earth/fire
or
fire/fire? -
Is /earth assault any good?
-
I have been contemplating a new Dom build for quite some time.
However an appropriate build for this new issue confuses me.
Im sure most of you will say Mind/Fire is the best. Are there any builds that rank up there with Mind/Fire?
Views? -
/Storm seems powerful but can it compare to Poison?
-
Yeah it's a good build. You are going to find it hard to find most of the IO's you are looking for though.
-
Thats a good point. I guess I just like unusual build. The other day I saw a great Stone/Invul brute. And a great DM/SD Brute. Just not sure which route to go.
-
For a while I have been thinking of a new, unique Brute build to come across. I am tired of seeing the same old SS/Fire and SS/WP. I understand they are superb, but maybe something else can come close with the right amount of cash.
Here are my options:
SS/Elec
SS/EA (always been curious about EA)
Fire/Elec
Fire/EA
I kind of want to go Fire/ too. But it doesn't have Rage. And it would do like 13 damage on most tanks as opposed to 200 since they are SS/Fire. I have about 10 bill to spend on this little guy.
If you know any good, unique brute builds hit me upp! -
MA/Regen is pretty beastly. Although it's quite common.
-
/Kin is quite fun in PvE. But in PvP, it doesnt meet expectations. Kins powers are primarily meant to help the team.
/Rad can be quite good. If slotted correctly, you can beat one of the best tanks. But since most of them are toggles, they can be knocked off (depending on the opponent). I would actually go with /Thermal if I were you. To me it's the best corr secondary. A long with /Dark -
Hmm. The only thing I would say is to either replace SJ was SS or take out tactics and get SS. Because blasters love to webnade.
You are also going to be using a lot of end. If you have all the toggles on while using your attack powers...you will loose all your end quickly. -
Interesting build. The problem I have with the Battle Axe, and War Mace and what not is that they use a lot of end. And if you choose to duel someone it'll be difficult for you to sustain the endurance you need to win. I also don't understand your slotting on some things. WP is great, if it is heavily IO'd.
-
Mind/ is the best...
-
Which of these would be the BEST for PVP? I like that I could be real cheap with Arch/Dev. But Sonic/EM seems quite powerful. Im not sure how /MM holds up in PvP. I PvP in SC.
-
So the best dueling wise would be..?
-
Im not sure about Banes, but I have a level 50 widow fully IO'd for defence and it is pretty decent. I can kill pretty much any blaster and scrap.
-
So I guess I should stick with SS then?
-
Below is my Fire/Elec brute. I made it for Sirens Call. What do yo u think?

Ok, so Fire/ on a Brute is good? I dont think I have really ever seen anything but SS/ and DM/. But I guess if you IO it out enough, it can be decent.
If /EA is slotted enough and what not, could it be playable in PvP or will that be like not having a secondary as well? -
I always wanted a playable Brute in PvP, but I'm not sure which build to go for. I really would like to stray away from the classic SS/WP or SS/Fire. But who knows...
Anyone know a good Brute build?
Thanks! -
I have a grav/elec dom. But the activation times on the powers are far too long. I die quickly dueling a blaster. Maybe it's because my combo is off, i'm not sure.
-
So fire/ or mind/?
Yikes! -
I'm thinking about either rolling a Mind/ or Fire/ dom. I would rather slide away from the Mind/Fire build.
This is what I'm thinking:
Mind/Thorny
Mind/Psi
Fire/Elec
Which one would be top notch for PvP. Well, for Sirens.
