Lady Grams: Ninja/Empathy IO build

[smnolimits43]

Alright, i've decided to go back to the beginning.  My first lvl 50 on homecoming was Lady Grams, i've slotted her out with lvl 53 SOs, but i would like to finally get her, her alpha slot, and IO slotted.  What i need is a IO build??  How do i slot the empath powers, should i take the attack powers ??  Should i just stick with the pets, how should i slot them ??  I want to be able to start doing Baf trials, stuff like that.  With the new changes, will my Ninjas be useful ??

[smnolimits43]

no responses. even with the changes the two sets aren't loved ??

Ninjas are awesome. Empathy sucks (when your playing it, not when your on the receiving end) Show us your build, what do you want? Which powers do you like? What travel do you use? I have a single empath. Its 50 and i've had it for about a year and played it twice so i dunno if i can help emp side. Ninjas i just started playing again they are no. 1 melee dps pet toons now and eat av's for breakfast faster than anything else.

This is an SO build, i want to start slotting for an IO build.  I'm not sure i want to keep the attacks, even after the changes.  What would you replace them with ??

I'm sticking with Super Jump for the travel power.

How should i slot Fortitude with IOs. Same with RA's and Adrenalin Boost.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

I like the new attack system on the mm's i try to keep aimed shot at least on ninjas, if you open out the pet window you can see it being applied. Swap out ss for sj. If you open up the build abobe you'll see i just tossed in @Auroxis fender emp build on top of my ninja/time for slotting. You can dump sorcery, right now i just like it for fly and a mule for res io's and swap in whatever you want. If theres things you don't like just take them out the build and put in the powers you enjoy using and slot for massive amounts of recharge. I find empathy to be one of the most expensive sets to build for. Even with no winter bits finding ways to get your recharge high enough for it to be effective means splashing out on a lot of panaceas/lotg/red fortunes (even the cost of those is high as farmers drop bucketloads of them but then tend to convert them to reactives/lotg) . The rag and apoc sets are pretty much there for the recharge bonuses but if you dump the attacks you can find ways to replace them.

ok so i swapped out the Archery attacks for the teleport pool, i just find i'm not using it.  I also have extra slots, not sure what to do with them.  I had a look at your IO build and i like it, but need to replace the travel powers early in the build with hover and fly.
