Request for FB: Seismic / Invul

[Myamoto Musashi]

Hi,

I am terrible at creating builds so I need your help.

This build objectives are:

• I haven't played Sentinel yet
• I haven't played Invul yet
• I haven't played Seismic Blast yet
• Able to solo but will play in teams often

I took form build posted on invul and seismic and tried to make it fit.

Notes: Unstoppable is here as a way to increase psi res and as a oh shit button.

 

I will take advice on incarnates as well.

 

This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7

At a quick glance your build looks mostly fine to me. In my opinion, you're underslotting Durability and Dull Pain, and overslotting your resistance sets.

 

(1) Invul does typed defense so doesn't get as much out of those 4-tier Unbreakable Guard bonuses as you might expect. Shortening your resistance slotting to 2 pieces of res + res/end would be fine in most cases.

(2) Durability is a passive absorb shield, it's worth slotting for Heal(Absorb) above all.

(3) Dull Pain is a great heal + maxHP boost on a long recharge. Extra HP is basically like resistance that multiplies your existing resistance, so this is fantastic for Invul - you really want this power perma. It's a good candidate for a full Preventive Medicine set, for example.

[nihilii]

I just can't see a couple extra % points of defense and resistance being worth losing perma DullPain and slotted Durability, is my thinking.

So given the identified problem (two key powers are underslotted. where do we get these slots?), this is the easiest fix I could spot.

If you can have both, of course, the more the merrier.

Again, it all depends on the aims of your build.
And this was meant as general advice.
Simply looking at it as "Bonus Too Small" ignores other considerations.

My main problem is I can't open the build, and thus can't really give the setup a good Once-Over..  I'm stuck on 3.46 as .47 blows up horribly and pukes everything all over the place for me.
Don't know why.  At this point, I can't be bothered to care anymore.

I feel that is the opposite of what I did, so this seems like either an unfair characterisation or largely irrelevant to quoting me...

I spotted a problem in Dull Pain and Durability being underslotted. So my quick fix ("at a quick glance") was to zone in to the most obvious area where slots could be taken.

I didn't open the build in Mids either. This is my 5 minutes fly-by look from the forum export. I'm not claiming this is the most optimized solution.

Not sure why you deleted your original reply either. Your points were relevant, especially on Unbreakable Guard also giving E/N resistance. Which is why I gave you the thumbs up.

Bit of a frustrating interaction, to be honest. I hope OP gets something out of the different opinions, if nothing else.

Hopefully this helps a bit to view.

Please don't fight. I don't like when parents fight! 🙂

 

I was thinking Dull Pain was very hard to make perma so I saw it as a oh shit button just like unstoppable but I guess I have the wrong idea.

[Myamoto Musashi]

Made a few changes as recommended:

Removed slots in Health and Stamina to add to Durability and Dull Pain.

DP is now perma (by like 2 seconds) and Durability is focused on HP gains.
