looking for electric/shield leveling guide/advice


Bullet Barrage

 

Posted

So i thought an electric/shield scrapper would be fun. I found a guide for it, but it only shows how to enhance with io's etc.

I'm looking for advice on how to level this beast and what to slot with bought level 5-50 training enhancements untill i get to 50 and buy ios and such for the build i found.

I suggest testing To/SO/DO build sin mids.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

check out Fury's thread here, lots of great advice and build templates for both fire/shield and elec/shield.

as far as SO or Single Origin enhancements are concerned, you can start slotting them after 22, slot both shield charge and lightning rod 1 acc, 3 dmg and 2 recharge.
All other attacks 1-2 acc, 3 dmg and 1 end redux. 1 end redux and 3 def for deflection and battle agility, 1 end redux in against all odds, 1 recharge in active defense. true grit probably just 3 health if u can fit them in.

Training Origins, Dual origins, single origins, and a link to Mid's hero designer..

Yea, Fury's thread has alot of great builds, and the cheap ones really get the job done. As a shielder it really wouldn't hurt to start playing with IO sets early, I wouldn't wait until 50. Every bit of added defense you can get will make you just that much more sturdy. And really, there are plenty of cheap IO sets that you could put together in your attacks that will greatly enhance your playtime. At the least I would slot Crushing Impacts in all your attacks, you can start putting those sets together at 30, they're super cheap, and a 5-slot set will increase your HP's, Accuracy and Recharge...not shabby at all.

Don't let a budget hold you back, head to the market board here and read a few posts, there are quite a few quick and easy ways to make inf in this game if your smart about it.

Good luck.
