Clave Dark 5 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Do you need to have a Hami-only toon? I mean, seems like most toons good at this could be good for most things.

Greycat Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 8 hours ago, Aganger1458 said: not tank. take on the smaller gobs of goo The mitos or the buds? Assuming mitos. Honestly the only "special" thing a character needs is flight, and you don't even have to respec for that - grab a jetpack. If you're looking for someone who can switch-hit between the melee, range and control teams, I'd suggest a blaster or dominator. For instance, my elec/elec/fire blaster has range (duh,) melee in the secondary (enough attacks to keep going,) and between tesla cage and the fire APP, two holds to cycle through. Only thing she's not doing is taunting. 1 Kheldian Lore and Backstory Guide 2.0: HC edition Out to EAT : A look at Epic ATs - what is, could have been, and never was Want 20 merits?

SeraphimKensai Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Elec/Plants Blaster. Build for high HP. You get 2 single target holds to help with greens. You get 2 melee attacks for yellows, and multiple ranged blasts for blues. You also get a toggle Debuff you can apply on Hami that reduces damage/tohit/regen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Monkey Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I think a toon with the power to efficiently enter a quickly filling zone is the most important thing. And you might as well take flight.

JasperStone Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I do not have a Hami specific build for my Tri-Form Peace Bringer and hami on it regularly. With it I can either be on melee or range teams.

All of Mind's attacks are psionic type only and don't have positional flags so they're useful against both blue and yellow mitos and you bring along mez to help with the green mitos.

Ironblade Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I don't see a point for a 'hami only' character. Pretty much every character is useful at a raid. If you want to be extra useful, build a character that can fill two or more roles. For example, a recent raid was low on tanks so I switched to my WP/ice tank. I flew around taunting the yellow mitos off the melee team, then moved on to assist with the green mitos using my two single-target holds (one in Ice Melee and one in Arctic Mastery). 1 Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

Leaning towards a PB or WS but open to something else...?! If you are interested in tanking the big blob (which you have mentioned you aren't), aim for Lobster and not Lightform. The HP pool and periodic heal are the only things that really matter in that role. If you want to melee, do NOT use Lobster form (you can't fly on your own or use a jetpack). If you want to pew pew, any build should work fine. If you want some independence wrt not getting mezed, pick up Rune of Protection from the Sorcery pool. In general, Incarnates can really help. The Diamagnetic (regen debuff) or Degenerative (max HP debuff) are helpful. And of course your Lore pet. As for other AT types: I really like my Ice/Poison/Mu Corruptor for stacking single target holds and debuffs. I can roll out four single target holds and we chew through Mending mitos. I also enjoy my Pain/Water Defender. It can MT heal and provide a group augment via World of Pain And for higher tier debuffs (vs any mito or the big blob) is a Radiation/Beam Rifle Defender that specializes in -Regen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgking001a Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So, somehow on my tanks, brutes and scrappers, I created builds where I don't need to use EOEs, and I still remain alive when fighting Hami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
