Looking for a A/TA build budget build

Hi. Unfortunately I believe it will be hard to come up with a decent build for ~50 million. But, still... Here's what I'd call a budget build, while still bringing enough bonuses to make it worth your time and investment.

 

No purples, no LoG+7,5rech, no expensive uniques. It's still going to be over 50 mil, unless you bid for cheap and wait a week or so until you get the bargain.

 

I'd be happy to send you some inf or some of the IOs, if you need.

The only way you're going to get a "50 Mill" build is to rely entirely on just basic IO's in the build and only slot in set IO's if you get the recipe dropped on you, but even in that circumstance you'd be facing a lot of crafting costs either way. If you're in need of some funds, there are a lot of things you can do to easily build up some influence. Find a Mothership Raid in the RWZ and collect up 1,000 (minimum) V-Merits and cash those in for regular Merits, than cash those in for Converters or Boosters and sell those on the AH, you should net 20-30 million Inf in a quick hurry for only a simple 30-40 minute investment of your time.

 

An average IO build costs around 250-350 million inf (buying outright), and an effective "top" tier build can tap out around 650m depending on how crazy you try and get for Purple/PvP and Winter sets.

Absolutely you can create a budget build for most any character.

 

Will it have all the bells a whistles, no of course not. Will it be fun, sure!

 

Min/maxing isn't for everyone and gets so much attention that sets unreasonable expectations for many new or casual players. I'll take a look and post something here in a bit.

Okay. Not bad for a first pass. (fyi there are potentially 120-ish slots to buy enhancements for on any lvl 50 build)

 

Defense = 47.4% for Ranged

Resistance = 38.8% for S/L (51.5% with Tough on)

 

Adding one Knockback Protection would be be a quality of life improvement.

Expenses = Gaussian in Aim, Steadfast in Tough, Miracle in Health, Performance Shifter in Stamina


Simple IO set build

Looked at it for a minute and dropping Ice Arrow or Oil Slick and re-purposing those slots as follows:

2 in Tough (Steadfast Knockback, Gladiators 3% Def)

1 in Explosive Arrow (Sudden Acceleration knockback to knockdown {teams will appreciate it} OR Force Feedback chance for +Recharge)

2 in Health (Numina's +Reg/+Rec, Regenerative Tissue +Reg)

There is a lot levers to push and pull with Archery / Trick Arrow.

Example: By level 43 (I think) without slotting anything in Ice Arrow or Stunning Shot, Ranged defense is at 40.9% with 12 slots remaining.

 

Is it going to break Pylon records or solo task forces, nah. But you just wanted to shoot arrows and not face plant, right?
