Energy Blast/Energy Aura Sentinel

[smnolimits41]

I am new to Energy Aura, and could use some tips on the best way to build and slot it ??

 

Any and all help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Energy Aura is relatively straight forward. Its a *typed* defense set. You're going to eventually want to stack things like Smashing, Lethal, Fire, Cold, Negative, Toxic, and Psionic defenses. Energy is easy enough to cap following everything below... 

 

Kinetic Shield and Power Shield are both toggles. You're probably going to want 1 endurance redux in both and 3 defense. Repelling Force is a passive. So, 3 defense is all it needs. 

Kinetic Dampening is also a passive and 3 resistance will do fine. 

 

That's the basic stuff. Tools like Energize can be variable in slots depending on your other power priorities. Energize doesn't require accuracy. Same goes for Power Drain. Overload may not be needed, depends on your preference really, but doesn't require much investment. 

And that's essentially it. If you can afford both +3 defense to all IO's, then you can slot them in Kinetic Dampening. That'll get you +6 more defense. Taking things like Weave, Hover or Combat Jumping, and Maneuvers will get you near softcap defense before considering any other IO set bonuses. 

That said, there is no single way to slot all of your other powers plus Energy Aura to do... whatever it is you want to be doing. There are a lot of good set combinations and power combinations to potentially get into. You'd need to be a lot more specific for more specific tips.

Id love to make one of these but Focused Power Bolts slow animation just bothers the heck out of me.. Other than that.. Id make one of these in a heartbeat

No build on hand, but I’d suggest putting KB/KD procs into your AoEs if you can. The ST KB isn’t so bad, but I get a lot of crowd control out of juggling enemies with my AoEs.

I have an Energy/ Energy/ Leviathan Sentinel built for max recharge to dispense the max amount of Novas. Not all of the blasts have the knockback turned off, but it hasn't been a problem so far. The character feels fun and versatile.
