TA/A Defender

Gaheris · 11-17-2010 04:50 PM

Ok, this is my very first defender that I've ever tried to make. I have a lvl 50 Corruptor version of this toon already, slotted similarly but still a little different. I was fine with it until I looked at the Defender's debuff numbers, and after realizing the damage isn't that far apart from the two ATs, I decided I wanted to reroll her as the hero version.

I usually slot for +def on my ranged toons, but since /TA is all clickies I went for a sort of +rech build with some +dmg to augment a fender's lower numbers, and I thought assault would help too. Am I overlooking anything vital? Meant for both teaming and solo, although teaming is preferred.

Both Flash and Poison Gas Arrow are being taken way, way too late. The debuff on these is fairly sizeable and WONDERFUL for soloing and team play. Why are you leaving them for so long?

Why aid other and aid self?

Ok, I moved around those powers to pick them earlier. Aid Self is there simply 'cuz I like self heals. But say I drop it, what do you think would be a suitable replacement? Perhaps Stealth and Grant Invisiblity? Nothing else is popping out at me...

Considering how much aggro flash arrow gives, aid self is definitely not a bad idea.

Gaheris

Stealth and grant invisibility might be ok if you're willing to replace them, but you could also think about Maneuvers and Assault. Both of them (the leadership and stealth pools) are going to bring things to the team, as well as providing you personally with something beneficial.

Fair point, and I did like the way Aid Self had many more slots than Aid Other in the original build.

Has anybody tried using Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage in Glue Arrow? Does it have a chance to proc against all tagets caught in the glue, or just the original target?

It can proc on anyone in the Glue.

I've also created a TA/A Defender. This was my planned build.

I've put a few slots in rest to allow for the I19 updates. Note that I have not taken a travel power for concept reasons.

Presumably that also applies to Pacing of the Turtle : Chance of - Recharge?

This has not been my experience at all. Flash arrow gives aggro when inserted with a proc, otherwise even in instances where the debuff "puts you on the list" its seldom enough to take priority over any other available target to mobs. Coupled with the -perception, Flash arrow in itself never seems to generate any Alfa unless you see targeting drones.
