PA Growth build

PA Growth build? Possible or not??

flowcyto · December 2016

You mean w/ Enrage or AotB and the Giant Growth adv? Can be possible w/ Enrage, since some PA powers can knock (Chest Beam, Rocket Punch, Hand Cannon, Shoulder Launcher, Energy Wave). Energy may still be a hang-up though. What attacks did you want to use?

ultrashoc · December 2016

The powers you mentioned and also mini drive if it will gel together. And yes, energy would be an issue lol. Just seeing if a build would be possible.

Other problem is that the slotted PA toggles that can knock do have high tier reqs. I'll give ya 2 builds- one using the PA toggle playstyle and the other not:

Non-toggle PA + Enrage:

(Unnamed Build) - Freeform

Super Stats
Level 6: Strength (Primary)
Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary)
Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

Specializations
Strength: Swole (3/3)

Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
Vindicator: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

Rocket Punch and Chest Beam are a bit costly, and AoPM can help reduce cds a bit- it or AoAC are prob good passives for this. Stuck Geyser in there so you can quickly and cheaply proc MSA and Enrage at any range. Gears mostly for the 3 SS's listed.

This is not an early leveling build, ofc. Also has high energy demands, so I threw in CoAP to help along with that. Chest Beam is still good for its debuff and to have a non-toggle attack to use. Gears mostly for the 3 SS's listed.

Not sure if either build is what ur looking for, but hope that helps.

Thank you Flowcyto. I will try both builds to see which will be a good fit. I appreciate your feedback.

I have a Giant Robot (Really a giant battle Mecha) character and am looking for a Mix of Ranged and Melee attacks. The concept is a Demonwing transforming battle mecha.

With the 'claws; on the mecha I will accept bestial for melee attacks.

Looking forward to your suggestions...

flowcyto · April 2017

Prob should have made a new thread for that request, rather than necro someone else's. I also assume you just mean a mix of PA w/ melee, and not necc a build w/ Enrage and Giant Growth?

andondarkmore · April 2017

I am looking to have the robot grow ( Mini Drive with adv and a toggle with giant growth adv.) Maybe another toggle so the human pilot does not grow. SO looking for combo of ranged and melee attacks.

Conc and the ranged attacks are for the pilot- Enrage and melee attacks for the mech. Some of the attacks can be used by either form, if you wish. Gears mostly for the 3 SS's listed. If playing in Hybrid role, you'll lose some dps, but you can use a defensive passive if you want to be more sturdy instead.
