Tweaking FM/SD


Ars Valde

 

Posted

I searched through the forums unsuccessfully looking for basically the bleeding edge of current capability to IO a FM/Shields Character. I've been able to create one myself, but feel that I might be missing a few details to squeeze extra performance out of him.

This is my current iteration:

It finishes Defense Capped, 82% Passive Rech, 2000ish HP (With Accolades) but lacks a travel power outside Ninja Run (Acceptable to me).

Cost isnt really an issue, especially with the new H/V merit system, so I'm just curious if theres any sets that specifically alleviate how slot intensive acquiring defense is for the set so that I could squeeze a few more purples in, or +Rech in general

This is what I use. A little less recovery / resistance, more recharge and regen. I also have fireball in mine so a better mix of powers IMO. I think if you go body mastery, you should take Grant Cover as well. Otherwise, blaze mastery is the superior choice.

I was taking Body mastery for PP and the easy drop in of a Perf Proc in it, and Lazer for a Apoc set.

Also the lack of demand on slots. I notice you have no GFS in your build, any particular reason why? Was it to fit in Hasten/Something else?

Yet even without body mastery, my recovery doesn't really lag much behind yours.

Just personal preference. I suppose I could take GFS, but Incinerate hits almost as hard, and the chain I use is endurance efficient enough to take down pylons / AVs so I never needed to change. If I took GFS, I'd take it in place of Incinerate or Cremate.

What Im gathering from that build is that its okay to skimp on my Resistances to squeeze in more +Def and +Rech? Also Im not concerned about renegeration because Im going to rely more on greens from inspiration conversion.

Also how is your endurance? Blaze doesnt appeal to me because beyond SC and FSC for AoE I doubt Im going to need anything else, I was looking at Leviathan for the Waterspout and Hibernate for a quick oshit button though.

Yes I know, youre only .2 EPS behind, but that doesnt account for the 2 perf procs in my build giving me random +10 End. Either way the question was more related to: Do you get by on that going full blast?

You'd need to pop a small purple to softcap and I haven't moved the powers around to my liking, but here is a recharge-heavy build I was toying with this morning...

Yes, Mid's factors in those two procs. And yes, I can go full bore with that build without chugging blues. If I were to take body mastery, I wouldn't be content with the levels of recovery you're currently sporting. And fireball is completely worth it.

I see thank you. Is there anything in the Patron pools that you mightve been looking at in respecing your toon? Like I mentioned I had considered Leviathan for Hibernate and Waterspout (which would be great for AVs) and was curious on anyones feeling for that? Looking at your build I like it quite a bit though I would try to rework it for exemplaring if possible.

Thank you for your time Flechette
