Odd Build Request: Honey Golem

benoitsean

I have an idea for a build that consists of a creature made entirely out of honey. I know, it is weird, right? Anyways, I don't know how to go about this. Because honey is very sticky, he should have a lot of holds. I do know that Shadow Embrace and Quicksand are a must in the build. I would also like to have as much passive healing as possible because of him being made completely from honey (he heals just as fast as he gets hit), so maybe Regeneration or Invulnerability with Constitution as the PSS and Dexterity as one of the SS so I can take advantage of the Adrenaline Rush in the Spec tree. Other than that, I am at a loss. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Hm, it's a weird concept indeed. But yeah, I guess Quicksand is good a centerpiece for it. Shadow Embrace will be somewhat redundant w/ Quicksand, though I guess you can make SEmbrace more about healing and/or CC. You'll also need to figure out what single-target dps power you want. Maybe go for something like Force Blast and color it amber? You can use something like Hurl to debuff for Crushing dmg too, and then MSA is an easy fit for the EU. Maybe you can also throw in something like Grasping Shadows for a hold, since you may have SEmbrace in there anyways. Here's an example build:

Specializations

Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)

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

Uses Hurl and Force Blast for single-targets (you can tap-spam the blast on trash that you don't want to KB much), while Quicksand and SEmbrace can be used for AoE, and Grasping Shadows can also be thrown in. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and Dex.

Another general possibility for the concept is to make it a Might/melee build that just punches things, though Quicksand and SEmbrace are ranged powers so they won't be as effective then.

Thanks Flow. I know it's weird lol. I come up with some strange ideas sometimes. I don't know if the Power Bolts fits the theme though. I would think Psi Lash would fit better visually but I guess you put that in there that way I can get Concentration early on.

Well, it's just the energy builder, and you should rarely (or never) be using it at higher levels anyways. But if you really wanted Psi Lash, then prob the easiest way to allow that atm is to move Force Shield into the 3rd power slot (lvl 6's) and re-order the rest of the powers accordingly (though this will delay some of the more pertinent powers a bit more, if leveling w/ it). Hope the build works out for you, regardless.

Ok Flow. Thanks.
