PyroBeetle Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Inspired by a post in the Tanker Proc Monster Thread, and a classic disco song by Carl Douglas, I decided to attempt a tank centered around a Proc Monster Kinetic Melee. I thought that the extra recharge in Electric Armor would prove to be helpful in a proc monster build, and I really do not enjoy playing Bio, despite how solid it is.

I have so far found this build fun to play. The lightning field is constant damage and procs the two ATOs consistently. The cone I usually use on my way into combat to delay the alpha with the knockdown, and use a pop and shoot when I use it during a fight. It is less than ideal, but it is doable. A single small purple will softcap the Melee Defense, and the build is at 90% S/L/E and good F/C/Psi. Toxic is of course a hole, but is fairly rare to encounter in large amounts. I am not all that great at theory crafting, and am hoping that posting this build here will excite some comments among the experts here on how to improve the build.

Caulderone Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The primary issue I see with your build is your accuracy. Your final to-hit vs +4 mobs is right around 80%, except for BB at 66%, with Tactics ON. Against +3, you are at 95% with Tactics on, except for BB at 80%. So, with Alpha's +1 level, you'll be fine against things at level 45-50+. But, if you exemplar below 45, losing Alpha and then losing Tactics below 42, you are going to struggle at +3 and +4. That may not be a problem, as you may drop the difficulty below 45 or never exemplar, but as is, if you do drop down/exemplar, you are going to whiff a lot on attacks.

Seems to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
