I just finished a all human build and got him to 50 and am torn between the alpha slotting.  I am pretty new and was hoping to get some suggestions ppl who are more familiar with the all human playstyle.  ill though my build in post and I know it could use a lot of tweeking but it plays well on teams (Kind of between a brute and scrapper) so far and once i get use to the light form crash  that will help.  I was thinking agility, muscular, or cardiac.  i do have some end issued if there is no support on team but i was thinking of getting Ageless for destiny if that would be enough.

The way you're built, the 4 slots in Light Form are a waste.
2 slots, generic Recharge IOs.
If you want to regain most of the Defense, drop LOTG: Defense into Quantum Maneuvers and Stealth.

I honestly don't really see the point of Mighty Leap or Unleash Potential.

And just for ideas, here's a copy of my current build.  Pulled "out of order" from the game screen.

thank you very much for your help. Mighty leap just a mule so I could get Unleash potential.  my thought (all though may be totally wrong) was to get unleash potential to use around time of light form crash to help recover from it asap. and I did go for the end discount and +def for the set bonus in unbreakable guard. but your way is better.

If you want to use Unleash Potential because it is a solid defense buff that could increase your survival as an oh shit button, it's perfectly fine to work it into your build. It isn't going to be off cooldown for the majority of your LF crashes, though, and I wouldn't spec into it with that express concern. The better recourse against the LF crash, IMO, is to already have LF back up and active a few seconds prior to the crash, and be ready to slap Essence Boost immediately after.

The thing is...you're Perma Light Form.

The solution is to just hit Light Form again...

I guess that's my ignorance,  No clue why I didn't think to stack LF lol. As far as tanking goes I'm a firm believer in if you want to tank make a tank.  Not sure what this char role is going to be atm.

On the plus side, you basically built a perfectly acceptable perma-Light Form build.  So kudos there!
#AchievementsInIgnorance  😁


Sans the dedicated Taunt, you function well as an Off-Tank/Brute/Scrapper with some ranged attacks.

Have guys fleeing?  Zap them.
Have guys in your face?  Zap them AND *KLONG!* them.

Hi @meyerwolf406. I was just wondering...

in the build you shared above, you put ImpArm Res/Psi in the 4 Luminous Aura Toggles. I tried that, but my stats didn't change. Do they help at all since the 4 toggles don't have any Psi component that the IO can enhance... unlike the Aegis unique.

P.S. I don't have MIDs. I just check the combat attributes before and after slotting.

They are certainly counted in my build, and the resist value adjusted correctly when I unslotted and reslotted one of them.

Good job on the build.  I've been searching for a Human Only PB build.

 

Alpha.  Hmm.

 

I have a habit of going Cardiac on alot of tanky builds.  Erradicates end problems by slashing end costs.  Also a bonus?  Resistance to damage coming in.  I always race to Tier 3 left side.

 

Make up the damage by not taking Musculature by going Assault Tier 3 radial.  Some nice double hit proccy style damage?  

 

I don't  see any way past taking Clarion.  (If you've got plenty of end in the build or just take Cardiac, you don't need Ageless.)

 

Agility.  I have taken this. And if you need it to hit the cap, sure.  Some extra rech'.  And stamina boost.  I'd rather slash end costs going out than boost end coming in general.

This reminds me of piling in Psi resists into my Demon MMind.  Can get mezzed...BUT not for long!

Update.  I finally got my Peacebringer (rolled not long after HC started...) to L50.

 

Completed the build today.

 

I went with Cardiac Alpha with the modified build (based on the OP's build.)

 

Stamina bar was up and down like a yo-yo, all very exciting.  Balancing the end crash from Unstoppable.  Cardiac really helps with all that.  To make up the dam' from not taking eg. Musculature Alpha, I'll go Assault Radial.  Double hit smack proc'.  Judgement.  The Energy AoE.  Ofc.  

 

Ageless.  For more recharge.  I guess you don't need 'mez' protection with the unstoppable?  So I could go Barrier or Ageless.  The latter gives a bucket of recharge and end.  Which on this build would be cool.  And then allow me to Musc' alpha?

 

I'm surprised no forcefeedback in this build.  I wonder if we could squeeze it in?

 

Rip roaring fun.

 

Azrael.
