SS/Fiery Aura for concept (no farm, no mids)

xNemox · March 12, 2023

Dear community,

as a casual player on an apple laptop I don't use mids. The last weeks I alternated my playtime between my AR/Inv Sentinel (thanks to Meknomancer for providing a build for me) and one of my first toons, Novaranger, a SS/FA Brute. It is strictly for concept, I didn't know a thing about the game when I created him on Reunion as the Denebian Guardsman. Now playing solely on Excelsior.

Slowly leveling, now in the late 30´s I try to understand how to build for that character. I read through many posts, like Soveras Compilation and think I am orientated. But since most builds are for farming I'm a bit uncertain.

I understand to build for resistance first while playing pve. I play mostly solo and pug for more fun. I see him more of an sturdy scrapper who can offtank if needed.

I use combat jumping and super jump for concept. All FA skills and Punch, Haymaker, Knockout Blow, Rage and Footstomp from SS. Fighting pool is set too.

I don't like to stray too much from concept for powers, so for epic Energy or Pyremastery would be preferred, I guess. Hasten should be great for FA as I understand.

Since I am a bit low on funds and alternating them between two characters I really would appreciate any advice for power picks and slotting.

If anybody could provide me with a build that is survivable in most casual context and still damage worthy I would be grateful.

Cheers

Nemo

No build here; I don't use mids either. I went cheap to build up my Fire tank, so this advice should be relevant. 6 slots in plasma shield and fire shield, with 4 Titanium Coatings and 2 Reactive Armors. Steadfast KB protection in Temperature Protection and a Blessing of the Zephyr KB Protection in CJ. I never took Phoenix Rising. Energy Mastery I took Focused Acc and Physical Perfection. I didn't take fighting pool, can't help you there. I supposed to run those extra toggles you'll have end issues so slot a Numinas Reg/Rec and a Miracle + Recovery in Health to help that, as well as a Performance Shifter + End in Stamina. Slot your SS powers with sets that add to your NRG resistance and Smashing Resistance.

I look at it and thank you again, sir. Your effort is much appreciated. A true supernova : )

Edited March 17, 2023 by xNemox

Sovera · March 17, 2023

If you read the compilation it should have most of what you need in terms of builds. I'm fairly sure that there is a SS one in there as well. They might be slightly outdated with the recent patches but the framework of IOs to build resistances and such should still be fine.

xNemox · March 17, 2023

Thanks for showing up, Sovera. Indeed, I did. Wasn't quite sure if they were meant for pve, though. Now I am. SS I haven't seen there, but many other melee sets.

SeraphimKensai · March 17, 2023

Rule of thumb with Fiery Aura, get your resistances reasonably high, slot enough slow protection to keep Healing Flames from getting frozen. Slot 8mag of kb protection. Otherwise you can layer your overall protection by padding some defense but know that you won't have any DDR short of ageless radial to protect it.

xNemox · March 19, 2023

Thanks for summing it up, Seraph. That confirms that what I thought I learned by now.

Edit: Got ahead of myself on the submit button. This is a high-damage out put build but is still very much a casual-capable build too. It has capped S/L/E/N/F with a touch of universal defense to help soften to kickback from Rage so the build doesn't go negative on its own merits.

I know you mentioned concern with funds so a key piece of advice I have for you on supporting something like this: Craft the uncommon IO drops you get and convert them into a rare IO, you don't have to jump far just enough to get something worth 2+ million influence and then sell it on the auction house. It may at first be a slow process, but if you're casually playing it'll be at your own pace anyway. Eventually those sales will build up for the larger pieces like Winter O's and Purples, but for everything else try buying the uncommon recipes at low cost (sub 100k) and crafting them yourself at whatever level you need/want, and rare stuff that has high surplus you should be able to get for 2-3 million instead of crafting, or you can use the converting trick to get the pieces that way.

This entire build can be put together with zero starter influence.

Edit: Got ahead of myself on the submit button. This is a high-damage out put build but is still very much a casual-capable build too. It has capped S/L/E/N/F with a touch of universal defense to help soften to kickback from Rage so the build doesn't go negative on its own merits.

I know you mentioned concern with funds so a key piece of advice I have for you on supporting something like this: Craft the uncommon IO drops you get and convert them into a rare IO, you don't have to jump far just enough to get something worth 2+ million influence and then sell it on the auction house. It may at first be a slow process, but if you're casually playing it'll be at your own pace anyway. Eventually those sales will build up for the larger pieces like Winter O's and Purples, but for everything else try buying the uncommon recipes at low cost (sub 100k) and crafting them yourself at whatever level you need/want, and rare stuff that has high surplus you should be able to get for 2-3 million instead of crafting, or you can use the converting trick to get the pieces that way.

This entire build can be put together with zero starter influence.

Am i missing the kb protection? Temperature protection only gives 1 point. How do you stop yourself getting bounced like a ping pong ball?

Ah, no, when I flipped a few things around to put Pyre in I knocked it out of Tough, there should be three pieces of Gladiators in there, take out the Aegis and that puts it at 4pts which is sufficient for most stuff.
