Feedback: TK Blades build...

mordray001

Hello,

So I'd been playing around with the hero builder and created a TK Blades build that fit my needs of being both killy and survivable. My toon just hit 35 and I'm just checking in as I work my way up to 40. I'm mainly looking to see how I've done and if I should change things out. She's currently running some random primaries and the armadillo secondaries, if that matters.

Its decent overall, provided you're okay w/ doing significantly less combo dmg by taking Siphoning Strikes (and less AoE dmg by taking the special advs on EBFrenzy) for the self-healing benefits. I'd prob find a way to rank up the block enhancer if you're going into harder content (maybe by axing the Accel Metab adv and one rank of the lesser-used travel power, or axe R2 of Ego Surge), but that's mostly it for tweaks I'd consider. If not taking Siphoning, I may consider something like Conviction instead.

Thanks for the feedback, Flowcyto. As expected my build isn't ideal. She's a blast though. I haven't even decided which of the travel powers are my primary, both have viable uses and depending upon the circumstances out perform each other. I also found that I'd... kind of forgot about the block enhancer... I've gotten in the habit of tanking the damage, between the healing and damage resistance aspects it takes quite a few bodies to threaten this particular toon.

These deathlords are teaching me quite a bit about the limits of this particular toon...​​
