Super Reflexes / MA Build. Your Thoughts

[meyerwolf406]

Been working on this for a several days now and done 2 respects trying out different builds in game and I think this one is going to be the final one.  I really don't like doing respects they take soooooo long lol.   I know its a fairly expensive Build but that's why we farm right. I already have the 3

D-sync on another character  I don't play that I can take from.  I found that Dragon Tail does more damage proc'd out then when I just had Superior Gauntleted Fist (witch is what it has in it now). I feel that the build doesn't suffer to much by swapping out for the extra damage but I am by NO means a expert.  I am having fun with Fold Space as I learn how to and not to use the ability. I can and have been playing with Sprint on with no issues so my End seems to be fine.  One question I have would be Alpha slot for this build? I was thinking  Musculature Core for more damage or would the build benefit more from  Nerve Total Core For ACC, or would another one fill in any gaps that I'm not seeing better?  This is not a solo play character. 

I will be teaming 99% of the time but unlike some of my other tanks some of witch I made to run only 1 specific TF and NOTHING else.  This one will be all over the place doing TF's from all lvl ranges multiple time just to have fun teaming with ppl.

Thanks for taking a look and giving me your thoughts and ideas.

Howdy. I looked over your build. Just wanna offer a couple of my own opinions.

 

That's some pretty impressive s/l resistance, but if you're making this toon for general purpose, I would recommend sacrificing some of that to invest into nrg/neg resistance. It'll help with stuff like ITF where the Nictus Essence will autohit you. The 3 passives also offer massive scaling resistance, so as you lose HP you essentially become more invincible.

 

I have a couple of proc chasing toons, but my personal experience with MA is that because the powers recharge so fast, you start to see diminishing returns on your procs in long fights. This is mostly just personal feel. I've never done real testing on that.

 

Anyways, I do have an example of what I would do for your perusal. I did keep in mind you want to use Fold Space but I almost forgot, so I built with that in mind.

Wow.  You made spot on points.  I started getting that S/L Res over 35% I lost focus on all the others. I agree 100% if I am going to run the Gauntlet of TF's and especially ITF (witch is my favorite) its best to have a more balanced build.  

Does the +6% Enhancement (Heal) effect regen or the Proc of Panacea?

It gives a tiny boost to the regeneration you get from Health. With softcap and scaling resists, you don't need much else to keep yourself upright, so little boosts like that can go a long way.

I see what you mean about the Proc's. With your build Dragon Tail is up every 3.5 sec when ever Hasten is on and under 3 sec on a regular basses. with a PPM of only 3.5 you have alot of time with no proc at all.  Not yet Fully incarnated but got Alpha and Destiny to their top tiers.  

Thank you again for all your help.  You turned a good build into a great one.  I will make sure to give credit where it's do in my Character profile.
