Hey all!
I wonder if this kind community could help me with something as fickle as inspiration for a new build I need to make. See, I have this great looking, 40k-inspired space marine type and I'd really like to play him. He's at 26 now, and has gone through two different builds but neither of them felt really right for the character, and now I've spent two days trying to come up with one that I like better.
He obviously needs to be able to smash stuff up close as well as deliver destruction from a distance. A FA/MA build would seem obvious, and I've played him a bit like that, with Eye of the Storm and Assault Rifle being my staple powers. However, that build I used was based on dodging and Bountless Chi Resurgence, and now that feels way to close to this guy.
I've been experimenting a lot with Heavy Weapons, but that seems way hard to use without going all in being a pure HW fighter, and that feels wrong, color wise. (Plus I just don't enjoy those comparatively complex rotation schemes that much.)
SB/DB and FA of course work well together, but I feel he should be an Invuln or Defiance/Enrage type of guy, with Str/Con rather than Dex/Ego. And if I go with firearms I suppose I really need to go SS dex for the crits, both for damage and energy return. Str/Dex seems fine, of course, but then I wonder if I cripple Invuln or Defiance too much.
I tried drones to bring the sounds of war to my HW build, and that played very well (4-hard) but still doesn't feel right.
So, you people have any suggestions maybe I haven't thought of? This guy needs to feel massive, so I don't think dual pistols is right for him, for example.
Very greatful for any input!
