Staff/SR Build Request

Greetings!

I'm an old school vet returning for some fun, and would love to try the staff power set. I've got lots of experience with tanks, trollers, and defenders, but very little with blasters and scrappers. I realize that staff/SR isn't by any means a meta gaming combo, but I would love to give it a shot. Since I have little experience with both power sets, I would love to see some example builds to help me with some ideas as far as the direction I should head.

Thanks in advance!

Here's my thoughts. Mind you I've zero experience with Staff as of now. I do have a lot of experience with SR.

The build is soft capped (without Incarnate abilities) with no travel power, but would be easy to grab one with minimal change (could use Ninja Run). Will hit +3's without Tactics and +4's while Tactics is running. Food for thought.

And welcome back!

@Doomguide,

Thanks much for the reply! I'm still relatively low level (26), but so far I've been progressing along a very similar blueprint to what you laid out here. I a finding that while staff lacks the burst/build-up powers, and SR is a defense only set, staff mastery and quickness make a gnarly combo. While definitely not an instant gratification combo, it seems to flow very well, dispatching mobs very efficiently. And I definitely like SR so far.
