Do we have a build compendium?

[JayboH]

Is there a place where good builds have been saved to a central location?

There are builds here.

Not that I'm aware of but that's also incredibly vague. I think my builds are awesome but those that love proc-monster builds think they're all crap.

My SG has a guy who made an app that acts as a depository for builds. Folks in the SG ask for a specific build, give travel power preferences, and other details - and our build specialists make them. 

I try to make my own builds. I might look at other builds for inspiration, and occasionally use one I have found, maybe take a proc out or two in pursuit of a set bonus, or because bopper's sheet suggests the proc would only fire a small percentage of time. 

Then, as I look at other builds more and more, I can see that while the maker of that build may have been proud of it for whatever reason, I found it to be less than ideal. Often, the builds would require recovery serum and ageless to be viable. Other times, a build would be great - at level 50, but at level 40, it would be trash. A number of folks when making a build in mids add in the travel powers at 49 instead of level 4, when I usually get it. 

So, I'm certain there's a number of places that could act as a database for "proven" builds, but a build that might work great for player A may not be worth a thing to player B, and vice-versa. So, how would one determine which builds are viable, and which are not? Who's to say? 

It's all too subjective and dependent upon playstyle and other preferences.

Procs may get a rebalance, so I would ignore them

That's been a major part of my build philosophy for a while now. The amount of damage that proc-monster builds add to any given build is even more ludicrous than the recent tank buffs.

could we please have a forensic sketch artist rendering?  I assume the proc monster spawns GM, what zone?  Crazy it spawns builds designed just for it.
