A Challenge For Those Who Enjoy Making Builds!


EJI

 

Posted

I'll be the first to admit that even after a few years of playing I've only recently begun dabbling in IOs...

As such, many of my own characters are currently works in progress that I am learning from. However, I would love to see what people could come up with for my eight year old brother's character.

The character in need of help is a Dark/Dark Scrapper. Here is the challenge for those who have the interest and/or the generosity to help:

- He wants to be able to fly
- A solution to the endurance issues would be ideal (I know that's a lot to ask for this build)
- Preferably a solid build that has good offense and defense
- I am willing to go up to about 500 mil on the build

I know that Dark/Dark in general is a lot if strategy for a younger kid to take in but he loves the characters and I want him to have the most fun with him possible.

Thanks in advance!

This is a build of my brute, it's slightly dated, as the ATO sets were not out yet...and there are some thing you can change like take out the PVP IOs to fit a budget...but the rest is not really all that bad cost wise...it won't be exactly the same thing, but a lot of it will translate accordingly...

500m goes quick if you don't supplement it with some merits (of some kind)...

The important stuff, imho:
Theft of Essence proc in Dark Regeneration
kb protection IO somewhere
at least 3 slotted Stamina, with a Performance Shifter proc in one of the slots
both healing uniques (Numina and Miracle) in health if you can afford it.

After that, try to get good endredux in your attacks. A steadfast 3% is a nice addition as well. Make sure to get him the Atlas Medallion accolade, it takes about 10 minutes.

Here's what I might do for a low-budget dark/dark, I think you could do it for 500m or less but I'm not really sure... If you grab the health uniques via hero merits that will save you the biggest chunk. Decent recovery even with Cloak of Fear, good accuracy, a little bit of defense and recharge.

Both of these seem like they would be solid builds. I'll have to give them a shot!
