I know this isn't part of your options but Tactical Arrow would synergies very well and is a pretty good secondary for blasters. If your only sticking to the three options I prob would go Energy.

Hey Guys, I'm looking to build a beefy tank with some utility. I thought about Stone/DM due to the Aoe DMG Toggle in stone and the Dark melee utility that comes with it. I have a DA/Staff tanker that I really enjoy a lot and I wanted to make another Tanker. Please critique my build and let me know how I can get better. MY goal is to be as "beefy" as I can get on a consistent base and anything just makes it better but not build defining. Thank you for your time and input, its greatly appreciated.

Wow, thanks @Nemu for an awesome perspective. I really appreciate the effort you put into explaining your thought process. Hopefully I'll retain and make it a point in my other builds. Appreciate it and I will definitely give this a shot.

Hey guys I hope @Nemu sees this and can give me some advice as I have been looking at his posts and how he walks everyone through obtaining their goals, its really helpful so much appreciation for that. I already have this character made IO'd out but its an old build and its a resistance based build. This build I want to be a "Blapper" I know this build may be not up to par but I tried to reach some numbers that could help and I'm still new to how to theorycraft so please pick it apart as much as you can so I can get better with my thought process. Any advice is welcomed. I tried to reach ranged softcap and as much Smashing/lethal as I could think of getting while being "efficient" someone may come along as ask themself, "what in the world did he do." I know and expect it. ITs for higher level content (not hardmode) but more-so running paper missions and higher tier story arcs and just being "the blaster". Thanks a bunch for the advice and looking forward to understanding build making some more. Blaster (Fire Blast - Darkness Manipulation).mbd New.mbd

Hey guys, I'm giving a crack at a blaster I would like to try. I'm really fond of the Tactical Arrow powerset as I have a similar set in TA I really enjoy playing on a defender. I know that they are a bit different between the two but the debuffing aspect is what pulls me to this set. I'm choosing Ice cause the damage potential and the proc options and such and the ST damage it can provide. I'm not married to the primary though, I just haven't ever built a Ice anything yet and have heard good things about it. Below is a build I made and I'm not that great at building them as I'm lost with what sets to use for what benefit etc. Please critique this and give me pointers to look for and work towards. I chased Ranged Defense and that was about it. I'm looking to be ranged and a pseudo debuffer/ST damage dealer for higher end content ultimately. Thank you for your input and help.

Hey guys, I have been looking around the forums and have ben trying to theorycraft another Tanker. I have a Dark/Staff tanker I really enjoy and I wanted to make another one. I'm looking to do Decent dmg while being able to do higher end content, Not consistently but have the ability to. This is what IVe come up with I'm not great at builds and would like some feedback as to what I can change/Modify. Thanks in advanced.

Hey everyone, I just finished leveling my TA/Sonic defender and I enjoy the fast paced and the debuffing it offers. I'm not particularly well at theorycrafting and making builds. Here is my attempt at making something "decent" I would definitely like some insight on how to make it better and I'm open to suggestion. I do however want to keep the epic powers as i hear the power boost helps out a lot. Other then that I'm Open. Thank you all.
