Giant Monster

kijra411kijra411 Posts: 18 Arc User
Let me start by saying I'm one of those people who like to create fun and interesting characters. After all i have 91 characters at the moment. Some are good, some are bad and some are really bad. Playing a concept character can be challenging but i like the challenge. And so i thought why not make a giant monster. And the most famous giant monster of all is... drum roll please ... Godzilla. However, i have no idea how to go about this. I have some ideas about the powers but that is it. Invulnerability to ignore the small fries. Inexorable Tides = Tail Swipe. (I've tested the animations and this is doable) Tremor, Fissure or Power Stomp would work as well. I wanted to use Incinerate as a breath weapon but sadly this is locked in place and cannot be moved to head position. If any of you expert build makers out there have any ideas i would appreciate any incite you have.

    Well, not as many things can be shot from the head area. In Fire, Fireball is prob your best bet for single-target dmg that still has Head emanation available, so I may take that (and obv Fire Breath for wider AoE). Inex Tides is a melee attack, so in a ranged build it's going to be a bit odd to fit in, but you could keep it to briefly CC/interrupt nearby mobs if they get close. One other order of contention is getting a thematic way to apply Engulfing Flames, cause it would be nice to have that debuff to boost Fireball's single-target dmg, at least. Fire Snake is still prob the easiest fit for that; even if it's summoned w/ the hands, it's still just an instant cast (so at least it's better than, say, Heat Wave or Flame Prison, and I assume you don't want the character throwing a Muni grenade either). Another potential option is Earth Splitter's EF adv, but only if you have invis weapons unlocked for HW. Regardless, here's an example build:

    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Modified Gear (2/2)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)

    The open power slots can be w/e ya want.

    For single-targets, it uses Fire Snake to apply/refresh Engulfing Flames, and otherwise uses charged Fireball as its main attack. Fire Breath can be the main AoE, though Fissure, Fire Snake, and/or Inex Tides can also be thrown in. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some End and Con.
