[how are blasters supposed to solo?]

As a blaster, for large groups of mobs, I use something to root enemies to the ground then nuke hard. Enemies usually have stronger melee attacks than ranged...so you can hit them from a distance with flight/hover on.

 

When you get your "big aoe nuke" I find that a blaster's best defense is to nuke hard as possible to take out as many enemies as possible as quick as possible so they don't get to hit you. Then clear up the remaining mobs. You are a glass cannon after all 🙂

[Blaster Farming]

All asteroid hover farms:

 

I have an ice/ice blaster with blizzard/ice storm and the Pyro judgement. I also use the speed power that allows you to reset all your power cooldowns. I can drop 2/3 groups in an asteroid farm in seconds with it. Blizzard/Ice Storm > Pryo > more blizzard and ice storm.

 

I'm quite partial to my Psi/Psi blaster too...the PBAOE is pretty darn strong. Can nuke every 30 seconds or so.

 

Last blaster I'm using is a plant/plant one...the Creepers power draws in piles of additional mobs to aoe down. I combine it with confuse to have them nuking each other.

 

Oh and on fire blasters don't bother with the auras...it causes mobs to run.

[Storm Blast needs help, bad.]

Overall I like the feel of this set and enjoy playing it. I have two minor quibbles:

 

1. Cloudburst's slow cast time and slow time to get to the target are a bit of a pain. Most of the time the target is dead before it lands. Maybe reduce the cast animation time slightly and get rid of the travel time to get to the target. 

 

2 Storm Cell is ok, but is slow to follow so you end up recasting it again and again. If it followed you a bit more closely or worked like a pet it might be better.

 

That said I really enjoy the set...it's fun to play with and I found the AOE pretty devastating, though it takes a little while to "brew up", meaning that in larger teams it probably isn't great.

 

LOVE the look of Direct Strike 🙂

[Energy/Plant Build?]

Anyone got an Energy/Plant blaster build? I can't see anything out there at the moment. I'm looking for something ranged (not a melee fan). Any pointers welcome.

[Secondary Choices for a Fire Blaster]

Temp seems to be default choice for the "best bang for your buck" in many builds. I like Fire/Fire myself for thematic purposes but temporal "seems" like a good all rounder. I'm sure the experts would give you the numbers 🙂

 

[Seismic/Stone Build]

Anyone got a Seismic/stone build done yet? I'm messing around with it and it seems fun but I've no clue what I'm doing with slotting.

[Oro Crystal Bug]

Figured it out. You have to do a certain tip mission first or you can't access her as a contact. You can use the LFG tab but it won't allow you to start the mission unless you have done the tip! Mystery solved

 

[Oro Crystal Bug]

Minor bug in the Oro Crystal. I'm on red side and the first arc in the Pandora's Box arc won't open. See image, it just stays at "accessing...".

 

 

[Elec/Elec Build]

I'm looking for a strong elec/elec build with decent defences and focused on ranged attacks. Cost isn't an issue so purple sets are fine. Anyone got a good one?

 

I prefer to stay at range if at all possible.

[Build Request, Rad/Rad]

Great, thanks! Lots to think about! I prefer Hover/Flight/AB as my movement powers but a bit of shuffling and I should come up with something.

 

[Build Request, Rad/Rad]

So, I'm not the best at the whole build thing. Does anyone have a Rad/Rad sentinel build they could post? Budget isn't an issue so go wild :)

 

Thanks!
