You’d just have to do the idle stance with the pool cue 😂

This is a really cool call out as well! Honestly it’d be one of my favorite ways to go about the toon if you could do SOMETHING with a Staff. Still absolutely works without the staff though.

I mean, yeah, but good thing you can build psi resists, right? And yeah, that’s one thing but everything else seems to fit just right. There is no specific “Gambit” secondary, so you have to go with what OP feels is most thematic. To each their own.

While I agree that SR definitely works, I would disagree that Energy Aura doesn’t make sense. Part of Gambit’s powers is static interference and vibration emission, both of which are basically protective energy auras his body exudes. Also, I think Stalker is the best fit. Gambit was originally part of the “Thieve’s Guild” which adds to his rogue like nature. Stalker fits that. Gambit can also still scrap it out, which Stalker’s can do as well.

Awesome build, as always Sov. Bio/Fiery might be one of the most min/max builds in the game. I actually think it’s cool conceptually as well.

I’m interested in this combo as well. My only worry is it seems like it’d be REALLY busy.

Did you just color it all black to have this shadow look?

Duuuuude that costume. Send me all the costume part breakdown immediately 😂😂😂

A couple changes implemented! Going to play around some more, but I really appreciate it! Scrapper (Dark Melee - Shield Defense).mbd

This is all super helpful Sancerre, thank you! Playing with some adjustments now.

Calling @InvaderStych to discuss Kat/Rad with Sov 😂 I know it’s one of your main combos, right up there with Psi/Shield.

True, it just ended up working out that way as I finished the set. Maybe I’ll drop a piece and fit in a proc instead!

Thanks for all the advice. I took out the FF proc from Shield Charge and was able to pick up a bit more AOE defense for the build, bumping it up to 51.6%. I moved one slot from True Grit over to Active Defense so I could drop another recharge IO in it.

@Psiphon @EnjoyTheJourney Thank you both! I was kicking around the idea of moving another slot over there so I could fit in another recharge IO. I'm going to mess around with the build and see what slot makes most sense!

Hi all! Since I (finally) have mids, I've been playing around with my builds rather than just flying by the seat of my pants 😂 I love DM/Shield and the synergy it brings, and this is what I'm currently running. Some notes: I wanted to have soft capped positions, capped S/L resist and decent damage. I definitely gave up some proc opportunities. I also went with the new Psi Epic pool to grab Harmonic Mind to help with endurance a bit and further justify the Musculature Radial Alpha choice. I felt that I had enough AOE with Shield Charge, Shadow Maul and a proc'd out ToF (thanks @SomeGuy!) Anyways, would love suggestions or any ideas/easy fixes where I can improve.

I went Dual Blades/Energy Aura for my Jedi Master: Ricad Muoak. Just make sure you give them a Star Wars name 😉

A lot of great info here, appreciate it.

@Onlyasandwich WOW this is so appreciated. A ton of small improvements I would have totally overlooked. I appreciate you!!! I’ve tossed around the idea of going the new Psychic epic tree for one of the attacks and Harmonic Mind to help with endurance further. Truth be told, this has become sort of a Saint Paddy’s Day toon named Donn Taranis. Donn is the Celtic God of Shadow/Dark/Dead and Taranis is the Celtic God of Thunder/Storms. So Soul Mastery kind of just fits the “dark” part of the theme. One other thing I was looking at: do you find it worth switching some of the sets of Unbreakable Guard for Titanium Coating? I gain some resists and max hp with Titanium Coatings, but I would lose out on some endurance/melee defense.

First time doing/sharing a mids build, so I hope I'm doing it right! Would love insight/feedback on things to change. Thanks @Ratch_ for some suggestions on the TW attack slotting! I'm not sure if I have anything toggled on, but I don't believe so since I didn't select any incarnate powers. I'm looking to go Musc Radial for Alpha slot however. Other incarnate suggestions are welcomed! Looks like I was able to hit 90% to everything but NegE (75.9%) and Toxic (a measly 18.5%). I decided to just let that hole be and just to strengthen up in other areas. One possible change is to switch Crushing Blow out for Defensive Sweep. That should allow me to hit softcap on Melee Defense, but I'm not sure if it is worth it on a set with no DDR. It would allow for another LOTG mule however. One other question: It says my +ToHit is at 66%. Would it be better to drop Assault and pick up Tactics? Data chunk Tanker Elec-TW.mbd

This is really helpful knowledge, thank you. Funny thing: I finally got mids working! Most of my builds have been standing on the shoulders of others or just flying by the seat of my pants. Excited to experiment. I’m going to try and get my Elec/Titan build posted in this thread tomorrow and gather feedback.

I play my Psi Melee/Shield Defense Scrapper as a psychic energy warrior. Absolutely love that toon. I mostly agree with everyone that Dominator is probably the way to go, but just thought I’d throw him out there as another option!

I have noticed this as well. Not sure if it is a bug or just animation changes? I went through all the colors and it does the same thing. It DOES show properly on character creator (for me) but not in game.

This was my thinking behind the Elec/TW pairing as well.

Zem, this gave me a lot to chew on, thank you.

Extremely helpful as always Betty, thank you.
