Clawdia's Build: Claws Fiery Aura Brute [Post Sunset]

Here to protect... or destroy?
So I'm playing around with another new build, my second post sunset character. For now, her name is Clawdia because, well, of her claws as the primary. I do really like the look of her!

I'm not married to her name or anything and will probably pick something else, maybe elemental related once the game is back.

She is a Claws and Fiery Aura Brute with Artic Mastery EPP since the -slow from the cold powersets pair nicely with Burn. She's probably going to be one of the first toons I'll play as the farmer. I think she would do well due to the low endurance cost of Claws and the AoE-ness of Fiery Aura, considering that we'd most likely all be starting over together from the beginning.

I did consider going with Electric Armor instead, but I do have a soft (or warm?) spot for Fiery as it's one of my favorite type of power. Maybe I'll make a Claws/Elect version anyway? Hmm.

Back view

I am thinking her background will be something tech related (obviously from her design) and that's how she has some control over the elements... or something like that. I do know that she's more cyborg than human. Maybe she's from the future? Like some future soldier or something. Or even PPD from Pretoria? We'll figure it out later. 

Action shot!

Omph!

As for her build, check it out below. I've never had a claws toon before, so I am not 100% sure of how it plays, though I imagine it wouldn't be too different from the other weapons set. The focus of the build is to be a decent jack of all trades, good for soloing and teaming.

The powers selection.

And some visual stats. 

She's not soft capped or anything, but not too bad either, I think? Here's the datalink if you want to download it to Mids.

And yep, she's hanging out in the city. I logged into Paragon Chat for a bit to futz around. Can I say how much I wish the game is back? I finally have a computer that can handle all the graphics setting pumped to the max.

The music made me super duper sad, like a punch in the gut. But running around wasn't as bad because it's a brand new character that I've never played before, so the attachment factor wasn't there. Now, if I was playing Ms Ann or Zazza (who was sort of my main before sunset) would be a whole nother story.

Anyway, have a Happy New Years! Stay safe and have fun! Here's to hoping that the good news will come in 2016!

Meet Electradoll, Electric Armor & Electrical Melee Tanker

Does she look familiar?
This feels a little weird. This is my first entry on a post-sunset character. Yes, I know there were re-builds, like with Ms Ann's. And deciding on the new main, an SD/FM Tanker, but the difference is that re-building is just selecting new powers, though the concept is still the same and playing with builds is just that, because I really don't even have a name or a concept for the new main. She's just a build at this point and doesn't even have a face. This one feels weird because she does actually have a face, name, and a background!

I was thinking back to the If the City Came Back... (also had a little screenshot hint there too) entry on February 12 on my plans for the Tanker Project, specifically the Electric Armor tank that I would be rolling. I decided on pairing her with the Electrical Melee, because why not? Most of my elemental-ish primaries have been paired with it's melee counterpart (like Tropica and Iceminx), so I thought it was a good idea to try the Electric sets together.

And then... Electradoll happened. Here's the visuals on her build:

Just going for the cheap, because don't have much experience with Electric Armor.
So I didn't really try to soft cap and I wasn't too sure how to build her out or what's useful (other than what I can determine from the descriptions), because I have never rolled an Electric Armor before. I kind of sort of imagine that she will play similarly to Dark Armor, Fiery Armor, and Ice Armor - in that it will be endurance heavy, that I have to find other means to mitigate damage, and it might be a rough ride up for a tanker.

And the extras.
At least I am somewhat comfortable with the Elec Melee, so I can try to manage the deficiencies that way. Probably. Also, EM is a really fun melee set. Here's Mid's Data Link if you want to check it out yourself. Feel free to critique!

Bzzzttzztz goes Electradoll!
So does she look familiar? Other than giving a sneak peek in last week's entry, I mean. She's basically has the same origin as Combustidoll, my Fire/NRG blaster (who was so dang fun to play!). I also had an alt named Flambedoll and Infernadoll. If I recall correctly, they were supposed to be a fire project of sorts (if you can't already tell), but I think I can make an exception for Electradoll.

They're all a part of the same malfunctioning (or not?) doll collection that was created by one of my tech genius alts that got deleted (I think she was a controller of some sort). I just loved playing as these little dolls. They are on the shortest end of the height slider and packs a HUGE punch!

When the game comes back and if the Electradoll name gets taken, that's fine. I'll just think of something else electrical related that ends with "-doll." I guess people are not too keen on playing as toys!
