Staff/Regen Build - Critique and Help

Posted

Working on a Staff/Regen Brute here and have a preliminary build hashed out in Mids. I was trying to shoot for:

1 - Melee and ranged defense
2 - Recharge
3 - Regen out the wazoo
4 - Bonus HP

I feel I have the Regen and Bonus HP objectives met, but the defenses and recharge are looking rather meh.

Here is the build thus far:

Data chunk first, then the Hooman readable version.

Any suggestions on how to improve this? Not much experience with melee builds, only Blasters and Corruptors for the most part.

This is basically where you will softcap with a small purple insp to all positions using guarded spin...with the 2 recharge IOs in hasten @ +5 using boosters...hasten is perma. Dull Pain is perma, and you have enough recovery to power anything. Plus you'll have MoG when you need it anyway, and your big attacks will hit hard.

You will notice I have accolades in there, you want to get those ASAP, as they make a huge difference for you, especially on your /Regen +Max HP through accolades means +Regen.

With Dull Pain running, standing around you will Regen 73 Hp/sec, and your Max HP are almost 3000.

Well, your suggestion looked promising, until I saw that there are 3 5 piece Panacea sets in it, plus a Brute's Fury. Since I am not looking to spend 3 to 4 billion on a build (judging by how these seem to be going on the market), those make such a build a show stopper.

I am preferring to do this build without relying on PvP IOs or attuned enhancements (don't even know how to get those other than on the market). A purple set or 2 is okay, though not required, though I would like the build plenty viable without having to wait until 50. I also want to keep the IO levels at around 30 for exemping purposes.

You can do it with Doctored wounds instead, but in order to make hasten perma you'll want panaceas. They're usually about 150-175 mil ea. Also, the ATO proc is not all that expensive, relative to purple pieces it's a bargain in fact. You can get it under Attuned Enhancements in Wentworths usually somewhere around 50-80 mil. Obliteration Quads will run about double that much, and you have a ton of those in your build...it's just money spent differently really.

You can do level 30 enhancements, but I personally don't see gaining alot from it. The attuned and PVP IOs exemp already (As I understand the PVP IOs anyway...though I could be wrong) Purple sets exemp also, and so do store bought enhancements from paragon market...

3-4 bil influence isn't all that much these days, and alot of the pieces can be gained with Alignment merits or Astral/Emp merits if you prefer to work to get them.

I have several builds that cost into the 13-15 bil influence range, but I get the performance I am looking for out of those toons.

You can cut corners, but if you go positional, you'll want it to be to all positions. You could try S/L/E/N softcap, but then Guarded Spin would do nothing for you...and you need LOTS of AoE powers to get there.
