PA/Gad Build...to be gimped or not? That is the question...

[Archived Post]

Hi guys, i'm after some advice please.

Basically after reading through loads of posts about power, builds etc i decided i'd just "wing it" in terms of my build. Now i'm kinda regretting that and am after some advice on how to fix my potentially already gimped build....top un-gimp it if you like? Or maybe damage limitation....

I'm after a purely PVE build that will tank quite well, but still be able to give a good smack back. I tend to do ok, i've not died yet and can solo most of the team mission (although many people can) so hopefully its not too bad?

was thinking micro munitions as the next power but have no idea after that?

Thinking super stat of strength was a bad choice lol.

Suggesations please?

Cheers for reading!

Um... Wow...

I'm not entirely sure this build is salvageable.

Strength as a superstat does basically nothing for this character, except boosting your knockback and reducing incoming damage by a small, flat amount. Constitution is the stat that matters for Invulnerability, since it boosts your HP, and gives a %DR instead of just a tiny flat amount. A Power Armor tank build would do much better with either CON/END or CON/INT for superstats.

You have no block power, which is going to undermine your stated goal of tanking. I'm not sure what the Force powers are there for, but Force Shield w/Force Sheathe would do good for keeping you alive and keeping your energy up.

You have Nanobot Swarm, a power primarily designed to cut cooldowns, but your only power that HAS a cooldown is Nanobot Swarm. As a burst heal, you would do much better with Resurgence.

Honestly, and I hate to something like this but, I would shelve this character and play something different until respec costs get fixed, or just start over...

Lol thanks, that's exactly what I was expecting to hear so thanks for the confirmation!

Luckily, I should be getting the pre start free respec so can adress most of the issues then. Think it's pretty obvious I just flew blindly into it :p

The reason I picked the force powers was primarily for some dps and because it kinda suits the character.

Thanks again!
