# 1 a Lvl 40 Power Armor build (pve/pvp) - need advice

I have not done a ton of pvp so all advice is much appreciated. I also want the build to work for PvE and it seems just having a good AoE or two solves that problem.

I've read Pulsewaves thread - http://forums.champions-online.com/s...ad.php?t=91313
and KenpoJuJitsu3 thread - http://champions-online.proboards.co...lay&thread=564

The build is pretty close, I'm just not sure how to increase the damage. I use to have Unbreakable but I replaced it for Enrage, which I can almost permanent with Super Int that yields +20 Damage when I get 6 stacks of Defiant.

Stats:
Str 25
Dex 20
Con 125
Int 172
Ego 20
Pre 10
Rec 127
End 176

Looks like a chest beam spam build. Shoulder launcher is good for PvE as an alpha strike, but in pvp I wouldnt use it. If you are looking to up damage, id suggest adding minigun somewhere with the adv, really adds up the damage when used with chest beam.

Think I should drop Enrage for Minigun+adv?

I've had some success in pvp with Shoulder Launcher as it is kind of a sneaky attack because you can move during the charge up and the animation is minimal.

*EDIT*

Wow, yea Mini-gun with ADV is a huge debuff, bummer it only last 4 seconds.

Here's where I have this guy now - I have four powers left to pick.

Note to self Concussor Beam does not work in pvp, it constantly drops lock-on.

Just a note.

Drones + IDF both reduce your energy quite a bit, and PA is an energy hungry power set.

I'd recomend just Protection Field, which will return energy as it aborbs damage, and Conviction, which heals and adds hitpoints. If your INT is high enough you can macro those two together into one button press and and cover most the cost with the MSA return when using them. THe bubble aborbs initial hit, the extra hitpoints of conviction aborbs some, then when you refresh the conviction heals up anything the two didnt stop before. If dark transfusion is more of a back up energy burst, it can still work well with this combo. I use all 3 on my FC build, and will probably do all 3 on my PA when I hit 40.


As for concussor beams and rockets. Are some very good T4 PA spike builds that run them. THey don't run Defiance though. They run in Avenger to get the extra damage boost, along with Chest Beam.

I maybe wrong, but there may be a glitch with shoulder Launcher that make them work really well versus dodge. Heard some chat about that once. Have not had time to test it. Maybe someone can confirm/
