But that aside, would you say my build is valide and could fullfill its role? Can you post a Mids file? It's tricky to tell intricacies from a screenshot, especially whenever you appear to have "Rest" toggled on. At a glance I'm sure it's viable, but I can see some room for improvement. + I'm not sure why you swapped slots to Channelgun over Arm Lash? The ATO proc should go in whichever attack you do not use often, the other should be 6-slotted and proced. + The major AoE attacks (Frenzy and Dark Obliteration) are not proc bombed. You're also missing the Fury of the Gladiator -res proc in Frenzy which will affect pet damage - if you want to keep the Armageddon set (why?) move the Achilles' Heel proc into Arm Lash. + Why two Energy Manipulators in Stamina??

In any case... + You only have 38.3% Ranged and AoE Defense despite taking Weave. + None of your attacks are procbombed and the attacks that HAVE procs in them have inconsistent boosting (and as a result most are overslotted for recharge - as a rule of thumb, when 5-slotting a Purple set ignore the Dam/Rech and only +5 the Dam and Dam/End!) + Not sure why you're taking Crab Spider Armor AND Wolf Spider Armor on a Crabber that has Fortification? The additional Mez protection it grants is negligible and you're giving up a prime opportunity for a LoTG +7.5% Rech and substantial +Ranged Def in "Combat Training: Defensive". I'd suggest these tweaks:Arachnos Soldier (Crab Spider Soldier - Crabbermind v2).mbd I still think putting an Apocalypse set in Channelgun is a waste TBH - it has a low base DPA and its proc rate is poor. If you're going to lean into Channelgun and use it as a main attack then fair enough - but in that case don't +5 the Acc/Dam/Rech or Acc/Rech and throw another Lady Grey in it. However if you think you might be able to forgo spamming it, I'd definitely rip out the Apoc in favour of your Spiders Bite IOs, which would free up two enhancement slots and let you go for something like this instead: Arachnos Soldier (Crab Spider Soldier - Crabbermind v3).mbd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take both as well but I tend to focus on DEF/RES on my crabbers, and those are great spots to put things like impervium armor: psionic resistance to plug any psi holes you have, or 3 piece unbreakable guard for energy/negative resistance, plus other uniques. I take RoP as well for the same reason, that and its nice to have a panic button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a power to use as a single-slot mule for a useful Global/Unique when you're really starved for Enhancement slots? Sure, I can see that. I've done it myself in RoP and Stealth/Hover. But picking up Wolf Spider Armor just to house an "Impervious Skin Status Resist/Regen" isn't something I'd recommend - particularly if taking Combat Training: Defensive instead would (i) Softcap my Ranged defense and (ii) Give me an opportunity for an extra 7.5% Global Recharge that I could then use to properly Procbomb one of my attacks whilst keeping my pet summons perma. Strangely enough, I think a +Psi Resistance Soldier is the one Soldier build I don't currently have anywhere! (Now my Widows/Fortunas on the other hand...)
