DPS Sonic/Sonic Defender?

RubberSoul · February 18, 2020

I'm basically looking for a build to run TF and solo missions now and then. I'm such a bozo when it comes to mids that I would slot as many purples as I can and call it a day, but I know there are better ways of doing it. I want the needle to be a little closer to DPS than Defense for this build.

You said you wanted this more offensively focused so here it goes:

-Features proc GALORE...

-Dreadful Wail -> multiproc spring attack is a mob insta nuke

-Shockwave is made into a proc beast with FF to be spammable with Howl, Howl as additional procs to make it actually deal damage sometimes

-Dominate after the normal -res has been applied does SEVERE damage with all the procs

-Your hits have lots of procs naturally to deal more damage than usual with the -res, this is going to be exceptional

-Has S/L res capped

-Has great res to pretty much everything

-Provides meaty 31.5% res to S/L/E/N/F/C/T to all teammates regardless if they're in your bubble or not

-Provides 55% res to S/L/E/N/F/C/T if they ARE in your bubble

-An EXCELLENT pocket-booster char for res.

I think I need to start scouring your forum history for awesome builds now.....

You might want to look into incorporating a proc'd out screech. You'll achieve better effective DPS and better average resistance debuffs.
