SS/WP Brute IO Build--Feedback Request


DevilsHouseplant

 

Posted

Hey all,

Here's my first real attempt at IO'ing out my SS/WP brute. I love this toon, and I'd like to make him the absolute best I can. I'd love to make sure he can dish a ton of damage but take a ton of damage, too. I want decent HP, great regen, great recovery, and great recharge all of which I hope this build has, but I don't want to gimp my defense, either. I hope things look o.k.

My main concern is how I've slotted Char--I don't use this power at all, so I'm really only using it as a set mule. Can you see better ways to slot this power?

Thanks for any and all feedback; it's GREATLY appreciated.

Wow you sure do love your +HP bonuses. I guess that probably works really well on a /WP though - I'm somewhat new to /WP myself. I'm more used to SS/FA where +recharge is king, and I slot much more for that.
A more usual sort of slotting for Char is four of the Basilisk's Gaze set, for 2.5% Energy/Neg def and 7.5% global recharge, but that would lose the +HP/+regen bonuses there, so it may not be a good trade-off for you. For your goals, the build looks pretty decent to me...

Thanks for the feedback; and yes, I'm trying to get to 30 to 35% defense to everything with big HP and big regen. I figure that'll keep me flying as a SS/WP guy.

build looks exactly like what you are shooting for. However...i highly recomend trying to soft cap s/l/e/n. All those hit points you added is maybe...1-2 attacks from a boss and 30 or so hp/sec regen.
Now without going into some overly complex maths i dont feel like typing, if you were to soft cap s/l/e/n. You will end taking roughly 1/3 the dmg than that current build takes, at least during the alpha strike.

That's my concern--I'm not sure HOW to cap S/L/E/N without gimping my build. If you have some specific feedback, I'd love some help.

Thanks,

My DM/WP brute has 32-35% def to S/L/E/N/F/C. When I need to softcap, a small [Luck] does the trick. So does [Demonic].

Here ya go, a lil more expensive but it gets the job done, take barrier to softcap s/l/e/ne and your golden. Id take the Spiritual Core Paragon 45% rech alpha for getting hasten closer to perma.

I just moved some slots around that you were wasting and over slotting powers.

Took stealth for less end drain and still hit 40% def, also sometimes i like to be able to stealth at certain times, like when you have to get the glowie on one of the RSF mishs with all the LB around.

Also, power placement isnt optimal, i just went off your original posted build. Id take jab sooner than its slotted and hasten. Move stealth/manuvers to Lvl 50 power slot

And your build got 3000+ hp??? something seems odd there.


Edit* ok figured it out..your build had hero accolades on, and then i put the villain ones on, so it was stacked which isnt possible in game. so turning those off your hp was at 2700+.

Thanks; I was tweaking a different build and hadn't actually "fixed" when I was taking certain powers. I really, REALLY, apprecaite the tweaks. Looks great. Expensive, but great. Now, to get back to farming tickets and influence for this build...
