Help Critiquing My Sports Based Toon

benoitsean

I have a character that is based around using sports weapons like baseball bats and hockey sticks (think of Casey Jones from TMNT or Sportsmaster from DC). This is the idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.

The Concussion Grenade is supposed to represent like he's throwing a baseball. I like the animation for Slash with the baseball bat weapon so I do want to keep it. Let me know what you all think. Thank you.

Well, firstly r1 MD no longer puts you past 100% dodge, and BCR comes w/ a 10% dmg penalty. Also, I'd prob use a different self-res than Rebirth, and you don't really want two combos in the build here. I'd also prob use a different PSS than Con's. Maybe also add in Particle Smash, to make it look like you're throwing a puck? Anyways, if you want to mix HW and some SB, then I may edit it like this:

For single-target dps, it uses Brawler's Setup to alternate between Slash and charged Annihilate (you can use Scything Blade if you don't want to KB trash w/ Annihilate). Scything can be the main AoE attack, and the grenade and PSmash can add some extra CC and AoE dmg. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.

Cool! Thanks Flow. I was actually debating on switching Con and Dex.

Yea, Dex PSS would be better here for a Hybrid-dps approach, and boosting your crit rate a bit more can also help w/ FotT's proc rate (to reduce the rng involved a bit). Regardless, have fun out there 8)
