Cheap /SD Soft Cap?

Posted

Have read a lot of this forum but never posted myself till now.

I'm after some help to find the cheapest way to soft cap a /SD build.

I am able to get 43% on the 3 types with the SD power choices plus Tough weave maneuvers and CJ plus adding a Steadfast and a full set of Gaussians. I'm not sure if this is the cheapest way to do it though. Would be paired with DM so Aid self is not needed.

I am a six month vet with no blue side 50 so finances are very low, ss/wp 50 on red side but that doesn't help.

My main focus is to soft cap for AV solo's on the cheap. Lack of finances isn't a real concern as i was considering a SD/DM tank to make the soft cap easy but felt that the lost damage would not make it viable for AV soling.

Here's a quick build that I did that should be purchasable with a character's own leveling earnings. I deleted the character this build was intended for, so it was never used or even refined, but it may provide some ideas or perhaps even a starting point.
