Mandalorian Inspired Build

bladedragon80

So, this is something I've been playing with during the event here. It's also slightly incomplete because I'm not sure where to add some slight melee back up in like I want to. Hope you guys and gals can help. It's inspired in part by the Mandolorian and in some by the idea of a guy who pulls weapons out of small packages or no where.

Devices

Not the best build, and a bit of a glass cannon. So far I have been using Rocket on the biggest thing there and getting Furious with it. From there, I go in with Shotgun Blast to keep Furious up and Trip Wire to start up Bleeds and Stim Pack. Then I use Flamethrower to stun as well as set them burning. Tactical Missiles is a back up puller option and "I fire wrist missiles" bit.

Primarily runs in Ranged DPS or Hybrid so far and stacking Dex.

Hope to hear back on it. Spec trees and the last two powers are what's stopping me so far.

The build has lots of AoE atm, but no good single-target power. I'd prob add AR in there, and use the Uncomp adv since you're already managing Furious anyways (or you could just use TGM, if you like that look better). Would also be nice to get a source of the AP debuff here, and/or Frail Armor at least (Holdout w/ Frail could replace Trip Wire). Not much benefit from running Hybrid role here either; I'd prob just stick to the ranged dps role (unless you make this a dual passive build). Tac Missiles also isn't adding much here, since AR and Rocket could already reach 100ft. You could weave it in via Avenger Mastery, but I don't think that'd be much of a dps boost, and you may want to get Guardian spec instead. The R1 AO is also kinda weak. I'd also use Targeting Comp as the passive, unless you really wanted Sneak.

Here's an example edit of it:

Has most of the same AoE options, but also has Holdout Shot's FA and Frag Grenade's AP to boost AR's dmg. Rocket can still provide 3x Furious, while taps of Shotgun can refresh it for AR. You could also switch to an SS setup using Con SS if you want to be less squishy, but that's up to you.

@flowcyto Wow. Thanks! Looks good. Going to give it a try. Was hoping to get a little melee in with NW in the original, but that's definitely a lot better for ranged DPS.

flowcyto

Well, you do have room to add 1-2 melee powers if you wanna get rid of, say, the threat wipe or the self-rez. I dunno what sort of melee you're looking for, though, as it's generally not gonna work well in a ranged build. Even a melee CC power is kinda redundant when you already have access to CC w/ Flamethrower and Shotgun. Maybe you could replace the block w/ Guard, Deflect, or Laser Deflection, so you pull out a melee weapon when you block at least.
