High Tech Ninja / Samurai

in Builds and Roles
I have an old character using Ego Surge with no mental powers. (let you know has not been updated for a while.)

I am looking to update the character and looking to keep with the high tech Ninja / Samurai theme. I have 3 other LASer Sword characters so not so dead set on keeping Laser Swords.

Lightspeed Strike originally Laser Sword.
Particle Wave originally Lightwave.

Like the Bionic Shielding as a high tech energy armor power. Willing to drop Chain and Ricochet power to go from ninja to Samurai concept.

    Well, if you're tired of Laser Sword, then I guess you could try DB or SB along w/ the thrown weapons? I may use Throwing Blades if using SB, since it has a bleed adv. Here's an example of a DB + Ricochet Throw + Sneak build:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Melee Damage)
    v3.42:34

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
    Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
    Level 6: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 9: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 15: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
    Level 18: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Boomerang Toss
    Level 1: Blade Tempest (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 6: Form of the Tempest
    Level 8: Night Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3, Silent Running)
    Level 11: Ricochet Throw (Rank 2, Microelectronic Controllers)
    Level 14: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 17: Steadfast
    Level 20: Dragon's Wrath (Tiger's Courage, Dragon Rush)
    Level 23: Eye of the Storm (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 29: Smoke Bomb Lunge (Nailed to the Ground)
    Level 32: Parry (Rank 2)
    Level 35:
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 32/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Combat Training (3/3)
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (2/3)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
    Dexterity: Expose Weakness (2/2)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    The open slots can be used for w/e ya want.

    Can use RThrow as a ranged opener from NW's Sneak, while you still have Blade Tempest and EotS for AoE (and the latter can also be used defensively). I also stuck DW in there for single-target dps (and Rush). Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.

    Does the usual SB thing of building bleeds and rupturing them, w/ Throwing Blades acting similar to RThrow here. Has a similar gearing setup to the DB build as well.

    Both builds prob fit more as a ninja than a samurai, either way. I dunno if that's the direction you want, but I guess it's worth it to brainstorm a bit.

    As for some of the changes you suggested- it's kinda just up to you if you want to make any substitutions based on theme. Some of it may just come down to trying different powers in the PH and seeing which ones you like the most in practice.
