New to building, electric armor/Staff Fighting, need help to improve.

Praetor3 · Wednesday at 07:45 PM

Hi, new to the game, first attempt at trying to build something. I'm looking for suggestions/advice on how to improve my build.

Goals are simple be able to soak up the Damage, so any pointers to improve my defense would be apreciated, damage is secondary. (i seem to have a big hole in negative energy resist somehow, was expecting a toxic hole instead)

I havent fully figured out Mids quite yet, somehow it hasnt updated to the new toxic resistance improvements in Static shield.

My toxic resist is actually 83.75% ingame, while mids is showing 50%.

You can split the Superior Guantleted Fist into 2 sets of 3 to double up on the 6% eng/neg resist bonus if you want to close the negative hole. While you'd lose some melee defense, you're well past the 45% soft cap and can afford to lose some. Instead of doing a 6 set LotG in Weave, you can do a 6 piece Shield Wall which will get you another 3% eng/neg and still provide tox/psi resist.

You also seem to be missing the Superior Might of the Tanker set. This is important as the proc can be easily double stacked and provides 6.7% resist to all per stack along with providing more toxic/psi resist with the 5 piece bonus.

I would suggest avoiding fly/hover as you'll potentially be losing out on the KB protection from Grounded.

Power Sink stacks and provides regen for each enemy hit. Rather than slotting it for end modification, I'd suggest slotting for heal to maximize the regen boost that you get. It will add another layer to your sustainability beyond resists.

Consider doing a fresh install and delete the old one. Should fix it for you.

Here's a quick sample build with some of the above changes. The resist/def totals in picture are with 1 SMoT proc and the minimum 5% resist/defense from T4 Barrier Core after 60 seconds have passed. This is without Cardiac alpha and should open up other options to consider. Force of Will is actually a pretty useful pool set. Aside from offering another useful emergency power in Unleash Potential, it also gives Takeoff which can be used as a soft control knockdown when you have Mighty Leap toggled on (and with Power Sink and Energize, you won't really need to worry about endurance).
