Spamming Force Cascade dps build help - ranged role

monsterdaddy

Has anyone managed to figure out a full charge spamming FC build? Best I've managed to sustain is just over 4K dps with Ego/Int/End with all INT mods and Quarry.

An upcoming character I'm planning is EGO/CON/REC with Unstoppable in Ranged role. It uses Preemptive Strike and a cycle of Ricochet Throw (tap)>Force Cascade (full charge). With Concentration and about 300 REC, the energy is stable without a proper energy unlock. It hits around 4.5k sustained DPS on the Regen Dummy, with around 9k health (Justice/Onslaught Gear).

Maybe that gives you some ideas?

I've considered the energy return from Unstoppable but I figured the build is quite squishy. 300 REC must give back a huge amount of energy though. Thanks, I will tinker with it.

Been trying my EGO/INT/END build on Gravitar and the build can tank Gravitar for several minutes (Unbreakable, MD, Nanobot Swarm cycling) but she will always get lucky in the end. (Using an Onslaught Defender glove to build up shields but with just one target its not very helpful).

I have a build that does this. END primary for starters. SSS are EGO and INT. Damage per blast isn't as high as some other folks, but it's made up for by not running out of energy.

Im doing it in support mode with Ego/Con/Pre and concentration toggle. Selphea's survivable DPS guide was my inspiration: http://www.fulldive.nu/2014/03/12/how-to-build-survivable-dps-for-gravitar/

Plenty of energy from support mode and your self-heals are insanely good. Ego and good stats provide the DPS​​
