Fixed build

[eugee]

I think I got this fixed finally!  So this is my first attempt in over a decade to plan/build a full character out completely, while also learning as much of the new stuff as I could!

 

I do tend to play mostly solo or with just a couple buddies on weekends so I was interested in picking up the direct powers to supplement something to do between bubbling.  I spent a long time examining and experimenting with the set bonuses (and then discovered the >cap 5< issue after spamming Shield Wall (5)'s +2.5% damage all over the place, lol!

 

This is about as much +DMG as I could pack on the build, while also picking up every unique enhance that seemed important.  Main goals were to pick up all for pet boosts (SCotMM, SMoS, CtA, Exp.Rein.), all 5 healing uniques (plus another heal with Numina for the extra 2-piece regen), the 3 Defense uniques, and the 3 Resist Damage uniques I liked.

I want to try this for sure.  Anyway to fit Hover and fly in earlier for leveling?

Yeah you can push back Leaping or Leadership to pick them up earlier. At one point I had group fly by 16 and it was fun but I wanted to try out the buffs earlier and I use a rocket board to travel instead.

Those Stamina and Regeneration procs only effect you and only when you use said powers.  So whenever you resummon your repair drone only you get the +regen.  or if you use upgrade robots only you get +rec/regen

Mark of Supremacy's regen will be for your pets

Assault can be taken later.  people praise it because they think they are adding like 15-200% damage because so many pets and team members but in reality its basically adding a DO's worth of damage,  and for pets that have a low base damage is not much.  maybe a travel power?

Force Bombs radius is smaller than other aoes.  it sounds great on paper but you wont always hit max targets

 

Your epic pool can be switched to Mace Mastery for +smash/lethal defense and power boosted  bubbles

And in case it isn't obvious, this build was put together around Level 40.  Hence the non-L50 pieces.

@Hyperstrike  Would you happen to have a Mids Build link for this that you wouldn't mind sharing?  TIA

Are you possibly thinking of Panacea & Preventive Medicine?  Those are the procs and they are in Health.  Tissue Regen, Numina's, and Miracle are all passive bonuses according to the planner.

I understand SMoS (plus SCotMM, ER, and CtA) all affect the pets only.

Assault is a relatively free 11% damage buff for everyone and every thing for the low cost of 0.27 end/s.  I'm realistic about what it's doing.  I did end up dropping Fighting to take Evasive Maneuvers (15% base defense) and a late Repulsion Bolt (3-slotted Overwhelming for 3% damage & KB2KD) for the -15% resist debuff.

Force Bomb is something to do with my endurance for the 4 minutes between bubbles, mostly.

I might change the epic pool down the road but right now I like the Force Field theme and I'm tight on power slots anyway lol

 

Thanks for the feedback!

[kelika2]

evasive maneuvers defense drops when in combat.  hero planner is not perfect by any means and im sticking to those procs only working when you use said powers.

 

In the power Health they are passive.  but if you put Numina's reg/rec in healing aura, you will only get when.. use.. something.  i got bored typing good luck
