Tri-Form PB

Alright. This is my Tri-Form PB build, I-21 compliant, with a focus on keeping Light Form, Inner Light, Photon Seekers, and Essence Boost all perma. I didn't get all resistances up to 85% while in lightform, but they are very close. Haste rate is up to 161.25% with hasten up, and I managed to fit in some Slow protection for when I drop into Dwarf. Now that Light Form holds over to the other forms, Tri-Form really seems to be the way to go, being that I was able to focus on making Dwarf a Mez-Breaker/PBAoE/Heal self form, Nova became the form for hitting large mobs with a couple of good AoEs, and then drop down to human to mangle the survivors with Radiant Strike and Incandescent Strike. I've also got the flexiblity of just staying in human form, as I have a continuous attack chain possible with it, and with reform essence up relatively fast, I should be able to just go through mobs. My only 'real' concern with this build is how low my defenses are, and that I didn't cap all my resistance aside from Psionic. Other than that, I think this will be a pretty good build, though I would definately appreciate some input from people who have a tad bit more experience with PBs than me. Not sure which Alpha to go with, though I'm thinking Musculature Core for more damage and defense debuffs, though I could also see just going with Spiritual, so as to get reform essence up faster and also get Hasten Perma.

My circle is more like an egg. . .a handicapped egg. - A math professor

 

Posted

I don't have a lot of experience with Kheldians, and I actually came here looking for some ideas for my own build. But I do have some general knowledge. And I have some things I'd like to address.

First of all, Glinting Eye and Gleaming Blast don't have any real business having a single IO in them. I'd suggest swapping those to Nucleolus Exposures. The Devastation Proc is a nice thought, but with a proc's chance to activate and the overall lack of improvement on the power itself, I don't see it being that useful. Unless you have already put it to practice and found otherwise. But Gleaming Blast, no excuses. Make that a hami. Glowing Touch too. And take the Ragnarok off.

The other issue I have (which is more me asking questions than actually seeing a problem) is that there are an awful lot of powers here that aren't getting any love slot-wise. Some make sense, like Incandescence and Stamina, since you've got Tri-Form going and Conserve Power. Others I don't get. The Nova's ST moves are very lacking, as is any and all Ranged ST. You have the three forms which I get, and plenty of AoE output, but I'd still like to be able to KAPEW one guy. Like AVs or something.

The other thing I'd like to inquire about is why you're going for defense at all. With all defense toggles running you've got from 11.7% to 17.6%. That's a decent chunk, in reality, but with nearly 85% in all resistances I think your IO sets can be better invested elsewhere. Especially since you're only getting 3% to 8.9% from your actual IOs. I'd swap out the Reactive Armor for an Impervium Armor, extra recovery and end.
