Gobbledygook Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Thank you for joining. I've been away from the game for a year, and before jumping into my usual melee AT, I decided to bring a character concept I have to life. Attacks need to be a good mix of punches and blasts that could be considered some form of energy. I'm making him loosely based on Havok, one of my favorite mutant heroes. I play a mix of solo and PuGs. In the past I've always judged my toons effectiveness on being able to solo at least some A/V's. Would you go PB? Sentinel? Dom? My enquiring mind wants to know...

You could then take the Mace Mastery PPP for an energy shield, and perhaps boxing, tough, and weave if you wanted to further bolster his durability.

I Agree with @biostem and would also make an Energy/Energy Blaster. Energy punching and shooting right there. You can solo and be survivable as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLVRIZR Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 One of my first-ever toons on Live was a NRG/NRG blaster, and I remade him on HC. I also modified the concept to an NRG/Martial/Force Mastery blaster and since that pantheon of Marvel heroes also trained in the martial arts, you might consider that combo.

Biff Pow Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I also recommend Energy/Energy Blaster. I soloed all the Task Force Commander TFs, so you can definitely solo AVs. No tricks needed, just some purple inspirations and Energy's massive damage output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the passives from Martial Arts, leveraging Burst of Speed pretty much allows for a seamless shift between melee and ranged combat. Combat Teleport allows other combinations to do the same, of course. It may not feel much like "Havok" but only because classic Havok is IMO pretty much designed to be a ranged-exclusive.... which might be more "Sentinel" than "Blaster". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusiphur Malache Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 NRG^3 was my main on live also when it was hard and I was stupid, kb to kd didn't exist back then unless you just used hover all the time. On Homecoming attempted to recreate. Whent full on Blapper and I might have bought all the kb to kd that one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
