My version of a Space Marine is Superstat Str, Defiant, Juggernaut, tanky, and uses mostly Teleport and Lazer Sword. Laser Knight looks good with his Power Sword, he's got healing and the self-ressurection (Bionics Cybernetics, roll a 6 to stand back up). That's the only one I've seen working pretty well.
I played with it a little and came up with this - a bit more in the shadow, this is based off Flowcyto's Wolfpack (which was what I was kinda going for already), and pushed more onto theme. This one is all about damage, and from that older build I replaced conviction with lifedrain (Click Heal vs. Channeled AOE heal),…
Here's something I came up with, I'm not sure how well it will work. I've got IDF/AoRP simulating Invincible for the entire group of wolves, I use a basic claw spam w/Supernatural Power (because the pets knock the equilibrium down and I should be able to keep things running using that EU), and I can use Howl/Lifedrain as…
I'm spending most of my time beating people down with the base combo anyway. It will be nice not to HAVE to lightwave slash to build enrage stacks, though. I prefer simplicity in my playstyle, not one of the active button mashers.
Well, looking at them in the game, they both identically apply +X end every 3 secs for 6 secs when triggered by Y. MSA used to stack. Does it still? Because if it doesn't, then with Defiance and a Form, I'm going to go with Unfied Theory for the simplicity - it will fire every attack, and I won't have to keep rolling CDs…
I notice that both of the suggested builds use Warden Mastery as well as MSA. What's the reasoning for that, over another energy unlock or the flat bonuses of the STR mastery?
Extremely informative and helpful, Squirrelloid. Is Devour Essence or Conviction going to be better for healing? Scratch that, Conviction's going to be better, let me ask, given the other powers, is Devour Essence going to be adequate?
Well all I want is a bit of support, just sentinel aura and mastery would be fine I suppose, but that brings up another question from within the sentinel tree - what triggers Rejuvenated? BCR? Reconstructive Circuits? What kind of Hold would fit the concept for the mastery?
Well the idea was to be far more paladin than anything else... But pairing him up in theme with my wife's succubus toon has made him a lot darker. I -like- the heavy weapons for him, and if I'm going into sorcery for a passive anyway, I thought about picking up the sorcery energy builder and Circle of TankingStuff while I…
So what I'm hearing is that a good tank really NEEDS to have their form be something that functions well in the offense department? Otherwise their dps suffers enough that they can't maintain aggro? I was going to try this with large weapons, but I'll settle for having an aura or two that fits the inspiring commander…
