It started as a concept/roleplay build. It has become one of my favorite. I've solo'd every AP on Elite (Yay Army of One), tanked Grond and Mega D without a healer, and can be downright vicious in any PvP scenario.
No video's yet, but if anyone wants to see the build in action, my handle is @brommin in game. Drop me a line, I'm happy to help or show off a bit =p
Note: You'll need to retcon around level 11 to get your heavy hitter i.e. Dragon's Wrath. Until then, use any other power in place of Thunderbolt Lunge. after the retcon, you should easily be able to use this build to level.
Super Stats:
Level 5: Super Dexterity
Level 13: Super Intelligence
Level 1: Rain of Steel
Level 1: Thunderbolt Lunge
Level 5: Lightning Reflexes - Rank 2, Rank 3
Level 5: Acrobatics - Rank 2, Rank 3
Level 8: Eye of the Storm - Rank 2, Blade Beyond the Veil
Level 11: Dragon's Wrath - Rank 2, Tiger's Courage
Level 14: Bountiful Chi Resurgence - Rank 2, Resurgent Reiki
Level 17: Form of the Master - Rank 2
Level 20: Molecular Self Assembly
Level 23: Masterful Dodge
Level 26: Straight Shot - Rank 2, Rank 3
Level 29: Ego Sprites - Rank 2, Slave Mentality
Level 32: Psychic Vortex - Rank 2, Single Minded
Level 35: Ego Choke - Rank 2, Rank 3
Level 35:
Level 38:
Talents:
Level 1: The Blade
Level 6: Shooter
Level 9: Coordinated
Level 12: Negotiator
Level 15: Academics
Level 18: Investigator
Level 21: Amazing Stamina
This build can be troublesome at later stages, stat wise. But I have found that if you slot a piece of dodge gear, then focus mainly on Dex, Ego, and just some partial Int, it works great. The reason mainly for superstatting Int, is mainly to reduce the cost of all abilities, especially Dragon's Wrath. At 34, with a full bar of Energy, I can get out right at 4 fully charged before I run out.
Constant free energy returns come in the form of consistantly using BCR and Thunderbolt Lunge, both of which proc MSA. The damage reduction from BCR is almost nil against the amount of crits it deals.
The last three powers are open, feel free to add what you'd like, as this build in my opinion, is technically done. Feel free to critique if ya like
