Katana / WP Build

I am working on a Kat / WP build that I hope can function as a boss / AV killer. After taking a look at Werner's build and a few others, I came up with the below. I am more than open to any suggestions that any would have. Thus far, it has been a really fun toon to play through 38, even before IO's. Is this going to give me the tools to complete Scrapper Challenges and such?

My thanks,

Hak

At quick glance, before even saying check out some of the builds I posted, I'd say add the Achilles Heel proc to Gambler's cut. Find room for it.

In more than just a glance:

I can't say I agree with your power choices at all. You've got stealth 5 slotted and a bunch of red fortune sets everywhere. I know it gives you positional defenses at six slots, but it's just not worth it in a WP build. For WP, you want to go for typed defenses, and more specifically F/C/E/N. With Divine Avalanche you'll be able to knock out Melee and Lethal defense as well, which will make you quite the force to reckon with.

You skipped both of your AoE attacks, this is going to make you feel meaningless on most teams.

Even if you're going for a cheap build, I'd still drop Stealth, Resurgence and pick up Flashing Steel and The Lotus Drops. Katana doesn't need much in terms of recharge for its attacks, and WP needs none, so you don't have to worry about losing that either.

If you want to check out some of my high end builds I'd say look in my guide.

Yeah, you can switch around a lot of your bonuses and get better ones elsewhere. For example, here's the build I currently use. You'll get A LOT more use out of slotting Aegis in your toggles, and for less slots as well.

I'm having many of the same problems as the OP. I've been looking at your guide too, Mojo. I'm right in the middle of trying to figure how I'm gonna fix this toon. I made the same mistake as most do at first and went for positional over typed.

I don't have a ton of inf so I can't afford the LOTG's or Numina sets. I already have a Steadfast and full set of GSFC's. I was hoping you could recommend some cheaper sets to get me moving.

Any advice for this build too? )

Again, I am just starting to redo this build so that's why it looks a bit lopsided at the moment.

Ok, I messed around with it a bit more and came up with this...I'm seriously missing some slots from some of my toggles and I think I may have to drop the set of GSFC's and reduce the slotting in Build Up to fix that.

Other than that, how does it look so far? I know it has a ways to go...

If it helps, I'm currently sitting on about 200 million inf, I PvE and team. No PvP at all.

My main concern for this build is the damage output...it seems that I'll be reducing my output by quite a bit since most of the slotting focus is going to typed def.

Thank, Mojo! That does look a lot better. I feel like I'm at least getting a bit closer now.

When you say "drastic changes" do you mean IO sets, power selection and slotting or just all of the above? lol

I'm just trying to get a better understanding of /WP in general. Even in his half arsed Standard IO/IO set build, he's pretty awesome right now so I can't wait to see how it goes when I know a bit more about what I'm doing! lol

Also, your guide has been very helpful...thanks again for taking the time!

No problem, when I say drastic changes I mean the amount of influence and the actual inventions going in to the set. I could try and draw one up if you like, but by the time you get to that point you might as well try something similar to one of our other builds.

Thanks to all the folks that gave me a hand. I am going to try some of the advice here and see how it works for me.

Thanks again.

Hak

I've tried lobbying for divine avalanche and parry to have smashing and lethal defense, instead of just lethal defense. That would make it blend with the IO defense sets and willpower more seemlessly.

That would help me ...

Here is my build now with some of the suggestions given:

Mids figures that with DA single stacked, I should go defensewise:

S: 28.3
L: 51.1
E: 45.1
N: 45.1
P: 34.4
F: 47
C: 47

Melee: 46.2
Range: 38.8
AoE: 28.5

In addition, I should have a 770% Regen rate, although my HP may not be as high as others.

Have at and thanks again for all the help

Hak

I wish you luck getting that Gladiator's 3% def, Hakkenden. They are one of the most expensive things on the market right now.

Mojo's slotting of Golden Dragonfly (4 oblits, 2 scirrroco's) might make up in some ways if you remove the gladiator's.
