Build Request: Full Might DPS?

summerfields · November 2016

As the title suggest, I could use a hand in building a DPS build that utilities Might with Brick, maybe? Some Fire would be good too but I'm thinking it more of maybe one ability or two? Maybe less? Although, the combo of the Uppercut + Haymaker must stay, of course.

Much thanks in advance!

This is a squishy build but I like to play on the edge as a melee DPS, Lets start with the top. As squishy as this is I went with talents to add a bit of stability to your lifespan. Dex as a primary to boost dodge chance as well as con to boost your health. Dex also boosts your critical capabilities.
In Clobber I slotted it's that time to add the disorient which will later work with specialization to increase your damage by a small bit, but at as you will have to use the energy builder anyway I thought best to give it as much chance to benefit upcoming attacks as well. Roomsweeper is there to take care of the annoying small crowds and allows a bit of a stall as you use it to re-target and mighty leap on the bigger threats with the advantage. Unstopable for the obvious MOAR DAMAGE!!! Enrage serves the same role and the ever nice optional enlarge is free so I figured why not. Then the first half of your preferred combo. At this point you would need some self healing both for soloing and running alerts, and a need which will never really go away. Mighty leap for closing the distance quickly, usually I would pick this sooner as utility but if it is an issue you can swap priority with enrage. Agressor to pull out that extra WHAM when you need it most and then just as the enemies start to survive the uppercuts you get the second half of your combo. Now you will likely start hitting things that will be able to really hurt you and in some cases one shot you so to provide that extra boost invulnerability. my thought here is more RP as I picture the guy so strong that nickels bounce off them and then I super enhance this to pullets, punches, cars. Next is another active defense which is also a heal Now I am unsure on this one as I do not know if it grants less heal over time being that regeneration is not in the build and may be swapped out for another heal. As squishy as this is it will die and it will need resurgence but this is now standard in builds. Next the ultimate which is also an attack that is there for thematic reasons. Smoke bomb because you will get attention you don't want and this is the second solution. Travel powers are unenhanced as I picture a lumbering ravaging pile of muscles, not that quick but it doesn't need to be, but Concussive escape can be dropped in Smoke Bomb to enhance travel powers as an alternative.
Specialization is dex focused with combat training enhancing your critical chance and gear utilization which will come into play in that oh so critical wardicator combo. Deadly aim makes your criticals hit harder and expose weaknesses to make all your attacks work better with the high critical design. Now I will go over the 3 lesser parts of vindicator, Merciless again further increases your critical capabilities by making them do more damage. Focused strikes allows your combo to be more effective and modified gear fills the same role as gear utilization did before. Under warden fortified gear provides the same utility as modified but on the other side of the equation. Ruthless and merciless fill the same role making your criticals more savage. Upper hand is the reason for it's that time giving a 4% boost to your damage. Now the combo, vindicator's aggressive stance and warden's best defense for the feedback loop it creates to skyrocket defense and offense most effectively. And lastly Dexterity mastery as the other 2 don't add anything to the build.
