Dark / Fire Themed Build.

[Soulsifter]

 Hello,

 

 I've moved to Excelsior because the server I picked a few months ago is now a ghost town. I started a new Hero today and have done DFB and Posi 1 so far. I also, right out of jump got the merits for Atlas/Echo Atlas/Echo Galaxy to get my funds going in the right direction. This was a spur of the moment character with nothing but a thematic idea. Now I've made the build, thing is, Sentinels aren't my bag, baby. It just seemed like the right AT though, so here we are 🙂

 

 Am I anywhere NEAR the ball park on this thing? If I made it to the parking lot I'd be thrilled.

• Don't skip Umbral Torrent. It's a very good cone attack and provides a ton of mitigation. It does require a KB>KD IO. You could move the Overwhelming Force set here and slot Blackstar with Obliteration.
• Consume is more valuable as a buff (+end, +hp) than an attack. I slot it with a combination of end mod and healing pieces.
• You have no knockback protection until Blackstar is 6 slotted (lvl 34 at the earliest).
• Skip Netherworld Tentacles and take Smite instead.
• Take Temperature Protection much earlier. It provides +regen and slow resistance.

Thank you kindly. I'll see about changing this up. I wasn't married to any particular part except maybe the Sorcery Pool 🙂

are you using an old/off homecoming hero builder thing?  on homecoming you can take blackstar at 26.  you can take a travel power without a pre-requisite.  on top of that you cannot use spirit ward on yourself.  cauterizing blaze is crap, not enough healing.  and i must protest about temperature protection earlier.  its regen isnt huge and its only good to hold IOs.  i always take TempProt at 44/47/49 just to hold some IOs.  because even if you exemp down you still keep the IOs slotted in it if said levels of the enhancement are acceptable to your current exemp level

 

Basically, you can take primary powers tier 7,8,9 at 18, 22 and 26.  secondary powers tier 7,8,9 at 24, 28 and 30 on homecoming.

The +absorb proc works fine in Spirit Ward.
