ActualSuperHero Posted Thursday at 04:15 PM Posted Thursday at 04:15 PM (edited) Howdy all. I played this game back before Going Rogue, around the time CoV came out, and I was not a gamer. Or at least, I was not a matured gamer - so I didn't ever realize there was so much you could do with enhancements. That said, I've been playing for a couple of weeks now here, and after failing fast on a couple characters (but mostly trying different powersets to see what I like) I settled on really loving me some Blasters and actually falling in love with /NinjaTraining and /MartialCombat. But I'm still struggling with a build that works because I don't really fully understand the endgame yet, either. Just to note, I did actually grind out a spines/fire brute that is now veteran level 3 - the only thing she does is fire farming and I've got some okay capital from doing about 30m-1hr of farming a day for the last two weeks or so at +4/x8. So yes, I know this stuff will hurt my influence-account, and some of these I don't even know how to get yet (blaster sets) but I wanted something to aim/save/start plugging enhs for as I level this one with my waifu. If anyone has suggestions for what I could sub out for certain sets, I'm all ears. Edit: Wanted to mention, I know it's probably going to be end-heavy. That's why I slotted 3 of the Chance for +End. Charged Bolts is a fast recharge, and with tempest slotted, I'm hoping between the procs I can keep things running smoothly. However, I anticipate that as I hit 30-40, things will get reallllly wonky and tough without taking 10 end inspirations with me, so if there's something I could do to address that, I'm all ears there too. Oh and, if you wouldn't mind - just at the top of your post, for the sake of my OCD, just give me a "(#) out of 10" or "(#)/10" so my dumb ocd brain can be satisfied. # **Hero Blaster** ### *Build plan made with Mids Reborn v3.7.14 rev. 3* Character concept: Zapninja - Static shock meets batman. Powers: Electric Blast and Ninja Training Goals: Solo/Duo PvE Content (partner being Demons/Thermal Radiation MM or Storm/Storm Corruptor) Playstyle: Find pack of mobs. Run in -> Short circuit/Ball lightning to build static. Tesla cage on LTs/Bosses. Pop smoke and Dragonfly into Thunderous Blast, then pick them off with Lightning/Charged Bolts. For single target/bosses, it's much the same - except stealth open (hopefully crit) with Dragonfly, Tesla Cage, and into Thunderous Blast then just smashing buttons. ---- - **Primary powerset: Electrical Blast** -

Troo Posted Thursday at 04:19 PM Posted Thursday at 04:19 PM (edited) Welcome back. Your build looks viable and not too expensive. It should be a great start toward relearning the game. Get playing! Goals: Solo/Duo PvE Content (partner being Demons/Thermal Radiation MM or Storm/Storm Corruptor) Reward merits may help you acquire some of the harder to get Winter and Archetype Enhancements.. (100 merits each I think) An example I have handy trades some defense for more offense. (just for reference, not an end-all-be-all) Adjusting builds as we refine our play style is to be expected and then adjusting them again as we get accolades and incarnates. <- Click to enlarge Oh and.. 25 minutes ago, ActualSuperHero said: But I'm still struggling with a build that works because I don't really fully understand the endgame yet, either. Endgame - Welcome to the game where the endgame is starting another character and leveling them up with the knowledge gained on the previous character.

Or at least, I was not a matured gamer - so I didn't ever realize there was so much you could do with enhancements. That said, I've been playing for a couple of weeks now here, and after failing fast on a couple characters (but mostly trying different powersets to see what I like) I settled on really loving me some Blasters and actually falling in love with /NinjaTraining and /MartialCombat. But I'm still struggling with a build that works because I don't really fully understand the endgame yet, either. Just to note, I did actually grind out a spines/fire brute that is now veteran level 3 - the only thing she does is fire farming and I've got some okay capital from doing about 30m-1hr of farming a day for the last two weeks or so at +4/x8. So yes, I know this stuff will hurt my influence-account, and some of these I don't even know how to get yet (blaster sets) but I wanted something to aim/save/start plugging enhs for as I level this one with my waifu. If anyone has suggestions for what I could sub out for certain sets, I'm all ears. Edit: Wanted to mention, I know it's probably going to be end-heavy. That's why I slotted 3 of the Chance for +End. Charged Bolts is a fast recharge, and with tempest slotted, I'm hoping between the procs I can keep things running smoothly. However, I anticipate that as I hit 30-40, things will get reallllly wonky and tough without taking 10 end inspirations with me, so if there's something I could do to address that, I'm all ears there too. Oh and, if you wouldn't mind - just at the top of your post, for the sake of my OCD, just give me a "(#) out of 10" or "(#)/10" so my dumb ocd brain can be satisfied. # **Hero Blaster** ### *Build plan made with Mids Reborn v3.7.14 rev. 3* Character concept: Zapninja - Static shock meets batman. Powers: Electric Blast and Ninja Training Goals: Solo/Duo PvE Content (partner being Demons/Thermal Radiation MM or Storm/Storm Corruptor) Playstyle: Find pack of mobs. Run in -> Short circuit/Ball lightning to build static. Tesla cage on LTs/Bosses. Pop smoke and Dragonfly into Thunderous Blast, then pick them off with Lightning/Charged Bolts. For single target/bosses, it's much the same - except stealth open (hopefully crit) with Dragonfly, Tesla Cage, and into Thunderous Blast then just smashing buttons. ....... Welcome back to the game!! /Ninja and /Martial are great sets and pair well with any Primary - so your combo is fine. The key thing is, if YOU are having fun, then it doesn't matter what combo / build you have. 🙂 And that can even mean... don't worry about end-game content - just have fun. Given that, certainly tweaking and refining what you have is good too. So, here are some suggestions I can offer for your build to take or leave any of them: Get rid of Victory Rush it's better in lower levels when End is harder to get so it's mostly useless in later levels and end-game - and doesn't generally help teammates as most have their end management under control or are teaming with others who provide end. But most importantly for Blasters - you have your own end management tool with Kuji-In Toh! All Blasters got their own "sustain" power and endurance should never be an issue for a blaster anymore. Given this - Kuji-In Toh: put the Absorb proc and Numi special in Health, 3 slot Kuji-in Toh with End, End/Acc, and End/Rech and call it a day. Since you have the Panacea special, you may not even need the Numina's regen/recov. (I think you'll gain 1-2 extra slots for elsewhere here.) Get rid of the Defense Debuff sets in Sting of the Wasp and Golden Dragonfly You're a Blaster - deal the damage! You're gimping yourself by not slotting for damage here. The Winter's Gift Melee Set in Golden Dragonfly is an excellent choice: 5 or 6 slot as you want for Def bonuses and use the proc even if 5 slotting. Mako's Bite in Sting of the Wasp 6 slotted is nice for ranged defense bonus - even if fighting in melee range, having high ranged defense helps against ranged attacks and especially most mezzes that will come your way. Charged Bolts - Thuderstrikes for ranged Def, or Devastations for more HPs Lightning Bolt Move the Blaster's Wrath set to Thunderstrike and have it 6 slotted. Then use the other Blaster ATO set, Defiant Barrage in Lightning Bolt and 6 slotting it for the Def bonus - you'll want the status protection proc in Lightning Bolt which can help free you earlier from mezzes since this power can be used while mezzed. Ball Lightning and Short Circuit - I'd swap sets in those powers. With the KD in Ball Lightning, you can cast at range and run into the group as it hits and knocks them down, giving you time to cast Short Circuit safely - a much safer chain. Then only 5 slot the Posi's - the 6th set bonus is not worth it. Then you can use that slot elsewhere. Charge Up You don't need all those slots in there, and you can use those slots elsewhere better. Normally, I put the Gaussian proc there, but it's better served in Tactics sine you have it. So, just a the +Perception IO or a Generic Recharge IO is fine. Zapp - I'd put the Winter's Gift Ranged set in here for the Defense bonuses instead. Fly - put the Blessing of Zephyr +4 points KB protection in there. That's all you really need for KB protection. Voltaic Sentinel - This is like free extra damage - slot it up for damage! Tesla Cage - if you can, at least 5 slot the Winter's Gift hold set in it for the Defense set bonus Choking Powder You didn't take this, but it will serve you better than Blinding Powder or Smoke Flash, as this will stack with Tesla Cage so you can hold a boss in a quick 2-hit. I'd get rid of Blinding Powder - it has lower base Acc and takes more slotting to make viable. It's a fun power, if you can devote the slots to it, but Choking Powder will serve you better, and Smoke Flash only needs 1 slot Smoke Flash - putting a damage proc in it defeats the purpose of the power. The damage will negate the placate. So I'd just put generic Recharge IO in it. (or drop it for another power.) Maneuvers - try to 4-slot it if you can. The extra defense is always good. Body Armor.... If getting rid of Victory Rush and get rid of Smoke Flash (still swapping Blinding Powder for Choking Powder) - this gives you 2 power picks.... Then take Fighting pool: Boxing/Kick and Tough. Then drop Body Armor for Mace Mastery Epic and get Scorpion Shield for more S/L/E Def (the most popular damage types). 4-slot with 3 Shield Walls or Reactive Defenses + another LotG +Global Rech Then you can slot Tough with: Steadfast Prot: Resist/+3% Def and Resist/End Gladiator's Armor (PvP): +3% Def special and Resist/End Unbreakable Guard: +Max HP and Resistance (Impervious Skin not really needed) If sticking with Body Armor, then still drop the Impervious Skin and just slot the 3 specials from Steadfast, Glad Armor, and Unbreak Guard and use the 3 slots elsewhere. The more Winter's Gift IOs for Defense set bonuses you can get, the better. But also don't sacrifice doing damage. Again, you can take or leave any of these ideas. 🙂 Having fun is more important. Forgot to add: Also put a Celerity +Stealth IO in Sprint so it can stack with Shinobi and you can be completely invisible. 🙂 Edited yesterday at 01:52 AM by Frozen Burn 1
