There's little in that build to go on atm. What type of attacks do you want this character using, and/or what would you say is their general theme? Also, CON/Int/Ego is a bit of a weird SS setup to start with- esp if its not going to be a proper tank.

luumina

hmmm.. well I was thinking of adding a kick or two. I have no plans on tanking. Lately I've been sticking with constitution because I always feel squishy with ranged abilities. Regeneration is awesome, definitely a keeper. Should I pick up concentration? In away The Myst is the female version of Reptile from Mortal Kombat.

I would also like some knockdown powers, or powers that will help keep my enemies at a distance.

I wonder if darkness powers would be another good fit, such as Grasping Shadows?

You can increase your survival w/o needing to take the extra dps hit w/ Con PSS (you're already taking the hybrid-dps approach w/ Regen as is). Anyways, is this character meant to only be ranged? I'd figure MK-inspired characters would have at least some melee attacks as well, but it'd be more cohesive in CO to just make the build purely ranged. As far as Darkness being a good fit- thematically, its is your call to make. In terms of mechanics, if the backdrop are Infernal SN powers then its generally easier to stay w/in that powerset, but its up to you on what powers you think would fit the character.

Hey Flow, I've been trying to post a thread or send you a message but I have probationary period going on here where I can't post links or threads... so I was wondering.. is it possible to make a Scorpion from Mortal Kombat build?

luumina

fire and chains fits the character, their should be a pull chain attack, basically your get over here power.

Well, here's a mix of some Fire w/ Unarmed:

Iron Lariat is a chain pull that conveniently can put up CFlames on tap, so you'll want to weave it in to your normal rotation. Charged Pyre can also leave a fire patch for CFLames and is a wide pbAoE, while Inex Tides is a thematic melee pbAoE that can also be tapped to refresh Demolish. For single-targets, put up Demolish w/ TKicks, put up CFlames w/ tapped Iron Lariat, then spam charged DUppercut while tapping Tides and the Lariat to refresh debuffs. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and End.
