Just a few questions:

1.   Anything else that can be done to bump up defense and resistances even more?   Looks like it has the positional defenses fairly high already.

2.   Anything unnecessary that can be dropped in favor of flight?   I can buy a rocket pack from the p2w vendor, but it would be nice to have fly in the build somehow.

3.   Just put a recharge in Active Defense vs the Hami-O ?

4.   Maybe another LOTG global recharge in the Phalanx Fighting?

Thanks for the help.

 

 

 

[Hyperstrike]

1. Better Defenses and Resists, as the cost of higher static End consumption and fairly significant damage.
2. Just go with the rocket pack.
3. Just use the Recharge in AD.
4. I know that Mace is slow.  And I've provided you with a SLOWER option.  But you were asking for greater durability.  Tradeoffs.

[krj12]

thanks

Hey there, please excuse the state of my build below as I am away for the weekend and I pulled this from memory and modified the build on my phone... I have been playing WM/SD for a week and this is what I have been using. I can't see the stats of the other builds so this may be inadequate. There is a chance I have an extra enh slot or misplaced power somewhere here but I think this is fairly accurate. (Grant cover is in the wrong spot, didn't want to edit on phone)

 

Without maneuvers active, this build is about 46 Range/50+ Melee/46 AoE. Please note the use of Agility Alpha for extra Defense.

 

60%ish Res S/L/F/C, I don't think the E/N is too good and Psi/Tox is around 30-32%. Idk if it's more common to push for higher S/L, but I've been having a good time so far!

 

Global recharge is 150%+ with Hasten up, though needing hasten is debatable.

 

I quite enjoy the Power Transfer/Panacea procs for the extra HP since there is no self heal. Not sure how they compare to added Regen bonuses from sets. Still learning :)

 

No travel power, just ninja run for style points :) and Grant cover is totally swappable!
