What is the latest MA/SR build guide?

I checked the sticky, but a lot of them seem rather old. Is it that the power set hasn't changed in a while?

While I'm on it, is there a PVP build guide for the MA/SR set? TIA for your help!

Hi, for PvP builds it's much better to ask in the PvP section. Most guides are PvE focused, and the PvP rules have been very different than the PvE ones since i13 (totally crappy if you want my opinion, but that's another subject). So the advices you'll get here PvE wise wont be valid for PvP. Good luck and have fun

Ok, thank you! I just returned to the game and saw I could make a second build, could that be used, for say, PVP (last PVP question, I swear! )?

MA/SR in a nutshell:


SR:
Get the first 8 SR powers, plus Tough & Weave from the Fighting Pool. Get Elude to level with. Slot for DEF; no slots on LR, +1 slot on PB (END + RECH). Not a lot to figure out here.

Use I/O's to softcap your positional DEF (ie 45% DEF Melee, AoE, Ranged), respec to get rid of Elude entirely, everything else remains the same.

Some DEF is useless, lots of DEF is mighty, so don't try to skimp out on your secondary.



MA: You need Storm Kick, Focus Chi, and Dragon's Tail. The other attacks come down to personal preference. You'll have another melee attack from the Fighting Pool. Leaning on Lightning Reflexes and I/O set bonuses for global RECH, or slotting a RECH in each attack, you wont need a lot of attacks to put together a solid chain. With fewer total attacks you can afford to 6 slot every attack without gimping your support abilities.


You'll want the Fitness Pool for Stamina (as usual). Take the Epic and Travel Pool of your choice. Combat Jumping or Hover help add some more DEF, you don't really need Hasten, and TP does nothing to help you in combat, so you know how that goes...

Some people like Aid Self for SR to give you a click heal as well (the low probability of getting hit with high DEF allows you to use it in combat). Personally I prefer to pick up as much spare +Regen as I can easily scrape up from I/O sets, Health, and Physical Perfection as I prefer a more aggressive play style and don't want to stop in mid-fight to band-aid my boo-boos. YMMV. Either way, not getting hit very often plus good healing makes for a very survivable character.
