I was wondering if it would be possible to make a Dr. Doom inspired build using say power armor and magic

    PA is a bit tricky to work with, due to the power lockouts on its slotted attacks. So it'll somewhat depend on what attacks you want to mix. Are there any powers in particular that you wanted to use here?

    I thought plasma beam would be fun, but I'm not very adept at figuring out what works best for a build. I get an idea and usually search for something similar to what I imagine. Figured I'd take a shot and ask for help this time. BTW love your builds, I'm using like three of them on characters and they are all great. Thanks so much for your response.

    Here is the one that flow hammered out for me.

    Sure thing. Well you can use that other build I guess, but I assume that ya want something w/ a bit more Sorcery in it. We could still use Plasma Beam for AoE, provided you are fine w/ its manual aiming, but I'd prob pair it w/ another AoE option. Maybe add Energy Wave w/ Rev Polarity to clump up mobs for the Beam. Can also use Soul Beam in Sorc for the single-target dps attack, and pair it w/ Hex and Eld Blast for buffing tis dmg. I assume you also want a defensive passive like Invuln for the theme, so we'll keep it as a Hybrid:

    Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
    Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Avenger: Ruthless (2/2)
    Avenger: Round 'em Up (3/3)
    Avenger: Surprise Attack (2/2)
    Avenger: Relentless Assault (3/3)
    Mastery: Avenger Mastery (1/1)

    I'm not sure what else you'd want for the build's concept here, so I left some power slots open for you to have some options. Uses EWave, Hex, & Plasma Beam for AoE (Hex will help proc Conjuring here, and add some AoE DoT dmg). For single-targets, you can just use Hex + Eld Blast early on, and later on use Soul Beam instead of the blast as your main attack (and if you get an Avenger Mastery proc, use it on a fast charge of Eld Blast). Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and End (or Dex)
