The Chronology of my Archtype Challenge

[BasherBot]

Because I am a mad man with a lot of time on his hands... I'm going to use lvl all potential Archtype/powerset combinations in alphabetical order (starting with an Archery/Atomic Blaster). I'll be using Robotech's powerlvling guide to get characters up to max level: 

I'll post here weekly with progress updates and thoughts on the build at that point in time. I encourage people to share thoughts and builds as I make my way down the near endless task of leveling and building each archtype's potential powerset combos

 

Current: Archery/Atomic Blaster

 

Next: Either Archery/Dark or AR/Atomic... Depending on how I want to handle it

@Major_Decoycan you elaborate on your chart here?  What does it show?

[Major_Decoy]

It shows a potential ordering. Honestly, it works better for two infinite lists.

I forgot about Atomic Manipulation... I'll need to fix my start point

[Greycat]

Heh. I'd done something just dealing with Controllers on live.

 

Finished it, then they introduced... think it was Electric. Though I was just going for "one of each control set," not all pairings or anything.

What sort of enhancements are you planning to put on them @BasherBot?

Not sure yet at the moment, but I'm planning on a more single target focused build for the Archery/Atomic build (using Rain as my primary AoE). I don't have any intention for using the p2w enhancements though, they make things a tad too easy pre level 20 lol

[BasherBot]

Due to some IRL interference and personal indecisiveness... I'm going to have to delay the first weekly update until Friday of next week

[BasherBot]

Mini update: I (finally) decided to make the primary powersets my first go, meaning the next build after this is Assault Rifle/Atomic.

 

Other things of note are that I have two builds set up thanks to the help of Arklide on the discord server. I'll go over those in the main update on Friday. I might show the costume on the main update... Not sure yet. Until then: known that Radio Waver is getting ready to kick some villainous ass 😉

Weekly Update #1: April 17th, 2020

 

Current build: Archery and Atomic Manipulation Blaster

 

Hero name: Radio Waver

 

Next Build: Assault Rifle and Atomic Manipulation Blaster

 

Hero Name: [Redacted]

 

Current Progress: Lvl 24 (finished Synapse yesterday in the evening)

 

I would like to start by thanking @Major_Decoy for that lovely chart for Blasters. I would've messed this up big time without it. Today I will be going over some things I've noted or have planned out since I started playing this build.

 

1: having double Aim is (thanks to Ionize) is really fun and allows you to do a decent chunk of damage.

2: Thanks to Metabolic Acceleration you are surprisingly durable as a Blaster. Which is useful for the build we are going to use.

3: I found myself never in a position to utilize Gamma Rays from the Atomic powerset. The only attack I have is Electron Shackles and you need at least two to proc it

4: Beta Decay is a strong debuff since it can stack Defiant like nobodies business... But also requires you to be in melee range to use correctly.

5: If you are not careful, the combination of Aim, Ionize, Ranged Shot and Explosive Shot can burn through your endurance quickly... So be sure to keep on eye on it before you use all your big burst.

 

Blaster_-_Archery_-_Atomic_Manipulation_melee.mxd

 

This build is focused on maximizing the power of Beta Decay by allowing you to get into melee range without fear of getting deleted the moment you pull aggro. It has strong single target and AoE... But keep in mind you are not a Tanker... You can still get overwhelmed easily. Remember to still remain cautious while doing solo content with this build.

 

I'll end this week off by showing you all Radio Waver's costume. Enjoy:

This is awesome. Are there enough character slots to complete this or will you have to use multiple accounts?

There are enough character slots if I use 2 servers to make it work. There are 1000 slots per server... But well over a hundred combinations per Archetype

Gotcha. I didn’t even think to use another server instead of another account.

It's probably not as obvious or well known, but the character limits are based on servers rather than accounts.

 

Unfortunately I'm on a hiatus now in order to better deal with my mental state and depression issues.

Gotcha. I hope you are able to take care of your mental health. I have a history of depression/anxiety so I understand how difficult that can be.
