I'd love a spine/elec build with S/L softcaped and perma hasten.

I'm trying for a long time on MHD but I can't succeed on it ...

This requires either barrier or the seer pet with fort to reach softcap, or handily exceeds with both. And yes, two damage auras and all that AOE is gonna be SICK.

Build: Spines/electric
Price: Very high, if you get the Glad with merits, Infinite otherwise
Build goals: Softcapped S/L, permahasten, perma energize
Build weaknesses: Will have to use power siphon often, no taunt aura, ranged toxic, ow
Incarnate: YES, requires Spiritual and either Barrier T4 or Seer T4

This is another infinite price build that I think could still be tweaked quite a bit.

I wanted to see if I could get a Sword/Electric powerset that had both good damage and pretty good survivability. I chose Katana for the sexiness.

I managed to get perma-hasten and near perma Energize with the spiritual core T4, which I went for since I was good on endurance with Powersink and Energize. With one DA (which is sadly underslotted) I have softcap to Lethal and close to softcap melee. One luck softcapped all but fire/cold/psy damage (though positionals will be close). Also, Shadow Meld brings everything to around 50-60% and has a downtime of only 8 seconds. Between Barrier and SM I have decent defense at all times. If I use lucks to keep myself above 45%, I'd use Rebirth to have ridiculous regeneration. It should be good for just about anything, especially the three most common damage types.

Build: Katana/Electric
Price: Infinte
Build goals:
Get as much to 32.5% as I can (1 luck from soft-cap). Didn't get fire/ice/psy very high though.
After that, pack as many -res procs as I can
Try to get a decent amount of recharge in.
Build weaknesses: Some weakness to fire/ice damage. No Power Surge if you like T9s. Not a lot of AoE for my tastes (coming from a guy with a Spines/Fire though). DA is definitely underslotted.
Incarnate: Yes, Spiritual Core T4, Warworks T4 Core, Interface T4 Radial, Void T4 Radial and Barrier T4 Core (with T4 Rebirth Radial also)

I went with a different design goal than SlyGuyMcFly, hope it's kosher to post my own take on DB/SR.

Build: DB/SR
Price: Cheapish - 1b (or three weeks of tips) for the LotGs, but the rest is just a few hundred mill.
Build goals:
-Tons of recharge. Get as close as possible to being able to run the best attack chain without having to get purple sets.
-Softcap.
Build weaknesses:
-It doesn't do much to compensate for SR's weaknesses, so when you get hit you tend to splatter
-Can only run one combo
Incarnate: None included, though the Spiritual alpha is strongly recommended as it lets you perma hasten and nearly gaplessly run the best chain. Musculature only increases DPS by 0.15% over Spiritual, Cardiac isn't needed IME, and your great DDR makes Nerve pointless as well.

Would any of you guys make a solid low budget KM/FA build? Whenever I try I end up with a mess, so I'm hoping you can give me a good foundation to tweak.

how's this?
That's quite a bit better. I think I can see some opportunity to raise smashing, but it really does a better job. I actually forgot that cleaving blow gave a defense bonus, and I probably should have thought about Aegis (but in my defense, I originally was only going to try for smashing/lethal, and so the Reactives). I'll play with it some more and see if I can get smashing up a little, but it basically is good as is.

Oh, and here's a "cheap" KM/Fire build, with no purples or PvPs. For cheaper, get rid of the LotGs and work in gift of the ancients for some recovery. For more cheapening, go for less defense and get rid of kinetic combat sets to put in Crushing Impact for recharge. This build should add quite a bit of survivability though, with fire resistance capped and other types covered with defense. I could try to work in more fire defense, but really it should be good. Everything will be soft-capped with Shadow Meld, and everything but fire/cold can be soft-capped with 1 luck.

TW/Elec Optimization

 

Posted

I'm going to be periodically updating this thread with builds, just going down the list, starting with BS/Dark. These builds shouldn't be considered "the best possible", and will need tweaks and adjustments because I do not play all of these combinations at level 50 with incarnate abilities. Basic goals for all of them will be high defense, high recharge, endurance sustainability and well slotted attacks.

Thanks! Going to tweak a few things but looks solid.
