The Blade + Night Avenger?

summerfields

So I had yet another idea recently, of one that combines the Blade and the Night Avenger. I figured it could be fun and even tried to build one myself but could figure it out. Any build is, of course, more than welcome.

Hm, an SB build using NW and some Gadgeteering powers? That can work fine, cause NW's Sneak still boosts powers like RThrow or Throwing Blades. Here's an example build:

Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

The last 2-3 powers can be w/e ya want.

You can use charged RThrow from Sneak as an AoE opener, while Scything Blade can be your main melee AoE. For single-targets, you can just do the usual SB rotation of building to 5x bleed w/ RCaress, and Rupturing w/ REmbrace. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con (and some cost discount on gear).

STR/Dex/Rec or STR/Dex/Con (both still Dex-focused) can also work pretty well for the SS setup here.

And the goat provides once again! Much, much thanks! And yeah, some gadgets will work just fine.

Sure thing, and yea you can use the free slots to add more gadgets too, if you want (stuff like Sonic Device, Toxic Nanites, Mini Drive, Gas Pellets, Strafe Run, Mini Mines w/ the heal adv, Smoke Bomb_Grenade w/ adv, or Rez Serum, etc). Have fun out there 8)

Last 2 powers might be to add some cc abilities:
Level 35: Concussion Grenade (Stun Grenade)
Level 38: Sonic Device

A self rez can be handy too.
