Superman style build

sykov

I took a lil twist with making this build. Uses fire breath as heat vision, throw fire with the head animation to look like quick burst shots of said heat vision, a HW attack (use imaginary weapons skin for it), absorb heat for healing, elbow slam as a shoulder barge, and sentinel mastery. Have fun.

It'd be nice if we had a version of Eye Beams that wasn't a slotted PA toggle, but until then I guess this is a fine improvise. The build looks okay, though Fire Breath (and defense combo) can't proc Enrage, and I'd prob find a way to rank up the block. I may also tweak some of the spec options, but that's also down to personal pref.

Well Eruption is there to trigger Thermal Reverb and Enrage. It's also an insta-click so you just need to remember to use it once and a while. Haymaker is there as well for knocks and big damage. I was also going to use Vicious Descent with imaginary weapons for another AoE knock, heal, and a superhero-style landing sort of deal. Also, yeah it sucks that CO doesn't have a non-slotted PA toggle version of eye beams, but you can go around it if you use your imagination. If I got rid of Defensive Combo, then those points would go towards block, but then the build would miss out on stacking Defiance over Invul so eh.

Not necc saying to get rid of Defense Combo- its okay cause you're already up in melee, and then weaving in Eruption and Haymakers is easier. Its more an issue for a ranged attack like Firebreath- since its a bit odd to have to pop in and out of melee to proc the toggle (would be a bit diff if it was a pbAoE, but cone AoEs don't work well up-close). You can still work around it, ofc, but its not a playstyle I'd normally advise.
