Crab build with capped def and good recharge

Vysires · 04-01-2011 06:54 PM

So I've got a SoA who is almost 50, haven't quite pushed him all the way up yet. Right now he's running a Huntsman build and a Bane build. I was thinking of switching one of those builds to crab at 50, not sure which. Likely the Huntsman since a Crab build would be pretty close. I've had a lot of trouble getting a crab build that has everything I want though, but I think I've mostly got something workable. Here is the plan I have at this point.

So the idea/requirements I have for what I want is pretty close to capped Def, tough to fill out SL Resist, I want the 2 pet powers. I want Arctic Breath and Bile Spray. I want Hasten. I want as much recharge as I can get within those constraints. The above build has most everything I want. The main points it's lacking on are no travel power, not much recovery, and not quite as much recharge as I would hope. But I figured I would check to see if anyone has ideas I've missed. I'm planning on running with Musculature Alpha, I know Cardiac would help end, but the extra damage Musc would give to me, my pets, and eventually the other incarnate powers makes it worth it IMO.

So what I'm looking for is ideas to squeeze out a bit more recovery or recharge without loosing too much of whats already there.

edit: just read another thread on crabs, and realized I had missed the fact that Titanium Coating gave Melee def, so I could potentially pull all the slots from boxing move 3 over to Tough, put 6 Titanium Coating in Tough, then put the extra slots in Stamina for the proc, and longfang to grab a 5 slot decimation. That trade looses 4% AoE Def, and a bit of max hps, for 6.25% recharge, +2.25% max end, and about 0.2eps from the proc in Stamina. Not sure which is better.

Of all the defense, AoE is the one you have to worry about the least, since I don't think there are any critters out there that just spam AoE's.

Not sure if it will help you or not, but I'm leaving my own Crab Spider build here modified a touch to get what you wanted.

Softcapped positionally to everything, although AoE just barely makes it. Has all the powers you wanted, and has Hasten just shy of perma.
