JJDrakken's Build Post.

kelmein · July 26

Hi JJ! Been floating around looking for either a scrapper, brute or tanker build that is either MA/Dark or MA/Regen with the new changes to both! Looking for something that'd be able to handle +4/8x solo for the most part, but I will have friends joining me here and there,

I am leaning mostly towards scrapper as I've been reading about the Tanker nerfs and the fact that most people do not seem very happy with the Brute playstyle atm. I'm not a huge fan of the fury chase myself, but it's not a deal-breaker.

Any suggestions? Closest I've seen is a Dark/MA tanker build but does not take into account the new changes to Dark Armor. If this could somehow be adapted to Scrapper, I'd be happy!

Honestly, after re-reading. Folks need cut back on the Doom & Gloom. Those "nerfs" are not shit to begin with. A Tanker's job is to tank and live. Scrapper/Stalker/Brute's job is to hurt. Fast, to Faster, to Eventually WTF(Brute). Tanks have been out performing other melee's overall while having massive survival skills. Sure other Scrappers (randomly) or Stalkers (Specifically) can out burst them with those buffs. The Tanker buffs kept them going with consistency.

While Brutes were playing catch up to a point. Sure they overall will deal higher constant damage, but a lot times need an outside buffing force for that.

Folks need to calm their tits over this.

Hmmm, didn’t even think about doing a MA/Dark Stalker instead of a scrapper! Would this be able to handle +4/x8 solo as well? I actually never played a stalker so that’s in interesting idea!

As always, thank you so much for the help!

Would it be possible to look at a Scrapper version of the MA/Dark? I really like Dragon's Tail as a skill aesthetically and in use for AoE. I'm assuming it's very similar but trading out the ATO's for the scrapper ones?

Not taking any more requests till I get calories in me, that won't be till Monday. I don't have brain energy & patience for it right now. It's nothing personal to anyone specifically.

Hey JJ,

I'm looking for some options for a carry build to play with my 2 kids who have no idea what they are doing. They are both blasters but combined I'd consider them .5 of a player 😆

We just do leveling together through contact missions, nothing fancy. Which probably is different from other builds requested, trying to get the best combo to level carry. Although perhaps I just get myself leveled up to the mid 30s and then side kick them up there?

I'm hoping there are more options than just a tank or brute, but if not that's ok.

Thanks!

Thank you for the scrapper version! I did notice that at least in-game, I cannot slot Obscure Sustenance with Theft of Essence. Any suggestions on this? Was thinking either Numina's or Panacea instead

Don't get the dopamine hit of traffic to his thread then though 🙃

Hello,

I am having a problem coming up with a build for my Peacebringer. I like to play in Bright Nova form the most but i dont like the KB effect on some of its powers. So i add the KB to KD enh.. Can you help me make a build that focus on Squid form with secondary being Lobster form. money will not be a problem so make it expensive as it needs to be. Thank you in advance for any help you provide.

I could, but currently something is broken with our forums. I cannot upload( No one can ). Mid's builds. But if you go up to upper right corner and search on this thread. Type in Peacebringer or Squid or Lobster in search. Should pull up builds of that nature on my post.

Might I request just one more assassin from you? A Dark Melee / Dark Armor stalker? (Thanks for all the stalker builds btw, I am going to try out a few of the others for sure.)

I have been looking; I'm brand new to the game and I'm looking for a solo build, and information that I've seen so far has lead me towards MA brute maybe tanker? My understanding is that I would want an AoE 2ndary to fill it out. I'd like to be able to solo everything in the game, but also looking for rather simple to play. I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you (I'm not hard stuck on the MA part of it).

Thank you!

Upper right corner is a search bar. Type in: Martial Arts Tanker (As I just typed it). You can look through what you want.

Thanks; I had been searching, and I hadn't really found anything. I pulled up the Dark/MA Tank, looks like it's going to be missing AoE until level 20+ or maybe some enchantments?

Martial Arts has 1 AoE, it's a PBAOE. The Dragon Tail sweep, Dark Armor has PBAOE DoT Aura and if you put that one recipe set in Cloak of Fear, then it has chance to proc dmg also in a PBAOE asepect.

If you want AoE Melee based Tank. Electric Melee(has 3, Small Cone, AoE off Target and Placement AoE), Energy Melee(has 2, PBAOE & Cone)). Radiation Armor has PBAOE in it. Dark Melee has 4. 2 PBAOEs & a Smaller Cone. and an AoE off target. Radiation Melee has Small Cone and AOE off Target. Dual Blades has PBAOE(finisher) and 2 Cones.

These are examples. You REALLY should look over these powers in Mids and research.
