Stj/Bio Build

[Lockpick]

All,

 

I have never tried Bio, so thought I would give it a whirl.  The problem is I have no idea how to slot Bio.  I made a build and was hoping for suggestions.  My intention was to build for recharge and leverage Shadow Meld for defense.  Any thoughts appreciated.

The main things we do different would be the slots for DNA SIphon, and the Attack Powers i guess. 

 

DNA Siphon with 4 procs is a good AoE Power that i constantly use, The purple Procs all deal more Damage than the other ones.

 

Also here is something that i had posted a while ago, which applies here as well:

 

Scrappers may get away with mindless button smashing but Stalkers need to utilize Assassin Focus Stacks. Each stack increase Assassin Strike crit chance by 33 %. So you would want 3 Stacks that give AS a orange circle to indicate a guaranteed crit. 

 

With StJ you also want 3 Combo Points, because it increases the damage of your Finishers. Combo Points also give some secondary effect but we don't care for that we want 3 Stacks for max damage, especially with Crushing Uppercut out of Stealth for anorher guaranteed crit.

 

Idealy you want therefore 2 Attacks + Assasin Strike + Crushing Uppercut and just repeat this chain all day. Unfortunately CU has such a big cooldown that you have to alternate every second cycle with another Finisher. This could be spinning strike, but let's be honest spinning strike sucks on single target fights. This is the reason why i like to pick Sweeping cross as my second finisher on Single target figths. The rotation would be:

 

Crushing Uppercut -> Shin Breaker -> Heavy Blow -> Assassin Strike

-> Sweeping Cross -> Shin Breaker -> Heavy Blow -> Assassin Strike -> REPEAT!!!!!

 

If you do it this way you have 8 Attacks with

2 Assassin Strike as guaranteed crit

Crushing Uppercut with 3 Combo Points as Guaranteed Crit

Sweping Cross with 3 Combo Points as guaranteed crit

Achiles Heel debuff in Shin Breaker

Fury of the Gladiator Debuff in Sweeping Cross

 

4 out of 8 Attacks guaranteed crit. 4 attacks have 'just a normal chance' to crit and some resist debuff on your target. I use this rotation on AV and it has helped me a lot.

I have not done the math but you could replace Sweeping Cross with moonbeam i guess. it will hit harder but the -Res proc will be missing. And to be honest, it is a chance to get a Assassin Focus stack and attacks can miss. That is just in a ideal world.

 

I hope that i could help you!

[Lockpick]

Thanks for the feedback.  I was looking at DNA Siphon as a recovery tool; didn't really think about it as a damage power.  I'll try it as damage.  I guess Parasitic Aura and Boundless Energy should be good for recovery and regeneration.  I'll also switch out Initial Strike for Heavy Blow.  Not sure why I took Initial Strike, I think it was because my Stj/SR has it.

 

I have been avoiding Bio for some time because of the look of the set, but guess I can come up with a concept that makes it work.
