Shield/Ice/Soul - R4 - 70x passive

[AurianArchive]

A quick update on a Shield Tanker designed for 70x passive.

 

Since this is actually based on a Shield/Ice I ran this build attempts to fix some of my practical play issues with Tanker-Shield-Ice-R3. 

 

The overall largest change was to bring in [One With the Shield] to set up an alternation-option with [Melee Core Hybrid] to handle Tower-Boosted Recluse. I haven't tested this approach yet, but at least on paper the framework should be capable of fending off Recluse until the Damage tower can be dropped by even slow-dps teams.

What does "Passive" mean?

What does "Passive" mean?

On the assumption that you are familiar with the Atta-Caves map which is used in 70x-style fire farms, as the map loads you activate various patrols. The construction of the map creates a limited number of junction points that a large number of the patrols will cross.

 

"Passive" builds are capable of setting up at one of these junction points, placing a single power on auto, and then surviving the patrolling mobs with no further input from the player. This implicitly means a build capable of withstanding a [Junction Storm]; a scenario created when there are no minions or lieutenants left, aggro cycles hit the reset clock, and all available bosses que their alpha strike for an enforced hit. According to various calculations a [Junction Storm] can spike to ~2.5k~3k damage, with ~1.3k to ~2.5k Sustained damage. 

 

Generally speaking the minimum level of survivability to pull this off without active heals is ~22hp/s regeneration, 80%+ average resist, and 45% (softcap) defense. 

 

Also generally speaking: it's an incredibly slow way to earn rewards, but if you have problems with lag or limited play-time, having a passive-capable build can (generally speaking) get you at least some in-game rewards such as Enhancement Catalysts, Enhancement Converters, I-Salvage, and Influence with minimal game interaction. 

 

Passive builds won't make you a DemiGod that can solo everything, but generally speaking, most of the passive builds in my Archive are good for more than just the synthetic combat conditions of the 70x-style fire-farms.
