Rad/Sonic/Dark Challenge

Posted

I am wanting to respec my Rad/Sonic defender to take on the Dark Mastery Ancillary pool. He is designed to be my AV/GM solo build normally, but I feel like Dark Mastery can allow me to have some fun soloing in normal missions where there may be large mobs. I love Opressive Gloom and will require that power to be in the build, as well as Soul Drain and Dark Embrace (Also, I would like dark consumption as it would give me another PBAoE power and can help my endurance). I don't plan on using a wide amount of attack powers; Scream, Shout, and Shriek are all I would plan to use against an AV/GM and would only use those in a regular battle (as I pick off disoriented enemies one by one, using Soul Drain to power me up quite nicely).

Here is my challenge for all of you. Below is my current Rad/Sonic/Psy build that is soft-capped for range defense and is perma-hasten, perma-AM, and perma-LR. Now that Incarnates have come out since I first designed this toon, I would like to know if anyone can make it so my toon has the powers I want to use (listed above - but feel free to be flexible with not taking certain powers if it is necessary), and to still be perma'd out with soft-cap or near soft-cap S/L and Range. Use Alpha slot and Destiny to help with the numbers if needed.

I know above was a mouthful, so here's a summary of what I want:
Desired capabilities:
Soft capped Range Def and S/L Def (or near it)
Perma-Hasten, Perma-AM, Perma-LR

Required Offensive powers:
Oppresive Gloom, Soul Drain, Shriek, and Scream

Desired Offensive powers:
Shout, Dark Consumption

Thanks and good luck, here is my current build to help give an idea of what I'm currently working with.

I worked some stuff in mids and this is the closest I got. I took the Spiritual Core Paragon for my alpha. I also to the Ageless Core Epiphany (which essentially provides me with a permanent 10% recharge increase along with short periods of even more recharge (70% for the first 10 seconds, 30% the next 20 seconds, 20% the next 30 seconds, and 10% for the last 60 seconds). As you'll see, I got S/L softcapped, but came just short of ranged softcapped. I may have overly gimped him by using Ninja run as his only travel power and took a lot of ****** melee attacks as Kinetic Combat mules, but it seems to not hurt the build too much overall. My main disappointment is not having damage procs in my attacks, which would have been helpful against AV/GMs, but taking reactive with 75% fire dot proc hopefully will make up for it. Please take a look, and tell me where I could improve this all-around solo build. (Price, we'll assume is not a problem)

A few things I see with the most recent build you posted

1. Your Endo sucks...bad. You are netting 1.36 eps recovery which is nowhere near enough to be able to solo for a long period of time.

2. Your accuracy in LR sucks, you are sitting at 47% vs +4s

3. May I ask why you are so intent on getting to the s/l softcap too? You have gimped your build pretty bad in the process imo. Why not just hover blast and use the range def you already have built for? I do that for my rad/sonic and he pretty much never dies
