Defender: Builds

Good morning chaps, I am just curious to confer with my fellow support class chaps on good Titan builds for defender and and an exotic to centre them around. I aim to be an Orb of Light generator for the team (Who else is disappointed that ward perk only generates 3 extra orbs?). There are three exotic armour pieces I am aware of that can help defenders. The gauntlets on sale now. Boosts force barrier. Alpha lupi chest which is a support piece, extra orbs and revive speeds. Helmet (forget name) that blinds people that enter bubble. Now a team mate of mine has the chest piece and whilst nice seems like better placed for more offensive supers. The helmet seems better suited for PvP and doesn't fit in with my requirements. I've gone with the gauntlets because for the melee kills grant orbs (subclass perk). The longer duration boosts and increased melee speed would benefit that ability. Something that I've been working on whenever a boss fight is there I'm on minion mop up duty, charge in and punch finish and can usually generate several orbs that way. So my questions are for the other defenders out there, what is your planned setup for pve (I'm not a PvP player anymore). How do you focus your subclass.

  • I was plesently content with how this build turned out for the VoG. Final boss I was able to tank him, keep him rooted facing me focusing all attention on me whilst snipers could get constant shots off without interuption. The orb generation was very much appreciated as well for holding off mobs whilst defending things. Myself and a Titan striker were able to hold the central access route that spwans dual pratoreons, without instance doing nothing more than alternating punches... was rather funny.

      Basically the same build I was projecting to use before release.... since I have internet issues I cannot yet start working on it. But year, use of the Spike and Silence Grenades for AoE control of enemies. Weapons of Light for added ally damage while taking cover. Bastion for Duration. Illuminated for Orb generation, etc. Other build I was thinking of was a Warmachine Lead Spitter build.

    • I am attempting to build a brute strength survivability-at-all-costs build (mostly out of fun and interest than out of practical necessity), rather than the popular Orb Pooper build. I too found those gauntlets to support my build (extra time for Barrier is nice for survivability too!), but was 2 Coins short of the purchase haha! Next week perhaps :)
