Pure Offensive and Pure Defensive

[Archived Post]

Ok, here is the very basic question of all times.

I'm wondering the most DPS characer (build, class, all details) I think its pur electricity but what do you think ?

Also the same question comes in about survivibility (tank, healer, what do you call it ?!)
I think this is a PFF force char but what do you think ?


This thread is for ideal solutions ot both situations ! Thanks !

Going for a pure defence character, I'd think PFF is a bad choice. It gives you a solid boost against alpha strikes but if you can't take out your opponents quickly, it will deplete and you'll start taking serious damage. PFF is best suited as a defensive option for high DPS builds. For survivability, your best options for a passive are probably Invulnerability or Regeneration. Invulnerability works well against large numbers of henchmen, while Regenereration is optimized for longer fights.

I haven't played around with DPS builds as much, but I know that single blade does some series single-target damage once you start buying the advantages. Its drawbacks are its lack of AE abilities and having no range.

Biggest problem i find with the single blade chain attacks is chargeups, for me its an issue because i like to run around arena with my melee toon using a melee energy builder (oh ya thats right) so far about 50 kills in 4 matches and 0 deaths, kudos to the 3rd team my pug fought though you guys gave us a good run we only wound up winning that one by 1-2 points.

Back to the single target attacks though if your melee id say Single blade probably has the best chain for high single target damage especially if you are a crit build although dont forget to take as much strength as you can without giving up dex/ego so your attacks do more base damage in addition to critting hard and often.
