Help with my Knights of the Zodiac

andondarkmoreandondarkmore Posts: 671 Arc User
edited September 2015 in Builds and Roles
I have waited 3 months to find a Zodiac themed SG. I was unable to do so; so I made my own. Once I did that (An the others left the SG after creation) I could not stop. I created one character for each of the 12 signs.

I will slowly post my characters here and I am looking for ways to fix up the characters (builds and/or costumes)

Please state what character you are commenting on. Thank you.

PS: If you see a build close to an already posted build and i do not mention the creator. Please let me know. Character concepts and costumes came from years of reading the forums.

All character are PVE and will be mission/alert/rampage/lair bound.

    CANCER_The Crab

    This is (or will be) a DPS Dual Claw build. (Level 26 ATM). I originally used the pincer hands to hide the claws but with imaginary weapons I no longer have to worry.

    Build at the moment. Going for DPS and survivable without REGEN (I have a Regen. claw character).

    I know it is one point but does Freezer Burn on Icicle Spear proc enough allow me to drop a fire power?

    VIRGO_The Maiden
    When I wanted to create a character for the Virgo sign, I needed a concept and build. When I saw Bluegrassbeast build forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/discussion/comment/2020012/#Comment_2020012 ; a background and concept popped into my head. and Virgo was created. I will admit to using his build (Thank you for posting it) but I added Psionic Accelerator, VIPER Brain-Scrambler and Psionic Echoes for some more Psionic powers.

    No reflection on the original creator of the build but as above; Any suggestions and comments on equipment and build are welcome. (Asking permission from original poster if I can post build here)

    SAGITTARIUS_The Archer

    As you can tell. This is my Archery character (Level 16 ATM). Looking for DPS. (I have another that will be more support)

    Should I post the partial build?

    (I am not looking for a build just help when I post it)

    Taurus' build looks decent overall for Might. It may be tougher tanking w/o CripC/CS advs on some powers (ofc, that's also a bit of a double-edged sword if ur dpsing instead, so its up to ur own priorities). The build also doesn't really have AoE, aside from UR on a longer cd.

    If ur going for Justice gear, then the full set is nice for Wardicator builds, but even taking just the 2-set for the +25 SS boost is nice. Avoid the dodge/avoid gear and ur mostly gtg, though you'll prob want some crit% and/or severity (or a DUC) for some extra dps in the offensive slot. I'd also gear a bit of End so you energy-cap less when using Defiance.

    Really nice Concept! I'm looking forward to see then rest of the Zodiac Members as well!
    Are there any devices that simulate Might attacks?

    Yes, there are two Bloodmon Devices, both are great for crowd control
    1. Fists of Compliance: Basically it's Shockwave, but knocks the enemies to YOU
    2. Center of Gravity: Basically Havoc Stomp, but instead of knocking away the enemies, it knock them all the enemies to YOU!
    Both are really useful for Melee builds but the long cooldown
    I really wish Shockwave and Havoc Stomp had KNOCK TO ADVs >_>

    There is also Omicron Induced Strength, from the Legacy device, which is basically Hurl but with Nailed to the Ground attached to it!
    Its nice to have​​

    Should I post partial builds or wait till level 40?

    Nice costumes thus far! Impressive mix of stuff here.

    As far as posting partial builds: that's up to you. Do ya want them reviewed in that state, or maybe more like what they could_would be at max level?

    AQUARIUS_The Water Bearer

    With the title of Water Bearer (And lack of a Water Power-set) I am looking for powers that look like generating and manipulating water.(Level 17 ATM)

    I personaly Use WIND ATTACKS for my Water Mage, they make a really nice Substitute (I'm Silver with FF Slots, I cannot change the Colour of attacks)

    You can use
    • Force
    • Wind
    • Telepathy
    • Telekinesis
    • Sorcery
    • Celestial
    Colour them Blue, and you can easily pass them in a Water Mage concept​​

    Added what I am currently using for Cancer and Scorpio.
  • flowcytoflowcyto Posts: 12,740 Arc User
    edited September 2015
    Cancer: Ya got the basics of a claw build already. Defiance is fine for solo, though in groups w/o CripC/CS ya may have issues getting aggro to be hit reliably. You'll def want to decide on a good AoE power if ur grinding w/ it, and if ur using Invis weapons ya could try Sword Cyclone or EotS w/ it.

    I'd also prob consider some End gearing if ur using Defiance. Wardicator would be stronger overall for specs than using Brawler, unless ya take Setup in Brawler and alternate between the combo and DC (vs. just spamming DC w/ shredded up).


    Scorpio: The build looks mostly fine thus far, though you'll want to be using ur heal cds pretty often to keep MSA rolling (if ya choose that over Supernatural Power- which is easier to use for supernatural builds). If ya want more dps, then Firesnake is the cd to consider.

    Also, I wouldn't bother w/ the dodge/avoid options in Dex PSS; Deadly Aim and Expose Weakness are the best parts of the main tree; w/o taking them ur prob better off w/ CON or STR PSS if ya want more survival vs. more dps.


    Gemini: To imitate the Arcane ritual, I think its three main powers look like Eye Beams, Force Eruption, and Beatdown. Not a great mix for a FF build in practice, but if ur going for theme over practicality..


    Virgo: Its a decent build for the odd mix of Might and TP w/ some utility and CC. If its for PvE, then ya won't have much use for Trauma from Haymaker- unless ya really hate Ao'Quephoth. I'm not sure if ur main ST attack is going to be Haymaker or Ego Blast taps, though I'd guess the latter.

    Not entirely but you can

    Force and Wind deal Crushing Damage (with the occasional ICE part of Wind, AKA Typhoon)
    Telepathy, Telekinesis, Sorcery and Celestial are all in the Paranormal Damage TYpe family (Ego, Magic and Dimensional) and can be combined with passive that boost it (Shadow Form, Ego Form, Seraphim)

    You can try to mix different powers as well for more interesting results!

    Protection Field and Mindful Reinforcement can be used for Defensive and Healing water bubble respectively​​

    Added AQUARIUS and looking to keep the powers looking-like water and working together.
  • flowcytoflowcyto Posts: 12,740 Arc User
    Leo: Looks pretty good thus far. AotB scales w/ Strength, though, so you'll proc want a STR/Con/End_Rec SS setup, gearing for some crit on the side. I'd prob consider adding Vicious Cyclone w/ Vortex adv, just so ya can rope scattered enemies in easily for Frenzy.

    Pisces: You'll want to get Ionic Reverb asap. Reverb scales w/ End, so I'd prob go for a INT/Con/End or EGO/Con/End SS setup w/ this. This will also help w/ energy reserves, as LStorm and LArc are a bit costly. You'll prob want to get some more defensive powers and/or a threat wipe to go w/ this build- it'll be very high dps, but also a bit squishy w/ the passive.

    Aries: A Might + Force build, I assume? Haymaker and/or Force Cascade would be ur best main attacks for dps here, though they both require good energy management. Force Detonation is also a good cd power, or Seismic Smash to ram into things with. Could also consider Fissure. I'd prob take MSA as an EU if ur also adding in some cd-based attacks.

    Gemini: Looks alright thus far. I'd prob add MSA in there for more energy, and also get to ranking ur main heals (Conviction, AV) soon.

    For Aqua powers- ya have many options there. I'd prob just focus on 2 powersets for simplicity.

    Here's how I'd tweak the new Aquarius build for lvl 40:

    Assuming ur re-coloring all the Fire powers blue here.

    Fireball + Conflag for AoE, Flashfre to proc TReverb, Ice Spear for single target (and long-range dps), and Rimefire for when ya have both CF and Chill on ur target and its cd is up. Gears mostly for Int and Con. Last power slot can be w/e.

    Thanks. Blue Flash Fire is sorta water like. I can live with it if it helps build and keeps character alive. (But any other suggestions)
  • flowcytoflowcyto Posts: 12,740 Arc User
    Note that I didn't go w/ Defiance in my edit, just cause I assumed you wanted to do some group content, and w/o being a formal tank you can't guarantee getting hit. If ya do want to be more defensive, then ya could use Invuln or Regen instead of AoPM as the passive, though this may lead to more energy issues and will lower ur dps a bit. Alternatively, if the build is built for soloing then Defiance is a fine passive, though again gives less dps than AoPM.

    AoPM is for using Flash Fire? Willing to move away from Defiance. My comment was Flash-fire (besides adding CF) looked more flamey that watery in my opinion and was looking for a possible alternative.

    No, AoPM is the passive, I took it here cause it boosts all stats and is good as an all-rounder passive. Flashfire was added cause it's guaranteed to put up CF so Thermal Reverb procs reliably. And if you can re-color powers then flashfire can look vapor-like, similar to a blue firesnake.

  • tenebriswolftenebriswolf Posts: 54 Arc User
    I like the idea. In fact, I tried (and failed) to motivate some of my previous SG to do something like that, so that we would all play one of the signs. Starting from SG costume as we had it, we would play around the look and colors to fit the theme. At the time, my idea was to divide the signs as such :

    FIRE
    Aries = Force
    Leo = Fire
    Sagittarius = Archery

    EARTH
    Taurus = Might
    Virgo = Unarmed
    Capricornus = Heavy Weapon

    AIR
    Gemini = Dual Blades
    Libra = Single Blade
    Aquarius = Wind

    WATER
    Cancer = Fighting Claws
    Scorpio = Infernal Supernatural
    Pisces = Ice

    There was a bit of a Saint Seiya homage in it. Unfortunately, it never happened and I only kept Libra as one of my many toons. I'm glad to see someone took up the mantle. Do you plan to add the Ophiuchus as the 13rd sign ?

    I would move R2 in Ego Surge to R2 of Iron Cyclone, and also free up another point to put Challenge on it (any spare point can be put in to rank up Athletics), since its ur spammable AoE here. If you are using the MD + BCR combo and don't mind the melee dmg penalty, then I'd consider the RR adv. I may also skip on NttG for PvE, and Bull Rush due to its KB, but those would eb mroe subjective in value.

    I would also pick Brutality instead of Overpower, Ruthless over Tenacious, and Merciless over Modified Gear and/or Rush of Battle. I would be gearing for crit rating and severity to help w/ dps/threat regardless, as you are very heavy into Offense's DR.

    Also with Cold/Fire both with powers affecting Clinging Flame and Chill, Any suggestions to help with Rimefire build (Aquarius)
  • flowcytoflowcyto Posts: 12,740 Arc User
    You don't really need extra AoEs like Fireball (when you already have Conflag) or another EF apply like Flame Prison (when you already have Firesnake) for a new Fire dps build.

    For a Fire/Ice build, I'd still prob try to utilize Ice Spear's CF adv, but you have diff options there for the mix of powers. Here's one of many ways you could mix them:

    Powers
    Level 1: Throw Fire
    Level 1: Ice Blast (Hard Frost, Frost Bite)
    Level 6: Frost Breath (Rank 2, Frost Bite)
    Level 8: Fiery Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Level 32: Rimefire Burst (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35: Fire Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 38: Aurora
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers

    Level 35:

    Specializations

    Frost Breath (and Ice Blast) can put up 3x Chilled, while the blast can be tapped to apply Hard Frost and refresh both HF and Chilled. From there, your main single-target attack is Ice Spear. Firesnake and Flashfire can help the Spear apply CF, and can apply_refresh EF. This should allow you to take adv of Rimefire's burst dps when its available. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and End/Rec.

    I know she has too many attack powers so looking for help to fix her up for event, lairs and end game content.

    Here's what I'd suggest. It's pretty close to what I run at Cosmics on my Whale character who generally does very well:

    Main differences are that my whale uses devices for AoE and focuses all powers on buffing single target dps. I also use Hydra or sometimes Strafing Run and am Ego Dex Rec. But this tougher version above might be a good place to start until you get used to the rotation and are more comfortable being squishier.

    ---From Flocyto - You don't really need extra AoEs like Fireball (when you already have Conflag) or another EF apply like Flame Prison (when you already have Firesnake) for a new Fire dps build. ---

    So for Pisces (not Aquarius) I can keep the Stats and Specs but remove a few powers.. Based on your suggestions, What would help with DPS?

    1) FIREBALL or CONFLAGRATION?
    2) FLAME PRISON or FIRE SNAKE?

    What to replace the other 2 powers with?

    Oh and thanks again.

    In general, I'd choose Conflag over Fireball and Fire Snake over Flame Prison. But I don't really understand the question. The full modified build with all replacements already made is in my post above.

    Yea, Kamo's build can work fine. For new Fire, the core attack you use ideally is Incinerate w/ CF adv, and have at least one way to apply/refresh CF and a dmg debuff like EF (its no longer UA + Conflag everywhere- though Conflag is still a fine AoE). For bosses that core should remain the same regardless of w/e else you choose to surround it with. Many other things could go in free power slots that aren't mostly redundant- like Hydra, Pyre Blades, AOs, Rimefire, a threat wipe, Strafe Run, Nanobot Swarm, Incendiary Nade w/ advs, an ult, etc.. Fire has many options to supplement its core dps with (prob more than you can jam into one build).

    Ah yeah not sure how I forgot to add the Flashfire refresh in there. Swap out Rimefire for that. Or if you don't mind using devices for your AoE, keep Rimefire and swap out Conflag for Flashfire.
