Seems lately I have a knack for trying combos that don't have build suggestions in the forums, or that just aren't discussed much.

 

Been poking around trying to find a good Savage Melee/Willpower setup. Even tried poking around in the Brute forums. Found a few discussions that died-off before any sort of final critique of "yeah, that looks good."

 

Anyone have a final build they'd like to share?

I can't even remember how i slotted my wp scraps i don't think i played any in over 2 years and i lost all the builds. Pretty sure you want as much e/ne defence as you can get with softcapped s/l resists and some f/c def thrown in. Savage is fun but hemorrage is a power i always skip along with the teeny cone shred, so i end up running maiming slash on auto and just hitting savage strike+vicious slash in between to build up stacks. Shadow meld from soul tends to be my goto patron pick so possibly something like this:

the teeny cone shred,

What?! Shred's cone isn't the widest, but it's not teeny by any stretch either. Not only should you take Shred, you should have it procced out and fire it every time it's up even if you're only fighting a single target. It's an AMAZING power.

7 foot cone is teeny however you look at it, its comparable to the most skippable powers in melee sets such as rad melees proton sweep. Sure you can proc it out but a power that rarely hits more than a single target is better replaced with....a single target attack which procced out will do more damage.

It pretty much sweeps my whole forward arc slightly longer than melee range. It's a melee power. I'm not expecting to hit guys across the room with it and it's kind of ridiculous if you are expecting that. It's good damage in a wide arc. Like....you have no clue what you're talking about here. I NEVER see it skipped in Savage Melee. People skip proton sweep because its damage vs end cost just straight up suck. That's not the case with all or even most melee arc attacks. Especially not with Shred.

I quite like the animation. I like that it slots pbaoe sets which give better set bonuses. I still have it on a single savage toon that hasn't respecced out of it and its vet level 107+, its not like i haven't given the power a good run out. You've never seen it skipped in savage melee toons? Thats odd. I've only seen it taken on a couple. I'm not sure where you get the idea that i expect to hit stuff across the room with it. Clearly you love the power, that doesn't mean everyone else has to and it doesn't mean the teeny cone isn't teeny.

That fact that you think its shortcoming is that it only has a slightly longer reach than most melee attacks do? And its cone is freaking WIDE, that isn't "teeny" by any sensible definition.

My main is at 250+ vet level. I don’t have shred. I actually might try to switch the first post for it, but haven’t yet. I’ve not liked it before but 4 years might be time to try it again.
