Elly's Build/Combos/Gear, need opinions.

^Not gunna quote that monster again, but referring to it...

I use a similar thing, except without Neutron Stomp. I find that I'm a more efficient Commando when I use long-range skills so I don't have to waste time getting close, and when I'm to the side, Singularity never scatters enemies. It's a lot easier to control mobs from a distance, from my experience. I love bringing old-school PL luring into SL by grabbing as many enemies as I can without resetting any, so usually a room and some adjacent mobs.

Oh, and I spam Graviton Slam at all times due to it's crazy efficienty. It's officially my favorite Commando skill

This build is only good if you're in a great party, or you'll be using tons of pots, or you'll always be lying on the ground.

I tried this build with random party... not working. spent a lot of pots.

I respec and put points on Increase Mass, Vigor and Kinetic... much more effective overall.

Yeah, it's definitely more pot costly if solo, though I do did it quite effective as well

For a pot saving build, probably better if you use Punk's build

Friends know I can solo well with this build

I tried soloing earlier with this build, It is effective but will use a lot of pots. But when it comes into dmg and combo, this is a best build hands down.

I just hate it when im out of pots and I'm in the middle of the room with lots of mobs.

Ooo I know what you mean. Fortunately I'm lucky enough to have enough disposable credits for pots to solo with. Damage enhancers don't hurt either

Out of curiosity, are you using a 2h or a shield?

.

I used both, if there are good Engineer then I go 2h. If the party is without one then I go with shield.

Now im using your first combo.. Gravity Well -> Graviton Slam -> Neutron Stomp -> Singularity... and im loving it. This is my first slot.

I have:

Singularity = 6
Gravity Well = 6
Kinetic Reservoir = 5 (To make up with lots of combo)
Increase Mass = 3 (needed if the party is not that good)
Growing Rage = 6
Neutron Stomp = 1
Vigor = 1 (enough to regen when running)

That's what i have right now. But im still experimenting, learning... etc.

BTW... thank's for the guide... very helpful

[Ellyidol]

Glad to have helped

Do you think 3 IM is useful? I'm just concerned more of the penalty if you don't max it. It's like adding more survivability then subtracting survivability, so it's like nothing. Lol

LoL. yeah, i just realized that. I made it 6 now... i respec again. lol

Now i have:

Singularity = 6
Gravity Well = 6
Increase mass = 6
Growing rage = 6
Kinetic Reservoir = 2
Vigor = 1
Neutron Stomp = 1
Graviton Slam = 1

I might change this later if it wont work. I just don't want to spent a lot of pots and I'm not using enhancer. I guess this is my poor's man build

Let us know how it goes

I don't mean to degrade Punk's build, but his is a really good 'poor man's' build, pot saving

[Cloudstripe]

It did quiet well. I only used once or twice blue pots but it's ok.

I really love your combo, we were killing much faster with a party that I'm the only lv30 and we are only 3

Thanks again for the help.

Sounds good!

Thanks as well

Join a good guild with active runs and you'll lower your Stim purchases a ton. I joined V For Vendetta recently, and with 10-15+ players usually online, we have runs going most of the time. Even with 0 points in Kinetic Reservoir and Vigor, I use an incredibly low number of Stims/PowerPacks. And I still do my job effectively

Agree

Or just make good friends with good players (it's quite easy to spot the good from the bad), and try to play with them as much as you can.

My record is just two mana stims for one run in slouch map 3

Thank's for the build. I love it. As a long time engineer (and as someone who went through PL with nothing but a mage) I've found it exhilarating in sloucho ever since about 28 or so. Damage potted it's a menace. And I had no idea, so few commandos seem to do the good'ol beckon&stomp thing in SL. But the four skill combo just seems massively efficient, but I must admit, I'm very new to playing commando myself and I haven't really tried any other approaches.

Sure you'll have to pot blue, but I can live it. Either that or do less. Shouldn't be a difficult choice.
