City of Heroes build

[Maelstrom]

Nobody asked, but here's my Technology Tanker, as represented in City of Heroes. Note that in the game, he wears a powered force-field-driven battle suit, but since nobody can get him out of it during gameplay, I haven't taken any focus limitation for it.

 

He has foci, however. Enhancements and Inspirations are things you pick up in battle. Inspirations are one-shots, but you can carry 20 of the darn things. Enchancements fix to power slots, and stay there until replaced or modified.

 

Here's MAELstrom 260:

Re: City of Heroes build

 

Note that at the time of the build, MAELstrom 260 is 30th level.

 

And I forgot the "Detect Villain's Stun Status". But you get the idea.
