TungstenShark Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I have never played Electric Armor and wanted to give it a whirl. Since it is a resist set I chose a Brute to try it on and decided to pair it with Energy Melee because why not? Now I need some help to tweak, edit and fine-tune the build. Questions/issues: Currently I am short of the softcap for S/L defense. I would have loved to be able to softcap Melee and Ranged defense, but did not find the puzzle pieces to address Ranged (though happy to hear ideas!) so the fall-back was to try and softcap S/L. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated! Finding any further resists (while hitting the def numbers) would be a bonus. The resists are pretty good overall, but room to improve. Slots got tight towards the end and I ended up not slotting Power Sink past the auto-slot. I am not sure if this is a mistake, so any experienced feedback is most welcome! If it is only single-slotted, another argument is drop it completely I guess and maybe add a LotG mule instead (Evasive Maneuvers). All feedback is welcome!

Infinitum Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Take a look at this build. It is rad/elec, but you should be able to duplicate the rad set bonuses to energy. Shadowstryke - Brute (Radiation Melee - Electric Armor).mxd One note - I am not near a computer so i cant see my build or your build right now, but if i remember correctly mine soft caps melee defense and hits the s/l res cap. Getting ranged also i believe would be too great of a sacrifice, but honestly that build served me well for a long time. It was my first decked out build on homecoming - could survive both extreme fire farms and s/l farms with ease as well. The only time i had to be careful was against toxic and sometimes negative. I kept melee core on hand for those situations - but usually ran assault radial for most content. And remember i cant see the numbers at the moment - if your build is better disregard my build. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TungstenShark Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks @Infinitum! You are correct - the build you attached caps Melee defense and S/L resist. I will see what I can extrapolate from your build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
