JJDrakken's Build Post.

Hey JJ! I've liked your builds for quite a while and there's one combination I've been really wanting to test out. Can you do a Symphony Control / Marine Affinity Controller for a more 'Siren' feel? Preferably procced out to the gills, but I don't mind at all what travel powers / incarnates / etc. it has on top of it, I just want something to get a feel for it!

Hey JJ or anyone for that matter, IS the Invulnerability - Super Strength tanker build on page 62 from 2024 still good to use today?

Most likely. Not really much has changed there. 

 

 

Would this transfer fine over to an SS/INV Brute other than ATOs ofc? Been going thru the finicky search tool and all I'm finding is the Tanker Variant.

Yes, though you'll have lower values for Armors, but yes.

Looks great! Working on it now, but is already a lot of agressive fun!

 

Thank you!

While I'm excited to see "new" faces here. I'm starting to see a pattern(I've noticed for awhile). It feels like same person(s) Making or using older accounts they made to ask for basically same shit over & over again.

 

Then I have a mentally unstable person who shows up to grief farm me (or they think they are) on these builds. Cuz apparently they keep having a mental health crisis. 

 

Either way, in the future. Unless you can take effort to make actual icon/pictures for yourself and have posted a bit more elsewhere.  (I do watch posting histories and what not). I'll just see it as someone attempting to troll more on multiple accounts.  

 

Show you are more involved in our community and make effort for a Profile art, to me it shows you want to be involved in the community. 

First - thank you for the build. It was appreciated.

 

I honestly do appreciate the time you've put in, and I'm genuinely sorry that someone - not me, I'd point out - has been trolling you.

 

I don't have a huge amount of 'history' built up, as I'm more of a reader than a poster, plus I'm just coming back after 4 years in FFIV.

I'm just coming back after a long hiatus and I came here looking to update a few builds. this Kat/SR scrapper build is from 2022 and its the only one I could find. is it still viable in 2025? the power selections work really well with my concept, and I would love for it to work.

Most likely. Like a lot of powers, SR & Katana have pretty much stayed same since live. (Some small changes, but nothing that really effects much when it comes to recipes)

I just discovered this thread and I've spent quite a while going through it and gotten a lot of good ideas on my other characters.  However, I do have one build that I'm having trouble finding anything for.  I posted in the Mastermind area but haven't gotten any feedback yet and couldn't find anything with the combo.  I'm working on a themed build with a fairy tale character/Disney princess type and I want a Beast Mastery/Nature Affinity build.  I also thought Sorcery would be a good pool for travel to fit the magic origin but going for group fly might be better with pets?  I'm guessing Leadership is must have because of the pets as well? So either Flight or Sorcery, plus Leadership, what other pools would work best keeping slotting in mind?  Finally, The Epic Pool is kind of an area I'm not sure about (I don't have any characters that high yet with my highest at 20). I've started using Mids and playing with things but would love some advice if you have time.  Thanks!

Thanks so much for the Beasts/Nature MM build.  Looking it over and comparing it to mine, I see where I was going in the wrong direction on a lot of things.  Thankfully I have a respec to use. 🙂

@JJDrakkenHey man I'm still enjoying the builds. Would you mind doing a Blapper (Water Blast - Temporal Manipulation)?
