    Fire^3 Hover Blaster

    Well, endurance is easy, slot up cauterizing aura not for heals but for endurance recovery and you should be all set. That power gives a lot more base endurance recovery than stamina. Slotting the blaster sustain for heal is pretty inconsequential for the most part, the extra bit of heal/regen is so tiny that it won't save you in any fights where you need that heal.

     

    Hovering in melee is a play style choice and I've seen people do ok with it. The thing to remember is that mobility is key for a melee blaster. If you are slow to move or if you are immobilized in the thick of the action you will most likely die. If anything I would dig deeper into the fly pool and get evasive maneuvers so you have a bit more mobility and -fly protection to hover in and out of combat.

     

    Few other general guide lines

    1 - If a power can take defense sets always consider slotting a Luck of the Gambler 7.5 global recharge IO, unless you already have 5 of those slotted

    2 - If a power can take knockback sets and has a longer than 10 second recharge always consider a force feedback +recharge proc

    3 - If you are building for recharge set bonuses, when you get the bonus STOP, slots beyond that are generally not worth it (there are exceptions), put those slots to use elsewhere

    4 - Same thing can be said for just about any other set bonus you choose to focus on as part of your build goals.

     

    Slight tweak to your build, a bit more consolidations on your set bonuses that's laser focused on recharge and a bit of range defense. Dropped melt armor for evasive maneuvers for more mobility, and tweaked slotting to give you more global accuracy to hit +4s better. You were using the PVP +3 defense IO but missing the steadfast protection +def unique so I fit that in. I skipped the shield wall unique among some other PVP IOs since you are trying for a budged build but you can look to fit those in when you feel like making an investment in this character.

    This looks great. Thank you!

     

    I get that hover blasting isn’t conducive to melee, like I said above, it’s about movement rather than range. I like the omnidirectional movement, it just plays better for me.

    Hover is more about movement, I prefer how it handles in combat vs jumping or running. I usually am close to the fight to use the aoe attacks then back off for single target while stuff is recharging.

     

    my build goal would be endurance and survivability so I can keep the dps flowing. Rise is good just in case I grab too much aggro and get vaporized.

     

    I usually am on a team and I’m not looking for all purple/hyper optimized. Like I’d like to know what can be done to improve this (slotting and enhancements) then what would be the 2b influence/infinite money upgrade?

     

    thanks!

    I used a few fire/fire/fire hover blaster builds as a reference, but here is something I put together. I'd like to retain the power selections (though I can take or leave Melt Armor). 

     

    What I really would like help with is slot assignment and enhancements. 

     

    Thank you!
