Builds built around fear

in Builds and Roles
Hi,

I am trying to re-build 2 of my fear based builds. One is Ranged Damage Role and the other functions in the Support/healer role. It seems you can build a healer based one easier with all the holds built into the power set that can proc Sentinel Mastery. What are good stats to use PSS PRE, SSS CON and Recovery or END?

The one I am kind of stumped with is a good ranged damage role for fear. PSS Ego SSS CON and Int?

Thanks

    I'm not sure what you mean, since Fear can be applied by many powers and be relatively easy to keep up in that case. I guess you want Darkness builds since the set utilizes Fear in many ways? If using Spirit Reverb, then you want Con SS'd, otherwise it just depends on the toggle/form that you're using.

    An example of a Darkness dps build, for reference:

    Ego: Sixth Sense (2/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)

    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)

    SBlast can be used to put up Devoid. Fear can be applied here in many ways, but ideally you have both Fear and Devoid rolling while using Ebon Ruin for single-target dps (SEmbrace can be the main AoE). Soul Vortex and Grasping Shadows are more accessory powers here, but have their own uses. Gears mostly for Ego, and some Con.

    Thanks. I have a lot of characters from a while back and many are geared and SS'ed for INT either as PSS or SSS. I just don't see a lot of character builds using INT unless they utilize Power Armor. Is it because gear with cool down and cost discounts have replaced a need for INT in the super stats including some of my Darkness builds.

    I was using this as a Darkness based healer...

    Int can still be a fine stat for dps, it just depends on the structure of the build and what sort of scalars are in there. Int PSS's Detect Vuln can make it a solid dps option against targets w/ resist (most things outside of already weak henchman).

    Anyways, here's a Lifedrain-based Support:

    Level 29: Ebon Void (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Redemption (Salvation)
    Level 35: Grasping Shadows (Void)
    Level 38: Rebirth
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
    Presence: Selfless Ally (2/2)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (2/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (1/2)
    Presence: Vulnerability (2/2)

    Overseer: Impact (2/2)
    Overseer: Honor (2/2)
    Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
    Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)

    Charged SBlast, Vengeance and Grasping Shadows can proc things like Sent Mastery, Wither, and possibly Trapped. Lifedrain can be the main filler heal (and attack), while Iniquity is nice to have for a standard long-range ally heal if Lifedrain isn't convenient or sufficient for that ally. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con.
