L40, PvE build

**PianoWizzy** · 05-28-2012, 09:30 PM

I have no interest in PvPing as a comm for now, so I'm looking for some commando builds to further optimize my Voleria tanking. I have just hit 40 on my comm and so far have not used the last three abilities XD

Evidently I'm decent anyway but I think there was something about Back Breaker I hear being important.

My current build:
3 3 6 6
5 5 5 6
0 0 0

While tanking I like to use Gravity Well + [that slowing thingy] + Singularity, followed by Stomp once any of them get up.

Could I take in some suggestions for point rearrangement and combos?

Best PvE you can get in my opinion.

Don't need Hammer and Slam because hammer is single target and Slam is directional and not worth the trouble really.

You want pure AOE with the ability to stay alive while grouping the enemies.

Stomp at 1 because you really only need it to knock enemies down for combos or to get them off of you.

Singularity at 4 because it's where I put all my remaining points at the end.

Increase Mass at 6 because you're a tank and need to stay alive when you first run in to a big group. Helps take away that initial shock value of getting hit hard and high before you can use your other skills.

Kinetic reservoir is up to you, you don't need it if you like to use mana packs a lot, but I like the extra mana here and there. If you want more damage, get rid of it for other skills.

Gravity well at 6 because it's your main grouping skill. Use it whenever you need to get everyone in close. If it's anything like PL, the effects of it are stronger when it's higher.

Nebula at 6 because it's fantastic for ticking away health of enemies you're not directly shooting, and it hits very high when comboed with your boosted crit.

Growing Rage at 6 because the crit boost is insane. Use it with Nebula or back breaker combo and you'll take out those high health Mobs easily, while killing everything else around.

Back breaker at 6 because it combos with the 2 skills that knock enemies down for single target massive damage.

Just started playing SL again, but I'll argue anything in this build because I know it's one of the best PvE builds, with the exception of not needing Kinetic Reservoir.

I neglected to mention how much I hate using stims D; Lol. Sounds good, thanks (:

**Flowman** · 05-29-2012, 08:07 PM

shouldn't need too many stims with a good engineer teammate. But no one can give you mana back...which is why I use reservoir.

True, true. I don't like the idea of having to pray I have a decent eng behind me though. XD

hello mate, its how many skill points we put at a skill. you read it like that.

for example:
Skill A, B, C, D
Skill E, F, G, H
Skill I, J, K, L.

this is what it would look like in flow's post
A=0,B=1,C=0,D=4
E=0,F=6,G=4,H=6
I=6,J=6,K=6,L=0

hope this helps!

XD I'm still using it. It's working kind of awkwardly in the Hive because of how fast those cursed facehuggers run but... it's not like I could come up with a better build lol :P

Perfect (: , honestly this would be an ideal com build.
