Thinking about rolling a peacebringer, Thoughts?

Hey all, My favorite toon is my shade, Double mire and all that. I'm curious about how an ioed PB would fare soloing +3x8, and how the playstyles differ.

And in the long run, would the shade or PB be more powerful?

Peacebringers are different.

Peacebringers are self-contained, they do not need enemy, dead or alive, to be powerful.

Peacebringers are consistent, every time you activate a particular power, the same thing happens. If you activate a power in a vacuum, the same thing happens.

This means that they play more like other ATs. Human-form is a Blapper-plus, with shields and self-heals. Nova is pure Blaster and Dwarf is pocket Tank (not unlike with a Warshade). You get Build-Up and a Dull Pain clone, and your 'super armor' power, Lightform can be perma'd and stacked with Dwarf resistance to make you even tougher.

I'd say, in general, your strategy and tactics are going to be a bit simpler, more straightforward, as a Peacebringer, than as a Warshade, simply because you don't have to leverage the enemy or collect bodies.

I like it. Your experience may differ.

Be Well!

With a similar build investment, it will fare pretty much the same. The playstyle can be quite a bit different, though.

I don't have the math or the bias to answer this one, too many variables to answer without seeing what kind of build you plan on using.

With a Warshade's self buffs saturated, he is much stronger than a Peacebringer.

When a Peacebringer is fighting a single hard target without a body in sight, he is much stronger than a Warshade.

The playstyles are completely different.

That said, I just recently rolled a Peacebringer and I'm having great fun with him.

My Warshade and my Peacebringer are near enough identical. They're both pure except for having to take haste. That's their only pool power. Fitness is inherent ofc. The slotting is relatively identical. The idea is just for me to compare them equally.

And still they both can solo +3 * 8 but how will you do it and what type of mobs?


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
