If anyone has any suggestions or general feedback on how to improve on the build I'd be grateful, I've not included the incarnate powers as of yet because I'd like to see how the lvl 50 build looks before deciding.

 

I think it'll make it easier deciding what to take once the build is finished.

Thats not bad, not bad at all.

 

Some things leap to mind-

1.)  Id not ignore Barb Swipe.  While I only use Lunge for a placeholder (I notice you skipped it entirely, thats okay, too), Barb Swipe has -great- Damage Per Animation.  I use it and love it as part of my boss-rotation.

 

2.)  Im going to disagree with conventional wisdom on the utility of the 'accurate heal' sets in your AOE Leeches.  If Im firing those off, Ive got a large enough crowd going that I dont find I need the + to/hit to get all the healing/endurance/regen I could ask for.

 

3.)  I question the utility of the Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection.  Bio needs some things in life, but I find it rarely needs more Endurance.  Even if flip over to offensive stance and unslot my Agility Alpha, it just means I have to kinda-sorta pay attention to how Im timing my +REC/+END Buttons (IE not forgetting them).  I use those slots to pick up Gloom.

 

4.)  I cant say enough good about Gloom.  Gloom has amazing Damage Per Activation for single target work - the worst part of spines being single target.  Sure, its a DOT, but your probably hitting a hard target if your worried about DPA on a single target.  Take along with Impale if you want a pair of long range attacks - or replace lunge with it.

 

Im attaching my build below.  With Agility Alpha and in Defensive Adapatation, your going to softcap all typed defenses but Psionic, or come so near as to not much care.  Your also going to have softcapped Smashing/Lethal or so near as to not matter even over in efficient stance (and in offensive stance, your DEF being in the mid-40s is enough to keep you up just fine as well)

 

Shes got a tiny bit less Regen and Recovery standing than yours, but I dont find I need it and those bonuses get swamped by the massive buffs you get from (particularly) parasitic aura.  Neither of us perma our hasten, but for me, trying to do so cost too much in other places, and I dont much notice a 10 second 'hitch' (the hitch does get worse when I switch from agility to musculature)

 

Ive designed it to be as tough as possible without waste in Agility Alpha/Defensive Stance, as offensive as possible without unnecessary vulnerability in Musculature Alpha/Offensive Stance, and to play pretty much as smoothly as I could ask in Agility Alpha/Efficient Stance.  Weve got stances, lets use them!

 

Full Disclosure - My live build is only about 75% slotted, and its the expensive IOs left to go.  And it still feels like cheating.  I imagine yours does as well.  We're really just discussing how we would like the lillies gilded, at this point.

How do you get Mids' to recognize spines?  It says on the website that it goes up to issue 23 and spines is an issue 25 thing for brutes...

 

Unless I am totally missing something...

I love ALL Archetypes, but prefer to play them Blue-Side.
