Shard Balancing XP Bonuses End with Maintenance November 5th ×

Who would get the most use out of the complete Fighting pool?

I have the urge to use the whole thing, all 3 attacks, and even including Brawl because it synergizes with them. They are melee attacks, so I feel like a melee AT makes sense - except that a melee AT already has better moves, so a melee AT doesn't really make sense. Maybe a melee Dominator? Take the handful of melee attacks in their AT combined with Fighting, lock down a group, and go punch them?

There are some controller primaries that have great controls, but may be a little lacking in the damage department.  If you can lock down or otherwise setup containment, and all you need is some damage, then fighting may be a good option.  If you're using the new electrical manipulation, tough may stack nicely while you are in your Farraday cage.  If you're playing a mastermind where you basically only take the 3 pets and 2 upgrades, but still want to mix it up, the fighting pool attacks may be attractive to you as well.

Attack wise, I think I've had the most use of it on a mastermind that has melee-heavy critters. 

 

"For the heck of it" wise, I picked Kick up on a brute specifically because of where the kick looked like it landed. Really fit the character. 🙂

A scrapper whose primary has several skippable powers comes to mind.  Scrapper, because all scrapper primaries have at least one skippable power in Provoke.  If you are of the school that the only combo you need from Dual Blades is Attack Vitals, that's the easiest choice.  Other attack sets with skippable stuff include Kinetic and Psi Melee.  Willpower, Invulnerability, and Fire are armor sets that have several very optional powers.

I don't have a lot of experience with the set, on any AT, but I will say that it's very satisfying when one of my Corruptors puts down a big bad with a scourged punch or kick.

 

Disclaimer:  I took the Fighting Pool on said character strictly for RP reasons.  It probably isn't optimal, but, you know, SCOURGE!!!

My Beast/Empathy mastermind is on track to take the entire pool.   

 

Boxing/Kick/Crosspunch to melee with her pets. Endurance cost for these attacks is FAR more reasonable than the MM direct attacks, and being in melee ensures my melee pets are always in range of Supremacy and Pet Aura IOs, and always in range of Healing Aura for maintenence heals.  Between bodyguard mode, set bonues, AND tough, she's actually got quite a bit of Smashing Lethal resistance. I haven't decided to take Weave yet, but really... I mean I have everything else.... and it's not like more defense sucks....

Well it should be, an MM in body guard mode was basically the devs vision for a red side tank, not the brute.

Like @greycat and @MTeague, I think that a melee-oriented MM will get the most use out of it. I'm using it on a NinKin, I can see Beasts and Necros also having good use for it (though both Beasts and Necros do have decent attacks while Ninja primary attacks are horribad). And a secondary that pushes you into melee range like Poison or Kinetics or Time would work. Time would probably be best for it while also helping keep the fragile henchmen alive.

I could see Controllers possibly taking this pool given they could possibly get containment procs off of it!

Maybe.  The problem is when do you take the powers, and how many slots can you devote to them.  Perhaps if you had a primary and secondary with a few skippable powers at the right levels.  But my Mind/Kin controllers was pretty much up to his Epic Pool before he had much wiggle room to consider taking extra powers, and the epic pools hit pretty hard and hit from range.

Super Strength. Cross Punch would give it a 2nd AoE and its DPA is on par with Haymaker (the 2nd best DPA attack SS has, sadly).

 

Also, max synergy Boxing is better DPA than both Jab and Punch. So if you want to use it as a T1 type filler, it's not bad (not great either). More useful if exemplaring.

 

Personally, I only use Knockout Blow, Rage, and Footstomp from SS. I'm forced to take Jab, and I tend to take Taunt. Otherwise, I have more room to choose other powers, and going for max synergy Cross Punch is definitely feasible.

Also, I notice lots of folks mentioning controllers. FYI, the damage from Cross Punch Containment is wrong. It uses Boxings damage scale instead of its own, so it does less damage than expected. Hopefully that bug gets fixed soon.

I took the full set on my Petless MM but didn't slot up Boxing or Kick. Might have to revisit that in the future, especially since the prestige attacks (sands of mu et al.) still do more damage than anything else she's using.

A blaster with the devices secondary, since a lot of Devices can be skipped. I have a Guns/Dev blaster who’s got 3 of the set. It’s mainly conceptual, but, if I were to go full-on blapper, I think it might result in some interesting utility, what with the usual blasting, plus Field Operative (stealth), targeting drone, and gun drone.  I agree with a previously poster that using a weaponless primary would probably be preferable. I remember trying to fold fighting in with a staff character, and being annoyed with having to rearm the staff when I switched. 

 

Anyway, the main thing I find about having boxing on my guns toon isn’t that I don’t use much melee at all on teams. I might activate a boxIng strike to throw disorient on a troublesome target,

I actually came here to say this. Swapping Cross Punch for Haymaker with its ability to take the -Res proc results in better "DPS". What ends up making the scenario unfortunately hilarious is that taking Fighting to swap out Super Strength's abilities, and adding double stacked Rage means its doing ridiculous damage no matter which way you look at it.

 

Here's a build that was designed specifically to take Boxing and Cross Punch (and is just insane in general) [Granite/SS/Soul Tanker]:

However, what I think you're probably more inclined to imagining @jacehan is a build I put together and posted in my Defender Proc Monster thread a month or two ago called "The MAN", which is a Fighting Pool specific Defender build made to maximize the Defender Buff/Debuffs out of Traps under the guise of making a "Human" (as possible) character. Procs make up for damage shortcomings, and a couple of Assault Rifle attacks help give some AoE so it's not totally devoid of efficiency.

Super Strength. Cross Punch would give it a 2nd AoE and its DPA is on par with Haymaker (the 2nd best DPA attack SS has, sadly).

 

Also, max synergy Boxing is better DPA than both Jab and Punch. So if you want to use it as a T1 type filler, it's not bad (not great either). More useful if exemplaring.

 

Personally, I only use Knockout Blow, Rage, and Footstomp from SS. I'm forced to take Jab, and I tend to take Taunt. Otherwise, I have more room to choose other powers, and going for max synergy Cross Punch is definitely feasible. 

 

 

I basically came to this conclusion recently on a SS brute I have. Adding in Spring Attack for more AoE as well. Hurl was an easy drop for me. I actually have more slots than I need for commons at an initial glance so I still need to work on the build and then obviously see what works for an IO set based build.
