Need Help with Archery/Dark/Fire Build Mid included

Posted

Below is what I have so far, but I've never been really good at this so I thought I would get some help - esp since when I finished my attempt I had 13 slots left I had no clue what to do with.

It's Arch/Dark/Fire and I pretty much love my power selections - I just need to know how to best slot them.

I'm looking for a build that will let me solo DA content - with an emphasis on dmg but enough defense/regen/Resist to keep me safeish while I do it... not making trips to the hospital is fun.

Cost is not an issue - but I would prefer to avoid private exchanges so it would be great if I could get everything on the Paragon Market or Auction House.

Thanks.
(Oh and ignore Incarnate stuff - I'll figure out what I want to do with that after I figure out what to do with the sets.)

Hrm..

Looked at the build.

Personally my issues are Dark is very melee PBAOE based and Archery is range that you can fire off in melee of course, nothing stopping you from doing such. But to benefit from Soul Drain you have to be in melee range. Your defenses are lacking to engage a large number of mobs at melee range or even at range as well.

I get your 13 slots short so your lacking on set bonuses.

I think if you read the links in my Signature it might give you some ideas on what direction you want to go in.

Personally I would go with Smash and Lethal since Range cap is not going to do much for you at melee range and I don't think the sets will afford you the ability to get Melee defense cap. Only way to get S / L easily is to go Rogue and pick up Scorpion Shield from Mace Mastery.

End result you can put out a zillion points of damage but if you can't take a punch in the face it doesn't matter. You have nothing from preventing mobs from retaliating back to a alpha strike and you have nothing that would allow you to take a alpha strike. Further taking so many hits will make Aid self almost impossible to use a well.
