jprewitt73 Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 One of my favorite combos right now is this Ice Melee/Bio Brute. Absolutely a blast to play. He's been level 50 for a while now, but I'm trying to fine tune his build for a bit more but I am somewhat a novice when it comes to both primary and secondary. Anyone play this combo before? Any advice that I can do to change things around a bit? I'm not planning on investing billions of influence in this build and I'm using a lot of IO sets I already have access to. What sort of changes would you look for with this combo? https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1674&c=716&a=1432&f=HEX&dc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
jprewitt73 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Seem to be having issues with exporting the actual build, so not sure what I'm doing wrong on that end... Edited February 9, 2023 by jprewitt73
Yomo Kimyata Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 When you get your build up and posted (I usually use plain text and a datachunk and I put it in a spoiler) let us know what you are looking to change up! 1 Who run Bartertown?

hakurr Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 i apologize i thought you was looking for Ice Melee / Shield. Here is an Ice Melee / Bio build that you can look at. Brute - Ice Melee - Bio Armor.mxd
Yomo Kimyata Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 SO MUCH ENDURANCE! Bio has so many endurance recovery tools that you can probably skip Inexhaustible and choose an entirely different epic pool if you want. But your current build is way overkill! Who run Bartertown?
jprewitt73 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 I can definitely see it being overkill. I'll see what I can with the build. Overall there just weren't any epic pools that stood out to me on this character at all. Maybe Mu Patron for the two potential ranged AoE attacks. I'll see what I can come up with.
Meknomancer Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Freezing touch is your best st attack, frozen aura is your best aoe, both should be slotted for damage. If it were me i'd just go for 40'ish f/c/e/ne defence and as much s/l resists as i could and rely on a t4 barrier to make up the rest. For recharge, hasten and crosspunch slotted with an ff+rech. DNA Siphon to keep the blue bar topped up. Bio gives a huge amount of s/l res but everything else has to be built in (psi/toxic/f/c/e/ne resistance) and if you do that your sacrificing all your recharge and damage sets and won't even get close to having enough to make a difference.
