Claws/Elec Build.

WarCold · 08-31-2010 06:30 PM

I was wondering If someone could make me a Claws/Elec Brute build using Mids. I'm not very skilled at creating builds, so you'd be doing me a huge favor. Thank you.

Thank you for the build, but I don't understand which part of the post I'm supposed to highlight. I haven't seen a Mid's build on a forum like this before.

Thanks for taking the time to post that.

How much would something like that cost? Just curious.

Also, I notice a couple of things, I would like some context on

1) You take swipe over strike, and I am curious because most guides (they could be old) indicate the opposite.

2) You do not take Eviscerate? Is there a particular reason? Wouldn't that hurt AOE damage, or is it crappier in reality than on paper?

3) You do not take Power Surge. I am reluctant to skip a T9 without reason. What gives with that one?

Thanks!!!

That build will easily cost billions. It is what i plan on doing for my claws electric but it is a long ways off.

I take swipe cause its cast time is less than a second, which means you can do another attack to build fury.

I had eviscrate in the original build, but was told to drop it for shockwave becasue it is a better AoE. Eviscrate has a very long animation, although it does deal good damage, it actually slows down your DPS.

You could take power surge to level with, but once you have defense as high as this build has on top of your resistance, it isn't needed.

1. Per Billz's The Results Are In thread, unless you go for the insane recharge, your top DPS chain will be Followup-focus-slash-swipe-strike-swipe for roughly 149 damage per second under the pre i18 fury rules.

But at the time claws didn't exist for brutes so that was an estimate based on the scrapper powers.

The top scrapper chain is/was follow up-slash-focus-strike

Would love to know what is top for brutes right now myself. =)

2. The only AoE you need is Spin. It's not that Eviscerate is bad, but it is slow and not even close to as good as Spin. Think of it this way, Super Strength is considered one of the top AoE sets on the strength of only one attack: the tier 9 footstomp. Spin is almost as good and we get it at level 6. F$%^& Eviscerate.

3. Many people skip Power Surge for two reasons: first, the crash will kill you. It not only drops your endurance, but sets your HP to 1% or something close to that. So a fly could sneeze and you die. Second, it is not needed. With a well built /elec, if you pop a medium orange you have almost the same numbers as if power surge was running, but no crash.

As far as cost, rough estimate is 6-7 billion.

The gladiator's armor 3% def regularly moves for 3 to 4 billion all by itself and you have to be lucky to find one available at all. Do note that one character cannot hold more than 2 billion inf at a time. Yes It really is that expensive. If you put a bid into the market for 2 billion you will join a line of over 200 other bids for 2 billion. They get filled in a semi-random order. Less than 3 of the recipe show up per week, so good luck getting one "on the cheap".

10 other IOs (Gambler recharge, Kinetic combat triples, numina, miracle) are in the 150 to 250 million range so that's another 1.5 to 2.5 billion. I recommend getting these via hero/villain merits.

The Full Oblit sets will run you about 200 to 300 million each and the build uses two sets there, we'll call it half a billion.

The other 3 pieces of kinetic combat will cost you 40 to 80 million if you're patient (each) and you need 5 full sets = total 1.8 billion.

The rest is not that bad. Assuming you skip the gladiator's armor and use villain merits for the 10 most expensive, the only hard part is the kinetic combats.

Thanks for the responses.

However, I am still confused about this one, strike isn't in the posted build I was questioning. Are you saying that one needs both(because that is how you do the chain you posted?)

I am confused as well and its my build haha. The only want i would think you could get all of them is drop shockwave and pick up strike or swipe, whichever you dont ahve. I had been having strike in the build, but read somewhere that swipe is a better attack due to its shorter animation time. Anyway, if someone could post what attacks to take as this is my first claws character as well (i just play with mids alot and have like 40 builds for different stuff haha). Thanks
