Duo Character?


Call Me Awesome

 

Posted

Hello, im curious about making a monster hunting team duo. My wife made an Ill/Rad Troller, and I made a Shield/BS scrapper. But to be honest I feel like im not doing as well for dmg as I should be. What would people recommend to make as another Monster Hunter with her? Another scrapper? Or another archetype? Any advice would be great..

Cheers,

Once both builds mature damage won't be a problem... I have both an Ill/Rad and a BS/Shield at 50, both have impressive damage and durability. The Ill/Rad was a very expensive build set for Perma-Phantom Army and is capable of soloing AV's... I haven't tried any GM's with it but others have had success.

The BS/Shield is extremely durable... close to medium end tanker level and provides massive damage. It's best against large numbers of mobs thanks to the damage buff of Against All Odds and the massive damage of Shield Charge... SC is up there with most Blaster Nukes for damage.

You'll have no problem with any content with that duo once they mature and you're able to IO them out... on SO enhancements they'll be good but with full IO set bonuses they'll be great.

What level are you now? Broadsword gets pretty good damage relatively early... in fact you get your third hardest hitting attack, Hack, at level 1. If you're feeling lacking in damage then you may need to adjust your build.

WEre Lvl 47 now, and i just seemed to take us forever to kill Jurassik. It went faster when I brought my Rad/Son defender, but i thought having a scrapper would make the fight go faster. I guess its all perception, they dont have set bonus's in them yet.

Jurassik makes sense, he's highly resistant to lethal damage... which happens to be what BS puts out. I don't remember for sure, but he may also have some resistance to Psi which is mainly what Ill puts out.

Different enemies will be easier or harder to take down with a given team... you just hit one who's on the "harder" end of the scale for your particular combination.

Jurassik's weak to smashing and if not weak at least not resistant to fire... I had a SG superteam of 6, Ill/Rad, Fire/Rad, Rad/Rad, Kin/Sonic, Kin/Sonic & Fire/Fire blaster who took him down in roughly 20-30 seconds. With only the two of you and with him resisting your damage it's no surprise it took awhile.

I think there's prolly a ton of ideas out there but if you're just wanting fire power, why not go blaster? Most people say blasters put out more dps anyways. A couple ideas i have are below.

Fire, of course has awesome damage. Build for rech for Inferno, RoF and Fireball.

Archery, Rain of Arrows is nice damage and alot faster rech and no crash. Every 16 seconds is nice.

Maybe a Fire/Fire scrapper for damage. It prolly puts out more dps than BS/SD and less resisted.

Could also go with another troller set like Fire/Rad or Fire/Sonic for extra damage and debuffs.

Im not sure of the damage of Illusion but would a 2nd Ill troller put out enough? 2 perma PA's, 2 main pets and 2 of their hencemen.. that's like 10 pets. Maybe throw in a /kin on the 2nd one for addition speed, FS, end and heals. Sounds yummmy to me.
