Intergalactic Heavy Weapons Warrior Build

rhymere

Uses chest beam for debuff, ultimate chest beam for buff, uses laser knight for a cool shield effect + minor defense. I dont see much damage penalty to it, HW hits like a beast. Here's the build:

Eruption w/ adv would be better for a quick CFlames than Cleave, but you can keep Cleave instead if you prefer its looks. I may also move a rank from the AO to R2 of Resurgence. Most of the rest of the build looks okay, considering the concept.

Just a note that your personal Bionic Shielding will be relatively weak and might negate efforts of healers in group content from applying a stronger form of it to you. You might go with Protection Field or Mindful Reinforcement if having a kind of forcefield is important to the concept. Or, just use Conviction (or similar) and get an aura that gives you an appropriate looking forcefield on you.

Yea, that's a good point about Bionic Shielding. It can be nice to also have the option of helping heal allies as a non-support, but then you don't want to use it if there's a Support in the group that's also using it, due to the Tampering debuff being shared and locking out their stronger version. Mindful Reinforcement can turn into a heal and function in a similar role, though I'd still usually take a normal self-heal over MR, BS, or PF as a non-support.
