there is a problem with the invincible tammy, the chest beam/plasma beam combo doesnt work , it doesnt let you use chest beam alongside plasma beam... i tried, they cancell each other. it seems that if you chose chest beam, you have to give uo the chance to use 3 powers at the same time...

[Deleted]

Chest Beam and Plasma Beam both have high damage, but they don't cancel each other out. They can't be used together because Plasma Beam is a maintain, not a toggle, and Chest Beam is a charge. If you want 3 concurrent attacks active, you can't use this combination.

[aruka]

ic, in other words, taking CB leaves you without the posibility of using 3 concurrent attacks... kinda sad really, but using 3 concurrent attacks at the same time should get very close to the damage CB and palsma beam would do with another toggle wouldnt?

after all, we still have FaW for a nuke

[Deleted]

Eg. the choices in my build will allow to throw in a charge on top of 2 toggles whenever your energy returns from Overdrive should allow it. Should be pretty decent. Works well with Miniguns/Reconstruction toggles and a Tactical Missile charge here and there too, for more survivability.

The choices I made were what I felt would work well together, despite individual powers not necessarily being the one with highest damage.

Updated Devastator and Blade after a bit of play testing on PTS.

[lezard2102]

Hey tammy, about the Radiant guide, I think it should be noted that if you are planning on doing Rampage Alerts (right now only Gravitar but more will be coming) you should get Divine Renewal to R3 instead of Radiant Renewal. That extra 2 sec of charge is more than enough for Gravitar to send 2 Cascades after you and you are dead, plus if you only bring char back with (30% at R1 i think?) he will also get offed immediately.

And for PvP Binding of Aratron works great with the Advantage to drain you enemy of energy while keeping you healthy.

Also your Invincible guid is great! I followed it exactly, with the exeption of Plasma Beam instead of Energy Wave, but that just because I find Plasma to be more amusing/fun xD

[Deleted]

Your points are valid lezard2102.

The Radiant build I have in mind is very focused on support. Dropping sigils before rezzing amidst enemies helps when having a longer charge, though that can be less useful on higher difficulty or even pointless if you are the only one left standing.

Having R3 Rebuke saves advantage points on Divine Renewal, the tap heals on a 300 pre (which makes sense for this AT) radiant is significant enough to get characters with <8k to full health quickly. Of course that doesn't mean ranking to R2 instead of Radiant Renewal is not good, in fact it's a good idea too since most often you will be rezzing just one player. I just chose a bit of versatility.

So far I have been rezzing people in gravitar with an unrank rez and tap heals without issues, though there is a window after being rezzed that the player can get one shotted before he is given control over his character (similar to being knocked) despite being rezzed to full health.

The Marksman


(All stats are rank 5 mods)

Link to this build: Click Here

Name: Marksman

Archetype: The Marksman

Super Stats:
Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary)
Level 15: Ego (Secondary)

Talents:
Level 1: The Marksman
Level 7: Impresario
Level 12: Negotiator
Level 15: Wordly
Level 20: Academics
Level 25: Coordinated
Level 30: Shooter

Powers:
Level 1: Strafe (Aversion)
Level 1: Straight Shot (Rank 2, Split the Arrow)
Level 6: Sonic Arrow (Rank 2, Deadly Dissonance)
Level 8: Quarry (Rank 2, *Fair Game)
Level 11: Torrent of Arrows (Rank 2, Relentless Recurve)
Level 14: Concentration
Level 17: **Focused Shot (Rank 2, Rank 3) or Snap Shot (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 21: Retaliation (Rank 2)
Level 25: Hunter's Instinct
Level 30: Evasive Maneuvers (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 35: Storm of Arrows (Rank 2, Achilles' Heel)
Level 40: Explosive Arrow (Where's the Kaboom?)

*Note: You may want to float Fair Game as you level so that once you hit 40 and are fully geared, you can swap it out for Rank 3. More DPS, dodge and other all round benefits from more stats, makes boss fights a whole lot easier.
**Note: The recent buff to Straight Shot increased Snap Shot's redundancy. Choice of Focused Shot for a high spike alpha strike attack for more added versatility. Otherwise for more DPS using Snap Shot consider the Combo: Explosive Arrow (Where's the Kaboom?) (tap) + Straight Shot (Split the Arrow) (tap) + Snap Shot (tap x4)

This build is focused on high DPS for boss fights since the Inferno already has enough AOE DPS to melt normal mobs. Ideally for open missions where another could possibly hold aggro over the Inferno.

Damage reference from Lvl 40 Test Dummy: Follow this build if you want your fireball to hit for up to 12K normally and crit for 20K with a crit chance of over 50%.
