WiP Character Build: The Minotaur (On-Hold)

    I'm really loving the artwork here IK, the cell shading (is that what it's called? Sorry, I've only been skimming the Vault recently so I've barely noticed everything happening around here) is really cool and adds something unique to the build that I really love. There are a few recommendations that I have, mostly based around the presentation and flow of the build rather than the concept and actual content but there is some of that here too.

    Berserker Rage/Mods

    I have to agree with Solyeuse on one matter in particular (really he's said most of what I was going to), the Berserker Rage is just a bit, well I get why you've used it but in my experience the vast number of people are never going to use that in their build. The issue for Xbox/PS4 players is that they just (probably) don't have access to that sort of thing, I know it isn't available on PS4, and that cuts about two thirds of your potential player base down (as well as anyone on 360/PS3). I don't see many PC players adding it in via console, but to be fair that's only because most of the people I know just don't use the console unless it's to take screenshots or fix something.

    Tsun's Armour is 100% fine, it's even available on PS4 (and when it's there, it's on everything) but you really should link to a mod that adds it in, at least on PC or whatever your console is. I'd really recommend always posting links to mods if your using something that has to either be modded in or added using the console, just so people can access it easier.

    Really, what part of Beserker Rage is it that makes you want to use it? Secret of Protection covers the more defensive portion of the skill and I honeslty don't see this build needing much of a damage buff (though Marked for Death would work perfectly). With that combination you wouldn't really need Berserker Rage for anything. 

    Font Size

    So this is just something that really bugs me, I don't know if it's just a personal pet peeve or something (if nobody else comments on it then leave it) but I am thrown off by the different font and size that you've used. I know that I shouldn't be (Size 12 TNR isn't exactly uncommon) but when the entire Vault uses a smaller, different text it just makes your build feel...a little off somehow. Now that I've said it, the whole issue just feels wrong, but I thought I'd mention it as something to be aware of, most of us are so used to looking at content at a certain font size and with a certain font that the difference can be quite jarring and might turn people off the build.

    Keep it if you want, I'm not saying it's a bad thing really, just a little strange to see.

     

     

    Other then that, I have to second everything Solyeuse on everything he said, though since it's a WiP I won't harp on about it at all, just mention that all their advice is really great. This is a pretty interesting build, I'm always down for some Minatour action, and this build seems really cool. Keep working on it mate, you just have to fix up the first part (which could be as simple as linking to a modd that adds Tsun's Armor and trying to think of a replacement for Berserker Rage) and think about the second.

    Just an edit guys, the build's going on hold for a while while I get my new story series downpat. It should come up sooner or later, and I'll get back to editing this build in a while!
