New Tankermind Prospect?

Zeh_Masteh · 04-02-2010 11:01 PM

So I woke up this morning with the sudden urge to have flaming zombies. After making the character and looking through the stats, I realized: necro/therm makes for a *really* sturdy build!

Unenhanced, my zombies get about 33% Smashing Resist. After doing a bit of research, I realized that I can get up to about 70% Smashing resistance, 60% fire resist (the usual zombie killer), and roundabout 45% to everything else.

Add to that the healing factors that /therm will give, and you've got yourself a Tankermind!

I did a real quick Mid's build (lol and by quick I mean 2 hour: being a first-time user, it took me 20 mins to realize I had to right-click to slot anything -_-), building mostly for HP, regen, end, and recovery (just a preference)

The plan is the keep Forge on the Grave Knights (a reason why I don't have them slotted for much accuracy), run into the mob and keep debuffing/spamming heal.

Assuming my altoholism doesn't kick in again and I reroll into something else, I should have major tanking and AV soloing capabilities when all's said and done.

I didn't document the numbers like you, but now that you have, it makes me like the combo of Necro/Therm even more. I already have one in the mid-20s and its been a blast

However, with Demons coming anytime now, I realize sadly I will succomb along with the masses and roll one, and figured I will probably just go Demon/Thermal for flaming demons. If however, I end up not liking Demons much I will go back to Necro. Both are hopefully good for tankermind'ing which I plan to do

I thought set bonuses for resistance don't apply to henchmen?

They don't. Just the specific IOs for resist and def will affect. Resists do apply before bodyguard though.

Madam_Enigma · 04-13-2010 02:39 PM

Was wondering, because it sounds like the OP was factoring in set bonuses for resistance when calculating the henchmen resistance values.

OP, you want to export from Mids using the Titan boards format to clean up the post. No biggies, FYI for next time.

Noted and learned... won't make that mistake again.

Thanks for the input guys! (Oh, and as for the topic of DS, I don't really like reusing sets, and I've pretty much already decided that DS/TA will be the way for me

Is it definitely the case that "Power of the Phoenix" or other rez abilities won't work on dead pets?

Correct; no rez powers work on pets.
