My question: "Is there an ability that I can use for the face slot that looks like a prehensile tongue"? I want to make it look like he can sometimes use his tongue to attack or ensnare or pull in his enemies but still go along with the theme of a poisonous frog. If not that's fine. I was just hoping there might be something. Thank you in advance.

There's an NPC ability used by fetterers (zombie apocalypse) but no PC ability that I know of.

As for the build- I guess you took Enrage for the Giant Growth adv, but none of your attacks can knock (save for Pounce, but only if done from far away enough). Also, the build doesn't have a great AoE attack, and if DE is your main single-target attack then you'll want a source of Debilitating Poison in there (prob via the Wisp). FotTempst is prob the easiest toggle/form to take for a DE build, but then you'd also have to switch to a Dex focus and drop the Giant adv. AotB could also work if you wanted the Giant adv, and if you have some bleeds and/or poisons in there.

I'd prob also axe R1 Masterful Dodge, since it won't boost your dodge past 100% anymore, and it'll share a cd w/ Resurgence now. I'd prob also drop the special advs on the travel powers, to free up some adv points, and you may want to consider a TP that grants flight. Here's an example edit of it:

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

Taps of the Lariat can help proc AotB in the background and give you another self-heal, while the Wisp can debuff for Toxic dmg and also help proc AotB. DE is your main single-target attack here, and Epidemic (or some other Supernatural AoE) can be your main AoE attack. Gears mostly for Str, with some Con and End/Rec.

Thanks Flow. That is a little disappointing Pantagruel but I guess I'll have to live with it. As far as your build goes Flow. It looks good accept for the fact that my frog is purely melee so Infernal Bolts and Epidemic are kind of out of theme. I'm wanting to have more bestial with a little poison. You see my character is a poisonous dart frog so he only poisons people when they touch him. He doesn't spread the poison everywhere. So Pestilence and Devour Essence are the only abilities that I want with the rest being from bestial. I was also thinking of getting Corrosive Pit (giving him a kind of acid spit) from the Auction House and using that with the Toxicity adv. I was only using STR for the Juggernaut specialization for survivability and I wanted DEX in the talents because he's very durable and acrobatic because of him being a frog.

Your main gear/stat focus should be on your toggle/form's stat as a dps, regardless (if it's FotTempest, that's Dex; if it's AotB or Enrage, that's Str). Also, if you want a Bestial AoE then I'd prob just take Frenzy- you can replace Epidemic w/ that just fine. I'd still keep in the Wisp to optimize DE's dmg, and regardless of theme (the Ult is fine, but it's on a longer cd). Also, the energy builder's theme shouldn't really matter too much, either way, since you shouldn't be using it much (or at all).

If you wanted a Dex-based build, then you could switch to FotTempest. For example:

The last 3 powers can be w/e ya want. Perhaps you could take Feint for another CC option. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and End/Rec. You could maybe still use Str PSS (STR/Dex/Con- still Dex focused), but Juggernaut isn't ideal for melee dps vs. Overpower, esp when using FotT and it being crit-based.

Ofc, the AotB approach is still okay here too, but then I'd add back in the Lariat w/ advs, and go back to Str PSS and Str-based talents.
