Robotman (Cliff Steele) build help

brfabeiras

I've been reading the first volume of Doom Patrol lately, and I'm with this robot theme in my mind. That's what I have so far:



At the same time, I also want to tank endgame content, and I'm not sure if this setup works. For example, I'm not sure if Shockwave is a decent AoE, or if I should go with Haymaker instead of Uppercut.

@flowcyto any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't generally mix PA toggle powers w/ others (here, Recon Circuits), due to lockouts. And yea, Haymaker is generally the better power vs bosses. Shockwave isn't great dps, but does tag stuff in a wide cone pretty easily- so if its thematic then its okay to keep it. Here's an Invuln + Might tank, as an example:

Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)

Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

(not a leveling build, ofc, but you can get diff powers early on to grind with and re-train early-mid levels, if needed)

Demolish can debuff (and single-target dps trash that you don't want to knock away), while Rising Knee can refresh its debuff (and proc MSA). R1 Defiance can also work as the passive (and grant you more energy), though R3 Invuln is a fine tanking passive overall too. Gears mostly for Con, and some Str.

Thanks for the help! Recon Circuits was purely a theme choice, I can work with Conviction
