i posted a beam/TA build last week and it was my first build after over 10 years so needless to say i forgot a lot and overlooked a lot and basically i didnt know what i was doing and it was just a failure of a build.. with the last one i was trying to softcap as much def as i could and with evasive maneuvers help i actually softcapped range/aoe/melee pretty easily, i thought i did anyway lol... i didnt realize you lose the def bonus from evasive maneuvers in battle.. 

 

a couple people in my last thread taught me a few things and i researched on my own aswell, heres my redo for my beam/ta/flame build.

 

at first i did try to softcap range and AoE but i just couldnt do it, at least not without gimping literally every other part of the build and sacrificing way too much so then i focused on getting 32.5% range and aoe so a small purple will softcap me if i need it.

 

i did actually kinda do 2 different builds, its the same just with 3 powers flipped to alternate to change the set bonuses. the first and the one i am going with is sitting at just over 35% range and aoe def with a healthy amount of S/L resistance 30+% and the second build i softcapped ranged and sacrificed my 2 procced out powers and some aoe, everything else thats important is pretty much the same.. so in my build in mids if you want to flip glue arrow, cutting beam and piercing beam to alternate you can see the ranged def focused version of the build.

 

a few comments about my IO choices...  

 

i know 3 sets of BotZ probably looks overkill but i added them for the set bonuses, but hey with them and gymnactics putting me at mag25 KB protection i dont think i have to worry about getting knocked around LOL

 

glue arrow i didnt worry about acc enh because its auto hit right?

 

i added a acc to cutting beam because it does have a acc check, can i get away with dropping the acc, relying on my base tohitt/acc and throwing in another proc?

 

i think 6 slotting upshot seemed a little bit too much but set bonuses.....

 

i put a force feedback rech proc in my snipe, should i remove that and put a kismet +acc in another power instead? which is better for me?

 

@SeraphimKensai and @Nemu if you two wouldnt mind checking this out you two were the ones in my last thread teaching me, thanks for that!

 

i did go into options>config>effects and maths>suppression and turned on attacked and activate attack click to make evasive maneuvers not show its def bonus like if i was in battle or clicking something...

Ultimately go with your gut. I spent a few minutes reconstructing the following build a bit as a little experiment. I kept most your power selections, reallocated some slotting, and changed sets around to softcap ranged and then start pumping into typed. This is designed to play with kinetic shield, a cheap p2w temp power to boost s/l defense, but its probably not needed. Cycling Clarion radial, Support radial, or Demonic/Eye of the Magus keeps you softcapped to pretty much all except psi/toxic.

This also is immune from recharge and slow debuffs, because the winter sets, so its expensive. I wouldn't expect anyone to build this out, but its just an exercise in theorycrafting. every attack can ignite OSA as well.

that does look like a really survivable build and thank you for taking the time. at first i was looking for as much def/survivability as i could get but now im leaning more towards the middleground like how i made my new build, good def but still good damage and fun procs... the one thing for me though is dropping piercing beam, even though it only has a high damage indicator compared to other superior and extreme powers and in mids the numbers say that penetrating ray is the highest single target power, from experience PB is the hardest hitting power in the whole set besides for the nuke obvioustly even single target it outdoes PR (considering i never use PR as an actual snipe, only engaged so it doesnt get the damage bonus), a little long cast time but i would never drop it.

like I said, it was an exercise in theory crafting. I probably wouldn't necessarily play it like that myself. Dropping flash arrow for piercing beam, you can do artillery's in place of siphon insight if you prefer.

You are right that it's REALLY REALLY hard to get Ranged and AoE softcap without making really weird power picks and sacrifices in slotting to boot. The general consensus is that there'll be far more Range attacks that you'll need to cover than AoEs if you go with a pure ranged build so a lot of builds will softcap range and that's it.

 

However powersets that feature a lot of slows may have an easier time with AoE defense. The key is Ice Mistral's Torment.
