Infinitum

Anytime, its a fun build to play, unkillable if you stay on your toes with the heal in tight spots.

Ive agreed with Galaxy hundreds of times, and i have disagreed with Galaxy hundreds of times, but one that that remains common is that theres not many that do understand the game like he does. and thats from both sides of any argument i have had with him. Im 100% certain of that fact.

This is a build im currently working on - on and off for stricktly AOE real world and Farming capabilities. Its awesome untill you get to an EB or hardened boss then it takes a while to take down - it melts everything else though. If anyone has suggestions to something i may be missing to make it more deadly to hardened targets i am all eyes and open ears also - as my altitis has made me hit a self imposed dead end on this one.

Here ya go, its awesome - just leveled it to 50 a few weeks ago. Im addicted to tankers again, lol its the best kinda drug. Radianite - Tanker (Radiation Armor - Radiation Melee).mxd

I would probably start with this and see how it went. Tanker (Shield Defense - Broadsword).mxd

yeah basically just develop a working understanding of the powerset - in this case BS and then swap powers around till you achieve optimal attack with that powerset. I dont know BS too well yet either unfortunately or i would spec something out for you, and would probably get it close, but there would be some guesswork involved by using raw numbers. The shield side is IMO perfection though, unless you dont like fly, but even then you can swap that out and it shouldnt affect survivability at all.

Yes, I rolled one in honor of the changes. Its awesome, and if you go assault radial and musculature core. Those two boost your damage on lightning rod to ST levels, and gets thunderstrike to a relatively good but not the best ST levels. I used my standard shield defensive build because it just works. Then changed those two incarnate powers for the damage. I will probably get resilient alpha and melee hybrid also as backups though. For attacks I have charged brawl with blistering cold slotted for spamming a fast attack with the hold from the set. Chained induction because it's fast and spreads. Thunderstrike Lightning rod Shield charge. Mighty radial Thats enough sustained AoE to demolish any mob ive come across, and add in the two incarnate +damage powers - assault hybrid is almost like a crit power, you are doing boss killing damage at that point. Full burst of Build up, lightning rod, thunderstrike, shield charge, chain induction, mighty. Is nigh unstoppable. Its a lot of fun.

Don't forget about the scaling resistance.

That sounds like a mythical high tech space ninja.

Stone/TW. Stone: High end usage -damage -speed -recharge. TW: An attack set predicated on damage, recharge, maneuverability and speed with high end usage.

Sounds like TW. lol

Dark armor + TW with arctic mastery.

i was thinking end usage, or is that dark armor?

I dunno with fire you can cap resistances and healing flames is like a click regen it's up so often. Wouldn't BU + FE also make ET even more bursty? I think I could make that work. SR / Dark maybe?

this is mine, theres not much it cant do, overcome or outright boot to the head. Twilight_Warrior_-_Scrapper_Martial_Arts_-_Ninjitsu.mxd

From the stand point of: I activate power and more stuff falls down with the proc vs less without. Id say pseudopet or not they are working. Some even mag up to kb when hit.

The way to look at shield is, its at least top three in terms of survivability. Then you get shield charge which is a great attack. Then you get one with the shield which is an awesome t9. Literally anything thats allowed is a good pairing with shield, and the correct way to slot it is to slot shield first and optimize it then build the attack around it.

all PBAOE and all self teleporters.

They take PBAOE enhancements though. And function more like PBAOE than a targeted aoe because the damage done is PBAOE once the teleport part is over, ideally you are literally in the middle of the mob hence the point blank part of the PBAOE. I can confirm avalanche procs knockdown really well in both LR and SC.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to FA then. I run a lot of MLTF and nothing's worse than being taken out of combat because you can't see.

Never really thought about sets though, FA is an end hog, is there a set that does + perception that would equal FA?

Thats a good look at the set, do you know if the kismet unique will allow you to see through Arachnos blinds? Or do you need something with + perception? I mainly have focused accuracy to see through enemies that can blind.

I like the Apex battle maiden approach, that would be fun to have options like that. Maybe name that Ultimate enemies and put it in the selection where ebs avs are.

Im running Street Justice on my Main, and it does a mix of great aoe and single target, crushing uppercut on AAO + combat readiness is nasty.
