Right on, yea I absolutely need to put in the hours to decide on a final build. I do have a lot of recovery in the sets but yea, it might not be enough. This is my first character that is hoverblasting and I'm awkward but getting better. Makes me think tho, maybe just go for ranged defense. There are plenty of less expensive sets that offer it. Also I noticed Time Stop has -regen and I wonder if it might be more usefull against AVs than MA. I'm really not sure. Anywhoo, happy splashing! I love water so far

My first pass at an expensive build. S/L def softcapped, nrg at 43.5% (i had it capped but sacrificed some for a major boost to fire/cold) Got Hasten down to 7.4 seconds down. Not sure if Chronos makes it perma or not. Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

I too am on the hunt for a good non-farming water/time build. my guy is only 25 atm but I like to plan ahead. I'm about to spend time on Mids and maybe I'll post what I come up with if I'm satisfied. I thought I'd offer thoughts/tips tho. I'm no pro but I do play a lot :) As a blaster with good aoe you can easily melt away minions and often lts too. For that reason I think Melt Armor is of very little use in this build (plus it's recharge is long). Time Shift is a little more useful but really just as an "oh sh**" power. A celerity stealth in SS = invis. I'd say that makes Stealth useless but having a spot for a LotG recharge is allways usefull. Bonfire? I get it, it's super fun with the kb to kd IO in it. I think you're good on aoe tho (plus thematically it makes no sense 8) ) I allways go Def>Res when Setting. I'll make S/L a priority and Energy next because a lot of endgame has energy. Because of above point I'll be going Mace mastery and most likely just getting Scorp Sheild. I know you're pretty set on fire but I had to say. If you are set on fire I would recommend Char and picking up Time Stop. If a boss gets in your face (as they do) you can pretty quickly hold them. Slotting for damage procs they can do decent damage too. Water Blast has great ST and AOE damage and we probably don't need any of the mele range stuff from the secondary. I'm still a lowbie and need to see how it feels, but I'm guessing I'll end up getting Future Pain, with procs it should do great damage and help me with those Bosses that get too close. End of Time I'm not sure if I'm gonna get, maybe if I have room for an "oh sh**" power. I'm off to work on a build, hope this helps you, it's my 1st post!! 🙃
