*Build Request* AR/Atomic

[DrBasics]

I been messing around in pines and I can't really get this guy up to par as far as not being a complete squish-fest. Def is always so low. The only caveat I have is I kind of need the LRM for character purposes. Also hasten would be nice. Thanks in advanced guys!

If you need LRM, you will be squishie.

What am I missing out on that would replace LRM?

[KaizenSoze]

Taking Munitions Mastery mean losing access to the much better resist power and def powers in the other pools. Body Armor is not very good.

 

You should post your build. Generally to get enough def, tough, weave, and maneuvers have to be taken.

 

Plus creative slotting of immobilize, hold, and other non-low damaging powers can get you ranged def capped.

 

If you need to stick with a tech theme, look at Force Mastery. There are some AR/Dev builds here to give you an idea.

Done, yeah I know that the Munitions Mastery's body armor doesn't provide any DEF only RES, but the LRM is just something  that fits the character, so I just need it. Concepts, what you gonna do, am I right?!

[KaizenSoze]

The problem is not that body armor only provides resists, but that it is only 8.75% vs 19+ for other pools. It is what you pay for a auto power.

 

Given that, the game is not hardcore, so go with your concept.

 

One way to increase your def. If you take tough and/or body armor there are two resistance enhancements set pieces that give +3 def each.

Yeah I got both of those slotted in my body armor ability.
