Going for a dark archer martial arts that has some dark magic skills here. Mostly want a fun somewhat survivable toon that can AOE from range and get in close once in awhile to mix it up.  Here is the somewhat low budget build I came up with. Any suggestions or feedback? Trying to keep it mostly free of the 25 mil per IO's.  Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 2.22 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

Hi guys, 

 

i am looking for the same thing and am wondering, if this is a decent build? 

 

I can't import it into mids for some reason, clicking on DataLink doesnt do anything.

@Zergor, @Radeonkind of hard to know where to start. I see the posts been a few days with no replies, i'd expect @Zectto have popped on with a full page of why it needs a rework or @Nemuor @fUBARto have posted something. I see a blaster build with 6 pieces of sting of the manticore and aimed shot and fistful of arrows 1 slotted, 6 pieces of sciroccos dervish and 3 slotted hasten and i move on to another post usually. It would take me too long to go into it so i will just pop something on and hopefully it will get ripped up and replaced with something better. 40%'ish ranged and 40% s/l defence needs a t4 barrier at 50 but its not a combo i'm familiar with. Powers in no particular order:

I prefer a good mix of single target attacks and AoEs for combinations that support it. While AoE is desirable you still need single target. The build is pretty lacking in the ST department.

 

Aside from that, the build suffers from a lack of focus as many other builds do. It's just a collection of different 6 piece sets with no cohesive focus on any specific set bonuses. Having a full set in a power doesn't always mean it's the best slotting and can waste slots which can otherwise be allocated to other powers to achieve meaningful set bonuses/procs.

 

In terms of build philosophy there are a few camps based on the outcome you want:

 

1 - pure damage, rely on teams for support.

2 - survival first

3 - middle of the road between 1 and 2, with just enough survival so that you don't die when something blinks at you

 

1 tends to favor recharge/maybe procs.

2 favors defense bonuses such as range defense or typed defenses and shoot for softcap, some would go as far as capping S/L resistance at the cost of neutering their offense even more.

3 shoots for 32.5% ish defense and the rest into recharge/offensive slotting. The idea is one small luck will put you at softcap. This method opens the build up more for more offensive slotting.

 

Most people settle on 2 and 3. 1 is for dedicated team builds/skilled players and I find most players want to be a little more self sufficient than what that build path offers.

 

The original posted build is not a cohesive build, but the game is easy enough that I imagine it's still a playable build. If you want a good build however, first define your goals and expected outcomes.

Thank you @Meknomancer and @Nemu

 

You are right, this (option 3) would be my preference when it comes to desired results. I love playing in teams, but i would like to be able to survive on my own.
