AR/TA Build - Help A Noob

[dcook68]

So I love this toon, but its one of my first builds. I could really use some help!

I just returned to the game after a long break, so I'm rusty at this. Here's a build without changing powers and no budget restraints. Decent ranged survivability, and almost perma-hastened, but in practical gameplay it'll easily be perma.

thanks!! i can put some of this into action now, and will need to grow into some of the expensive stuff 🙂

Glad I could be of help! Included alternate slotting for the purple level 50 sets (shift+r.click to swap), for exemplaring or levelling builds.

 

EDIT: Made a mistake with the Melt Armor slotting. Add HO - Ectosome Exposure (33% acc & rech) instead. Also consider HO - Stereocilla Exposure (33% slow & end & rech) in Glue Arrow (I think the slow effect is auto-hit and don't need acc).

I’ve got a build I can share tomorrow assuming I remember. It’s an homage to Rambo though so not the most ideal power pool choices. It’s really fun.

Ah yes, this pairing was/is the standard “Rambo” build.

 

It’s been a spell since I built mine but you may appreciate some of the builds discussed here.  
 

 

And @Nemu did a nice reworking (dare I say….Rambo First Blood: Part 2) after i27 changes dropped here.

Here's my thread where I debated making a Defender or Corrupter with Assault Rifle and Trick Arrow.  It has my build, a few others, and some discussion on powers and tactics.
