2 Fully Completed Builds

circleofpsi

Hi

Just need 2 builds checking out, they are fully built and ready for action, just need ten-four on if they are decent. (I should've stayed in the PH, but I still got tokens)


"Stoic Strand Build"

Based of the upcoming "Strand" powers (Green!) I've changed my old TK Blades to TK Ranged. I have the basic TK set up: (TK Strike for Stress) (TK Barrage as my main AoE/DPS) (TK Lance for my Single Target DPS) (Shards for Refresh & Mental Leech for quick spam DoT/W Heal.)

(Resruge/Convi and the basic EU/Form for TK) (Mental Impact as Ult, will sort gear for Rec/Cost Discount)


No, you don't see Mind Control in the build, it's just your imagination

"Psion Pandemonium Build"


This is the TK Version of the build above, however rather then Dex/Con/Rec I went for Dex/Ego/Rec (My con is good as it is). Also wanted to see how much DPS I can get out of Ego/Dex (Seems quite good!).


Note: Force Geyser is the new "Pull" from the Focus Update

Additional Notes:




Now I do have a small qeastion, I am working on a 3rd build, but I am trying to go for a Tank Build (But still can dish out damage). I am not sure what powerset I go for yet, but I have tested both Defiance & Invulnerability and for the most part I do enjoy Defiance the best. I may go for Might (without the knock backs) for this build but I'm not sure, I am welcome for any suggestions.


The Tank build is mostly inspired by Styanax (From WF) but I am open to anything.

No, you don't see Mind Control in the build, it's just your imagination

I must have a really potent imagination then. At least you could put R3 in that imaginary power towards R2 Resurgence. Otherwise, the first build looks mostly okay, though keep in mind that you can't use Mental Leech at long range.

The 2nd build also looks okay, though I don't think that you'll need R3 in Force Geyser, if keeping it (could rank up Resurgence instead). Also, Guardian spec doesn't make much sense here since it's mostly a melee build. I assume that you want Warden or Brawler specs instead.

I don't really know the reference for the 3rd build, but you can make a Might build that doesn't use Haymaker (though Haymaker is still its best boss killer, and won't KB most bosses), if desired. Uppercut is a decent substitute that knocks up instead of back, and maybe you can go w/ Wardicator specs if you want to deal a bit more dmg as a Tank. For example:

The open power slots can be w/e.

Shockwave can be your main & wide AoE (that also pulls enemies in), while Defense Combo can cleave nearby enemies and also be used to turtle up w/ its dmg shield. For single-targets, you can charge Demolish to manage its debuff, and use charged Uppercut as your main attack. Gears mostly for Con, w/ some Str and Rec.

Ah I will correct that issue with the Guardian spec, the Force Power is one of the new ones but I may drop a rank out of it for R2 Resurgence.

If the First Build doesn't play nice, I'll stitch back to Melee TK (As for some reason I feel it's very strong over TK Range) and with Dex/Ego/Rec it feels even stronger.


With that being said tho, I assume that it'll always be best to stick with Dex as PSS (over Ego) for TK Melee despite that Ego Blades does stack off from Ego?.

This is the build I went for: Kept in pretty much everything you've placed in the build and put in Haymaker for the solo reason of being a Boss (Single Target Damage).

Mighty Leap for the Lunge & Call to Battle for the Reckless Buff. I did remove Shockwave in favor for Singularity Bomb/w R3 for the (Knockback & AoE) but I may go back to Shockwave, if it's largely better. (I may only go for R2 to spare other ranks)

Very last power is a Self-Rez, but I can go with anything for that, I may go for Lance Rain for sort of Theme Wise (Calling down Spears of Death) but the issue with this power is that it won't scale from anything, it'll still be strong for AoE but it'll be low DPS compared to my other powers.

Something like this would do much more damage. After all, no real reason to take a bunch of tank stuff that just reduces your damage if your goal is to dps. 99% of game content is so easy that you should be able melt most leveling and alert bad guys with no issues.

flowcyto

Oh, I misread that you meant Force Geyser to be Singularity Bomb in the TK Blade build. My bad, but you can still lose a rank in it to free up points, if needed. R2 of Ego Surge is another option that you can axe if you want more free points (its special adv is still okay to have when you use Ego Surge at max ELeech stacks, and for the crit boost).

As usual, the innate Str_Ego scaling to melee_ranged has a minor impact on dmg for dps builds, since it's on the general dmg DR and its own scaling drastically falls off after a stat value of 70. You can still SS Ego here as a minor optimization, but it's also not that important overall. The main reason to get Dex here is because your toggle/form scales w/ it (Dex PSS's spec tree and Dex as a stat also happen to be strong picks for dps overall).

-

Anyways, it seems like you aren't making a proper tank build w/ your edit of my Might one, since you dropped the Challenge advs (and you need to reliably hold aggro to be a Tank in group content). You could instead change it to either a normal dps build (like Jaaz's), or a hybrid-dps build (or just make a dual-passive build that can swap), but it ultimately depends on what content you're planning on doing w/ the build and what role you want to play w/ it overall. Hybrid-dps builds that use defensive passives (but aren't proper Tank builds) can be very sturdy compared to normal dps builds, but they also lose a considerable amount of base dmg for that privilege, and in easier content it's generally better to have more dmg than more survival-related bonuses.

Ah, right I was about to ask about this but I forgot I assumed that I'd need to put in Challenge advs but wasn't sure, I can def drop in the Advs, but how many do I need tho, as it says I can not stack it or re-fresh it. I may still stick with the Tank given I've always gone for DPS like build with that being said.



But looking at the DPS version of my build, it is a decent build as well, so I'll toy with both and see what I like best.

circleofpsi

So I ended up falling in love with the DPS version of this build and I do really need to stray away from only have TK Builds ^_^ (even if it's superiors to everything else)


I still have some Tanking inside, with Reckless and high Con (and on top of my Endor Rush & Resruge) so this is good enough for me, so thanks to Jaaz's as well for his/her build and you as well Flow for the Tank Build.

I got one point left, not sure where to shove it, I can remove a Rank from Resruge as it will be over healing and place it into my Lunge for the Stun/Adv but so far build is fine.

I'm also thinking on ditching Singularity Bomb in favor for Burning Chi Fist/w Adv as it's got a lower cost and is Melee aimed. (and no cooldown) I do lose the energy gain from it, but it shouldn't be a issue.

flowcyto

Yea, BCF w/ its RF adv can work fine as a replacement power for the AoE pull-in. It's a bit redundant to have Reckless coming from both the lunge and Call to Battle, though. I'd prob just replace Call to Battle w/ something else, assuming you can just use the lunge to roll at least one stack of Reckless for Haymaker's adv. R3 in Resurgence could also just go to R2 of Demolish (and Demolish w/ its knock adv can work against trash that you don't want to KB w/ Haymaker, until they become knock-immune at least). Also, a single leftover adv point can go toward the other travel power or an Accel Metab adv, if there's nothing else.

circleofpsi

This is what I ended up going with:

BCF/w RF for the AoE/Pull and it's decent so I can keep spamming it. I have also dropped R3 in Resruge and placed it into Call To Battle for both it's Advs (Heal & Knockdown).

I've stuck with CtB as I can always porc both Reckless & Pulverizer with it and I've noticed that it has a new Adv (Never seen it before) that allows me to reduce the cooldown each time I use any Might Power, so I can up-keep Reckless & Pulver pretty well and on top of my Defensive Combo I can protect myself quite decently.


And that's that

Dual passive possibility. Allows you to get rid of various defensive powers and advantages that you would no longer need because you can just use an Invuln build instead. Give Vicious Descent a try (esp. if you have invisible weapons); very nice leap and the CD isn't really an issue.

So gonna go ahead and reopen this topic with another set of builds, rather then making yet (another topic)


So after playtesting the Might Build, I've noticed that it's alot more stronger in terms of my old TK Build: https://aesica.net/co/herocreator.htm?v=38&n=&d=12370wGKPLQa1S01R0F100F209FA07FE03LC04G5003203FP05G300K503ON03FB04FG00FW030mTO3Aub2MGB40G00000000&e=


Now of course that is due to the shield that both Reckless & Defensive Combo gives me, on top of the healing from Endorphin Rush. So I'm thinking to improve my TK build with the following powers and changes:

I've removed the DoT Powers as they were really not adding much to the build and I've replaced them in favor for Call To Battle & Endorphin Rush. I'll be unable to get the benefit from the Adv: "Advance!" as I don't have a Might Power (Tho I can go for Mighty Leap, rather then Void Shift with Reckless)


I've also put in BCF for a non cooldown version for my Pull, as I found it not being on a Cooldown really does help. I have also saved enough points for a Rank in Resruge and I have ditched my Ult as it was not doing much. (I chuold go for Mental Impact, but this will mean I'll need to get Cooldown Gear or change to Ego/Dex/Rec).

Lastly, I ended up going for Ego Blade Frenzy/w Adv to keep me a bit more protected, as while the shield isn't great, it still nice in a pinch. (I tended to avoid this power, as I always relied on my Combo, but think this may be the best choice)


Now while It's been stated that most DPS focus on Dex PSS, rather then Ego, I may just stick with the specs/SS and such I have now, rather changing to Ego, as I do not know how much extra DPS Ego gives me.

Also here is another build I've been working on: It's a mostly all Dual Blade only build with some minor other powers:


I've gone for BCF in this build as well for the Pull and I've put in Particle Smash for the quick AoE/w Heal & Stun when they are pulled to me. Endo Rush for my Heal and Laughing Zep for my TW. (Tho I may ditch this in favor for a Self-Rez)

I may also decide to get Eye of the Storm rather then Particle Smash for the AoE attack up close that I pull (this may be a better choice).

Now I do have Strg/Dex/Rec that is fine, but will I make do with just Dex/Rec/Con? As I am wonder if this is the same story as "Ego" matter I talked about in the other build (As in, will it make a differ?)

Call to Battle doesn't make much sense for a TK Blade build (it's already kinda iffy in Might builds, since other powers can supply Reckless, unless you like buffing teammates). I'd prob get rid of that power in that build. Anyways, you don't really need Ego SS'd in a TK Blade build; assuming you are using Mental Disc as the toggle/form then your most important dps stat is still Dex. Also, although BCF's RF adv can work okay, you already have an TK-based AoE pull-in option w/ TK Wave + adv, and unlike BCF it can work w/ your toggle/form and EU.

BCF w/ adv makes more sense for the 2nd build, since it's MA-based, so you could more easily keep it there. EotS is a versatile pbAoE, if you also want a potentially strong defensive option, but you don't have to take it either to have enough sustain (by that measure, you don't really need Particle Smash either, though). Also, if you're using Laughing Zephyr as a threat wipe, then I'd prob axe its Stim Pack adv and get R2 of Resurgence. The threat wipe adv puts the power on a notably longer cd, which diminish the use of it's self-heal adv. I'd also prob take R3 in Blade Tempest, instead of its special adv.

I am a bit worried that you won't have enough energy generation to manage DW spam in the Dual Blades build. I'd prob add another Dragon power that can give you the Rush adv (can be from any other MA tree), to help w/ energy (or just get the Rush adv on DW if you really don't want to make the room; it'll lower DW's base dmg a bit, but you won't have to axe another power slot). You may also want to consider using Vindicator spec when taking FotTempest and Steadfast (instead of Warden or Brawler spec), to help w/ general attack crit rates.

Now I do have Strg/Dex/Rec that is fine, but will I make do with just Dex/Rec/Con? As I am wonder if this is the same story as "Ego" matter I talked about in the other build (As in, will it make a differ?)

Yea, similar thing. STR/Dex/Con_Rec can work well, but you don't need Str SS'd for an MA build that uses a Dex-based toggle/form either.

I'll stick to Dex as my PSS then and I'll switch BCF to TK Wave, I'd assume it'll be better to tap rather then hold as TK does have a fairly long hold duration. As for Call to Battle I do enjoy buffing my teammates, but I'll toy around with the power as in my Might build it feels pretty nice.


I've also swapped around some of my specs a bit to be more on the DPS side and swaped Fortified Gear from Slaughter as it'll be nice to have a bit more protection, with Reckless being on my Lunge I think it'll still be worth getting TK Frenzy for the shield. As for the ult if I can get it to work with my build I'll stick it in but I'll have to drop a Rank in resruge. (Just not sure what Ult to go for for the melee build as Mental Impact costs alot)

If not I'll stick to having a Self-rez and maybe Ego Surge for that extra DPS. Regardless here is the build:

I also swapped to Vindicator spec to help w/ general attack crit rates as you said.

Gonna post the last build: My apologizes if this a bit much, but I rather not open topic after topic for builds that I am touching up, rather then brand new ones.


This is a entire rework of the first TK Ranged build I had in the original topic and my goal here is to get as -much- possible DPS out this build, but still be able to live being attacked. (Ofc this boils down to Gear, I got that sorted). No Mind Control, No DoT powers, all focused on DPS based powers

As stated in the other builds I stuck with Dex as my PSS, but for this build's sake, I went for Ego/Rec to improve my Ranged Damage (Ego PSS is nice for cost, but Dex is clearly better)


TK Strike /w Adv for Stress, TK Barrage R3 for Ads/Mobs, TK Lance for Single Target Damage (and Bosses) TK Maelstrom for the PBAoE and Stun. And Mental Impact for Big DPS on Bosses. (My Gear and Ego -should- be enough for it's cost, if Ults are even worth it)

For the last two powers I'm not too sure what to get. Someone did mention that getting TK Shards for refresh is ideal for a build like this, but not sure and a self-rez is always great to have.

I went for Endo Rush again for this build as Healing via Damage for a build like this should give me plenty of HP. I am also thinking whenever or not I want to get Mindful Reinforcement for the extra heal and protection.

Let me know and thanks for helping me and putting up with my BS

I'd prob get Ego Blade Pandemonium for the Ult in the TK Blades build, if you have it. Otherwise, yea, you can just take Ego Surge w/ the NM adv. There's merits to either tapping or charging (or partial-charging) TK Wave, so use it as you like there.

For the 2nd build, I'm not sure what you mean when you said that you got FotS (Form of the Swordsman? That wouldn't be a good toggle/form for a DB build; FotTempest is fine as long as you have Rush to help w/ energy), but Dragon Kick is okay for Rush. You also didn't update the specs for Vindicator, but that's prob just an oversight.

For the 3rd build: Ego doesn't give cost discount innately, but you can always get cost discount on gear (generally recommended for builds using Dex PSS). Another SS option is EGO/Dex/Rec_Con (still w/ a Dex focus) if you want more cost discount, but Dex PSS is good too, ofc. You shouldn't need to have a power that refreshes ELeech for such a build, but you could take TK Shards for its self-heal adv and KD, if desired. I may also get Resurgence to R2, and the block to R3, and get 3/3 in Focused Strikes in Vind spec. ERush is an okay small heal (if you want one), but you could also consider Conviction for builds that have good crit rates. Ego Surge w/ NM is another option to add here, as is a threat wipe and/or self-rez, but it's up to you on what else you want to include.

I do have it, but I think it might be a bit bugged at times (or so I think it is) as it odd times I tend have the power not work and just go right into cooldown. But I might be doing something wrong, but I'll grab that Ult. It isn't as strong as I'd like but still something.

Uh no, my bad there I just realized my mistake in the text, No what I was originally planning was getting EotS (Eye of the Storm) for the build like the 1st build with Ego Fenz. I must of replaced the E with a F by mistake there. But I ditched EotS for Dragon Kick for the Dragon Rush and yes just a oversight on my side, I must of not updated that while doing the powers, but it is there.

Alright then thanks for the Information, I always was juggling with DEX/Ego/Rec or EGO/Dex/Rec but still a focus in Dex as always, I'll see what is mostly needed, cuz ofc the Specs give me different things but more Ranged Damage in general whuold be nice

Ah, I see. Well, putting in a Dragon attack w/ Rush is good, either way. Good luck w/ the builds.

3rd Build: I ended up going for a Threat Wipe but I was thinking to go for Convi on top of Endo Rush for that extra healing (Endo for general Healing and Convi of that burst of healing, if I am in a pickle)

Not sure if I'll have to shave off a rank in Resruge or my Shield for such (or if it'll best to go R2/R2 in Endo and Convi or remove the Adv or R2 in TK Maelstorm) but either way this is the build.

P.S: Quick qeastion, does "Thought Sever" do anything against NPCs or is this a PvP thing?

It's more of a pvp thing, yea, You can ignore it here.

Anyways, the final builds all look mostly fine. You prob don't need both ERush and Conviction in addition to Resurgence (many players can just get by w/ Resurgence and health pack devices), but ymmv when it comes to getting sufficient healing for a build.

Ah I see, I had a feeling it was a PvP thing and Thank you very much for the help as always!

circleofpsi

P.S: I did end up going with both ERush and Conviction for the extra heal as it's always nice to have, but will it be ideal to Axe a Rank in my Shield or Resruge to make it R3 (rather then R2)


Edit: I can always Axe the TP Rank in my Flight as I don't use that in combat (I use the device) and I can use a Vehicle to get around quickly, but I don't think Axing my TP is ideal.


Never mind I ended up dropping a Rank in Resruge as it does plenty on it's own and on top of my already healing and dropped the R2 in TK Mael as I am only useing it for the Stun and Leech (Tapping)

circleofpsi

Not gonna post the build as it's pretty much the excat same as my Might Build but with swapped powers (Void Shift/TK Shield and Fiery Embrace)

But I need to ask:


1. Rebirth: It seems to Heal and give you pretty much "God Mode" for 20 secs but leeches your HP, what's up with that?
2. Psioinc Vortex vs Mental Leech: As this build is a Might & Psion mix, I'm debating whenever or not what will be more useful, the Stun/AoE damage or the DoT/Heal.

And lastly: I've got Nim-Force for extra layer of protection and Lament for my AoE Pull (rather then putting it into a power slot) and then Psi Accl for quick burst damage. I assume devices have Zero interaction with your specs/tels/SS?

Slot 1: Nimbus of Force
Slot 2: Coward's Lament
Slot 3: Psionic Accelerator
Slot 4: Loyal Sidekick: Cultros
Slot 5: Vehicle Stub

Rebirth will deal your maxHP in dmg as a DoT on you, so it's generally not the best self-rez to get (unless you have strong self-healing). MLeech vs. Psychic Vortex w/ adv is just up to you. I may take ML for the extra healing, and since you have the Psi Accel device that can already provide some AoE CC. And yea, many devices can scale w/ your stats, though not all of them (like many device pets can't, though they can receive auras). You can always check their tooltips to see if their values change w/ your stats/gear.
