StriderIV

Would love to see this build when you finalize it!

Interesting! Appreciate that man, that makes sense. Seems pretty spicy haha

That is good to know about procs ignoring rage crash. Since procs are such a big factor for the performance, I guess theoretically a Rad/Rad tanker would be even stronger than a Rad/SS due to how IG functions with procs. Unless there is some additional synergy with /SS that I could be missing (which is likely haha). BTW, LOVE your avatar haha

Haha nice! People always quoted “no DDR” as a reason to stay away from Rad. However, I think they say the same about Dark Armor, and I’ve never really had TOO much of an issue with it on my DA/Staff Tanker. Any other melee sets you’d recommend going with Rad Armor? Rage Crash is the thing that worries me about SS. It also seems like you think it really shines on a Scrapper! In which case, SS is out the window =P haha

Awesome man! Wow, seems like a ton of love for Rad Armor is coming out of this thread. Is there a archetype you feel Rad Armor really thrives on? I could see Brute for the extra damage, tanker has a nice AOE increase. I also hear that Meltdown is really good on scrappers, with it’s larger damage buff.

Would love to see the updated build Sai!

Hey Gulb! Would your "Build #4" in your post still be your most current build?

Appreciate you!

That seems like it will always keep the game interesting. I know @Gulbasaur has a Fort build floating around. If you have one you love that you'd like to share Kai, I'd love to give one a whirl!

I've always found Fort's extremely interesting. They seem like they can do a bit of everything. Seems like a great teaming toon, but can solo as well.

+1 to Cold/Water. In my case, I run a Cold/Water Corruptor (with WB colored black so it looks like I'm controlling shadows :p). When I'm not tanking and joining TF's, this is the hero I pull out to help drop AV's. I also love the Sleet + Whirlpool synergy with Scourge ticking. Ends up dropping easier targets fairly quickly as well. Water also makes the toon relatively safe with it's KD's and heal.

I love all these combos you suggested! I have a KM/Ice Stalker that, while not the most optimal, is a ton of fun to play and incredibly slippery (pun intended). StJ is a set I've always been interested in, I could see it really shining on a Stalker. Would you mind sharing your build Pause?

Haha wow that is an awesome thematic toon 😂😂😂

This is a WEALTH of info and I appreciate it so much. You got me even more excited!!!

You’re a champion War, I appreciate this! /Elec stood out to me for the status protection it provides. Necro, Demons and Ninjas were the primaries I was most interested in.

This sounds extremely helpful, and you probably just saved me from many future faceplants 😂

Ahhhh gotcha! So it seems that EnM might just shine MORE on a scrapper, whereas StJ really shines on a Stalker. No idea it had the second best AoE. I'll have to search around the forums for your StJ/EnA build 😛 I'm sure it is somewhere.

This is SUPER helpful App, thanks so much!!! Appreciate the insight on the Hybrid incarnate. What macros do you use, if you don't mind me asking? Seems like that could be very helpful.

Hi all! Thinking of taking the first dive into Mastermind life, since there doesn't seem to be any other class quite like it. MM's have always come off a bit... intimidating however. Does anyone have any tips/advice for a newbie? I was looking at Demon's/Elect Affinity, but I am open on suggestions. Some questions I had: Are there any MM powerset suggestions that you'd recommend? Some strong pairings, or maybe ones that are easier to pilot than others? I've never set up key bindings. Is it something that is necessary for playing a MM and, if so, what bindings should I look into? Any general tips or tricks you'd give a new MM starting out. Thanks in advance all!

Linea! For your Stalker, what is some of your reasoning for recommending Stj/Ena or EM/Ena? Stj has always seemed pretty appealing.

Time seems to be the one! Currently leveling a Time/Rad Defender myself, and I have to say I agree with all the statements above.

Any key binding suggestions? I haven’t used bindings, since I primarily play melees heroes.

I was just gonna ask you! Appreciate it. I was torn with either Ill/Cold or Fire/Storm. Both seem like they can be amazing.

*Excuses myself while I go make a Fire/Storm Controller*

Fire/Storm just seems like such a COOL concept as well. Probably feels like power incarnate when you're playing it 😂
