Dual Pistols / Cold / Soul - A Page 5 rebuild

[tidge]

 

I was never dissatisfied with this character prior to page 5, I finally did the respec only to move the marquee powers earlier in the build. The new build offers more offense across lower levels, with the sacrifice essentially that team buffs I once had available for low level content have been (long delayed)... I guess this is essentially a nostalgic sentiment, but even if my PUGs rarely needed them my choice to delay certain powers is a melancholic compromise.

 

Sacrificing/Delaying the team buffs (and Snow Storm) left me with one major choice (or a series of moderate choices that sum to a major choice): do I take Rune of Protection at level 20 or not? The build previously had it at level 30, so ultimately I kept it there. Even nerfed, RoP is a very useful power for a squishy with no inherent Mez protection... but I didn't want to delay personal (toggled) Defenses (from Weave, Arctic Fog) and I felt that the Dual Pistols primary (T8, T9) and Cold Domination secondary (T7, T8) were too important to delay.

 

This build does not include Hasten, I don't think it needs it. If I was only focused on level 50-ish content, it ought to be possible to make a smooth (but more limited) attack chain with perma-Hasten (without Force Feedback %recharge) via some alternate power choices and set bonuses.

 

This build may look like it is skimping on some Accuracy, but I slipped a Kismet +ToHit into Weave, now taken at level 16.
