Tankshock Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Any good suggestions? Usually Destiny is a key power for completing a build, but for this one it doesn't seem to make much difference, and I don't want to overlook something important. Thinking about Rebirth just to heal teammates. Barrier could help a little, he's not at 45 or 90. Maybe Clarion would help teammates more, and +Absorption/Healing would help when things got hot. Any wisdom insights here? Thanks!
Sovera Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Depends on your build. My own Rad/MA has 40% defenses to Melee/Ranged/AoE and 85% resistances so that Barrier will make it permanent 45% and 90%. Of course being resistance base it doesn't NEED the last 5% but any situation tough enough to warrant using Barrier will do that. Even if you don't need Barrier yourself Barrier is usually what keeps the team safe where Vigor heals, but, can't heal a corpse. - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.
Tankshock Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 How does Barrier make it permanent? Are the in-game stats wrong?

No, they are not wrong... the T4s (and 1 of the T3s on the core side) will last 2 mins, which is how long the power recharges. The effects just slowly wane over that 2 mins, but it does last that long - hence being "perma." Most all Destinies are like this. And as for what to pick.... it's always depending on what your needs or wants are. All are good and useful. It is totally up to you and your preference. I have toons that have made several and some that have made all of them.
Tankshock Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 In game lists defense lasting 10 seconds, resistance 2 minutes.

Open Combat Attributes, view defense and activate Barrier. It will show the buffs you're getting. This screenshot is for T3 Barrier Total Core Invocation. 1
Sovera Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The effects slow wear off, but one of the sides lasts for 2 minutes whiule the other lasts for a minute a half. The 2 minutes means the minimum effect is permanent since the duration matches the recharge. In Barrier's case it's a huge amount of defense and resistance but wears off to 5% defense and 5 resistance, hence me building to 40%. - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.
Psyonico Posted March 14 Posted March 14 another possibility is Ageless Radial, the idea being to give yourself the Defense Debuff Resistance that you lack in Rad. With MA, I'm assuming you've built at least some defense, so the DDR can be helpful. What this team needs is more Defenders
Tankshock Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 Thanks. I considered that, but the perma 5% in defense would soft cap me, which is a big deal. The extra resistance in things like cold doesn't hurt either.
