[CoX] Builds Build Characters

General Build Thread For CoX

Hello, and welcome to the General Build Thread. Instead of having a multitude of new threads, this thread will house all builds for Heroes and Villains. This thread will help new and veterans alike on AT selection and powers.


What you will find here:
  1. Builds from veteran players.
  2. Posting of your build for others to assess.
  3. General Questions about powers.

What you won't find here:
490112034d733b5f99fdw9.th.jpg

I strongly encourage all of the Level 50's to post their own build to provide some assistance to other lowbie heroes and villains. Include details on how you play your characters and why it works for you.

Here are some build planners you can use:

CoHPlanner is a web based planner. Doesn't have IOs in it yet though. Mid's Hero Designer is another planner. It has IOs and set enhancements with tons of other features too.


Now, to give you idea on how this thread will work, I will provide my own build of Spines/Regen.

Two or three slots were changed after this build, but most of them are in the same place. This build really works well in PvE. I've tried it PvP, but never to the extent to say its good enough to actually duel against others with. With spines, you have more AoEs than other scrappers. Spines has the ability to take down 8 man spawns, and does really well with groups. Regen has the ability to stay in fights for throughout the battle. With quick recovery, some opt not to take stamina, but with spines I found that it is end heavy, so I specc'd into stamina. I didn't take Moment of Glory from this set because I found that it really wasn't that good. It takes nearly all of your HP and negates regen, which defeats the purpose of the regen set. It is more of a situational power.

With Focused Accuracy, you tend not to miss much at all. For my attack chain, I go with Build up -> Energy Torrent -> Throw Spines -> Spine Burst -> Single Target attacks such as Lunge and Ripper. Energy Torrent has the ability to knockdown (not knockback) enemies, which provides spines damage mitigation. You can throw Energy Torrent and Throw Spines before most of the enemies gets up. Then you jump into the crowd and use Spine Burst and with quills and single target attacks you clean up the rest of the group. With this attack chain you can easily kill +1 and +2 minions most of the time.

    What's with Recall Friend at the end of the build?

    I'll post my builds for a slightly PvP capable Dark/Thermal Corrupter and Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation blaster when I get home later.

    Recall friend is something I use fairly often, cause I find myself helping lowbies without travel powers or recalling them to avoid the perils of Peregrine. Scoot always bugs me to get revive instead of recall but I find myself using recall friend over revive alot more.

    Maybe if you used End Redux instead of recharge you could drop stamina, I mean you've already got hasten. Then you could get revive! And two more attacks!

    Is this the "pick on Gouka's build" thread? Because if so, hooray! :P

    Goggles needs more tanking powers.

    My 50 Fire/Kin controller. You will never be bored playing a char like this, though sometimes it's a little too busy to be fun. Excellent for soloing post-32, especially since your imps don't bug you for Speed Boost every 2 minutes. Like most trollers, a late bloomer, but unlike most trollers, the damage output is excellent. Plus, the big heal and end powers coupled with the controls make for great "brink of death" recoveries.

    My 50 Rad/Rad defender. A team player, through and through. Heal, rez, recall friend, and AM = teams love her. The only major team-support powers this char doesn't have are from the Leadership pools, and dropping the 2 EPP powers would get me those if I wanted them. EM Pulse is a great AOE hold, too. This is my go-to gal for most occasions, fun and rewarding to play.

    My 50 energy/energy blaster, single-target focused for efficient death-dealing. Except for Nova, of course. Whenever we get another free respec, I'm dropping Grant Invis and Phase Shift, which has become rather useless. Especially considering how good the "Ethereal Shift" craftable temp power is. Tonia is also 7 1/2 feet tall, which I don't recommend. ;-)

    Thanks for posting those builds, HarshLanguage. I just created an Energy/Energy Blaster and a Radiation/Radiation Defender* this evening, and having some idea of what works well is awesome.

    *Totally by chance, strangely enough. Although I guess with a limited number of power combos, it's not that unusual to have chosen this way. Anywho. Thanks.

    I'm running an Ice/Fire Dominator right now and having some troubles picking powers in my late 20s.

    At level 25 I have:
    Ice Block, Arctic Air, Ice Slick

    Flares, Incinerate, Fire Breath, Fire Blast, Fiery Embrace

    Combat Jumping, Super Jump, Swift, Health, Stamina, Hasten

    At 26 I will get Glacier
    At 32 I will get Jack Frost
    At 38 I will get Blaze

    It's 28, 30, 35, 38 that I'm unsold on.

    Consume: I don't really burn through the end that fast.
    Combustion: Possible, but I had it for a short time before respeccing and it was merely ok. Though it was unslotted and I wasn't teaming much at the time.
    Blazing Bolt: Tempting, but have no clue how useful it is.
    Shiver: Had it before respec, and am considering it for it's PvP utility, as well as suplementing Arctic Air
    Stealth: Could make solo mission running faster, since the Domi is a slow soloing class. PvP ability as well

    I'm also eyeing the Medicine and Teleport pools, though I'm not sure how useful they are.

    Any experience with any of these powers?

    Combustion sucks, and I know as a blaster power Flares gets a lot of flack too. Stealth and Recall friend are always useful, as is revive, but that takes a few extra powers getting to.

    How is storm summoning for a defender power? It seems that everyone goes with kinetics, radation, or empathy, and I do wonder if storm is a bit too focused on enemy debuffing and not enough on healing/group buffing, but it seems nifty.

    Take a look at the Trick Arrow set; that's basically 100% debuff powers. No such thing as being too focused.

    And from listening to Ghostalker pvp as a villain, I take it storm defenders really fuck people up in pvp.

    In Storm, you have O2 Boost and Steamy Mist for team support, then a few nice debuffs/controls (Freezing Rain, Thunderclap, Snow Storm). It's a good set, though personally I've only used it on a controller where I had more to do than storm powers and defender blasts. It doesn't have the direct team-support powers (read: big heals or big buffs) that Rad/Kin/Emp do.

    You might want to look at Dark Miasma. It's a really nice combination of heal/rez and debuffs. I'm a little biased, having 3 different chars with Dark Miasma, but it's a nice set that keeps you busy and makes a noticeable difference on a team. Unlike, say, Trick Arrow, which is a good set technically (lots of good debuffs) but your team won't necessarily notice because the powers and effects are pretty subdued and there's no heal/buff. (It's too bad too, TA gets a bad rap.)

    I thought "pure" helrz only took /Energy, and then only the one blast they HAVE to take? You know, the ones who also take all four powers in the Medicine Pool, because that is just how pure a helr they are? :P

    You are better off putting those end redux into your attacks, btw. Those small to medium attacks that you really onl 1xAcc, 3xDmg can get 1-2 -end enhancements and that works better than slapping two on your armors.

    Build up you could just leave alone and put a recharge in it or put 3 recharges in it to have it up often.

    Total focus just slot the same as any attack really.

    What about things like Build Up...or Total Focus?

    For slotting? On my level 50 Energy/Fire Blaster I have Build Up six slotted with three recharge reduction and three to-hit buff enhancements. You could maybe forgo six slotting (not sure what other folks around here would think) but you definitely want two to three recharge in it at the very least.

    As for your build, I would suggest not taking Energy Torrent. It's an overall weak AoE cone attack that I respected out of pretty fast. Energy Torrent and Explosive Blast are actually pretty much the same powers, except Torrent is an AoE cone and Blast is a targeted AoE attack, so take one or the other I guess but not both. I prefer Explosive Blast, simply because it's easier to catch a group of enemies in it's AoE radius.

    If you plan on taking powers in the order you've shown, Energy Torrent is a waste at level 26 ... and you sure as hell don't want to six slot it. Take one of those slots and put it in Power Burst. Power Burst is short range, but it's one of the most damaging attacks in the Energy primary so you really shouldn't neglect it.

    One last thing ... you might want to try to rework some of your choices early on so that you can get Stamina at level 20 and not 22. Not necessary, but most people like to get Stamina as soon as possible. Having Stamina made my Super Strength/Electric Armor Brute go from a lowly thug to a nigh unstoppable force.

    Here's my level 50 Energy/Energy blaster build.

    Just a quick note: this is not a power build. This is pretty much the same build I came up with after respecs came in after I1 and has never changed save for when ED came out and I replaced the two red SOs in my attacks for a accuracy and recharge reduction.

    Harsh, how would you enhance your abilities if you don't have access to hami enhancements? For instance, instead of Nucle exp (for leveling purposes) would I enchance the slots with accuracy?

    Like Scooter said, 2 Acc, 3 Damage; and then either recharge or end reduction if you're having end problems. Obviously I like recharge in my two main attacks, and I should really swap out one or both ranges in Burst too (it used to be half its current range). Don't skimp on the accuracy, add those before damage.

    Re HOs: The nicest thing about Invention sets is that they can compete (and some say outperform) HOs, and at lower levels. You probably want to look into sets as soon as they make financial sense, because like HOs, they make each slot in a power "go farther". The immediate effect won't be as dramatic as HOs, which basically give you an extra slot each, but every little bit helps. I'm not terribly familiar with sets myself, though.

    As for Build Up and Aim - 3 recharges ASAP. Then for BU, like NAND said add to-hit buffs. I found myself with plenty of slots to spare (see: 3-slottted Phase Shift :lol: ), and BU is an essential power you will use all the time, so it's worth it. For Total Focus, treat it like any other attack at first, then add disorient durations if you want instead of EndRdx or Rech. HOs let me do all three, but they're overkill since I only use TF when I feel "safe" in melee or need to take a mezzer LT/Boss out of the fight.

    For Energy Torrent - At low levels, I'd suggest taking it. It's a decent extra attack, especially pre-SOs and 6-slotted blasts, and the KB can be nice. I found it to be much more handy than Explosive Blast, because I hate the circular KB of EB. Torrent you can direct. I respec'd Torrent to 35 only after I'd hit 50. When I drop Phase Shift I'll probably move Torrent up. Also, if you're going to take EB, 5-slot it, otherwise it'll just be seriously half-assed.

    @Ghost's Stamina and Hasten - It's like 2005 all over again! :P

    Edit: And in case anyone was wondering about my 3-accuracy Power Thrust slotting, when I'm not about to Nova I often put Thrust on auto as a defensive move, KBing anything that gets too close too fast, so I don't want it to miss. Plus, it's a fun power to watch.
    Edit 2: And after writing this wall of text, I want to play my blaster now.

    So guys, what do you think of my slotting?
    bwahahah2ur.jpg
    This was when I was respeccing my character at a friend's house. I was in the middle of putting my enhancements into their slots, then I got disconnected. When I went back to do the respec, my enhancements were in these spots. I had extra respecs, so I confirmed this, then copied the character over to the test server, then finally fixed them, so there's a dude out there on the test server somewhere with recharge reduction on stamina and dam/acc on hasten :V

    Awesome. That is hilarious. I think my favorite is the run speed in Aim. Or the science-origin range and endrdx SOs in Stamina. :!!:

    But you know, the run speed in Nova might actually be funnier.

    Honestly, the more I look the more I'm laughing. Hell of a bug.

    Level 50 Dark/Dark/Dark Defender. This is a well rounded build that doesn't neglect its defensive abilities, but also can blast a lot. Because standing around not blasting is boring.

    This is my build to 50 for my 41 Storm/Sonic/Power Defender. Medicine is certainly not required, but having the self heal is useful. Leadership (Assault/Tactics) would be more team friendly.

    I should not that Sonic Blast, for a Defender, is incredible. Due to AT modifier, the -Resistance for Defenders is stronger than for Blasters, so you can get near blaster level ranged damage when you combine Sonic Blast with further -Res Powers (Freezing Rain, Tar Patch, Enervating Field, etc) or +Dmg powers (Fulcrum Shift).

    Alright guys, I got Kentucky Devil to Level 24, almost 25 actually. I'm planning to do the respec trial and this is what I have so far for my idea. I know mostly what I want my Martial Arts abilities slotted, but not so much the Dark Armor. Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to get this right the first time I respec, ya know? Oh and ignore the level it says in the build, thats cause I didn't put in all the slots.
