Mr. Apocalypse

As a result of the Mapserver event, I now have another lvl 50. Unfortunately, I didn't really learn to play the Plant/fire combo, since I leveled the toon faster than I could decide on powers and see how they worked together. I cobbled together this build, from a few different ones floating around forums, and made a few changes here and there. I did what looked good in Mids, but I'm not sure how my IO choices will synergize . Any advice would be appreciated. This will be primarily for Team play, and I have no real intention to use it for any king of farming or anything like that. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1479&c=709&a=1418&f=HEX&dc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

Bots/Dark/Soul. Like said above it can feel slow to lvl 32. However, I would like to add that, you never feel weak. Below is my current live build. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1598&c=737&a=1474&f=HEX&dc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

I agree, my bots/dark/ soul is a beast. I solo everything and anything. GM just means longer to kill. I never worry about if I can kill.

I run the "The Burden of the Past TF" repeatedly when I really want the goods. Takes me about 11 minutes to run the whole TF (4 per hour @about 15 minute Turn around total) with my bots/dark MM. I get 2 Empyrean merits per run, which I convert to reward merits. Just this week I decided to replace a full set of Stupefy I had slotted in Howling Twilight with a set of Absolute Amazement. I ran the TF ~20 times, ( had some a couple of Empyrean merits already, and gained a vet level badge which awarded me 20 more) converted the 60 Empyrean merits into 600 reward merits, bought the recipes. Running the TF also rewarded me with a few of the salvage needed to craft, a few Enhancement Catalyst, another purple recipe , a bunch of recipes, regular enhancements, and enough inf to craft, buy all salvage needed, and catalyst for attuning. Afterwards I had enough inf left over that I was above my starting level. I also used this method to grind out my incarnates, by selecting the random incarnate roll instead of the Empyrean merit at the end. It is by far the fastest/easiest way I have found outside of running an AE fire farm toon to get the things you want. My main goal when playing is to decide on a build by level 30, at level 30 respec into the slotting for the build I want, and start picking up the I/O sets that I can afford. As I play regular content I buy something as soon as I can afford it, buy cheap stuff first to increase the number of bonuses you gain. I buy Attuned versions of everything, unless I can only afford to craft. then I attune as I loot enhancement catalyst. By time I hit level 50 I was 75-80% complete with my build. I finished out the rest really quick using the methods above. Rikti raids are also a good source to get vanguard merits which convert to reward merits at 30 to1. you get about 1000 per raid. it is relatively easy to get the stuff you want, you just have to put in a little work. but its fun work 🙂

I think I am going to try the build by Maelwys. thanks

I see there is a fairly stout number wise build at the end of the post you listed. i also see that fusion was not picked in that build. My understanding is that it is a much needed component of a rad melee build. what would be the logic behind not picking it.

I notice fusion was skipped in this build, what would be the reasoning behind this?

Thanks for the build, I think what I should rally be looking for is some guides to both Rad melee, and fire Armor seperatley and come up with something that works for me while leveling. If that turns out to be a bust, Then I will just door sit to get my dual build to 50 then populate both builds using my MM to farm out the IOs. i'll give this one a try on the Beta server, and see how I like it.

I know Rad/fire is used mostly as a AE Farmer and I plan on using it for that later. However right now I am looking for a build that can grow with me to level 50. I am currently level 30, and want to do content with this toon. I plan on doing a dual build with this toon later and already have some farm builds to work with for when that time comes. But for right now, I don't want a one trick pony.

Wanted to throw out an update and another thank you for posting up your build, which really set my path in the right direction. I have been playing pretty solidly since this thread was opened and have completed my build. It is a +4/8 destroyer of worlds, it is a bit slow at times, but its a Bots MM and expected. Here is my build as currently on live, with the exception of the Absolute amazement IOs in howling Twilight. I still have Stupify slotted there currently but will likely have them replaced in the next week or so. I also got both Musculature T4 Radial and Core and switch them out if I find myself needing the added endurance modification of the radial at the cost of damage output. I am also working on replacing my T4 robotic drones with the Banished pantheon pets for the higher damage output. incarnates: all Tier 4 Alpha -musculature Core and radial Judgement -Ion Core Destiny - Clarion Core Interface -Degenerative radial Lore - Robotic Drones Core (replacing with Banished Pantheon T4 core) Hybrid - Support Core only have Portal Jockey and Atlas medallion Accolades, but the other 2 will be finished this week .

I was actually being facetious. I have done the same before as well, just caught myself before clicking.

I saw a luck charm sold for 7.5 million the other day, I wonder how that one went down.

To whomever just got 8.5 million for a Siphon insight recipe valued in the 2k range. that was me..lol.. enjoy

I haven't played any for a while, but I own all of them on steam, and also many on various consoles. I have played many of them to 100% completion including all of the Star Wars, all of the Batmans, Indiana Jones, and many more in various stages of completion. My most recent 100% was DC supervillains and currently working on the Marvel super heroes 2, when I feel the need to get my LEGO on.

make KB--> KD a temp power that cost 100 reward merits and lasts for 4 hours real time (not 4 hours in-game time) this would relegate it to only special occasions where KB becomes ultra detrimental to the game-play experience. Cost and times are just off the top of my head, maybe cost more, last less time. whatever works out to be the best tradeoff. But absolutely not a null the gull thing, and definitely not something that can be purchased with influence/infamy.

I absolutely used to love my Fire/psi back before NC soft closed shut down servers. I am not sure how it stacks up to other builds today, but once it was fully built out with sets and incarnates, it was insanely powerful. I am in the process of building it back up currently since joining homecoming servers. Fire imps can be a bit unruly but I liked the damage and it was fun. I had a guild-mate back in the day who ran mind/psi, and he was forever complaining about its performance compared to other builds. I have no experience with electric primary so I am no help there.

Thanks for the link. I figured the whole more content needed, As is they are already almost game breaking when combined with the invention system. Oh what could have been, we will never know..Thanks NCSoft!

Like the title says, are there any plans in the works to flesh out the rest of the incarnate powers. Not that it really matters, just curiosity. I have always wondered what the rest of the powers would have been. Was there any info from the original devs on what they were going to be?, or was it still not yet planned at the time of shutdown?

As I said in the other thread, I was basically running your build, slightly modified for a bit more regen (about a 25% total increase) , and was doing 4/8 missions no problems

you are correct. I mainly boosted the regen up by about 25% over what it is in your build. I really like lots of regen 🙂 Your build was really solid, and I found it difficult to really squeeze more out of it. I toyed around with stuff for a few days and really kind of fell in love with it and the way it was done. I then just kind of moved things around to get rid of repair, and change the travel power to super jump, and add in the other stuff suggested.

I realized I made a mistake with my slotting of Super jump so here is the corrected data link. I just got finished playing a few paper missions in Grandville against Circle of thorns set to +4/x8 and was basically in god mode, I never once got close to dying. Once I started playing with the incarnate powers and picked up the Cardiac radial Paragon for the alpha slot, it was god mode, My endurance and health never really dipped below 90% for more than a second or two, and for the most part stayed maxed all the time. It definitely works way better than any build I came up with in the past. Thank you so much for sharing, I think I have found my new dream build. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1502&c=711&a=1422&f=HEX&dc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

I liked your build so much, I went back and did some tweaking to it, basically to bring it inline with my desire for more regen. I sacrificed a smidge of end recovery and ~1/2% defense across the board, for a boost to regen via additional health slotting from 200% to 253% or net~25% increase over your build. I also am stuck on maintaining super Jump as my travel power so Super speed had to go, and was replaced with SJ with same IO's. I also took the advice of StrikeFox and dumped repair and included the Reactive Defense IO into vengeance, and I also put a kinetic Combat knockdown bonus IO into boxing, since it was empty There are some things I am not sure if they are issues with Mids or something missed, but the Perception and Threat numbers are not lining up, maybe it has to do with the switch from SS to SJ. anyways, I am definitely going to copy this one over and see how it performs, because It blows the socks off my old builds. thanks for sharing your build.

That's a pretty solid build, I am currently leveling up my bots/dark using a slightly tweaked version of my build from pre-sunset. My build relies on a bit more regen and Status resistance rather than defense. but I am liking how yours is put together. I think I'm going to need to give it a go on the test server and see how it fits my play style. Bots/Dark was my first build from COV launch. and it was always fairly powerful solo machine, with the new improvements on the homecoming servers, I find it even more so. its a build that even done poorly is hard to beat for the sheer enjoyment factor. here is my build, likewise I am also looking to improve it: https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1634&c=734&a=1468&f=HEX&dc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

mine was working fine yesterday, but it was searching server mods every-time I selected a different category. it was running quite slow. now it is giving me the same error. must be something up with the mod server.

Just finished binge watching E1-E6. For as much as I disliked the character in Suicide Squad, I have to admit, the series is great. can't wait for more!
