Returning Dps FF Need help with skills and powers for TA

melateto

hi all , im a returning player , and im a little lost with the changes to the skills in the last patch.
In the past i used a 2 gun mojo/fighting claws build ( i got a lot of dps with these...), but now , with the resent changes , i feel that this doest work anymore.
So changing my build seems a good choise, but i dont know what are the top dps skills now. I read that you need the most damaging skills and builds to go to TA. Normally i like to mix martial arts with other powersets. So what can i do to improve my build, or i have to change it to something different for TA . And also y want to know what powers are considered strong to be used in teleios.

Thnks for all =P

I guess to go back to the basics- do you want to be primarily melee (MA) or ranged (TGM and/or other Muni)? And do you still want to take adv of NW"s Sneak?

melateto

i prefer to be Primary melee and i find NW very usefull ( because i think i can have one ranged attack with decent damage if i use NW as passive).
But i am open to any advice.

flowcyto

Well, if ya wanna keep using Ricochet Throw to its fullest then you'll want to keep NW.

Here's a sample build using NW + RThrow, and Fighting Claws for most of the rest:

Added EotS in there too if ya wanna turtle up w/ its shield at any point, and gave ya Str PSS's Juggernaut and Wardicator to make you more hardy as a dps. Also Included both ally and self-reses; the ally one is more accessory (if ur feeling altruistic enough), though I would at least keep Rebirth for TA.

The empty middle slot should go to Steadfast (MA's new energy unlock)- though MSA could work as the EU w/ a bit of build re-tooling.

thnks alot i will try it
but i have some questions , why eye of the storm have rank 3 instead of blade beyond the veil? why there is not active offense? and do you thnk that conviction and palliate as healing skills are enought ?
also use blade tempest instead of viper fang , will i get more damage?

flowcyto

VF will do a bit more than BT, but not much more. Ur main attack after putting up Shredded (w/ either combo) is to use Dragon's Claw, so it shouldn't matter much anyways.

R3 of EotS increases its dps and the shield amount. The latter is why I took it over the BBtV adv (though that adv can do more dps if enemies are hitting you frequently). Up to you which to take.

As far as adding more healing skills and/or an AO, etc.: they're good choices, sure, but ya have to make room in the build for them by dropping a power or two. Again up to you what to prioritize.

thnks for the help
