Paine-chan Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've been trying to make a SS/INV brute build with maxed positional defenses but I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me with a build like this? Going for a Statesman/Superman/Homelander type character. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haijinx Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Maybe consider a tanker? Once the tanker changes come out the damage will be much closer, and the tanker is much easier to softcap posistionals. Inv is set up for Typed, so that's fairly difficult.

Sidious Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 this is a "Classic Paragon" (think Superman) build I'm using. It's hella-fun.

Haijinx Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 That seems decent, but it that wouldn't get you capped posistionals would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-202 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Invulnerability's defense based powers (eg Tough Hide and Invincibility) give elemental based defense, not positional. It's easier to work with that than try to fit a round peg in a square hole. You can pretty easily hit the s/l/f/c/e/n defense caps, way before you hit the positional caps. Then your only real hole is psi damage, but even that can be boosted up into the 20% range just using the standards (weave, cj, gladiator armor, steadfast, random io bonuses) and you can drop a few Impervium armors in to help with the resist. TLDR: go with elemental defense, not positional, and learn to cope with / live with the psi hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that goal is a requirement - Might be easier to play /SR or /Shield and build up resistances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
