Recommended Characteristics for all builds

Here is a run-down of the recommended Characteristics for all power sets:

Electricity- Recovery/Endurance

Force- Ego/Endurance

Archery- Dex/Intel

Munitions- Dex/Ego

Dual Blade- Strength/Dex

Single Blade- Strength/Dex

Martial Arts- Strength/Dex

Claw- Strength/Dex

Telekinesis- Con/Recovery

Might- Strength/Con

Supernatural- Con/Recovery

Fire- Presence/Recovery

Ice- Dex/Recovery

Gadgeteering- Intel/Endurance

Power Armor- Strength/Intel

Telepathy- Ego/Presence

Darkness- Con/Endurance

Sorcery- Intel/Presence

I would like to note that just because these are the Recommended Characteristics doesn't mean they are the best for your play style or how you would like to play your character.

Generally these are correct though, but i would recommend playing around with different superstats when you hit level 10 just to see if you like what you have.

Also, in case you didn't know, when you Respec/Retcon you can only Respec your last 10 levels at maximum, but that does mean you can respec the powers that you started the game with, if , by level 10, you feel like you want to try a different power pool, and so long as you don't leave the Powerhouse you can Respec over and over without cost, but as soon as you leave the powerhouse you have to pay to Respec again.

I agree with the evil betty.

Right now I don't think stacking the recommended stats helps unless you have a power that scales with a selected stat. Like lightning reflexes - dex
invulnerability - str/con
personal force field - end/ego
fire form- pre
still don't see how pre would be good in fire, unless it is there to keep you from getting squashed from the threat generated by all the aoe powers.
etc.

If I make a hero with archery i'm pretty sure i would do custom framework and pick the munitions stats. Also End should pretty much be in your top 3 stat priorities no matter what character you are playing, more end more face stomping more charge on the higher end powers, there is lots of pieces of equipment with end thrown in with the other 2 stats you are trying to build up, all this = bueno.

Use the power house after every power purchase you make, will save you resources, and test out different powers.

Yeah. I made a fire guy the other day but I custom framed him to use dex/ego. He was a criting fool and end/rec were my secondary. And as far as forms go. I don't know if electric is like this, but fire and ice forms work with each other, but I believe scale on different stats. U may want to look at that when considering a passive when it comes to elemental and sorcery. I use telekinesis. I took the perk on my darts that procs my ego form and am using the darkness form instead. it's a really good combo. I've found that the game really is about synergy between the framworks

From the patch notes announced 21 Sept,

"Superstats are now hard-capped at 32% damage. "

This is an interesting issue now. Before it was simple...just stack attributes in your two superstats and things get better. But if you are going to cap at 32% (not sure what attribute value that corresponds to), you might want to spread points around some.

the 32% cap is for the Bonus to "All Damage" you recieve from your two Primary Attributes

Right. I did a quick study last night. Saw 16% dmg at 60 attribute and 19% at 71 attribute. Linear fit is a straight line with slope 3/11 and intercept zero, preditcting 32% at an attribute value of 117.

So say you pick Str and Con as superstats. You would want to not wear gear and talent these to exceed 117 each. I interpret this as a 32% cap for STR, and a 32% cap for Con.
