Hi Bud, I think you neglected to post the updated build. :)

Thank you both - very helpful. Cheers.

Hi, I just hit 50 with my Fire/Energy/Mace blaster and am trying to craft a build that gives me decent survival without losing much of my dps potential. I play exclusively in PVE, groups and ranged/hover. My focus has been on ranged def. I haven't hit the defense cap for ranged and this already feels like an expensive build.

These are extremely helpful. I'm new to this AT (despite my heavy altoholism). Can you recommend a rotation/priority system for group play? Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for the all of the builds. Could someone advise me on a rotation/priority for powers for group play?

Hi, I'm new to corr generally and Time specifically so bear with me regarding my newb questions. The OP explained the general rotation as follows: Typical engagement is to go into a pack and pop this off in priority for AoE: Soul Drain > Inferno > Fire Ball > Rain of Fire (Slowed Response when needed) Then this attack chain for AV fights: Blaze - Blazing Bolt - Blaze - Fire Ball - Flares (Slowed Response when available) Thus, despite our ranged abilities, we're in the fray (i.e., melee range) to benefit from Soul Drain and Inferno. Is this true for lvling as well? In terms of our time abilities, I would appreciate all guidance on when to use the various powers. I assume we always toggle Time's Juncture both as a debuff and protection against melee mobs. Correct? Do we open with distortion field for the general slow/hold, jump into melee, pop Farsight for the +hit, +def, then hit chrono shift to buff ourselves and our melee allies? Are we popping Rune of Protection now as well? On the fire side, when do you use Blazing Bolt - is it mostly an AV power? What else am I missing or would be helpful to know? Thanks for all help and advice.

Thanks all for the comments. Some additional questions: If I'm taking Leadership, do I need Aim (I think not)? What works best for KB protection? I somewhat randomly chose Power Mastery for my Ancillary Pool - is there something better/more synergistic?

Thanks so much - extremely helpful and also reassuring. Best @Deadly Bride

Hi All, Defender has been my favorite archetype since European Beta when I played Kin/Rad but I don't recall anything from when I last played. I recently rolled a Kin/Elec with the hope of offering good team support. So far, it seems to be working though it's terrible to solo in large part because my End dies quickly. I'm only lvl 20 because I'm also an altoholic. I have no idea whether the enhancements are affordable (and, honestly, whether the synergy between Kin and Elec makes sense). I know that End becomes less of an issue with Transference but thought Elec may also help with End management. I'd appreciate all thoughts and suggestions on this build. And if you think I've missed the boat on my choice of power sets, let me know.
