Its cooldown is really short out of the box so yah its like a 2.3 second recharge.... Dark, Elec, or Plant would work honestly. Elec though I think is too slow to lockdwn for it, but that's just my opinion. Savage is such a fast paced set...

This is exactly what I thought when deciding between Ice vs electricity... it's so misleading 😞

Is this a question of OR or WHEN? If it's when, get the alpha first. if it's OR - assuming because you want to Use either Musc+another Hybrid or Assault+anotheralpha, you'll get more damage from Hybrid than from the Alpha -- while the Hybrid is up.

Nobody ever expects the end drain from Carnies >: (

Well, the cool thing is you won't have to worry about end with anything you do... 😛 GOOD TIME TO BRING OUT THE DARK ARMOR.

I guess you can do something like this...

Mobs hate debuffs in general.

I actually think the first build is pretty great - although I'd play around with the healing slotting a little bit.

I like Grav/Savage - but purely for the mass teleporting of things/yourself that happen (Savage Leap has like a 2.5 second recharge...)

If I buff you (usually sonic shields), it's because I'm trying to find a color pattern between the 2 shields that looks cool. Don't take it personal. 😜

What, I can't leave Sonic Repulsion on the 90% resist all/55% defense all tankers? 😞 I used to be really into all that GATHER FOR BUFFS, BUFFS FOR ALL, NoOo they're missing a shield!!! stuff. Now I just go about my day and if you're there, you're there. If you're not, you shoulda been.

You know, I'm not sure I know what you're referring to anymore. What Slows? If you're talking about about the first build, those weren't put in there for the slow. But I also clearly stated I don't like hotfeet - and the op didn't plan on standing around for hot feet to do damage.

Got it. The fast shape shifting available here is really quite fun. At least keep that in mind should you ever do a WS lol it feels great 🙂

I’m just curious - not that human PB isn’t a build, but what makes you want to play PB if you hate the forms? i understand people that have played pb and want to go the human only route, but never playing it and going into it as a human only mindset seems like a lot of fun to miss. anyways, you can build perma light form in human and be tanky.

It works that way with everything - if ranged is your highest, any attack that’s flagged as RANGED will use that defense. Hence why we can avoid melee all together, since you won’t be in melee to ever need it. There are some attacks that are not positional- these ones will go through ranged, but they’re not common. burn is chosen because it’s a beast. You can put anything there really, but melt armor is just really weak on blasters due to their debuff modifiers.

If a Lethal Attack is RANGED, and your RANGED is higher than your LETHAL, then your RANGED defense will be used in place of your lethal for determining if they hit or not. Same for smashing.

Uhhhhh

Interestingly, I am on 2.7.2.10

I hate when I see you guys.

Are you wanting attacks? Procs? You can be a proc monster with capped defense with pet bubbles...

See that space between tanker and scrapper there? 😛

Yah your 3 in Scream are orange, not purple. Fix by using 3x Enhancement Catalysts.

I'll try to help, again using your build. But I'll help explain some more so maybe it will make a little more sense. 1. Our main goal here is Ranged defense. You don't plan on being in melee, you don't have any melee except burn. We're going to forego that as a defense. 2. Ring of fire is being used primarily for the IO passives it is giving us - that being said, it does work with BURN to keep them in it. We also don't care about how long immobilizes, so we went the Thunderstrike route for damage instead of Immobilize. 3. The winter sets are great when you use them for specific bonuses, but just because they're a different color doesn't make them stronger - and they're expensive. 4. We're going to get sets that are focused on RANGED DEF first and foremost. We're also going to go for an assumption that we don't have an incarnate yet, which requires us to slot a little more in defense than we might otherwise have to. 5. Stuffing slots into defensives for very little benefit isn't going to get you to where you need to be. So we're going to move those around, probably to Burn. 6. We're going to address your concern (since I'm not sure how good cauterizing aura is at helping end) by adding some of those slots to Health for some extra Recovery -- and we'll add a chance for heal to Stamina to give a little more health, too, while we're at it. Again, incarnates can be used to help if it is a problem. 7. We're going to move blaster ATO into inferno, because it's pbaoe so has mostly Melee defense bonuses - and we want ranged. 8. We're going to then use the ranged Winter set in blaze x5 because that will give us some ranged defense. Note - you can 6slot Thunderstrike here instead and it'll be cheaper 9. We're going to shift over Blazing bolt to sting of the manticore because A) it gives us ranged defense without 6 slots and B) it gives us 7.5% recharge 10. I'm trying to work within the confines of the powers you are choosing, as I am assuming you are choosing them for your own playstyle. That being said, I did change Melt armor to Burn -- because I just don't see Melt Armor doing much for you as a Blaster.

Anyone have one or know where one's at? Maybe doing a new farmer... already have a brute, looking for a tank for mob aggro partner. This works but seems inefficient. Help appreciated.
