Post Your Concept Build

So, inspired by the Duel Pistol Scrapper idea, I've decided to start collecting diffrent builds, mainly concept builds for me to try on my characters, see if they make me fall in love.

So roll up, roll up! Bring out your concept builds! Give em a fancy name and say why you made them! If you have a character to go with it and a reason for them to have those powers, even better.

If I see any builds I'm really liking, I'll toss out some inf to the creator.

Oh, and if possible can people please only post the data links and data blocks to import into mids? Keeps the thread a little tidier. Thanks.

Elven noble Bladedancer. Based loosely on a friend's D&D character.

Power concepts: master of the sword, spells for personal empowerment: Haste was a favorite as was the ability absorb damage (stoneskin). The character also got near death a lot, but managed to pull through. A few good offensive spells, Fireball, Sand Storm, Chain Lightning. Of course, as an elf there was also the stealth aspect.

Back in I3 when I made the character, I could never get there. But I could get a fair bit. Katana was a no-brainer, I just preferred its looks over BS. Super Speed allowed for great combat speed. Super Speed + Stealth meant I was a stalker with invisibility that did not go away, I could tactically remove opponents while other enemies were unaware. I could flash past enemies getting in hits while they twirled around trying to figure out what was going on.

The concept likely would have been better as Invuln, but I already had a Kat/Invuln (plus I had run a mission with a /regen and was intrigued by how strong it seemed). Instant Healing allowed for such rapid recovery of health it could feel like stoneskin, add in DA and Tough and enough damage never hit to make it feel OK, plus the occasional bouncing health bar would give me the feeling of near death but pulling through. So Kat/Regen is how I went. Hasten, Super Speed, and my top tier super power was Whirlwind. Enemies bobbed up and down and while I blurred through them (and watched my blue bar go down).

Sadly, there were no APPs that could allow for flashy offensive spells that worked for me. Energy Torrent was close, but the other powers to get there didn't work for me.

Of course, a lot has changed. They changed IH, so I am more clicky now, but I like that better anyway (although it is out of concept, I prefer the gameplay and I only had IH for like a week anyway, as I hit 28 just before the change). They gutted Super Speed in combat and made Whirlwind a sad echo. Stealth suppresses. They made MoG interesting and gave me inherent Hurdle. Happily, with IOs, I was able to recover a good deal of speed (but I wish it were more). Blaze Mastery gave me flashy offensive spells I could love and Judgement gave me my choice of Chain Lightning (Ion) or Sand Storm (Pyronic colored sandy). Reactive gives me the ability to cast Touch spells through the sword. Lore gives me Lightning spells and more self buffs (Storm Radial) and Ageless lets me cast a form of Mass Haste (and I need the end help).

If the KB to KD proc works in Whirlwind, I may have to drop Lotus Drops and pick Whirlwind back up.

------------

Variant was a character with the idea to combine as many differents "powers" as possible.

The explanation of the powers is basically...being born with regeneration made the character the perfect subject for Crey Industries, Project: Variation. The process to surgically implant metahuman DNA into an individual giving the character control of various powers.

The powers gained through Project Variation...Invisibility, phasing, dark matter control, laser vision, energy manipulation, energy projection and flight.
