Need a good build...

For a Bots/FF.

Mainly for Soloing/Farming.

Notes:
* Level 32.
* Would prefer to NOT have any of the 3 Bots pistol abilities.
* Would prefer to have 6 slotted superjump.
* Can pretty much only afford the university style IO's.

* Would be snazzy if you included the level 50 version of the build, so i know where to go once i start leveling.

P.S. My Endurance seriously needs some love.

Level 32, check
No Bots mastermind pistol attacks, check
SIX SLOTTED Super Jump? What do you slot in all those slots?? You get max jumping in 2 SO/IOs of Leaping. The endurance cost is minimal.
Generic IOs are fine. Tweak out your FF when you hit 50.

Did you take stamina? It's not mandatory on a Bots/FF. You will need to slot your robot upgrades for endurance. Did you take Aid Other? That could use some endurance reduction, too.


Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

I'm pretty much clueless, hence the post, so I'll basically respec into whatever people-who-know-what-they're-doing determine to be a good soloing type Bots/FF build.

Rather than post a build, I'll offer some advice.

bots-take all three bots, both upgrades. You can take repair, but I'd suggest taking aid other since with a heavy defense base you'll have an easier time firing it off. 2-3 accuracy and 3 damages in all bots, with a def buff in the protector bots. For the upgrades put 1-2 end redux

FF-Take force bolt (you have no choice in the matter anyway). Deflection shield, insulation shield and dispersion bubble. 3 defense 1-2 end redux in all three

Power pools-
Fitness-hurdle (1 jump enh), health (3 health) stamina (3end mods)
leaping combat jumping (1 def), super jump (1 jump) acrobatics (1 end mod)
leadership manuvers (3 def buff, 1-2 end redux) tactics (3 to hit buff, 1-2 end redux)
medicine aid other (2 heal, 2 inter redux, 1 end redux, 1 rec rdux) aid self (see aid other)

Patrons-I would go with mace mastery for scorpion shield (more defense) and power boost. Hit power boost and start bubbling your minions and the bubbles will be even stronger.

This will leave you with a glut of slots left over, which I guess you could use if you start getting set IO's.

Why jumping (specifically acrobatics)? In Dispersion Bubble you get hold\immob\disorient protection...all you need is KB protection and you're covered. If you go with hover, that covers that nicely and no need to pick up acrobatics. Or if you insist on something else besides hover, you can spend ~5mil and pick up a KB protection IO and put it in combat jumping (or dispersion bubble....though taking hover seems cheaper to me).

Everything else makes sense to me...I just don't see why acrobatics is needed.

Should I also go with a Bots/FF Mastermind?

I would like to solo, and team up with this toon.

I'm open to other MM builds.

Note - This will be my first MM, EVAR. So I am not that knowledgeable about them. T_T

A few reasons:

1) Does dispersion bubble give knockback protection (I don't know..)
2) Ran out of powers
3) habit

He wanted superjump, CJ provides a bit more defense and then acro is another pick. He stated he wanted university style IO's, so I decided to ignore any other IO's.

personal preference is I don't like hover, but like I said there's no real great reason for acro.

I'm not a huge fan of /FF. Its a one trick pony (that does its trick VERY well).

I prefer traps and dark, I'm now running a /thermal MM and I'm closing in on Forge.

Nope it doesn't. If you want to go jumping that's cool, but I wouldn't pick up acrobatics. I'd just slot KB protection into combat jumping and don't bother with acrobatics. That would free up a power option too .
