Request help to update my Ranged Munitions built around the Gatling Gun

slowecsl4pwe

This build used to be a favorite, but noticed running her in Alerts and Fury of the Dragon, she can get high criticals and has high critical severity through DEX, specs and gear. But she seems fairly fragile, more so than I remember. She was built around Quarry and if she pulls too much Agro she can go down in one shot. The only thing with her is for her theme and costume, I have built it around the Gatling Gun and her Attack Toys. If I can keep those but make her a more substantial, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Well, if you want to be more survivable, you can use R3 Invuln in the Hybrid role, though that will lower your base dps considerably. Ideally for dps, though, you'd use the Ranged dps role and R3 Targeting Computer (can keep everything else the same).

Kept LT in there for the wide AoE option, though the build is still centered around Gatling Gun. Mini Mines can CC, but also be used at anytime to proc a self-heal (heal triggers on use, not on detonation). Sonic Device can also stun for a short time. CoPD in Sorcery could also be another defensive option. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec.

Thank you. I want to keep the Ranged DPS role so I'll try Targeting Computer.

flowcyto

Sure thing. Yea, TC is generally the best dps passive for Ranged Tech builds now.

slowecsl4pwe

Ok, with your help I updated to this. I wanted to keep 2 Gun Mojo and Attack Toys for theme. What is your opinion?

Eh, Attack Toys will give an energy penalty and not that much extra dps, but I suppose they're fine for the theme. TGM is a stronger single-target attack, but seems kinda out-of-place if you're mostly using Gatling. I guess you could save TGM for when enemies are in your face. I also prob wouldn't get R2 of Mini Mines; you can rank up the main travel power instead. I'd also pass on R3 of Resurgence, since it'll mostly be over-heal.

jaazaniah1

Take only R2 for Resurgence. Drop R2 for mini mines. Drop Blinding light and take Invulnerability and create a hybrid build to use that option.

flowcyto

Yea, the dual-passive route can also work, though that's assuming he's fine swapping between roles and sets to make good use of them.

slowecsl4pwe

Thanks, for ease of use, I'd stick with just the Offensive Passive, but thanks for the advice. I may try it down the road.
