Hey Ken, How is your latest version of Sho Nuff geared? And if your gear is super-spectacular then what gear and mods would you suggest for a lazy and/or cheap B@$^*# like myself.

Hey Ken, How is your latest version of Sho Nuff geared? And if your gear is super-spectacular then what gear and mods would you suggest for a lazy and/or cheap B@$^*# like myself. Rank 5 mods only. 110 STR, INT and CON on the primaries with CON, STR, INT and REC on the secondaries. Using the Silver Champs Recognition purple primaries from UNITY, one questionite purple secondary and two blue secondaries. The questionite secondary isn't even needed, I just wanted to have one on one character so I could tell myself "I did that".

Hi Kenpo, as you know I am a huge fan of your build as it fitted my concept of an old PnP toon, Ghettoblaster, perfectly. I have modified your build slightly, adding CC to the lunge and taking Aggressor instead of Ego Surge, plus some other minor tweaks. I was also considering Protection Field instead of Conviction, as I have used it whilst leveling in lieu of Unleashed Rage and found it very handy to open with and to use when my Energy Refraction hasn't proced. The energy return is handy for this build too. Could I have your thoughts on it please?

Sounds good to me. I preferred Ego surge for the nimble mind advantage increasing the crit rate. Conviction is almost totally expendable from my playing the build. I rarely use it on anything other than some cosmic fights.

Thanks Kenpo. I think I will go with PF then as it fits concept better.

Hey Kenpo, Just noticed something. KenpoJuJitsu3's builds Sho Nuff Not a leveling build! Minimum level 35 to be playable. Might/Energy Projector bruiser. For players looking for a survivable, in-your-face build build that can put out solid damage while smacking any and everything around. (Str, Con, End, Invuln, Tank)You still have End listed instead of Int. I am not going to edit it since this one is your favorite in every respect. It would be like touching Fonzie's Leather Jacket or Bike. It just isn't done.

Hello Kenpo,
I have studied your builds for a while now but and thanks to you I have become successful at building characters. I have a question about gear for non dodge based toons like Sho Nuff. What do you use for primary defense on Sho Nuff? Breastplate of Agility or Breastplate of Defense.

I suppose Agility is for Dodge characters? Yes kinda, Agility gives you avoidance which is kind of hard to get unless you can get you hands on avoidance cores. Combine Breastplate of Agility with some Gambler's Lucky Gems and you can get a decent buff to characters that use dodge as part of their build. Not as good as it used to be due to the nerf but still decent.

Hey Kenpo, What power makes this bubble happen? This Zed B Build is an older version of Sho Nuff. I know, he needs an update. Seem pretty study even without the update.

That looks like Force Bolts advantage Energy Refraction proccing it's shield and energy form. One of the few Energy Builders with a real reason to spend points on.
