Barbarian Queen

corunn · September 2020

So, I'm trying to make a sturdy build that uses mostly unarmed attacks but also some single blade for flavor. I decided I wanted invuln for sturdiness, and to MA over might just d/t perceived speed issues. I still want to maximize DPS while using invuln, so plan is to stack mostly DEX. I suck at MA builds, however - it took me forever to figure out how to add demolish. Not too excited about using kicks, want it to be mostly fisticuffs. Took thundering kicks to set up demolish, not sure of how to keep it up without using an entire kick rotation between dragon uppercut usage.

Here's what I've got. Looking forwards to some edits.

Barbarian Queen - Freeform (Any / Multiple)

Link to this build: https://aesica.net/co/herocreator.htm?v=35&n=Barbarian Queen&d=11230aKG9La0063023E100J229EL00E209E400B800DO03ET0BEG03K500DX039A03BB00DJ0810gy0tid3Aub10000000000&e=
v3.43:35

For some reason, I don't seem to be able to post the build. As soon as I paste it, the option to actually "POST" the build disappears - on 3 different browsers, no less.

(Yea, the forum's scrolling seems to be a bit messed up when making posts- at least on my end. Not sure what's causing that atm.)

Dragon's Bite is going to be mostly redundant w/ Dragon Uppercut here, unless maybe you are using one of them for Rush. If you don't want to use TKicks for Demolish, then you could take a Might power that applies it, or maybe use Unarmed's Elbow Slam instead. The build could also use a decent AoE- like Scything Blade from SB. Here's an example build for that:

Since Elbow Slam has a cd, if leveling you can pick a different basic attack early on and re-train out of it later.

For single-targets, it uses Elbow Slam to put up (and refresh) Demolish and Chi Flame, charged DBite to put up Rush (for extra energy), and charged DU as it's main filler attack. Scything Blade can be your main AoE here, and you can also throw in Vorpal Blade when it's up. Vindicator + Brawler could also work for the specs, if desired. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con.

(edited to change Scything Blade's advs. You could also get the Heavy Blade adv as a potential option, if you want more AoE CC)

Thanks as always, Flow!!!

Upon review, I'll prob change the special adv I gave you on Scything Blade, since you already have DBite for a bleed refresh. Regardless, hope you like the build 8)
