NRG/Shield Build

[OldLost]

Looking through the forum for an NRG/Shield build, but seems to be non-existent. I don't usually play scrappers, but thought this combo would be fun to try.

 

So, here's my first attempt at a build. Advice requested. TIA.

[Meknomancer]

Just noticed you skipped true grit yikes.

[OldLost]

Thanks Meknomancer, I'll take a look. Appreciate the advice.

[Apricitas]

OldLost, the first power in Shield is better slotted as a defense power, not a resistance power. Looking at the build, you have an excellent 50% chance to defend against Area-o-Effect, but melee and ranged positional defense is much lower, at 32.5% or so. That's still covered by a small purple inspiration to hit the vaunted 45% soft cap for defense, but you'll find need less purple inspirations if you slot Deflection the same way you slot Battle Agility. 

 

You also chose both hover and combat jumping. Are we able to run both of those at the same time? If I was doing this, I'd drop one of those to pick up True Grit, and stick those enhancements currently in Tough into True Grit. 

 

And I'm a very new poster, just getting reacclimated to City of Heroes. Take others' advice before mine.
