The Pool Boy Challenge

Hey everyone,

I had made a character a long time ago that was supposed to be stuck using only pool powers. With the changes to the travel pools, I wanted to semi-resurrect this character as mostly a concept, but I might just have to make him in-game depending on the ideas that I get.

The restrictions I've placed on the character concept:

1) Can take two powers each from his primary/secondary powersets

2) Every other power taken must come from a power pool

3) Ancillary/Patron Pool powers are allowed

4) Vet Powers and other temp powers can be counted on for use, in case you don't have a truly complete attack chain.


Going by those rules, I created the build below. I'm interested in seeing what other people might come up with, though.

I don't have access to mids at work, but I think an elm/stone brute would be great for this. charged brawl has good EPA and fast recharging, take Jacobs ladder for a good spa single target and aoe attack, and stone to skip every power until granite. granite gives status and resistance, fury boost pool attacks more than crits, and teleport is easy to fit to overcome the movement penalties of granite.

Granite Armor is cheating.

It's not, but it sure seems like it is. I look forward to seeing your build later.

Only thing i see different from what i would have done is the io's. I would have replaced all the kinetic combats with them with touch of death and mako's bite to get soft cap on melee and range.

Here is my Granite. I went Dark Melee instead of Elec for to hit debuff sets. It's crazy expensive but it has tons of rechage, run speed, and enough +damage to almost overcome granites penalties at 0 fury.
