pet / support build idea

Well, this is actually based off one I saw in a thread which was posted in there my Flowcyto... but of course I've made some changes.

http://powerhouse.nullware.com/powerhouse.html?v=9&n=Summoner%20Build%20FF&d=1826JLJZfheM070720075037F00O4037P037R037Q037G00LG01OC053F03MC04LC04N9042b6i3TLG2M8C

Now I know what you're thinking... why the heck does it have Endurance of all things as Primary?
Well, I would urge you to carefully look at the juicy Endurance tree, and also, take a look at Endurance mastery.

Yeah, it's like that.

Looks pretty juicy to me. Lots of blue bar, which is what it's all about. Also, I still haven't decided whether to go with that Aura of Radiant Protection, or Ebon Destruction.

And of course, the glaring weirdness of putting Concentration in there, but it's a pre-requisite, and that's why I put it in. And I have no idea if that ability only affects ME, or if it might also affect my pets. Of course, I can't replace that with Medical Nanites, because that one is slotted. I guess I could replace it with Experimental Burst Ray or Entangling Mesh, but... concentration might pair well with Ebon Destruction to help my Boomerang damage. Which I have learned can be pretty good.

I mean, yes boomerangs are wacky, but hey, Batman has been flinging them around for like eighty years or something. And, if you fully charge Ricochet it will hit all the enemies that are near each other.

But anyway, I'm still pretty new to all this, and this build may have some huge idiotic flaw to it that I'm totally ignorant of, so try not to flame me too hard. Yes, the order of the powers (when I get them) is dowright odd, BUT, that's because I want to get those pets as soon as possible.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and have fun beating up bad guys out there :D

    I belong to NO ONE! :x

    I'd prob take Conc as the toggle and skip on IDF (can't have 2 toggles on at once anyways) and find a means to stick Ego or Int as an SS, since IDF will hurt ur energy generation, and AoRP already protects ur pets as is. Other option is taking Compassion as the toggle and stacking Pres, which will auto-stack in combat w/ sentinel aura up, but not be as good for dps as Concentration + Ego or Int.

    Ya took MSA as ur EU, but ya have few cd's to trigger it (or Int to power it).

    End PSS isn't really that great, tbh. I'd prob use Pres, Ego, or Int PSS depending on the build.


    Here's a few slight variants of the build, depending on ur main priorities:

    Much of it lies in the passive ya take. AoED is the clear dps pick for a Pet build, but teammates really like AoPM's stat buff, and AoRP is excellent for group mitigation.

    Ha ha sorry about the typo @_@

    Anyways... I am starting to like that 2nd one, the Int based build. I'm looking at it real hard right now... hmmm.

    But a question about Sonic Device... I'm wondering if I should add a pretty hard hitting attack to use with that? I have no experience with Sonic Device... but I'm assuming from it's description that, you want to prep it first, then use some big attack, and Sonic Device will really buff up that attack? Maybe... hmmm... Orbital Cannon?

    Actually, charged Ricochet Throw in AoE situations is a pretty good move to pair Sonic Device with in itself. You wouldn't necc have to cut a power to utilize it.

    I mean, as long as ur fine w/ RT being ur main attack spell for AoE (charging) and single-target (tapping); I'd only add other non-pet attack powers in there if ya just wanted more variety.
