Cenozoic Builds Stuff: Fire/Devices/Mace Blaster "Los Infiernos"


Cenozoic

Recommended Posts

Hello team!  Wanted to share some of my builds in case folks are looking for similar ideas.  This one is for a Fire/Dev that is my favorite toon, Los Infiernos (Excelsior server).

 

TOON BASICS

  • Hover blaster
  • 45% SLENR with 30-35% FCMA
  • Mez protection & resistance
  • A feeling of "tankiness" and "sneakiness" when hopping in for Inferno
  • Outrageous Accuracy/ToHit
  • No Pets.  No bombs.  Where we're going, we don't need ... roads pets.

 

ATTACK CHAINS

  • Alpha:  Smoke Grenade > Aim > Inferno or Judgment > Fireball > Caltrops (optional) > ST Damage & Fireball
  • Beta:  Smoke Grenade >Caltrops (underneath me) > Fireball & ST
  • AVs:  Same stuff, but also use Toxic Web Grenade and Envenomed Dagger

 

SNEAKY BAHSTAHD

  • Mission Clicking:  Field Operative + Smoke Grenade = no one gonna see me click stuff right in front of them 😄
    • Except Rikti Drones and a few others ... much respect to them

 

MEZ PROTECTION & RESISTANCE

Generally, this guy can handle some adversity, even without Defiant Barrage +Status, Clarion, and Melee Core:

Alternate Clarion & Melee Core, bolster with BFs and Fireball as needed

  • Hold +2 (gotta hit me twice ... GL with that)
  • Stun/Sleep/Fear are key weaknesses, mostly Stun
  • Immob +8.3
  • KB Prot +17 (above the KB for Nemesis staff)
  • Confuse +3.63

 

DEBUFF RESISTANCE

  • Perception 96% - nobody can out-Smoke Grenade me 😄
  • ToHit Debuff 55% - Can hit Carnies even through a couple layers of Master Ill's Fluffy (Chill of the Night)
  • Recharge/Speed 45% - I am hard to slow down

 

FIRE BLAST

  • Fireball - Superior Defiant Barrage (6-slot for bonuses & "Status Protection" proc)
  • Aim - Inferno's best friend
  • Fire Blast / Blaze / Blazing Bolt - ST attack chain (sprinkle in Fireball and the party is nonstop) 
  • Inferno - why else does one "Fire Blast" ?

 

DEVICES

  • Toxic Web Grenade - because they make me take it and it has -Fly & Immob so hover blasting AVs got a whole lot easier
  • Caltrops - positional control.  Drop these underneath and hover above for maximum security
  • Targeting Drone - good lord, this is OP ... 80% Damage Buff for Alpha (Inferno)
  • Smoke Grenade - Stealthy, -Per, -THDB autohit power!?  Yes please.
  • Field Operative - imho, the most OP of the blaster survivability buffs.  15ft stealth even when clicking or attacking!!!  So helpful.

 

MACE MASTERY

  • Scorpion Shield - Could also use Cold Mastery (Snow Storm + Frozen Armor is pretty great)

 

POWER POOLS

  • Fighting - You know the drill.  Boxing/Tough/Weave
    • I slotted Aegis Mez & Impervious Skin Mez protections ... really helps for -Stun/Disorient mitigation
  • Flight - Hover/Fly/Evasive Maneuvers  
    • EM is very helpful for its -KB% and flight protection (stacks with Hover)
  • Leaping - CJ / SJ / Acrobatics
    • Acrobatics for the +2 Mag Hold protection.  The KB stuff helps too, but the big deal is I don't get held from the first hold attempt, and my hold resistance is pretty ludicrous, so it gets hard to enemies to actually lock me down.
  • Leadership - Maneuvers / Tactics / Vengeance
    • Cen, bro ... why do you have Tactics + Targeting Drone + Kismet ??
      • Tactics = Confuse Protections
      • ~35% ToHit Buff + THDB Resistance = all these punches are gonna land !

 

INCARNATE STUFF

Note: These are the ones I use most of the time.  Notice that not everything involves damage...gotta survive to thrive

  • Alpha - Agility Core Paragon (Rech/Def/EndMod)
    • Since I slotted for defense IOs, I needed a little boost in recharge - this toons cranks out ~5.9 end/sec so I can leave most of the power pool toggles on to keep mez protection/resistance at bay
  • Judgment - Pyronic Core Final Judgment (alternate with Inferno for your partystarters)
  • Interface - Reactive Radial Flawless (75% fire DoT, 25% -Res)
    • There seems to be a pattern... something something fire...
  • Lore - Storm Elemental Core Superior Ally
    • Shadow Shard fan here, gotta stick with Lanaru's neurons
  • Destiny - Clarion Core Epiphany
    • MEZ PROTECTION
  • Hybrid - Melee Radial Embodiment (Melee Core Embodiment works just fine, too!)
    • MEZ PROTECTION
    • Regen can hit 1000% (or 72 HP/sec) which stacks very well with defenses

 

 

CENOZOIC, BRO, YOU SHOULD TAKE MY ADVICE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION

  • Before you tell me that I need more damage or procs or recharge, how about sending me an invite on Excelsior.  I promise this toon has enough horsepower.  @Cenozoic
