Make my Cold/Sonic perfect.


Auroxis

 

Posted

My Cold/Sonic is one of my most used characters for TFs so I'm looking to make the build as good as it can get. I'm aware of the upcoming changes to Fitness, but I'm still going to respec, because when the change hits I'm going to swap the Fitness pool for Assault (no slots needed), Vengeance (no slots needed) and Siren's Song (taking slots from Stamina, I have almost perma Heat Loss).

So, being slightly more accurate, I'm looking for the maximum amount of buff/debuff while still bringing in respectable damage and being able to survive quite easily. The build I put together is 3% away from being soft capped to S/L/E, and in most TF teams there is someone who can give me that 3%. I didn't pick Infrigidate because I dislike the fact that it's single target and took Snow Storm instead. Basically I'm just planning to use Web Envelope > Sleet > Howl > Snow Storm on most spawns and then switch to pummeling the boss with single target sonics. I also picked the pet from Mace because I can buff it to be quite survivable and debuff enemies enough to make it effective, and I have enough recharge to have it up over 80% of the time.

For anyone who wants to give it a go, anything goes except PvP IOs and expensive purples.

Pretty much, yeah.

I'm going to swap Fitness pool as follows:

Swift -> Assault. Only need the base slot in both.
Health -> Vengeance. Again, only the base slot is needed.
Stamina -> Siren's Song. Going to move the three slots from Stamina here and one slot from either Fly or Sleet in order to 5 slot the purple set.

This gets me a bit closer to perma HL which currently I think has about 20 second downtime while not completely ruining my Endurance when it is down. The change should also be quite cheap, because I'm most likely going to put a straight Defense IO or a Karma -KB into Vengeance (already have 5x LoTG +rech), an Endurance IO into Assault and I already have the purple sleep set built.

Took your build and changed a lot of stuff around, made it for i19(Stamina slots are in Rest). Softcapped to S/L/E, Hasten very close to perma.
