Booger-Boy needs help!

maleb666maleb666 Posts: 390 Arc User
Hey guys, I'm doing a "booger" themed build, but I need some advice for it. So far, I'm going Infernal/Ice for the build, and it's working ok.

Still have some powers to grab (currently I'm lvl35) and I'm stuck on what to get, or even if I'll keep Infernal/Ice or mix some other "booger-like" powers in there. It's not meant to be a powerhouse, just want some synergy between powers, etc. Any advice?

    I like your character concept! :) Here's a DPS build that's mostly Infernal Supernatural with some of the Ice powers you had picked.

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged Damage)
    v3.45:38

    Level 6: Ego (Primary)
    Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)

    Level 6: Mephitic
    Level 8: Ice Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Level 14: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 17: Venomous Breath (Rank 2, Paralytic Bile)
    Level 20: Defile (Rank 2, Lethal Poison)
    Level 23: Ice Burst (Rank 2, Freeze, Dirtbag)
    Level 26: Corrosive Pit (Rank 2, Toxicity)
    Level 29: Ice Shield (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Resurgence
    Level 35: Will-o'-the-Wisp
    Level 38: Thundering Return
    Adv. Points: 35/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6: Corrosive Jump (Rank 2)
    Level 35: Bubble Flight (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Specializations
    Ego: Force of Will (2/2)
    Ego: Insight (3/3)
    Ego: Follow Through (3/3)
    Ego: Sixth Sense (2/3)
    Avenger: Ruthless (2/2)

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


    Ice Spear and Defile were a bit redundant. I added Mephitic for a power unlock. You could drop the last two power if you have other preferences, though Will-o'-the-Wisp let's you apply Debilitating Poison more frequently than with Corrosive Pit alone. I put in Ice Form as your Passive to boost both your toxic and cold damage. You could swap that for Pestilence if you prefer.

    Under Specializations, if you have a good amount of Offense from your gear, I'd take Aggressive Stance in the Vindicator tree. If not, I'd consider taking 2 points in The Rush of Battle instead.

    Defile and Ice Spear are pretty redundant, since they are both strong single-target attacks. Defile works better w/ the rest of the build, so I'd prob keep that and ditch Ice Spear. The build could also use an energy unlock, and you may want to switch to Conc or Chilled Form as your toggle/form, since they are more general-use. I would also add a source of Debilitating Poison in there to buff your Toxic dmg- prob using the Wisp since it's easy to manage. There's not much synergy between Ice and Infernal, but you can keep a few Ice powers for CC and/or general utility. Here's an example edit:

    The build is mostly going to be using Infernal SN powers (esp since Pestilence won't buff the dmg of any Ice powers). You'll want to keep the Wisp up in general for debuffing. For single-targets, you can alternate between IBlast and Defile, while Venom Breath can be your main AoE attack (I like its AoE stun adv, but you can also switch back to R3 and its higher dmg). Ice Cage can interrupt/root enemies (and can potentially distract enemies if you open w/ it), while Ice Burst gives you another CC option. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some End and Con.

    Thank you for the feedback, peeps!

    I just checked. I had picked up Mephitic already, just forgot to add it to the Hero Creator build.

    I'll get him to lvl 40 and do some number crunches with the builds!

    Again, thanks a lot and keep'on weird!! B)
