I'm thinking a dual pistols/willpower Sentinel.

Thank you, sir.  Much appreciated.

Can u make me a Scrapper Build with Ice Melle and Energie Armor? Should be for Solo 4+/8 Content as good as possible. So a lot of Resistance would be nice in addition to the Defense from the Set. Damage important as well 🙂

For the Epic would Mu Mastery for Elektric Cages and Ball or Fire with Fireball nice. Whatever fit into it 🙂

1. Mu on a Scrapper doesn't have Electric Cages

2. You want high resists on a Typed Defense set ... not happening, less you plan to sacrifice the defense on a defense set.

3. Honestly these requests are just getting more absurd each post you make.

Hello, is this build good to go or does it need an update?  (just asking since the build was from last year)

 

thanks in advance!

Hey JJDrakken,

 

Thanks for clarifying about Electric Cages on Mu Mastery—I didn’t realize Scrappers couldn’t get it there, and I appreciate the heads-up.

 

As for high resists on a Defense set, I’m aware it can be tricky, but many players still build for both Defense and Resist to manage harder content. I’m just looking for a workable mix, which is pretty standard in City of Heroes. And by “high,” I just mean relatively high within the constraints of the possibilities.

 

I’m really not sure why you find my requests “absurd.” I’ve asked about three builds in the past (fairly straightforward ones, in my opinion) because I enjoy exploring different options and pushing into higher difficulties with my characters. If there’s something specific you think I’m overlooking, I’d appreciate constructive feedback instead of blanket statements.

 

Anyway, thanks again for the info—I hope we can keep things a bit more productive going forward.

I was going off your request history for absurdness, 😛  Doesn't mean I won't try to figure out ways to present a build.

 

1. The whole solo a +4/8 thing for example. In my opinion is just a waist, less you have a farm build for a farm that is built for that.

2. Your first request was that for a Dark/Dark Tanker with High resists and good defenses(Honestly defense is marginal even for a dark, they are  resist set).

3. Then a Psy/Psy Blaster with same stipulations

4. Then Ill/Time Controller with same stipulations

5. Then E/Kin Corrupter.

 

It's not combo's or even specific requests that absurd. It's expectations of having High end D and R and be able to solo +4/x8.  While I'm pretty sure all my builds can do that, I build for team play and +3/8.  Since +3/8 is best for Time vs Effort equation.  Especially when your PuG leading with all sorts of level, builds, & experience with the game.  I prefer Team Play and my builds are suited for Team Play.

 

In the future, I have no issue doing builds for you, but you gotta lower your expectations of constant +4/8 High D & R all time ... You gotta either frankenslot(which I hate and find it sloppy) and in turn your always going be sacrificing something.

Wasn't there a spreadsheet tracking the builds?

 

Anyway, any chance there's a SS/WP brute around? High RES and some DEF is the main goal.

I'm looking for a Widow build either Night or Fortunata. I was thinking a good solid support build or all arounder type build with folded space. I understand if I have to have two separate builds.
