[QUOTE="Nibelung, post: 6711953, member: 74499"] [b]Originally posted by erleni:[/b] [CENTER][Size=4][b][COLOR=#ff0000]Builds[/COLOR][/b][/size][/CENTER] Currently the number of available builds is low. Some trends start to emerge, tough and I'll try to showcase them. [COLOR=#ff0000]Unkillable Builds[/COLOR] These builds exploit the inherent toughness of the Bleak Disciples, based on THP generation, insubstantiality and invisibility, and that of the Revenant race. ShakaUVM's Mrs. Tough Guy (beware the picture - remember I warned you):(x) this is a paragon build that can eat up a lot of damage and win the battle by outlasting its enemies. [COLOR=#ff0000]Coup de Grace builds [/COLOR]These builds look at the Coup de Grace mechanic to slay targets outright. Psk20's Black Ice Slayer(x): here the rogue power Knockout is used to make the target helpless and CDG is made with Every Trick in the book. Aside from that, this is also a solid Nightstalker build, where the main defense is being hidden as much as possible. My Headsman:(x) a Bleak Disciple Coup de Grace Build. It has good melee resistance and solid damage for an assassin, including a daily nova that can kill high level solos, using Hurricane of Blades (with an AP and Soul Thief's Action). [COLOR=#ff0000]Hybrid Builds[/COLOR] Something is moving in this area after the rules came out. Nox_Noctis' Assassin|Rogue/Warlock/Evermeet Warlock:(x) with this build you'll be able to hide better than Nessie. [COLOR=#ff0000][b]Covenant Agent builds[/b]:[/COLOR] Psk20's Covenant Agent:(x) this build is using the Covenant Agent PP to go for crit-fishing with OoE, Two Weapon Opening and the nice multi-rolls encounter powers of the assassin. [COLOR=#ff0000]Other builds[/COLOR] Chanter Hound's Cheshire Cat:(x) an 11th level build with the Chameleon PP. Squad's Charging Assassin:(x) here a good DPR is reached by charging optimization and overall mobility to ensure you can charge as often as possible (encounter powers go for control mainly). [COLOR=#ff0000] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
