SS/SJ + WP/INV?

Marshal_General · February 3, 2023

I am making a brawler type of character loosely based on Vi from League of Legends.

The idea is only power sets with very little or no graphics since all her power will come from her gauntlets.

What do you think would be the best combo for this that also is very effective?

Thanks

Erratic1 · February 3, 2023

The animations I can find show the gauntlets glowing. Ever consider Energy Melee?

Marshal_General · February 3, 2023

I have an EM scrapper and right now I am trying to avoid sets I have a 50 of.

A minor glow on the gauntlets is fine since they are powered.

You mean I went through all the trouble of putting together a demo look with EM for nothing?

But I get it. I do not like repeating myself on powersets either.

After watching the show I'd got with Stj/Will. She get's knocked down but keeps coming.

Marshal_General · February 3, 2023

This is what mine will look like. I will most likely go with SJ as the rage crash still irritates me, though I do like turning Foot Stomp into a ground punch.

This is the first draft of the build I created. Let me know what can be done better.

I am conservative in suggesting build changes because I cannot know what is important to the person, but I will toss out that as goes my StJ/Inv Brute, I took Sweeping Cross and added Cross Punch for 1-2, deja vu action.

I tweaked what you had, dropping Initial Strike for Sweeping Cross and dancing some slots/enhancements around. The comparison to what you had can be summed up as:

I know you said you already said you had an Energy Melee scrapper but StJ...let's talk about StJ....

As noted above, I made an StJ/Inv Brute. I have him at 50 and largely slotted out. He's not bad. He doesn't really compare in terms of delivering a beatdown to my SS/Bio Brute...and that's annoying as all get out. Yeah, StJ does not have Rage, but it also does not have Rage crash and you do get the combo mechanic for dealing out extra damage. That does not put it in the same ballpark as SS. Think of it as more lacrosse instead of baseball. Let me -=STRONGLY=- suggest you try the finished product out on the test server to see if it is giving you the umph you really expect.

I may finish up my StJ/Inv Brute if for no other reason than he has an awesome costume, though it has to be easier to make a new character and give him the costume.

Marshal_General · February 5, 2023

How much of a damage difference do you think is from the offensive stance of Bio vs Inv between the two builds? Do you think they would be more inline if your SS was also Inv?

I don't run my SS/Bio in Offensive, preferring the non-stop hitting of Efficient. If I did run in Offensive the StJ would fall further behind. Offensive would take his Knockout Blow up by about 100 damage...maybe I should visit it once in a while.

Marshal_General · February 5, 2023

I usually test characters at level 22 which is when I slot IOs. I did made a SJ/WP and a SS/WP on test to run around Talos. SS lacks AoE until 26 so I thought about getting Cross Punch at around 14 or so, but since WP doesn't have an Oh Crap ability, I thought about using Hand Clap for that. Getting everything as early as I want them is flipping me the bird.
