Bio/Staff Tank

damnimgood · November 4, 2021

Does anyone have a good Bio/Staff Tank Build that does damage? (I know, I know..Brute... But this is where I'm at lol.)

Bill Z Bubba · November 4, 2021

I don't as mine is a scrapper (and I'm not sure I even built her in Mids yet) but I will state that this combo's AoE with both forms on the +damage side and the tank AoE buffs is gonna be nice.

Echoing Bill, I played with a Bio/Staff Tanker last week and watching her take down groups was incredible.

damnimgood · November 4, 2021

Anyone have a build,please?

lemming · November 4, 2021

I haven't built out either my bio/staff tank or brute with sets yet. Just have generic IOs, but they are a hoot.

Wobegone · November 5, 2021

This is probably a hot mess. I've seen and done several iterations of both Bio and Staff, and they vary quite a bit. Sometimes I want to proc out DNA Siphon, sometimes use it as another emergency button(as I did here). Hope this at least gives you an idea.

DNA Siphon is way too good a power to one-slot (as is Parasitic Aura, but that's an order of magnitude less important in my eyes).

I thought I had a Mids build lying around, but that must have been on an old computer. I'll put something together tonight.

Xandyr · November 10, 2021

Did you get the build I sent @damnimgood?

Yomo Kimyata · November 10, 2021

I'd probably start with something like this. Feel free to swap out sets for something less pricy:
