What's Your Setup?

[Prophecy]

So, not every Bio uses it's elites. Not all of us have them. So what setup do you have for yours? What runes inside? Here's mine:

Weapon:
Angelic Sun Hammer
Hammer Damage +9%.
1 Handed Damage +8%.
Hammer Damage +9%.
1-Handed Damage +9%.

Angelic Dreadmark

Not the best, but as a Level 50 Human Bio Middle-Tree I've been able to solo most of the game. I'm still trying to figure out what to put in my last slots. My stats end up being Final Melee Damage 2470, and Defense 1987.

Now for a side question out of our setups. For mine, should I do Strength runes and increase that? Then maybe some dodge?

I'm a cybernetic Bio-Engineer, so often times it's a pain to find a piece of equipment that has space for runes to customize and contain runes already that I don't mind.

The Flesh Architect's Incisor
Damage 4483 (2299 +95%)
Mastery: Idunn's Wish +1
Battle Cry Damage +5%
Spider Effect Radius +20%
Necrotized +5%

Dark Provoker of Ventilation
Damage 331 (261 +27%)
Slug Damage +9%
Rifle Damage +9%
Dexterity +39%
Slug Damage +9%

Altruist's Respirator
Armor 142
Attack Speed +10%
Staff Damage +10%
Loot Drop Chance +5%
Staff Damage +10%

Altruist's Articulated Ballistic Chestplate
Armor 158
Health +10%
Total Armor +17%
Total Armor +17%
Total Armor +20%

Ageless Jotun Manipulator Chassis of Protection
Armor 172
Total Armor +13%
Bio Engineer Regeneration +5%
Ballistic Resistance +4%
Sentient Duration +20%

Altruist's Articulated Hand Cladding
Armor 158
2-Handed Damage +15%
Attack Speed +10%
Health +10%
Loot Drop Chance +5%

Altruist's Bodyplate Leg Cladding
Armor 158
Total Armor +17%
Staff Fierce Damage +20%
Health +10%
Staff Fierce Damage +18%

Aesir Boots of Annihilation
Armor 179
2-Handed Damage +15%
Staff Fierce Damage +20%
Staff Damage +10%
Loot Drop Chance +5%


So with this set up I have 2-Hand Damage capped at 30%, Staff Damage Capped at 30%, the Staff Fierce Damage capped at 50%, Loot Drop at 15% Capped, Armor +84% (not counting talents), and Health +30% (again, not counting talents). I really need to find some aesir shoulders, because they're my weakest piece atm and I'd like to customize them, since the Bio Regen isn't really helpful, could up the total armor +%, and add in different runes then ballistic resist/sentient duration (probably more +10% health, to cap them at +50%).

Seems to work out great for me soloing, my staff fierce attack averages for about 11k, melee from 3.5k-5k range normally. Went middle tree so the battle cry heal/spider absorb helps as well.

I would suggest you start slotting orange/red runes if you can, easier to build on armor (and save extra slots when you cap out quicker), HP, and weapon damage or whatever. Like for example, you have 3 runes with +9% attack speed, its not huge, but 3 orange versions with +10% would take up the same space, but give you that extra 3% and cap it out. or if you could find some red runes with +hammer damage 15%, you would only need two, and they would total to more than the 3 purple runes you have slotted currently.

I just realised, being Human/Bio, how utterly poor the design of the set is....

Currently I am running with 2 random reds (hammer & plasma rifle) and the rest orange. Simply hoping that I'll find some good armors with free runeslots, since again, the set armor is horrible for my middle tree... gg SK

Now for a side question out of our setups. For mine, should I do Strength runes and increase that? Then maybe some dodge?

What I would do to flesh out what you have so far is, assuming that you have 10 points into Hero's Heart (attack speed increase) is cap out Total Armor (if it's not capped out already), Attack Speed, 2-Hand Damage, and Strength. Putting +dodge in there doesn't seem very effecient at all in this game as rolling mitigates all damage incoming to you.

After capping those I out, I would normally throw in some +Loot Drop increases and the specific weapon damage i.e. +Hammer Damage etc. I just haven't found a worthwhile weapon to add those increases into yet.

But the most important aspect to remember is....play and set up how you want to. I just posted what I would do and already do with my Bio. Experiment and have fun. What's the worse that can happen? You add something that you didn't like? Oops, eventually you'll find either a better piece to upgrade or the same one you have, and then you'll have a second chance; assuming again you're farming for the Elite set. =D

[Prophecy]

As for the Attack Speed, and Armor, Armor is maxed at 90% well the attack speed is 27%. I don't use a 2-handed weapon at the moment, although I found one I may use. My Loot is capped at the 15. Once the marketplace is back I'm going to try and buy some runes from people. Until it reopens it gives me enough time to grind some bounty. (I can just barely craft a elite, if I even had one..) I'll be making a new armor set soon.
