Help with Defender build


Biospark

 

Posted

Ok....so it's been a couple of years since I played CoH. I'd like to work on getting my Emp/Elec defender up to snuff she's currently slotted old school b4 ED took effect. What I'd like is two builds one for healing/buffing(primary one) and the other to do some solo work. I know there are a lot people that really know this stuff and I'm asking for you're help. Where should I put slots and what enhancements should I use starting with just IO's and working my way to IO sets.

Thanks in advance to for any suggestions/advice.

Level 50 common IO build - some of the powers are slightly over ED-capped slotting but it's not a huge deal. Note: if you don't have Mids' Hero Designer, you're going to want to get it.

Noting that all the previous builds include stamina thought I'd add one that is Fitness and Stamina free. I find, particularly in a teaming Empath, Fitness is relatively painfree and easy pool to skip and allows one to open yet another power pool if desired, for instance Teleportation for Recall Friend. Intended for teaming the build has little in the way of defense relying on teammates, high regen (from aura), inspires etc. to stay upright in combat. Vengeance and Resurrect (and even Combat Jumping) are pretty much independent of the remainder of the build and can be freely moved around to suit ones tastes and/or swapped out for Recall Friend. If you have access to Ninja Run Super Speed also becomes much more optional as well. I would note however a stealth IO + Super Speed + Recall is a very solid task force "stealthing package" and won't work quite as well if Super Speed is dropped for something else.
