Update of Pulsewave's Ms Infinity (kinda)

ventani

A desperate search to find a way to level a character I had in a fun and unique build was ended when I found this build. With the specializations this build is smooth for soloing and most alerts. Nemesis alerts you will be a trainwreck of pain for your party and groups won't like you very much except against KB immune mobs. But this build is truckloads of fun.

Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Warden: Elusive (2/2)
Warden: Tenacious (2/2)
Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
Mastery: Protector Mastery (1/1)

Specializations are up to you really. Warden 'The Best Defense' is a big part as is Revitalize from the Intelligence Tree. The build above isn't optimized for leveling as folks tend to have their own comfort zone on what needs to go where. Roomsweeper is your enrage builder early. It also provides a good chunk of mitigation because of knock back. A favorite fun time activity is to Roomsweeper, Force Snap, Force Detonation for a nice ping pong ball effect. This also caps up their KB immunity so you can finish them off with an Imbue'd RS or FD. Energy is kinda at a premium on this build so Force Sheathe helps as well as providing additional mitigation. Defensive combo is thematic to the build, but it is a perfect tanking power. Warden mastery is also a potential choice if you'd prefer more damage resistance since it will build up with Defensive Combo. With all the cool downs this build has MSA is pretty much perma on and Revitalize is ticking off the cooldown of UR, Imbue and Unbreakable to the point where Imbue and Unbreakable feel like they are always up.

Thanks to Pulsewave for the inspiration & great base build!

Nice Build! I love mixing force and might. My thought is why not CON as your primary? You can use Fuel My Fire as an energy return. Also you could swap Invul for Defiance if energy is of concern.

Also I toyed with STR as a PSS so i could use the spec that lets STR affect ranged Knocks. Good times in PVE.

Went with Int for Revitalize mainly & recharge reduction.

Easier to mix Force Sheathe with Int than replace Revitalize. Once MSA turns on, your energy becomes non-point.

Personally, I can't stand Defiance.

Like a Forrest Gump ping pong match where the other guy ends up in ICU.

FWIW I solved the knock problems by using Inexorable Tides. 3 taps of that and you can spam whatever knock powers you like afterward.

Hmm, worth dropping Void Shift ya think? I can generally build it with force snap and just hang on with Def Combo and build enrage with BYTM.

Do you know what ever happened to pulsewave? he's not coming back or something?

Uppercut spammed three times works as well (all it does is knockdown basically on tap) to build the three stacks of Knock Immunity, but is single target (but at least is in Might).

Knock problems, what knock problems? My force/might toon sends mobs flying beautifully! You can't imagine how excited my fellow team members get when I smash mobs over 100ft.
