Beam/Martial/Ice - So Fun!

[Celtic_Tiger_Champ]

So I’ve been loving my Beam Rifle/Martial Combat/Ice Blaster!

 

If you love to have a great options for ranged and melee damage and if you’re smart about taking advantage of set bonuses you will have a great balance of damage and survivability. 
 

I’m on my mobile at the moment so it’s not the greatest mode to post so I’ll be brief.

 

Essentially, I’ve built this two ways. One with a mindset on ranged damage and only a couple of melee selections, and one build with a balanced mindset...and the latter has made all the difference. 
 

As I thought about this build from the very start I was inspired by The Mandolorian, I was looking for power sets that might emulate that “archetype”. What is a mandolorian? Well, kind of a ‘jack of all trades’. So I was toying with various options and went from stalker to scrapper, and settled on Blaster. The different primaries I kept a going back and forth on were Assault Rifle and Beam Rifle. As I played around with character creator Beam Rifle just seemed perfect. Got a great looking weapon and the attacks seemed very “galactic”.

 

As for a secondary, there are many fitting options to choose from. One could make great arguments for Ninjitsu, Devices, Energy...but when I saw Martial Combat I was really intrigued. This could be the perfect balance...so far it’s been amazing!

 

Some highlights..

I’m mostly a PvE soloist, so my build is all about high damage and focus on survival.

Perma-Hasten

High DPS

Powerful melee attacks, with great escape/retreat functionality when necessary. (Playing plus 2/3 combat level regularly, no A/V).

Max Defense

 

I have an awesome travel bind that I’ve worked into an attack chain which is the primary mode of attack using Burst of Speed. So fun!

 

Just needed to get these thoughts out and share. I may share the Mids Build, have to think about that.

 

Ciao!

I went Beam/Martial/Mace, but yeah, Beam/Martial is a lot of fun.

 

But if you're posting in the Guide section, shouldn't you be share  your build and what makes it work?

Yeah, I will post. I have two builds, one is a really expensive build that’s not very realistic. The other more doable. I think my old “live brain” was feeling possessive, but that time is long gone.😃

Here is what makes this build great, quick snapshot of the numbers:

This is without Incarnates.

The recharge rate is a bit of overkill, but it helps to always have options and never waiting long for the heavy hitters.

 

I love the use of Burst of Speed as a quick entry to mobs, Tail of the Dragon, then pick off enemies. The damage overall is incredible even before incarnate, but with incarnate is kind of borderline ridiculous, but just a blast!
