Trying to resurrect this... anything up to date after the sonic nerfs?

I'm curious about this too. Thinking of rolling a Defender and my options are Sonic/Sonic or Kin/Sonic. I like the idea of pure sonic more, but it seems like people like kinetics as a primary more.

I'd be curious about this build too. Trying to decide between Kinetic/Sonic or Sonic/Sonic myself. Pure Sonic looks a little more fun, but it seems like Kin/Sonic gets more love in game.

Having trouble deciding what the best archetype works best with this combination. I'm leaning towards brute, but: Brute seems to be the best all-rounder of resists + DPS-- Tanker seems to have slightly better resists than the brute, but has the lowest DPS numbers per the minmax pylon thread-- Stalker has the best solo DPS numbers per the minmax pylon thread, but obviously squishy-- Scrapper also does decent solo damage, but similarly squishy. Thoughts? I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to builds, this is all based on reading on the forums, mostly from @Hyperstrike and @Infinitum. Any help is appreciated!

It's mostly that I see a ton of Super Strength builds and a decent amount of Dark Melee by comparison. Is the weaker AoE noticable, or mitigated enough by Incarnate abilities? Super Strength seems like the clear winner, but also just so... boring.

Looking at the stats it seems like Invulnerability / Energy Melee would make a great tanker, but I hardly see any builds on here and not many out in the wild. Do they secretly suck, or am I just not looking in the right place? I'd love to roll one.

Did Torchbearer lose a lot of active players? When the game picked back up it seemed like this was going to be the "main" server. Judging by the number of forum posts it seems like the others are more popular. Do the others have more players because they have a specific unofficial niche (like the EU/roleplaying servers)?

Cool, thank you!

Interesting. Have you tried AV/GM killing with this bad boy or is it mostly for mobs and story gameplay? I'm wondering if I'd need two separate builds to accomplish that.

Are the titles and powers account-wide or per character?

Would you assume this is a better all-rounder than a scrapper with the same moveset?

I'd be curious how a Spines/Bio would do as a brute/scrapper/stalker. Combed the forums and didn't see anything. Is scrapper considered the go-to for bio because of damage? Or does brute win out due to survivability?

Anyone have a Spines/Bio DPS monster build available? Interested in a brute version, too, but scrappers seem to pack a little more punch.

Having trouble getting used to a troller. What's your attack chain? Are there powers on here that are just enhancement mules or do you use pretty much everything?

Thank you kindly!

Thank you! I'll give this a shot on the test server and compare to my fire/rad.

@Helencarnate What is your attack chain with this build? Lots to click here.

I have a desire to re-roll my main from live, but after doing some light research I've found that Fire/Atomic has insane DPS output. Anyone have experience with both? I'd love to have a good "ranged all rounder" toon to run with. Fire/Rad Corr was exceptional at that on live, because I could team or solo, but I'm wondering if Fire/Atomic is just significantly better. I don't see a lot of discussion about either.

Been combing your posts for this... where can I find that build!?

Interesting. I'd definitely still be interested in your Ill/Storm build out of curiosity to give it a shot on the test server (once I figure out how to log into it) so I can compare to the mastermind and see how I like the gameplay differences. Thanks for sharing your MM build! Is this in reference to your Fire/Atomic blaster or your StJ/Rad brute? Would still love to see that blaster build (or something viable in the main game) since I'm awful at cobbling any together.

Does this "ungranite" build solve that issue? Or is stone armor just kind of useless without it and stone melee not as good in the damage department? I have a concept for a character that I want to play, but I don't want to scale him all the way up if I'm going to be lagging behind.

Have you given this build a shot at all? Curious if it's viable. I'd love to play Stone/Stone but I don't see anyone using them, and I'm wondering if it's for good reason... it seems the options are: 1) Slow moving with granite, 2)not softcapped without granite 3)low damage?

I didn't know that. Do you have a build I could test out? Thank you for all the info!

I'd love to play with Spines/Dark Armor, but I'm garbage at builds. What is the consensus for the best archetype for these powersets? I know spines is used a lot on Brutes for farming, and more on Scrappers/Stalkers for damage dealing. I already have a farm build, so I'd like for this to be a good "all around" toon for regular play - TFs, AVs, Team and Solo. Thoughts?

I'd prefer not having to constantly pop those before every battle if possible. The reason I brought this up is because I had a Fire/Rad Corr on live that I really enjoyed playing, but Fire/Atomic would fit the concept and I want to roll a ranged damage dealer/GM Killer. Do you have thoughts on a comparison of the two for regular gameplay? Thanks!
