Dual Blades/Stone build for critique


BlissfulChaos

 

Posted

This is an I19 respec plan for Strataslicer, my Dual Blades/Stone brute. This build is intended to run in Granite all the time. If I have to drop down below L33 for some reason, I have a secondary build for that. It also has Spiritual Total Radial Revamp selected for the alpha slot, which I'm only a few shards away from obtaining.

Highlights:

  • Defense softcap for Smash/Lethal
  • Close to defense softcap for Fire/Cold (43.1%) and Energy/NegEnergy (36.9%)
  • 70.7% smash/lethal resist
  • 58% fire/cold resist
  • 53% Energy/NegEnergy resist
  • 450% Regen with Rooted
  • 206% End Recovery
  • 42% accuracy bonus from sets
  • 72.5% recharge bonus from sets

Weaknesses:
  • Very slow normal movement (1.4 mph run speed with Rooted, 12.9 without). I can live with this because I like Teleport anyway, but if you're not a Teleport person, you probably want to find a place for some +run speed.
  • Not quite enough recharge to make Earth's Embrace permanent while staying in Granite. If you get some outside help from Speed Boost/AM/etc, it'll probably put you over the top.
  • Minimal psionic defense and resist. You'll want some buffs to help against psionic AVs. The most important thing is +recharge, to keep Earth's Embrace up.
  • Lots of end usage due to all the toggles. Granite + Tough + Weave + Maneuvers + Tactics + Mud Pots is a lot of endurance, not to mention adding Rooted when necessary.
  • Spendy. A lot of these IOs aren't cheap. The 5 Hecatombs are the obvious culprit...I only included that because I already have 4 of them. You could drop down to Mako's Bite or something instead. The 5 LotG global recharge take either a lot of cash or a lot of time spent running tips for Hero/Villain merits, the Miracle/Numina's uniques are expensive, and Obliteration sets aren't the cheapest things you'll find either.

I'm looking for feedback on the build in general...is there anything I'm missing to help with the weaknesses? I'm not overly concerned about the expense, although I'm not going to be adding any more purple sets. But it would be nice to find a way to pull out a bit more recharge and psionic resist, and maybe end recovery, if I can do it without sacrificing what I already have.

only a couple of small tweaks from what im seeing
-you can trade out one of those EA's in stamina/PP for the PS +end proc
-rearrange some of those IOs b/c almost every attack has little..if any..end reduc

otherwise..very impressive numbers across the board

Point well taken about the end use. I've revamped the plan pretty significantly with that in mind, as well as added some more run speed. Changed my mind about depending solely on Teleport to get around. The build is no longer at any of the defense caps but it only needs a small purple to hit the cap for non-psionic typed damage, or two to cap to positional.
