City of Heros TW/BIO Titan Weapon / Bio Armor Build List


Kodo

Recommended Posts

Ok so, I'm making this post to give back to the community "Paying for Forward". This community has been extremely good to me and I'm just trying to pass on the love. It's 2022 and if you're wondering if TW/BIO is still strong af then the answer is 100% yes (don't worry about the 2020 nerf, this class still rocks).


I'm going to add different Builds in the comments, each build is slightly different and I do not take credit for any of them. There's a high probability that I will mess up on giving credit to the rightful original build owner (sorry), but the goal is to share the knowledge regardless.

 

Furthermore if you have a build that works well for you, please post it in the comments, and if you don't mind, please use the format that I'm using to post the builds so people can see the results without loading it up in Mids.

 

If you are a noob like me and you don't know how to use Mids, then start here to download Mids: 

(If you're intimated by mids like I was, don't worry, it's actually really fun and totally worth the time-dive).

 

 

Here is a comparison of each build's Defenses and Offensives:

Makobola's Build:

 

Quoteing Makobola:

 

"I only do Arc - Whirling - Follow Through - Rend - Whirling - repeat for AoE; with bosses being targetted, 

 

Arc - Follow - Crush - Rend - Follow for single target. Moonbeam comes in between the momentum

 

I made this with more endurance recovery, but they can all be siphoned off to get more recharge in Ablative and Parasitic."

Kodo's Build (my variation):

Ok, I can elaborate on this one. I butchered a bunch of different logic from other builds online, mainly from Kaeladin & Makobola, and pieced them together to fit my playstyle the most.

Here's what I wanted before going into it:
- All of my TW attacks. I know it's not optimal for rotations but for me, I chose to keep all of the TW attacks because they are fun and cool to see.

- Combat Teleport. I had to choose between Teleport and Combat Teleport, in the end, I chose Combat Teleport. Again for fun, I love it and the +21% ToHit is nice too (yes it stacks) x3 times. I bounce all around mid fights and it makes me feel cool like Nightcrawler. 
- No Haste. End game, you have a lot of buttons... Build Momentum, Incarnate Powers, Etc. etc. etc. I really didn't want another pre-attack power, plus I don't really need haste. I'm not missing it at all to be honest. I don't even realize it's gone.

 - I 100% Did not want a build that would result in baby-sitting/watching my Endurance bar. I wasn't sure if this build would need baby sitting or not and it does not. I literally never even look at my endurance bar. (Conserve Power is useless/unnecessary in this build).

Worth noting, my build is not The Optimal TW/BIO Scrapper Build. I took powers that I didn't not need and I did not choose haste. If you're min/maxing, don't consider this build.

Thank you! I was just looking for something like this. Unfortunately all the builds have the powers placed in a way that's not possible in-game. Those are the powers listed in red italics. It's a pretty easy fix by rearranging the powers. I wanted to make note of that. However, I really appreciate the effort you've gone through in compiling these.

Trying to get S/L Def softcap passively with TW/BIO seems against what the combo is really about, but what do I know? I've only been playing the combo since 2011 (yes, I'm aware of what that means)/

 

What do you mean? I'm new to the build so I don't quite understand. I assumed most/all melee builds would want soft capped S/L def

You do, actually. But going past certain %s with certain sets can be pretty counter productive for the ATs role. Bio Armor is definitely one of those sets. You want "enough" mitigation for your playstyle. Being able to kill things is also a form of mitigation and CC. If it's dead it can't hit you. Getting something to 0HP is the best mitigation/CC in the game.

 

And when you are teaming, do not be surprised to be buffed with all the various +DEF buffs going around.

Is there a way in Mids to understand the damage output trade-off? Like, if I build for capped S/L def and res, how much potential damage am I losing? 

 

In `View Totals`, I see `Damage` but unsure if that's what I want. I understand that builds can benefit from multiple procs in various offensive abilities but I don't really know if there is a straight-forward way to model that and compare to a more defensive-oriented build

None that I know of unfortunately, the best way I can think of in my head at the moment to capture that comparison is to record rotations. In mids, you can look at Damage Per Activation as the damage metric and then like the post says Arc - Follow - Crush - Rend - Follow for single target. Moonbeam comes in between the momentum we can look at this as an example of what a rotation would be.

Not wanting to get too bogged down in specifics of damage numbers since that's the variable I'll just use scrapper base numbers according to MIDS. Let's say:
Rend = 142.6 dmg / 1.3s cast time = 109.7 dpa
Arc = 93.35 dmg / 1.37s cast time = 69.6 dpa

Follow = 122.6 dmg / 1.1s cast time = 111.5 dpa
Moonbeam = 111 dmg / 1.33s cast time = 83.49 dpa
Crush =  82.58 dmg / 1.2s cast time = 68.82 dpa
(note: DPA = Damage Per Animation Time. This metric gets used a lot and you can get this number by  dividing the total damage versus the animation time)

 Arc - Follow - Crush - Rend - Follow | (leave momentum} - Moonbeam
93.35 + 122.6 + 82.58 + 142.6 + 122.6 = (563.73)              + 111 = 674.73    
1.37s     +1.1s   +1.2s    +1.3s     +1.1s  = (6.07s)                +1.33s =  7.4
                                        563.73 / 6.07 = 93.2  dps    674.73 / 7.4 = 91.179 dps


You can just reconfigure powers you desire to use in rotations like this and add up the time it takes to do it all before it's inevitably repeated and then divide that against the total dmg. The fun part is figuring out if the chains are even possible, so you need to make sure the recharge of powers being used is actually recharged otherwise what you're trying to calculate is impossible. The only two sticklers that gets really into the weeds is considering the Critical Strikes ATO and looking to avg out the change of that occurring and the averaging out the damage gain and loss when subsequent powers crit or don't crit. The other stickler is considering arcana time, which seems to be an nomenclature whicch references server tick time which is assumed to be an amount but am unsure if that old number still correlates to the actual server tick time of Homecoming servers. YMMV

Listen to this person. They changed the way I do TW in it's current state entirely.

It was a collaborative effort in my mind that I'm happy to have been able to participate in, most of what I did really was just building off the foundation of what you and a few others had done previously

Thanks for the information! 

 

I have a hard time understanding MIDs so maybe I just need to spend a bit more time there.

 

How are folks calculating procs? I see quite a few builds out there where some DPS abilities are slotted purely for "Chance for [X] damage" instead of using a set. 

 

I slotted Rend with two different options and I think MIDs is telling me that the Superior Blistering Cold slotting will yield a higher DPS, but am I reading this correctly?

 

Also, @Ratch_, do you mind sharing build(s) you have that fit certain use cases? I'd love to understand more about your line of thinking

MIDS and this game in general is a giant monster to learn and understand. MIDS has gotten a lot better at providing the correct % but is still sometimes incorrect. This is the go to post that really cleared a lot of understanding up for me in regards to procs: 

 

The first link in that post "CoH Tools and Formulas" will link you to a google doc spreadsheet you can make a copy of. In it you can put in the power information (like ppm of proc, activation time, recharge time, area of effect, etc.) and it will put out a number to give you what % chance that proc will have per the power it is slotted in. It is super useful, and if you have the time or desire, I do recommend or at the very least gleaning over that long Procs Per Minute (PPM) Information guide.

It's hard to get the clear dps difference from the pictures you provided but from what I'm seeing it looks like Rend is slotted with all procs and no damage enhance vs Rend being slotted with 5pc Blistering Cold...and there is also a difference of Critical Hit Chance. The one with all procs is showing 66% chance vs the one with 5pc Blistering Cold is being a guaranteed Crit. In mids, if you go to the critical hit Inherit and set it to 1, then that would mean you are forcing a crit and showing the damage for that, which is what I believe is happening in that screenshot.

They way I built my TW/BIO is a bit of a lean into the offensive side as I have tankers or brutes to play if I am really wanting to have that true survivability. My thinking for the build is to be able to live long enough to do my damage and eliminate threats. I've been running this build for over a year now and haven't felt any desire to change it but there are plenty of awesome secondaries to go for like ENA to pair TW with if the clicky button nature of bio doesn't suit ones playstyle. Quite a long time ago from now after TW got it's nerf, I was looking into how to get a lot of use out of it's changes and recognized with the new recharge breakpoints and being able to leverage epic powers without incurring a redraw animation penalty I discovered you can do a ~19-20s power rotation. With high enough recharge and weaving in Moonbeam (or some other snipe) after momentum finished you can basically get into a pattern of Build Momentum 10s dps window + Moonbeam on momentum exit. Re-enter momentum using attack for 5s momentum window + Moonbeam on momentum exit. Build Momentum is recharged again so you just restart from the beginning. You can put Critical Strikes proc in Arc or Rend Armor, but I found that I dislike that in there because those powers have variable recharge. I prefer the consistency of it in Follow Through.

The actual rotation I use for ST is this one, it's not set in stone and sort of alternating based off of a condition. You'll notice that I sometimes opt for Rend Armor instead of Crushing Blow to activate momentum, and the reason for that is If I get the critical strikes proc to go off, then I will use Rend Armor, else I will use Crushing Blow. I've just found that I get more consistent times with this and also anecdotally (maybe take it with a grain of salt) I notice that the damage from crit Rend Armor does vs crit Crushing Blow hits more HP thresholds providing kills and saving me from further animation time on that enemy.  I attached the build I used on this post and this is me killing mobs in the mission called Trapdoor.
