So I’ve been playing one of the fluffy pet builds (RIP) but my fiance apparently watched me playing too much, got the game themself, and wants to play with me so I need another character. I want to try a build I’ve never done before, which means having no idea exactly what I’m looking for. They don’t really care about crucible so I guess the main goal is being able to facetank the Ulti gods (hence the shield), since I guarantee they’re going to be playing a character made out of paper (they like to shoot things with guns). They will likely eventually get bored though so I do need to be able to kill said god without help most likely.
Ok so maybe not the best description ever but you likely know what I mean. Hold down LMB, walk into things, they die (eventually?). As many procs as you can fit, toggle buffs, maybe an active buff or two?
I’ve been hunting around but it’s a lot to sort through, the general ones I see pointed out are Warder (but apparently they take forever to kill anything), Deathknight, and Warlord (although I haven’t seen anything concrete on them yet since they are new, but both trees have shield skills?). Basically anything with soldier. Would it be possible for somebody to point me in the right direction?
Depends what kind of items you have,but can’t go wrong with Warlord,sturdiest combo in the game.Cadence or Righteous fervor at left button,plus a lot of wps and also retaliation.Take on block constellations,bind them to permanent buffs like field of command and you will can have very easy to pilot tank:p.
Didn’t think to mention that, I have nothing as far as items go. My highest character is only 30, and either way they want fresh chars since they have absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t have thought of retal honestly.
Retaliation Warlord is what you’re looking for. Get to 100% shield block, max out Ascension and Overguard so you can alternate them, equip retaliation mods on everything, and then abuse the heck out of Retaliation Damage Added to Attack.
You’ll be basically unkillable, and anything that attacks you with melee will die instantly. Your fiance can help burn down the ranged attackers that don’t activate your retaliation procs.
Thanks, will look through it. What’s your opinion on cadence vs ferver? The few times I’ve tried to play anything involving cadence I found the skill fairly unfun.
Yet to try RF,but they are close.Cadence and soldiers are not fun or flashy,but the die hard and do the job.If you play with another player Soldier can tank it,so even more reason to use it.Note that fervor will interact better with wps,but Cadence should have more raw damage:undecided:
I wouldn’t say they aren’t fun, but flashy? Yea. I just don’t like the 1 2 3 style for cadence. I’m wondering how far I can actually go with this before hitting a wall though =/ I am not exactly a planning genius.
If you don’t like Cadence play with Forcewave.Personally after levelling from 1 to 100 full Cadence I was sick of it:D.So Forcewave with cast speed(little boring,too) is option.I am yet to try fervor.Acid,combine with Nightblade wps sounds cool.
