The Handy Man Build

luumina

I was building a Hulk character when i noticed that i have a tool belt skin for belts. I also have a wrench skin for HW and SB and DB. So the question is, which of these sets does more damage. Or maybe you can think of a better powerset to go with. Also, this character has no super powers, he's just a regular joe.

Well, any of those three sets can be strong for melee dps. I guess you could stick w/ HW, though, since SB and DB may look a bit too agile for a 'regular joe'. Here's an example HW build:

Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

The open power slots can be w/e ya want.

Annihilate is your main single-target attack, while using Cleave to initially put up CFlames (which will boost Annihilate's dmg), and tapping Arc of Ruin to put up No Quarter (and to refresh CFlames). Cleave and charges of Arc of Ruin can also be used for AoE. Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and Rec.

alright i've tried HW, the only problem is the fire, i wish their was option where you could select if you want fire or not.

flowcyto

Well, the Fire aspect shouldn't be too visually overt here. It's not like I gave you powers that leave a fire patch or have you fling fire or anything, so hopefully it's not too much for your concept.

luumina

I apologize for all the builds. I have one more for you, than i'm gonna take a break. I appreciate all your help, you rock
