Munitions polish -- Sorry

edited June 2014 in Builds and Roles
There are two other Munitions builds requesting help in the first 5 posts so I feel bad about asking for help with mine too. I did look at theirs and the responses but I didn't see something I liked that I could plug in that wasn't just completely redundant to what I already have.

Basically it's always been a Gatling Gun for groups, TGM for bosses build. Bread and butter. As I got more powers I added Lead Tempest for groups that refuse to clump up for Gatling Gun but it's more of a convenience thing than a staple. But between those, form, passive, AO's, AD's, and a self heal I feel I have most of the bases covered and need a little help with the last few things to round out the build.

Any suggestions for that or for general improvements I should make in the base build would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Well, the basis of this one is a bit different, since it uses KI as the EU and favors Ego gearing over Int. TC also synergizes well w/ KI since it gives a a very nice flat crit bonus (post-buff TC is really good now, imo).

    As far as the extra powers- its up to you, since the basics of the build are solid enough as is. Ya could add Holdout Shot for a combo dmg/heal cd, or Sniper Rifle if ya want to have an easy time in Rampages shooting Gravi/Frosty out of their attack range. Or Rebirth. Or an ally res. Or a block power. Or another AD like Unbreakable or Resurgence. Or an aggro drop like Palliate/Absolve or Smoke Bomb. Or CoPD for Gravi. Or Mental Storm. Or Nanobot Swarm for the AOs. I dunno.. lotsa options avail.

    Yeah you're in the same boat that I fell into while trying to stay thematic to the core of munitions character.

    As Flowcyto said though, it comes down to your personal choice. The powers left could be anything, you could go into Gadgeteering and pick up Sonic Device to use with your attacks (Gatling Gun, Lead Tempest) and Resurrection Serum for an Ally revive, or you could go Entangling mesh to clump mobs together for Gatling gun bursts and a hold.

    Or as Flow mentioned you could go out of the technology tree and pick up some synergy from other powers. It'll all come down to your personal preference and what you can justify for your build. Some people build solely for fun and include everything, others try to keep a core concept in mind and stick to that.

    Take Flow's advice, add in any of those powers (or others) that suit you and you'll be good, the build as it is, is really quite solid at the moment. Good luck to you.

    Alright. I think I'll go Force Shield and Smoke Bomb to finish it off. Thanks for the feedback!

    (Do I need to rank up Smoke Bomb to make it drop aggro on bosses?)

    last I checked, the aggro drop is baseline, but I admit to not using the ability too much to know its ins and outs.

    I would probably go Evasive Maneuvers and Miniaturization Drive for the last 2 picks. Or another 'on next hit' power like Sonic Device or Toxic Nanites. Just something to make 2GM even more effective.

    Remember: Half the people you know are below average...

    Do not correct a fool, for he will hate you for it. Correct a wise man, for he will appreciate you for it.

    Don't be like the Qularr. They would not last one round in the Interstellar Galactic Arena...
