To Arcanaville, since i can't send PM

Hey Arcanaville, i saw your post you was telling someone, sorry can't remember exactly where it was.

Here is what the post said i copied and pasted the complete post

Both are relatively simple to play, but that's what can make them so fun in my opinion. You can spend less time worrying that your build isn't right.

Don't worry about laying out invention sets until level 40 or so. You can do just fine on regular single origins until then. Heck, I know someone who's gotten his super strength/willpower brute up to incarnate using mostly nothing but SOs and is doing just fine.

And I agree that masterminds can be tricky to play since they are so different from the others. It's basically trying to coordinate a one man team, when everyone else on the team is an overeager scrapper.

HERE IS YOUR's

Arcanaville post Quote:

Right now I think the most forgiving melee character you can play is SR/Staff. Because you only need to know a couple of things about that combination:

1. Take all the SR powers, and slot the defensive ones with three defense enhancements (whatever level you are) and one end reduction for the toggles. Slot Practiced Brawler with two recharge.

2. Turn on Form of Soul. Never turn it off. The end.

You'll be stronger than almost any other SO build out there, and you'll rarely run out of endurance, and you'll be able to shoot out an almost continuous stream of AoE which will mean things will die relatively quickly even at the lower tanker damage mod.

I can't think of a melee combo that is easier to play, easier to build, and easier to slot. And if you remember to take and slot combat jumping you'll be virtually soft-capped. Its not the strongest possible combination, but I don't think it gets any more straight forward than that. Under normal playing conditions you'll basically be vulnerable to high tohit buffs and situations with a ton of non-positional psi, and that's it.

What i like to know if you can pretty please ( plate full of your favorite cookies ) could you make me this SR/STAFF build,

I wasn't sure if this was for brute, tank or scrapper but i will give you the low down on my play style.

I solo most time, Ok least maybe 90% time lol

I love the brute, tank and scrapper classes, my main problem is i am terrible at making builds, i been out of game since 2004 and now i am back and like what in the crap am i going to do now.

I came back to the game since i been gone from 2004 and i am now playing Free to Play so no IO's/SETS.

So i am going the good old days route of slotting SO's.

I posted a Fire/Fire Brute on this site since i cannot post on arch type site cause i am not ViP it said, but i think the build i tried to made is very trashy and now hoping someone very nice to come along and fix it, something just tells me i did not do the build right

Well enough of my rambling on, just wanted to know if you can pretty please make me the SR/STAFF build, least i have idea what it looks like level 1-50 with all slots filled then i can make my own changes or keep what you did?

Yes it sucks i am only Free To Play and can only do SO's but that is life till i can con my boss into a higher raise -

For what it's worth, link to post mentioned.

All you have to do to summon her to a thread is mention her name three times. She's like Beetlejuice, except more aggressive and her home dimension looks like a cross between Mythbusters and the palaces of Atlantis.

Arcanaville!

Edit : Oh, I actually read your post. The formatting's a little weird. Hang on, I can do that (Premium Staff/SR -- she was talking about a tank at the time, you want a Scrapper? It'd be my pick for the combo unless you actually plan to tank. You can port it to Brute or whatever if you want).

Edit 2 : Quick question. You want a Premium-friendly build with Attuned Enhancements and (Synthetic/) Hamidon Origin Enhancements, or SOs only? I'm gonna do the second one for you to start, since it's way cheaper, but the first one's a lot better if you can get the influence.

This would be a first blush look at an SO only SR/Staff tank. It's been a while since I've created an SO only build so it's certainly far from perfect. I would probably approach it slightly differently for myself in the earlier levels, as I've got plenty of Vet attacks to cover taking the staff attacks later in the build, but I didn't want to skimp your earlier attacks.

I also recommend getting the four accolades I toggled on: Received the Atlas Medallion, Freedom Phalanx, Task Force Commander, and Portal Jockey. Combined they give you an extra 20% hit points, and 10% extra endurance. Both of which will improve your regeneration and endurance recovery nicely.

Anyway, take a look at this and see what you think. I'm sure others will have different, if not better input. Hopefully you'll find something to work with.

Here you go. There's an open pick at 14 for your travel power and a couple of open slots. It softcaps if you run Manuevers and Stealth and use Guarded Spin. Depending on how lazy you feel, you can drop the two open slots into Dodge and Focused Fighting (one each) to get softcapped to melee and you don't even need Guarded Spin, although if you plan to fight in DA you'll probably want to keep it anyway. (That's not a bad idea anyway since it more-or-less caps your resistance to defense debuffs too, but I leave it up to you).

Edit : Oh, it's a Scrapper, by the way. And if you want to do DA stuff you'll also need more accuracy, probably at the cost of damage... although I could give you quite a bit more performance with Attuned and SHO enhancements.

Forum names are fixed. I'm the only me.

You can get those accolades as a free-to-play player and I also highly suggest it.

Thank you both for the builds, I'll get to writing both builds out since my printer quit on me so I will have to write the builds out of MIDS by hand.

Sorry for double post. I am going to paste the mids builds to here so i can then copy and and paste to email then to my ipad 2 so i will have both of your builds on my ipad 2, so next to me i can check the builds as i am leveling up.

Then I can copy paste to my email then send the builds to my iPad then I have the builds to see how they are next to me while I'm leveling up and slotting.

Ok several posts up above i have taken care of the two builds, thanks for the advice how to export the whole build form -

You can just open up the mids build save file and it's a text list just like a forum export. Save a build to disk and send it to yourself through email.
