Crab Spider Build - Hybrid Ranged/Pets/Melee

Posted

My Crab's main build is melee-oriented and I enjoy it, but it does lack one of the fun features of Crab Spiders... pets. I have a secondary build that has never been entirely satisfactory, but I keep tinkering with it. This is my next attempt.

- Leadership heavy... six toggles + Vengeance. Intended for teams, not solo.
- Defenses: 33% Melee, 44.5% Ranged, 35.1% AoE.
- Disruptors and Blaster are not permanent and I am not taking Hasten. I rotate pet summoning powers so that two sets are always active.
- Intended to fight at range using Suppression, Venom Grenade and Frag Grenade.
- Although it is a ranged build, I like Arm Lash too much to drop it. Shatter Armor is a prerequisite for Summon Blaster and it really helps for dispatching high-priority targets quickly.
- I discovered that I seldom remember to switch from Super Jump to Combat Jumping when battle begins, so none of my builds have Combat Jumping anymore.
- Ragnarok is a place-holder for the Dominion of Arachnos ATO set.

TT:Leadership and Tactics are pretty overkill, IMO. I would consider dropping Tactics for Combat Jumping or maybe the other armor if you don't want to deal with CJ. Could also consider the taunt in Presence pool to help out your pets.
