Toughest Hurricaner

[Hammertime 0]

So weird concept, I want the toughest hurricaner I can make.  A toon that just runs around with hurricane running and laughing at the chaos.

 

So is defender the best option simply to get the better numbers in hurricane and steam mist?  Then pair it with a blast set with a heal like dark blast or water?

 

Would a MM with storm and bodyguard mode be the tougher even with lower numbers?

I would say energy blast or water. Energy complements with more kb, water with kd and lots of othe rbits.

This will have the FF proc at all times pretty much and it has softccapped def and great resists.

Storm/Water Defender is really good, and one day I might even toggle Hurricane on. It's slotted but might as well be a mule. The real joy of the build is dropping Freezing Rain, Whirlpool, and Tornado in succession on a mob with Lightning Storm as the icing on the cake. 

[monkeygodbob 0]

So I made this build, not sure how fantastic it is, but everything should be REALLY slow (and falling over, hopefully).  ITs fairly tanky with 45+ m/r/aoe 37.6 psi defenses, and 75 S/L 65 Energy 55 fire and cold resists.

[oedipus_tex 970]

I'd go with Gravity Control/Storm so that you can hurl stuff into a corner and hurricane them from there. 

 

FYI you will absolutely need mezz protection to make this concept work. The Controller power Indomitable Will in the Psi pool is the best full time option for a squishy, other than the Destiny Clarion power.

Here are two very old, heavily armored, non-proc builds.  (more modern proc builds will have more offense, but also likely less armor.  Not that you need /that/ much armor.)

The one was intended to be run with Amps, and possible dampeners and base buffs as well.   The other is stand-alone.

Thanks for the responses all😊I made up a Storm/Water defender and a Thug/Storm MM and am playing them up now. I do love controllers and one of my all time favorites was fire/storm but the much lower numbers and lack of a way to add a heal turned me off.  Remember this specific concept toon will revolve around the use of hurricane everything else is secondary, and while repositioning with wormhole is incredibly powerful its not quite the way I envision the character playing out.  But I am simple so my vision maybe too🤣!

 

The initial impression is defender is the way to go just a light brush from Hurricane and its a noticeable improvement over the MM or controller versions.  Thanks for the builds all.
