Help on a PB Build

kahuna1 · 01-09-2010 02:01 AM

Hello all you lovely people!

Recently, I've decided that my primary hero character is going to be a Peacebringer. I love them!!! However, I've also been struck with this idea that works in my brain that might not actually work out in real life. Hence, my plea for advice. As I do plan to make this toon my main, I plan to spend as much influence as necessary to "uber" him out. So naturally, please do not let costs factor into your advice (unless I'm spending unnecessary inf). So, without further ado, I present the Kahuna plan for a Triform Peacebringer:

My idea is to create the whole "Jack-of-all-trades but master of none" situation. I do plan to spend the vast majority of time teaming, so I intend to fill whatever role the team appears to be lacking. My human form will function as a Pseudo-Support character, offering buffs and heals to teammates while accepting that it does little in any other area. And of course, Nova for damage and Dwarf for tanking. As far as set bonuses go, I tried to split my focus between Hit-Points, Recharge, Recovery and Regeneration- I guess I figured that since I would be having so many roles that those generic bonuses would work well. How else can I optimize this build? Anything I should change? Any and all advice is appreciated. (I apologize if there is already a post like this, but I trawled for a while and couldn't find any builds like this for me to look at)

Thanks a ton!

I see a problem with the human part of your build, assuming you plan on actually using it as any more than a 'drop to when needed' form.

Having only 2 powers of any use is going to mean you don't have much to do in human form (And thus be really bored!). Also with the cast time of Aid Other you can actually wait for Glowing Touch to recharge and cast it with time to spare, so you don't really need it.

To compensate I would remove 5 slots from Aid Other, 5 from Nova, 2 from Dwarf, 3 from Combat Flight and get some attack powers. That will at least give you something to do when nobody needs healing.

Interesting thoughts! I'd never even considered that...and you are absolutely right about Aid Other. Let me see what I can come up with...

kahuna1 · 01-09-2010 03:17 PM

Alrighty! May I present, the new and (I hope) improved Kahuna Triform PB!!!

I didn't want to sacrifice quite as many slots as suggested (Primarily for set bonus reasons but also because I wasn't sure where to put them) so I came up with a fairly happy compromise! Glow-Worm's Arsenal now consists of two more attack powers! Woohoo! I just sacrificed Grant Invisibility and Stamina which were iffy choices for me in the first place.

Is this more playable? All advice is appreciated!
