How bad is my build? First ever

Targren · April 7, 2020

So I never played in the live days, just started a few weeks back on HC, and my only 50 is a PLed Fire Farmer I made so that I could work on real characters, like Faust. This is the first build I ever tried to make ahead of time (in mids, with some mistakes I couldn't figure out how to fix, like a few misplaced slots, without starting all over).

So far, most of my experience has been soloing and basically healbotting for my minions. That actually has been working out pretty well for me, and I rather like the playstyle of it. So I made this with that idea in mind.

I know I'm probably using regular IOs in places where Sets might work, since I'm not too up to speed on what all is out there, set-wise, but that's probably the least of my problems.

post the link or the data chunk.. makes it easier to review please

Are you looking to use IOs ?

You said you have a farmer is the farmer slotted with IOs ?

Do you understand the defense and resistance game mechanics ?

I would first look at this forum for Demon Pain.. its a common build.. No need to reinvent the wheel.. The builds are just about pretty much the same regardless minus a few different powers or IO sets..

Why do I ask the questions above ?

Your build is mixing Crafted IOs with set IOs and your very much lacking in set bonuses.

Pain is mostly a resistance regen build.. So you need to work on cranking them up..

This is an old build I had from actually the old forums.

I am sure someone could take it here and rework it up to some thing better to today's standards, but it still works..

What your looking at is The Regeneration which is at 702% which is scrapper range regen.

You are covered in 2 type defense caps Range, AOE and midway with Melee.

So your regen will help cover the Melee defense weakness.

Smash and Lethal are at resistance cap, which is the most common damage component in the game..

World of Pain is Perma.

How it works is you provoke mobs onto you.. Oppressive Gloom will help tons stunning the low level mobs as the pets take out the bosses.

Provoke, heal or buff, Provoke, Heal or Buff, ETC.

whip attack to try to get the recharge off and its a decent cone debuff.

Now that pets will obey much better should be easier as they won't run off.

Thanks for the feedback. That's pretty much just what I needed to hear. I knew it was pretty amateurish, but didn't know that there were other demon/Pain builds about. I haven't seen it talked about much.

Mostly I was relying on crafted ios since I know I can get them. I ran into a lot of problems trying to kit out the LBFF.

Thanks for the help. 🙂

One thing to note with Hell on Earth is that it can take all of the resist/defense aura IOs from the various sets so that you can free up those slots in your regular pets for procs and such. The power can take all of them and they will be functioning even when your hell on earth power isn't active:
Edict of the Master
Sovereign Right

Command of the Mastermind

Call to Arms
Expedient Reinforcement

Mark of Supremacy

Having these 6 Aura IOs slotted will take your mastermind to the next level by making your pets extremely more durable

And this is why I read Forums. I have a Demon/Pain build in the 30s somewhere and this will definitely get done in my next respec!

Would that also work in Thugs - Gang War?
