Trying to combine frameworks for an 18th century hero

slowecsl4pwe

Hi,

I have a French hero who uses both the flintlock and single sword blade as her offense Le Mousquetaire Femme (The woman musketeer). I'm trying to utilize mainly the single blade but add in the flintlock for theme. I'm taking it there is no real synergy between the frameworks as one works off bleeds and there other critical munition hits. For that reason I utilize blade mostly but I'm not as familiar with the single blade powers or even the specializations I chose. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Le Mousquetaire Femme - Freeform (Melee Damage)

Well, the other issue is there not being many single pistol powers to work with. Fortunately, Holdout Shot is good for the theme, and for the self-heal and a way of putting up Open Wound. For the EU, if most of the attacks are SB, then you could use either Steadfast, Wild Thing, or Relentless. Just keep in mind the diff stats the EUs scale with (shouldn't matter too much w/ good gearing, either way).

Pistol Whip was added for more pistol powers, and to give you some CC. Does the usual SB stuff for dps, but adding Holdout into the mix. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.
