THE Destined One Hits 50!

My Bane hit 50 last night! Although Lord Recluse calls all the VEATS "a possible Destined One", he recently e-mailed me and said MY Bane was his favorite and was THE Destined One. He then offered to sell me a LOT of Infamy for quite reasonable rates. What a guy! lol

Seriously, it's been an interesting ride with Bwana Devil. I started him as a Crab 2 years ago, when VEATS were first introduced, as part of a ST on Justice. When the team disbanded, he was level 30 and, as I found out, not much fun to solo (he did a little damage to a LOT of targets, who got really angry and shot back). I shelved him for a year or so, until I decided to use my Dual Build option to try out a BANE, despite reading less-than-enthusiastic reviews on them.

What a difference! I love playing him as a single-target melee assassin, and the damage he puts out is great. I was surprised to find last night that, of my 5 level 50s, he was my fastest to hit 50 (129 hours). Although levels 1-30 were teams, level 30+ was exclusively solo. I think that's because I stealthed through a lot of missions, stopping only to fight oranges/reds/purples whenever possible.

Below is my final build. I spent a lot of time on IOs, focussing exclusively on +DEF, which really paid off. With unsupressed Cloaking Device, he's over the softcap to all. Surpressed, he's over for Ranged and just under for AOE and Melee.
