(Laser) Sword and Sorcery build

andondarkmore

This is an old character I got to level 40 (Thank you Double XP event).

Looking to fix it up (Events/Lairs/Alerts - Maybe cosmic for when it needs Gold Recognition)

Oh. The name is based on character being an Equine Hybrid graduate of the ArcaneBlade Academy

SORRY. Wrong thread. Can this be moved to Build thread or do I have to redo post?

flowcyto

Laser Knight is good for defense, but will lower ur melee dps while Energy Shield is slotted. I'm also unsure if you'll have the energy to take advantage of Lume Slash's special adv (Soul Beam can also be a bit costly). Otherwise, the build could work if you want a separate ranged and melee set of powers in one build- though its not going to be optimal at either. The same general principle applies to mixing TK Blades and Sorc- imo that decision should come more from theme or playstyle pref since you could make either mix work.

andondarkmore

IS there a way to mix the Power armor PLAMA attacks and LS? Just rename PA attacks as spells.

flowcyto

Well, easiest to stick Chest Beam's Burn Through debuff in there for LS and call it a day. If you mean the slotted PA powers, problem w/ them is general lockouts of all other powers when using them (and high energy cost, ofc), so I'd only mix slotted PA w/ LS and/or Sorc if you clearly segregated when you wanted to use each.

andondarkmore

Updated with More PA/ LS, With Hex and Soul Beam for those that are at range.

I know most of powers are not arcane but from PA and LS, but character concept is a graduate of the arcane blade academy of blade mages.

If going Laser Knight with energy Shield will take one point from Flight.

flowcyto

I guess that could work. Normally combos aren't as high dps, but Warden and Chest Beam's debuff can help. The Sorc stuff won't proc the toggle or EU, though, nor be boosted by your passive. Also would prob pass on R3 of Resurgence- it'll more likely be over-heal. If you have energy issues you could consider End SS.

Yet another update...
End stated and AM added to most used powers.

Version 1 No Lum Strike.

Tbh if keeping the passive, toggle, and EU the way they are, then you may be better off just dropping the Sorcery attacks entirely. Some Sorcery stuff can be okay for non-dps reasons (like dps sigils for melee, pillar of poz for melee/debuffs, hex for debuffs, auras, Eld Shield, heals, Magic Dust, etc), but the Sorc stuff generally won't have much synergy w/ PA or LS frameworks.

OK. One more time..... (Crossing Fingers)

That could work better. Destruction Sigils can still do nice dmg in the right scenario, and even w/o a passive boosting them, and the Pillar can debuff and heal you a lil more.

andondarkmore

YAY. Thanks. I can now safely retcon the character.
