Beast/Trick Arrow - Critique my build!

[the1egend1ives]

Trick Arrow is a pretty defenseless secondary for MMs, and beasts benefit massively from +defense. So to mitigate damage, I took power boost + flash arrow. My goal is to get permapower boost on this build so that all my debuffs melt enemies into pudding

I also proc'd the shit out of Ice Arrow and Acid Arrow.  Ice Arrow hits like a sniper attack, and Acid Arrow does decent pbaoe damage to tightly packed groups. I have a lockdown in EMP arrow which fires pretty reliably on every target it hits.

Flash Arrow, Disruption Arrow and Oil Slick is all you really need.

You have nothing to stack Ice Arrow with, i personally dont get proc bombs and this will not build beast stacks

Entangling Arrow is nice for late game stuff, I take it at level 49 or so, single acc or acc/mez hami.  You will get more mileage out of Assault

Flash Arrow is auto hit and a bigass radius, I recommend 4/6 dark watchers.  4 pieces with -tohit will do it.  Also Power Boost effects Flash Arrow for some staggering numbers

Glue Arrow is alright, seems overslotted.  1-2 recharge max

Poison Gas sounds nice but its not really. -15% damage is nothing coupled with things resisting it

Acid Arrow is also bad in practice, still a small radius and with proper slotting you dont need the -def, also requires a tohit check for itself

And EMP arrow has a long recharge and small radius.  it sounds awesome sure but you wont stay in one place long enough to ever really get the full benefit from it outside of AV fights, screw that too if they start running/moving around.

If you have not already go get the Taser (tech?) starting attack from the START vendor.  return your original, use taser to light Oil Slicks

 

Get those personal attacks early on

Maybe work in Maneuvers/assault earlier

Vengeance is a nice mule that can buff rarely

Dont forget Hamis.  a res/end and def/end in tough/weave for minmaxing slots when everything else is too tight.  cytos are a little costly, ribos are not.  and personally i didnt have enough room for Tough slots, so it just holds 1-2 procs on most masterminds

 

Now, all I do is group in large teams.  Flash Arrow is going to be your main thing most of the time because some groups just mow down targets no problem and you wont have time to get fancy with all the other arrows.  if you solo maybe your build works for that
