Beast / Storm Mastermind build for critique


Hobbes

Recommended Posts

Hi there, my CoH is quite rusty.  Just looking to see if I missed anything obvious, or if there are any tweaks to be made.  This is a respec at 50 "stretch" build to aim for.  Some of the more exotic sets will likely have place holders for a while.  The character name is Au-Natural, so Force of Nature is a bit of a theme pick, but I'm not particularly attached to the Epic picks so feel free to recommend power swaps.

Looking forward to any feedback, thanks!

The knockbacks will be pretty brutal for your melee pets. Especially Tornado, Hurricane and Gale. Pets will end up spending more time chasing than attacking. Sudden Acceleration KB to KD IO will help save that headache. Also the Overwhelming KD unique IO.


The build will have endurance issues especially with Hurricane active. Currently your build has a 0.36/s gain and 0.82/s gain without Hurricane. A 2.25/s end gain (end rec - end use) seems to work pretty good for my Mercs/Storm build.


Build is way over the S/L resist cap of 75%. The Shield Wall unique is really good adding +5% resist to all damage types.


I consider Gale to be the best power for a Storm MM. A power that can KD mobs of enemies and recharges fast enough to keep them down. Consider slotting it up. Accuracy, endurance, range, Sudden Acceleration KD, Force Feedback and Annihilation procs. Put it on auto and KD nonstop.

Thank you!  Made some changes.  6 Slot Gale with Overwhelming Force for the KD protection.  Dropped the fighting pool for Force of Will, juggled sets and slots a bit.  Net End is now 2.07 gain / sec, and two panic buttons, Unleash Potential and Force of Nature.  S/L only 71.58% but much better Endurance management.

I may swap out one Enhancement on Tornado and Lighting Storm for KB to KD, I'll give it a try each way eventually and see how much difference it makes. 

 

Thanks again! 

 

Any other thoughts are welcome.
