Haha just wrote on your other post! How have you enjoyed leveling this hero?
-
I have a Water/Cold Corruptor, but a Storm/Water Defender seems intriguing. How have you liked leveling it?
-
This build looks like it'd be an absolute AV kill, but clean up trash mobs as well with spin. Very nice.
-
Great clarification. What is your reasoning for leaning towards a scrapper? I know Bio is known to shine on a scrapper as it makes them survivable *enough* while also boosting up their damage significantly.
-
Very interested in running this combo myself. I’ve been looking for a tanker to try and do a @Werner rules ITF challenge, and I feel this would be a phenomenal combo to do it. @nihill was kind enough to share some insight into his build for me. If anyone else has experience with this combo and builds they’d like to share, that’d be wonderful!
-
Ice/Spines or Ice/Rad sound like they’d be the ultimate aggro tank haha
-
Idk if I've ever seen a more accurate GIF 😂 Hopefully they do some updating to it, similar to EM.
-
True, they seem like a REALLY solid match. I rolled my first willpower tanker not too long ago and matched it up with StJ, just for thematic reasons. I could definitely see Shield/StJ being a TON of fun though. I know it's not the BEST, but I dig Kinetic Melee's animations and I've been looking at it on a Tanker as well.
-
I'm a huge shield fan and I NEVER thought of stone melee with it. For some reason I always imagined it as a "2 handed" weapon type of thing due to the stone clubs. Awesome suggestion.
-
Yeah I remember a huge tanker thread talking about that once! I seem to remember Shield Defense being great at it. Any other combo’s you’d recommend?
-
Amen! That reminds me though: MA still the reigning Brunker King with Fire Armor?
-
I’d also recommend @Sovera’s fire tanker builds. For him, the best crowd control for baddies is death =P
-
Can vouch for this. I’ve run a few of @Infinitum’s builds, and they all are outstanding in endgame content.
-
Really cool, appreciate the info man!
-
Good to know! That is an interesting/cool interaction between Ice Armor and Rad Melee. To clarify, your “pet” will continue to do damage, even while you’re in hibernate?
-
Question on that: I heard that Rad Melee's AOE damage toggle continues to tick even when you use hibernate... I wonder if it's the same for Spines? Pretty cool interaction if so.
-
Good to know. Ice/Spines sounds like it could be an inescapable tank, although I’m sure it could work well on a scrapper as well. Rad/Bio strikes be as being DECENT AOE for a scrapper, while also being able to take down AV’s.
-
Yeah. Now I’m thinking I need to make a Rad/Bio scrapper and a Ice/Spines Tanker 😂 I believe Spines has a slow on it’s damage aura as well? Could just be slow overkill.
-
GREAT points. Atom Smasher I don’t really mind, since I typically slot an Avalanche set into it. Adding the knockdown makes it more satisfying to me. But Devastating Blow needs an update haha
-
One thing to note: I believe Brutes have the same resistance cap as Tankers, which is 90%. They have a tougher time getting to that number, however.
-
+1 to the animation on devastating blow 😂 I was looking at it in the character creator and like “I could go get a drink before this animation finished” lol
-
Thanks Shinobi! This is very helpful. I knew Rad Melee had it's heal, but I had no idea how strong it was! I have a DM/Shield scrapper (my only Scrapper currently), so perhaps I'll take a look at a couple other secondaries just to switch it up. I was looking at Ice Armor, but it is such an endurance hog so that scares me away a bit. Bio seems like it MAY be a bit more manageable.
-
Appreciate this Myshkin! All of that makes sense. Per your point of matching it with a secondary that has a damage aura, I was looking at either Bio or Ice Armor. Would you have a recommendation?
-
How does it perform on scrappers? I’ve always looked at it as a Brute/Tanker set, but it seems to do well on the Trapdoor tests. Anyone have any experience with it on scrappers? How do you feel it stacks up to other primaries?
