Mad King Special - Force Edition

Author's Note:

It doesn't take much more than an image to create that mental audio effect from a drawn lightsaber to pop into one's mind. Simple elements like this are demonstrations in the power of fandom, and through fandom is the desire for creation and the want to experience that world, so of course with the vast tools at hand here in City, more than a few folks have made attempts of varying degrees at creating Jedi or Sith based characters. Typically they end up in the melee section, often as Scrappers or Stalkers with Katanas looking to manipulate that character into the mold of George Lucas. After pondering it during a costume contest one night however, and seeing a rather interesting (and wholly unrelated) character, it is possible to get access to that same Katana skinning weapon on Blasters and get access to a slightly better option of attacks to simulate a few other options for Force abilities, or just the general notion of the Star Wars universe.

 

What is a Mad King?

As a refresher for those that are newer players, or have let it slip past the memory banks over time since they were last introduced, a Mad King Special is a unique build style utilizing a specific proc (Force Feedback +Rech) and pouring the entirety of the resource of the build into relying on that trigger effect to speed the build up allowing for aggressively faster cycle times on a lot of abilities that should otherwise not get used or be used at the types of levels this proc can help them achieve. Beyond this the builds are Proc Monsters at their core and tend to sacrifice typical building methods for the sake of offense offense offense. Gotta be a little crazy.

 

A note on triggers: A  FF+Rech in a ST attack going off in chain will often take care of the chain it resides in well enough. For TAoE/PBAoE/Cone in order for successful response for any Proc there needs to be on average 4-5 targets in the field of effect for any chance of something happening, and if there's at least 9-10 it's near-assured that the FF+Rech will trigger 90% of the time. This proc will tap out at two stacks due to duration and what it takes to even get one trigger, but if kept continuous they can super-charge many other long-lasting effects in a build like Nukes or T9's.

 

Why Blasters?

The O.G. MKS builds started out as Energy Blasters for their KB component and expanded from there. The pairing that this focuses on includes a handful of primaries, and one secondary that this utility still works for the design even though I'll also include and house non-MKS builds that are "Force Relevant" here as well.

 

The Star Wars universe, when it comes to what a lot of folks are looking to design, is focused on a Jedi or Sith based concept, both using Lightsabers, one possibly with Force Lightning, but these are not exclusively the only options for Force abilities, and are also not the only weapons used. Blasters and rifles are other common weapons of choice, although rarely is a Sith seen picking up one, many many Jedi had/have carry a firearm of some form. Princess Leia was connected to the Force, but only ever used a sidearm herself as an example.

 

The Focus Sets:

 

• Dual Pistols
  • Bullet Rain and Hail of Bullets are going to be the keystone powers out of Dual Pistols to carry the FF+Rech proc. Executioner's Shot and Piercing Rounds will be the two single target tools that will help in deliver strong ranged damage and excellent -Res solutions.
  • Swap Ammo - Lets talk about this for a second. Interesting effect, can change up damage types, give some interesting side effects, all neat and everything but they can hinder the target goal of Piercing Rounds by shutting down its -Res. It does not however impact FF+Rech being able to trigger in Bullet Rain or HoB. Very much a "fine to take if there's a spot to fill, but can be sacrificed."
• Assault Rifle
  • Very easy to treat this set as a Trooper Character or Blaze style build, even a Mandalorian for the varying effects attached to the rifle powers.
  • Most of the straight forward shots include a KB/KD component giving trigger options for FF+Rech to get slotted into. Much of the Rifle portion of this type of build will easily focus on being an AoE specialist by gravitating towards M30 and Buckshot for FF+Rech cycles. With Hasten and some Global Recharge this build will be grossing 200%+ on an attack chain of Buck > M30 > Ignite with Full Auto sprinkled in on 10/s intervals (down from 60/s).
• Electric Blast
  • Force Lightning, not just a Sith ability (now) (/s), and Electric Blast best illuminates that in the game to near perfection with plenty of variety. Regrettably these powers lack the KB component needed to retrofit a FF+Rech into them making any choices to get this system working reliant either entirely on Golden Dragonfly, or by utilizing outside sources like Force of Will's powers to keep the grease going effectively.
  • Key powers here that are going to focus on thematic aspects will be Tesla Cage, Ball Lightning will sub in a nice arc of AoE lightning at a distance, and of course Lightning Bolt. Zapp and Thunderous Blast just get to become our "angry" versions of the previous attacks.
• Ninja Training
  • Golden Dragonfly is the FF+Rech kicker for Ninja Training and carries the single target chain functions for any combination of these builds. Choking Powder, while not an immediate consideration for some, is also going to be a heavy contending abilities for its proc capacity. Smoke Flash and Blinding Powder also get to serve as "Force Tools" for however someone would want to play those out.

 

Pool and Epic Focus:

• Presence
  • Pacify - This is not the droid you are looking for...
  • There's a ton of both general utility to a Blaster, and general RP value in this pool between both Jedi and Sith sides of the coin. Pacification, Fear, Taunt, and then Unrelenting at the end that adds another incredibly huge heal with Recharge and a chance to auto resurrect yourself if timed correctly.
• Force of Will
  • The other "mind trick" pool of options available. Weaken Resolve acts as the typical Jedi hand wave with Project Will and Wall of Force acting as Force maneuvers without needing any major slotting across the board. Bonus on Unleashed Potential being a great power for +Def as well.
• Mace Mastery
  • We are men of action, lies do not become us. We are just here for Scorpion Shield.
• Force Mastery
  • Force of Nature is the gold mine power here. Once a build starts running around at 300+% global recharge and ability like this starts shrinking its down time considerably giving Blaster's access to a T9 level power normally reserved to Melee on a cooldown they'd never normally see. This will hit 50% uptime with a recharge timer potential somewhere around 240-250/s.
  • Personal Force Field will act as a nice panic option, and Repulsion Bubble is another "interesting Force mechanic" power that's on-theme.

 

This defines the outlying structure of the Force user builds and how each will function within the parameters of the MKS design spectrum. To keep the Lightsaber theme in a Melee setting a transition would have to be made to Katana, and much of how Ninja Training functions can be acquired in Katana/Ninja for Scrappers to achieve similar effects, although more thematic, and less MKS focused. I will include those builds later on just because it keeps in the spirit of the universe.   Each of the Corresponding builds that follow will require Mids Reborn update 3.4.6 or any later update from that point.

Update Log:

Addition of AR/NT Build Five

Corrected Electric/NT to the right build.

 

Edited September 27, 2022 by Sir Myshkin

[HachiMan2015]

Thanks for the builds and the cool intro!

 

The Elec/NT build comes out as a DP/NT in Mids, unless I am doing something wrong?

Thanks for catching that, I've corrected it.

I had made a Sith-themed blaster a while ago.

Elec Ninja Blaster rebuild2.mxd

[Sir Myshkin]

Just adding a bump update specifically to this thread because it does have considerable impact on key elements of multiple builds and will likely change some prospective choices. Eventually Mid's will get updated with these changes at some point and I'll look at reworking a couple of builds with some of the changes, until then this is notation:

 

Per Issue 27, Page 6:

Blast Power Set Updates

Assault Rifle

Slug

• Cast time lowered from 1.67s to 1.4s.

Beanbag

• Lowered cooldown to 10s.
• Increased damage to scale 0.98.
• Added PvP Damage (1.43 scale).

Sniper Rifle (Quick)

• Cast time lowered from 1.67s to 1.17s.

Ignite

• Incinerator replaced with Ignite for Sentinels
• Lowered cooldown to 14s.
• Now does DoT over 5.5 seconds to a single target, for a total of 3.146 scale damage. Partially front-loaded.
• If target is on the ground, Ignite leaves a fire patch at the target's feet. Other foes standing on the patch take fire damage and will try to flee.
• Can target flying enemies.

Flamethrower

• DoT now is applied over 4.7s, down from 7.1s (same damage).

Full Auto

• Arc increased from 20 to 90 degrees.

Dual Pistols

Suppressive Fire

• Cast time reduced from 1.67s to 1.5s.
• Recharge reduced from 20s to 8s for non-standard ammo.
• Incendiary: Scale 2 duration Mag 3 hold (stacks). Damage increased to 1.64 scale.
• Cryo: Scale 4 duration Mag 4 hold (replace). Damage increased to 1.64 scale.
• Chemical: Scale 8 duration Mag 3 hold (stacks). Damage increased to 0.87 scale.
• Standard: No change from Live. Still 20s cooldown.

Piercing Rounds

• Resistance debuff now is applied while using any round type, stacking changed to replace.
• Duration of debuff increased to 15s.
• A ring icon now pops up to indicate the last use of Piercing Rounds was over 13s ago. This QoL change helps optimize reapplications of the debuff on a single target.

These are such cool ideas. I saw your other mad king energy build and I love the creativity. Do you still play on homecoming? Would be cool to see you or play with you in game sometime. 

[bjay0801]

I'm currently running a seismic/ninja which I am having a blast with! Using the rocks like levitation to hit enemies and finish them off with a lightsaber! Loving it!

I'm around from time to time, but I'm not on nearly as much as I used to be. I've had to prioritize family and health this last year which has meant almost zero time for CoH.
