Title: Iron Man
Post by: filcher on March 28, 2010, 06:14:30 PM
I was attempting to build an Iron Man type hero.  I looked at Blasters but they seem a bit too squishy.  None of the melee classes (Scrapper/Tank) have the ranged attacks.  Defenders and Controllers just dont seem to be the right fit.  Then I took a look at PB's...ranged attacks, check, damage resistance, check.  Now, of course, it isn't a perfect fit but it comes the closest, IMHO, of all the AT's to replicating Iron Man's power sets. 

Soooo the question is how would you build a PB to be most like Iron Man?  I assume taking either of the Forms (Nova/Dwarf) is out.  And, unlike most human-only PB's, this build would use most of the ranged attacks.

Going with the ranged attacks and limited status protection it would seem a good idea to try and boost ranged/aoe defense. 

I worked up a build in Mids but with the newest update Ninja Run has eaten Energy Flight!  So the defense numbers are a bit off due to not having a full set of Zephyr's in EF (I just dropped the slots in Sprint and left them empty).  Take a look and let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Clever, and well built.... However I do think Tony Stark would crap-a-cow if he discovered you traded tech for an alien symbiont. lol

Keep in mind that BotZ set bonuses will be reduced in Issue 17, so Mids' numbers on those are a little off (by half, I think?)
