Energy Melee/Shield Brute Critique

TooTall · June 2, 2021

Hello all,

Rightfully so, I haven't seen many of these builds in the forums. I decided to have a go at IO sets for it. I am good with the resistance, but struggled to find a way to cap out the positional defense at ~47%. I also seemed to hit a wall on global recharge; knowing that I can get some from incarnates. Even with that, hasten doesn't quite get to perma per Mids. I do not use Power Crash, but I picked it up for the IO sets.

Tried this build on Brainstorm and seemed to hold its own. I am currently level 41 on Live.

Let me know if there are any suggestions!

Brought this up on Discord and was given this build by @Arklide. Figured I would share for anyone browsing the forums.

I am now playing with Alpha incarnates to slot and thinking about Agility over Musculature.

i suppose im surprised you were ultimately influenced to dump power crash. im not the biggest fan of cone attacks in this game but power crash is definitely solid as far as range and radius. i do wish the damage were a bit higher than whirling hands though... or maybe even just the total focus version was buffed by some percentage.

i think a very obvious big question mark there is tactics. you could very easily slot kismet somewhere in your build for 6% to hit... instead of 8% hit with a constant endurance drain. i guess if you are getting it for perception/confuse/fear stuff though that is a different choice... or just to have the team buff?? i see you are also spending slots on grant cover that has very little tangible benefit to you individually.

something else a lot of people overlook is the travel power IO set zephyr. provides a little bump to ranged & aoe defense as a 3 slot. im guessing you 6 slotted red fortune in weave specifically for the 2% ranged defense.. i would imagine zephyr is a better choice for example.

last bit -- regenerative tissue unique IO is honestly pretty worthless. i suppose your worry is that you dont have a heal at all... i would just say that 25% regen probably isnt going to solve or even remotely close the gap on that issue. the preventative medicine unique IO is 100% better (and missing from your build otherwise)

I wasn't a big fan of the animation, but the cone isn't too bad as you stated. I picked it back up in a new tweaked build below, to gain a bit more resistance, recharge, and defense.

I didn't know you could gain that from the kismet, but honestly I was accepting what was given to me. After playing around with the build a bit more on test, I ended up deciding to swapping it out.

I managed to find two slots, was tough to find a third. Thanks for the information and catch.

I swapped it out for Panacea. Not to worried about the heals, it was just an IO that I had typically put on my toons. Seems as though Panacea's proc does a bit better for me in the endurance side of things. Again, thanks for the information!

Here is my latest build, managed to get resistance up to 84%, which I can noticeably feel when playing on the test. Endurance management is better as well. I did remove some of the "chance for *insert* damage" enhancements to get to this point. Swapped out force feedback as well from shield charge. I may revisit that since it's really good AOE damage.

looks like you forgot about gladiator 3% defense IO (resist set).

regarding force feedback recharge IO... i dont know how good it is on shield charge because of the (relatively) longer cooldown. i would say i have INCREDIBLE gains on it with my titan weapons scrapper because i can spam whirling smash every 2-3 seconds and it will have near 100% uptime in a pack of 4+ enemies. big thing to keep in mind there is that it only needs to proc on a single enemy to buff you. while it wouldnt see as much value as i just described in your build, it might still be valuable enough... i dont have the right answer for you there.

I sure did! 😑 I swapped out the Unbreakable Guard with the Gladiator. I also Frankenslotted Weave with (2) Red Fortune, (2) Reactive, and (1) LoTG Recharge and Shield Charge with (2) Obliteration and kept (3) of the Scirocco. That gained me a tad bit more resistance.

Think that's all I can get out of this build the way I have it set up. Add some incarnates and accolades, I should be good to go.
