Hello all!
I signed up for the
@#$% Perfect World account just so I could return to the forums to post this question!
I've just been returning to the game the last few weeks, and there have been changes from the last time I played, like the specializations, and I don't think Ego did that much specifically for ranged damage previously. And I sure didn't get 3 super stats, so it's been a bit.):eek:
So, I have an older toon, who I LOVE, but I'm not sure quite how to have him be built with some of the more recent changes.
I tend to give him some of the Might powers, like Roomsweeper, and some of the Darkness powers,like Shadow Bolt and Shadow Embrace, along with Rebuke and Invulnerability.
I know it's kinda an odd collection...he's kinda supposed to be super strong, and a powerful energy weilder...
Now, if Strength does Melee damage, and Ego does ranged, should I go with those 2, and then what...? Constituion for HP? Recovery for the Equilibrium (I love having my energy be up), Intellegence for reduced costs...?
Does ANYONE do STR & EGO together...? Or am I just crazy???
Thanks for any help!!
:biggrin:

Even then, STR and EGO don't really do a whole lot other than boost melee/ranged damage, and it's not difficult to get a fair amount of the appropriate stat without choosing it as a Superstat. STR is kind of useful against knockback mobs, I suppose, but you can just as easily go CON as your primary stat and pick up the anti-knockback specialization.
Pick up the darkness EB (which is based off con and grants energy when striking a feared enemy with dimensional attacks)
Get Burning Chi Fist from Unarmed, and get the adv Fist of Righteous Flame (charging it up fully gives your melee attacks an added dimensional damage buff).

One of my characters is a DEX/Str/Ego guardian, and will probably be using that mastery or just the DEX one. The build handles energy extremely well and completely destroys mobs with Laser Pulse Beam and Avalance for ranged, and Dragon's Wrath and Gauntlet Chainsaw upclose. Use of Form of the Tempest gives it a slight melee-bent as far as damage goes, but the fact it stacks regardless of attack type makes it still very versatile.
I think I can do that....

I think I might try that last build that was suggested...although I may still try to sneak Roomsweeper & Haymaker in there as I found them quite fun. (I may still try and squeeze Rebuke in as well...it gave him a nice light contrast to the darks...and a heal... (It's for my Cosmic Lad character, super strong, with 'space-like' powers of 'stars' and 'dark matter'...silly? Perhaps...but I like him...!
I've been having lots of fun this weekend updating old characters to the new systems...
Thank you for the input - any more ideas, I'd love to hear them!
