So I need some help


New Dawn

 

Posted

This is my 4th character to 50 and I really enjoy playing her. I'm just kind of at a loss of where to go with an endgame build. It's a long term project so some super expensive IOs are fine, but PvP IOs are pretty much out because that's just too much inf that I'd rather use on my alts. I'm just not sure what to do with it. I tried to get as much +recovery and +end as I could while staying 1 purple from softcapping positional. I like spring attack as an opener to put me right in the center of a spawn with both auras keeping their attention on me while the rest of the team cleans house. I'm really worried about her meh accuracies on her attacks. I'm not trying to run +4/x8, just be able to tank for a team and stay standing while Soul Transfer is down. Thanks for the help.

It's odd to me, you've gone hell for leather on end rec, then not reduced the end costs on some attacks as far as you could.

After Kin Combats, could come an Acc/Dam/End from another set if the rechg looks good or an Acc/Dam/End/Rechg from another set.

Rechg might be playing some importance too but their is no haste, haste over time costs roughly the same as combat jump.

Your end rec is high, perhaps too high versus sacrifices elsewhere in the build. I personally like to have a good 2.5 eps more than my end drain. Procs account for 0.2 eps each to also factor in. Then other bonuses would be slotted for, end discounting would be more favourable in attacks, this paragraph is still ill order to how I would do it but I am thinking in reverse from where you are at now.

It would be easy to get this build to softcap S/L or atleast be one luck away from soft cap to all and have a strong dark regen recharging in less than 15s without the over compensating on end rec.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

The following build is based off of one of my Dark/Dark tank builds. I didn't rearrange the power selections to mirror your current selection, but I did change sets and slots, etc. around. I've toggled on the 4 accolades I like to get on a character, Atlas, Freedom Phalanx, Task Force Commander and Portal Jockey. (nice +end and + HP bonuses with the four of them).

Should I ever make a Dark/Kin this would be closer to my preferences. Soft capped to S/L, in the lower 40's on e/n. (if you want to soft cap e/n you could grab the really expensive Glad. Armor +defense and replace one of the Reactive Armor: Defense IOs) Not sure if the end usage vs. end recovery is enough, but this build has two P-Shifter procs so it "should be" ok.

If nothing else this might give you some ideas.

Thanks for the feedback. I really felt like I was just taking pasta and throwing it at the wall to see if it stuck. I like the direction Rangle's build gave me and with some tweaking I'm likely to utilize it. Thank you both so much.
