Dark/Shield Build Thread
My DM/SD scrapper is sitting in his low 40s and I've decided to spend a little time planning out a level 50 build for him. I don't have unlimited resources for the build, so what I put together is what I think is a middle class build. I'm trying to keep it around the 1.5 Billion range. Keep in mind, I have a couple weeks to ding 50 and I already have 2 of the LOTG 7.5s and an extra hero merit. I am hoping to have all 5 by the time I hit 50, so those are not factored into the cost.
I think I have achieved what I am looking for in a solid build. ~200% End recover, over 200% regeneration, soft capped defenses, 140% recharge and perma hasten.
After quite a bit of tweaking, I think I have the build where I want it. So that means you all get to tell me all the things I did wrong
Any advice is certainly welcome. Again, this is not by any means an unlimited build. I know I can get more out of it with 5 purple sets, but I don't have that kind of inf to throw around nor in particular the patients to make it.
