Let me just say I already liked your costume and your concept. I don't work well with templates so I did this from scratch based off your concept - I don't think it's as good as yours, but it's a bit of something different. Anyway, here's my take ;)
I'm very interested in finding a small, dedicated SG like this. Been subscribed for over 2 years, still never seen 40 thanks to the constant desire to relaunch alts. I've got millions of ideas for toons to fit any theme.
Hmmm... PA I think may be the way to go, now that I look at it. With munitions, the build never really synergizes to be anything greater than the sum of it's parts. PA gives me the option of some big spike damage to mix in with electric paralyzes. I still want my rocket launcher though...
So, the way I think about color is the same as I would when it comes to clothing in real life. You can match colors (like your original concept), change the hue to an adjacent hue on the color wheel, or the direct opposite color on the color wheel, or change the shade (lighter or darker) in the main color of your outfit.…
So, ran through PTS with this, only change being Ice Barrier to Wall of Ice for thematic reasons. This is awesome. The nanobot swarm kicks the entire build up quite a bit, being able to spam Ice Sheath, Masterful Dodge and Resurgence gives me the thematic chills I wanted with the survivability and heals I needed. Ran…
Thanks for all your input, I'm tweaking it on PTS now. The biggest thing is I wanted to stay away from was directly having to apply chill too often - the whole idea was "magical freezing arrows" moreso than "ice-caster with a bow". I wish I had power-replace items still available! I was hoping that Ice Sheath + Supercooled…
It's a PvE toon, and it can be kind of clicky, but if you manage your sigils+fears+ice sheath it's really effective solo and in a team it's a buff fiend. It's definitely not PvP friendly at ALL, so yeah... don't PvP with it. If you do you'll need to swap out the passive and both role trees, ditch Ebon Sigils, really, you…
I would do this if Focus buffed elemental damage as much as Enraged!, which is why I spent time including knocks. I'm not having any energy concerns with Emerging Nightmares/Spirit Reverberation. I'm also not having any trouble keeping 8 stacks of rage with Dragon Uppercut. I was thinking about swapping in Strength as a…
Form of the Master w/ Storm's Eye Prana is a great fit here, however I didn't want a melee-specific buff because of how often I was using Pyre, which worked much better for handling multiple mobs. Pyre + 8 stacks of Enraged! + Immolation was working better for me with the big groups.
I went with Spirit Reverb because it seemed to be doing better in the Powerhouse with Emerging Nightmares + Ghostly Hands working together, but I may end up using MSA as I put more playtime into the build. Quarry would work well if I was running this in an Offensive/Hybrid role, but since I am using this for tanking…
