CactusBrawler

Okay first serious hero character, mostly played villians in the past and monstly brutes.

Hit 14 about an hour ago and couldn't figure out what to choose as a power.

So off I went to Mid's to see if I could come up with abuild.

Chose stuff based on current playstyle and what the numbers suggested would happen.

Got the build to 30 and then hit a wall no idea what to take.

Below is the build any critiscm and helpful suggestions would be awesome.

IO sets will be out of my range for quite awhile and something to add after I actually get a steady flow of influence.

IOs would also be the current level I can slot assuming I can get them, no more than two versions out of date.

My little bit of advice to you is, the amount of accuracy you have in your attacks is overkill for anything but a PvP build designed to land hits on the high end of the defense cap. For a PvE build 2 is more than enough unless you are fighting like +5's on a regular basis.

Me personally with Broadsword I use FA and Tactics 3 slotted with to-hits and so can drop to 1 acc with 3 damage and 2 recharge in the big 3, hack, disembowel and headsplitter, to ensure this small chain cycles as fast as possible with no extra redraw than necessary. As my toon is a regen the heals put away the sword and it can get annoying if you throw in attacks that put it away also, so my aim was an all broadsword attack chain with the highest sustainable damage. The good point about being bs/regen is I can get away with the attack slotting and running both the to-hit powers as well as assault what with 3 slotted QR, stamina and conserve power from the epic pool for emergencies(AV fights/PvP/end drain etc). Also I have the option of turning off the more expensive FA for 99% of all PvE and so conserve isn't needed at all then. Something to think about for the future I guess as you will also have these kind of options with QR and Stamina at your disposal.

(Looking at willpower with its higher amount of toggles, on thinking about it I would try 1 acc, 3 dam, 1 rech and 1 end redux, if going the tactics and FA route and go from there.)

Thanks will redesign once I get this stupid present badge :P

Indeed, my usual slotting is 3 Damage, 1 Acc, 1 Rech, 1 End- but there are many variations such as Rage or Transference that affect this.
