Just did Tin Mage and got Surgeon badge. It is the second healing badge. I have barrier too so it is all from ground zero. He's only vet level 42 so not that high. Just think it is such a neat power.
I use meltdown as soon as it is recharged. The damage boost is awesome. Mine is a scrap though. I don't even look at whatever else it does. I love it. I think it looks cool too.
Here is my scrap. In game he has siphon insight 5 slotted into beta decay. For some reason it isn't an option in mids. No clue what is goin on there to be honest. Maybe it was changed? If I respec I might not be able to do that again? I have no clue.
I like using ground zero a lot. It is such a unique power in that it heals teammates. Oblit set in it is also nice for bonuses.
Radical Thrax - Scrapper (Claws).mxd
Here is a rough first pass. Tried to keep it cheap, at least until I actually play it at 50 some. I'll leave it here for a bit before I actually play in game just in case anyone wants to give some notes. I'm not experienced with either Water Blast or Kinetics so hopefully someone chimes in. I hate slotting kick for the s/l defense but honestly have slots to spare anyway it seems.
Moist Thrax - Corruptor (Water Blast - Kinetics).mbd
I’m gonna take a stab at it tomorrow. Just made one and bam it’s 50. No clue what I’m doing with it. I love some mapserve events lol. I’ll share it once I get it together.
seems fun though. I’ve wanted a water and a kin for awhile and never quite found the toons so just put them together. Scourge from whirlpool seems nice. It is hard to tell what the hell is going on during those events though.
Home now so can be more constructive. Here is my build. I slotted self rez in anticipation of dying a lot, but I rarely ever use it.
Fire Thrax - Blaster (Fire Blast - Fire Manipulation) 5.mbd
Ice/time. Get the purple confuse proc for arctic air. Just buff up the two teammates. Time is crazy good and cheap to build. Ice’s one power confuses most. Mine is dom with world of confusion too. Unsure if controllers get it too. I’m
Thanks to MS went from 33-50+ real quick. Only done one tin mage at 50 but went great. Three melee are plenty. Aoe a bit light with just fireball and shield charge but it’s good enough.
I’ve got a cool concept for fire/shield. Question is, would I be hurting myself too much not taking any of the sword attacks? Including fire sword circle. Planning on trying new psy master for snipe and the end power. Maybe going fire for some sweet fireball action. Haven’t settled on ancillary yet.
I would think the ST would be great but lacking in AOE of course.
thoughts?
I just got body armor but already have the option for rifle. Which I took lol. The bow and sword work fine. Although sometimes he’s holding the bow like the sword but that’s only for a second between animations. We shall see.
This looks pretty close to powers I was planning on picking for mine. Gonna try and get LRM just so I can carry around a bow, quiver, sword, and assault rifle lol.
I put the ATO in the t1 blast power. The one with chance for mez protection. Use it all the time when leveling. And can spam it even while mezzed. Usually chance slotting to t2 attack one 50 respec final build.
I just got around to making a trip fire about 6 months or so ago. It’s fully done now. I don’t blaster much but I prefer my energy/devices. The fire is strictly better but it’s just kinda boring.
You could probably do SR and skip elude and passives. Yes, the passives give you the resistance buff when low. My ST tank rarely gets low and he does 4 star stuff. So would likely be fine for general stuff. Or can take 8 powers but not need fighting pool or anything else to add to defense.
fold space is cool. Taunt reduces range and forces most mobs to come to you to attack.
Case in point of talking each other up on forums.
I don’t need proof. Most of y’all don’t take taunt either. Cause we do fine without it.
The game is easy so fuck it. Do what ya want.
Im unsure why I still care.
