Fire n' Forget v6

[Linea]

Suggestions and Improvement are welcome.  There's always room to improve and be better.

 

This is a concept build, so it may be a bit strange in ways.   It is also simultaneously a standard high armor Linea build.  Overall it's pretty durable despite the apparent lack of armor compared to some of my builds.  I've been soloing and teaming KW missions +4x8. Not fast, but fairly durable.

The purpose of the build was a build that was cheap and easy to build at first, even with just SOs, then advance and improve over time.  Primarily focusing on Ranged Fire Support and ease of use.

• Cheap options and Easy to build options, even on SOs.  (although I'd probably look back toward the first builds, and alt that build for SOs)
• Armor and Durability, both for the player and the pets.
• Minimal Status Protection.
• Ranged Fire Support Emphasis.
• Incarnate Defenses.  +20 defense from the Bot Bubbles for 60 FCA defense min on myself.
• DDR: (Ageless +DDR, Dampening +DDR) with (PBU * Bubbles for 70's defenses on the bots.)
  • Clarion*PBU*Bubbles option.
• Rune as Breakfree and optional on-demand Armor.
• Demonic combined with Rune for on-demand Armor.  This however is considerably less on-demand armor than I normally load.
• -Regen Blasts, Envenomed, Degenerative
  • -Regen over -Resist.  This was a hard choice, but until I have more firepower, at least T4 Incarnate, the -regen wins and gives me personal firepower.  Teamed and/or T4 it may be beneficial to swap into the -res in Repulsion Bolt.  This latter would also be more in the style of "Fire n' Forget"
  • Degen to stack with -Regen
  • Envenomed to stack with -Regen ... This should all really stack up nicely.
• Stun Grenades to use with Bomb and Photon.  Typically Bomb, Stun, Photon ... or Stun, Bomb, Photon.  But I'm pretty durable so Bomb, Stun, Photon is probably the most effective.
• Alpha - I'm currently doing Vigor, also Tried Nerve I think it was.
• Judgement - Ranged.  Probably Fire for "Air Strike".
• Interface - Degen to stack with -regen
• Lore - I don't know.  Bots Maybe.  They are ranged and well behaved.  I'd like something maintaining theme while also optimizing damage.  Likely on the core damage branch.  I'm not really expecting to need or be likely to benefit greatly from the support branch.  But I could change my mind.
• Destiny - Ageless +DDR and Clarion +Special 
• Hybrid - I haven't chosen.  This is the kind of build where I might get more than one.
  • Armor - As ranged fire support I don't expect I'll really need this.
  • Support Core +Pet - This is most likely.
  • Damage - Sure this might be a nice burst damage for say 90 seconds, but that's it, and then you have to re-summon and start all over.  Ick.
  • Control - huh?

That's an interesting build. 

Incidentally, you might consider dropping a slot out of dispersion bubble, putting it into damping bubble, and then moving the reactive defenses +resist unique IO to damping bubble for a bit more smash / lethal resistance. You could also replace two LoTGs in dispersion bubble with shield wall equivalents (the def / end and def IOs) to get slightly more life into your build. These aren't build breaking or build enabling changes, by any means. But, sometimes marginal improvements make a difference in-game.

 

FWIW, although this is clearly a solid build either way.

I'll split the difference with you.  PvPs in Dispersion is a tiny gain, but at a cost.  I still want the resist unique earlier in the build.
