I know this is old, but any chance you have a more current link to that video as it does not show me any video available? And would you consider this build still viable as it is here? |

Build is still viable, just played it a few days ago. Would using INT/DEX with Ego territiary still work as well or do you need the larger health pool from going CON? EDIT: Ok i have been reading over your guides as a lot has changed from what I remember back in beta/launch days, as i've been gone for a while and trying to pick up all the changes. So I can see now that there is one super stat and two tertiary stats, let alone a specialist tree system which I'm still trying to figure out how it combines abilities based on what stats you choose and maybe the order chosen. So trying to remodel my guy using this build as a guide, would going SS Ego, then Int + Dex be close enough in function to how durable this build is? So would Dex's defensive bonuses make up for not having Con while amping up damage? And Int is about equal to swapping with End? I have been trying to test things in powerhouse but it has been taking a lot of time working on that and was hoping you could provide me a bit of insight on that front. I do appreciate any advice.

Dropping CON would make you a bit more vulnerable when using Darkness Transfusion.
Ego/Int/Dex would be trading durability for raw damage. Also, one thing to consider is that the effectiveness of INT as a stat is set to be drastically reduced for a number of silly reasons so this build might not function well at all with INT once those changes go through.
No, no defensive bonus from superstating Dex would be able to match losing the Con. I assume you mean using Dex as a primary superstat, and using its specializations for defense as there are no other defensive bonuses from Dex.
In some builds INT and END are equivalent, this isn't one of them. The cost reduction from INT doesn't match the large energy pool this build uses for maintaining high cost powers.

Hey appreciate the advice Kenpo. So I have just changed up my stats to test what you have and now though I am not sure what kind of balance I should be looking to meet. So should Ego be my highest stat, and by how much? As for Con / End, what should I be aiming to get them around in all Legion gear at 40? Ebon Ruin is the only power I didn't take, as took Forces, force field click for bit more survivability. How important would you say this power is to the build? As well to comment on, I have noticed even though Int is a secondary, I found that just as you said the cost reduction still makes it tough to pull off full maintains and feel like i am spending to much to building energy in fights. Trying lots of testing of various things and power mixes but I find I have been coming back to the same thing you have here. God how I have missed this game. This is by far my favorite character, though prolly a bit bias as well as this was my first character and first 40. But I love the aoe death machine that is kind of durable. |
