Help with a Teddy Bear Toy Build

benoitsean

I want to create a teddy bear character. A living mechanical toy that looks like a teddy bear with patches of fur missing to show the mechanical parts on the inside. I was thinking of maybe something like this:

I do want to keep all of the pets because they are all supposed to be toys that fight along side of him. I would be playing in support role. What do you all think? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any particular reason for support role? I see you have AoPM, but aside from that and IDF, I'm not seeing too much support. You might get a bit more out of PRE primary rather than CON, kill the advantages on frenzy and grab rank 3 instead, and phlebotomist advantage on devour essence. If you're married to support role, could probably build something akin to the gadgeteer AT, but with less blasters

Yea, the support-ish aspects are a bit weird, and IDF isn't a toggle/form I'd usually recommend. Would also pass on using Con PSS. You could try to make it a pet-focused build, but it'd prob be easier (and less niche) to just make it a Bestial melee dps (or hyrbid-dps) build w/ a few tech powers thrown in. For example:

I kept in the Attack Toys cause of the theme, but dropped the other pets due to the energy penalties and them not really adding that much to a dps build. For single-targets, it alternates between Shred and Massacre, and uses Frenzy as its main AoE. Could use other dps slotted passives instead (like WoTW, Unstoppable, or NW), or take the Hybrid role and something like Invuln or Regen if you want a more defensive approach (though ofc at the cost of dps). Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and End/Rec.
