TW/BIO build help

[Sweetcake]

I'm trying to get my head around TW/BIO and would like some input.

I tend to make a build before even making the character and as I have played neither set previously I'm unsure of optimum attack chains/powers.

Would the following be viable or not?

Any tweaks that could be made to improve?

Thanks in advance

IIRC, the optimal attack chain is Follow Through - Rend Armor - Crushing Blow - Follow Through - Arc of Destruction - Crushing Blow. When Momentum isn't active, either RA or AoD becomes the Momentum-generating power, skipping one CB.

 

With that in mind, it might be good to slot FT with 5 Heca (all but dam/rech, if build allows) + the Critical Strikes proc.

 

For AoD, the Arma set is worth it as the proc adds a non-negligible amount of damage (5 pieces, and complete it with the Fury proc as you did).

I wouldn't bother 3-slotting defense powers with LotGs. Stick a defense and a defense/end, ++ your IOs and you get ~90% of the effect for 2/3 of the slots. Gives you a few extra slots to play with.

Splitting Superior Scrapper Strikes in 2 (3 + 3) can let you grab 10% S/L defense easily. This can be useful to /bio builds which tend to have decent F/C/E/N with S/L lagging behind.

I'd give Ablative Carapace some +heal love, it's an excellent absorb and regeneration power. Recharge hardly needs enhancing with Hasten and your set bonuses (although if you end up putting 2+ slots in Ablative, you'll want to start with Heal and Heal/Rech for obvious reasons).

Unless you have specific survivability goals, avoid Agility alpha. +recharge alphas hurt your proc rate. I'd go Musculature to boost your tremendous damage even further.

Shield Wall and Reactive Defenses are IMHO staple IOs every build should include. You get at the very least +8% res to all with both these IOs combined. Really helpful in offsetting Offensive Adaptation.

 

(I also consider Kismet +tohit a must have as well, but YMMV on that one.)

Thanks for the reply.

I hadn't even considered splitting scrappers strikes, I may have a look at a few of my previous builds with that in mind.

I also didn't know the recharge alphas caused issues with procs so that is something I will try.

I'll have a rebuild and see what I can do, thanks once again for your input.
