Help with a Gunfoo build

alphazero322 · March 2013

Can anyone assist me with a good all dps gunfoo build that uses MA and dual pistols
ill try to post the build im currently using.

kallethen · March 2013

I currently have a "Gunfoo" Tank build for one of my toons (based on one I saw on here... "Hollowpoint" I think it was). I took a look at it and exchanged swapped out the threat generating advantages for higher ranks and such, and swapped out the defensive passive for Quarry. This should probably work well.

If you want to switch it back to a Tank build, drop some of the Ranks and pick up the threat advantages on Two Gun Mojo, Bullet Beatdown, Lead Tempest, and Inexorable Tides. Swap Quarry for Invulnerability or Defiance, and pick up the Laser Knight advantage on Energy Shield. (In either DPS or Tank, you could also go with Parry for a block replacer.)

She works decent as a tank, though I'm looking at swapping Constitution into the Primary stat and pick up the knock resist advantage. I'm getting tired of knocks...

Stacking some Con and Rec

Powers:
Level 1: Gunslinger
Level 1: Two-Gun Mojo (Rank 2, Close the Gap) Single target ranged, could tank r3 instead, provides Conc for NWI
Level 6: Killer Instinct
Level 8: Bullet Beatdown (Rank 2, Not Without Incident)
Level 11: Form of the Tempest Not Conc because Conc gives no energy during BB
Level 14: Quarry (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 17: Bountiful Chi Resurgence (Resurgent Reiki)
Level 20: Lead Tempest (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 23: Force Shield (Force Sheathe)
Level 26: Howl (Make them Tremble) Guaranteed Enrage for NWI

nwi doesn't require enrage anymore, either concentration or enrage, check the tooltip.
2gunmojo r2+adv will do more dmg thatn r3.
two smoking barrels no longer buffs melee powers.
ego surge+adv over lock n load (see above), because of nimble mind scaling off con and the additional ego over something you can cover with your audacity stacks, and a non existant buff from two smoking barrels.

-I'm aware that NWI can work on either Conc or Enrage. However, using 2GM for the Conc buff doesn't work very well in standard content because anything less than a Master Villain will likely die before you even get the buff.

-AFAIK Two Smoking Barrels only removes the damage buff from melee attacks. The crit chance buff and cost reduction still apply, which is the main purpose I have it in the build. But if perhaps energy isn't a concern for the build, I guess it could be replaced with whatever.

helbjorn · March 2013

I have a very similar build and find that BB is largely redundant given how powerful 2GM is now. I rarely if ever use it other than to change things up and avoid monotony. You'll kill quicker with 2GM alone.

monsterdaddy · March 2013

2GM w/Close the Gap and Demolish Rank 3 is the highest ranged DPS I have found.

kallethen · March 2013

BB is good in my tank build since it triggers my Warden Mastery buff. But yes, 2GM w/ Close the Gap is awesome.

s3rju · March 2013

with con as a stat ego surge is almost a must due to how nimble mind scales off con

let INT, audacity stacks and gear cover the cost reduction.

try a fully charged demolish r2+adv(to get the full effect) followed by minigun+adv with 2gm+adv.
ofc, you can keep stacking debuff from stuff like chest beam, arc of ruin and so on, but that would make the rotation too long.

monsterdaddy · March 2013

I thought the adv on Demolish only buffed crushing.

This is a build I have been messing with, and is a combination of things I have seen around the forums to build a tankish survivable toon, really I wanted this guy to be at range and be survivable...

**I am currently 29, and have had a blast leveling this guy so far. For the level 32,35 and 38 powers, I am going to either go with Defile (Plague Bearer), Evasive Maneuvers, Lock N Load, Masterful Dodge, or Holdout shot (stim pack). I just have not really figured out which powers would best suit my guy, masterful dodge for sure, but the last 2 powers I am not sure of yet. I also picked BB, mostly for concept purposes, and I enjoy being able to beat people with my pistol. So i just switch up btwn 2GM and BB when in melee. Ebon Void works great as a block, and IDF seems to be helping as well. Thats about it, hope this helps, and feel free to critique this as well, thanks!

Demolish by itself debuffs all physical resistance. The Below the Belt advantage further debuffs Crushing resistance, so yes - you are correct.
