Earth/Storm PvE (Economy)


Local_Man

 

Posted

Ok.. here's the thing. I've been building end game PvP builds for so long that I have found I am utterly incapable of building a cheap build for PvE teaming. I've literally spent over 3 hours today trying to make this work and have finally quit mids in disgust. So I have come to you lovely people in hopes of someone being able to do what I can not.

My earth/storm has been my favorite team character since launch. I'm not married to or against any power in the primary or secondary. For pools I prefer fly and speed for hasten. None of the rest are must haves for this toon. Hero epic, though which is also unimportant to me as long as it is not psi. Incarnates are whatever would work best. I get grumpy if I'm not hit point capped or near and I like a good amount of recharge.

While I want an economy build (I've spent over 120 bill in the last couple of months on PvP builds and I'm a bit light), I do have my 5 lotg recharges and my num and miracle procs for health banked.

So.. halp?

Well, rather than start from scratch, take a look at my build for my Earth/Storm. The purple sets are on the cheap side. I did not build for Defense (although it has some) and built mainly for Recharge. It is just short of perma-hasten before Incarnates. All of the powers are slotted for PvE effectiveness.

Personally, I prefer to have Super Speed since it combines with Steamy Mist for full invis, and it works great for "herdicaning." If I need to fly, I just use the Raptor Pack.

LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
