Beam Rifle/Devices Lvl 50 Build Advice

[Platonicsolid]

Good morning all and happy new year!

 

Hoping for some advice on level 50 buildout for my main blaster, a Beam Rifle/Devices character with an inventor theme (hence the munitions pool, for instance).

It's been an age since I've done a level fifty build in general, and I was never the best at set slotting. Any advice would be appreciated - have already gotten some feedback from another forum, but want to be really sure before I respect and start blowing lots of inf on enhancements.

 

Thanks!

Hover blasters typically try to softcap ranged defense. You don't need hasten since you will be taking the majority of attacks in your primary so having a smooth attack chain is no issue even without hasten. I'd recommend getting combat jumping even though you are hovering because plenty of enemy attacks do -fly and immobilize and if that happens you'll be a sitting duck unless you burn a breakfree, and I prefer to burn breakfrees for holds/stuns. The below build features high recharge, fairly high HP and regen and assuming attuned IO sets you will be softcapped to both range and energy/neg energy by level 30, and have a complete attack chain.

Thanks! Why boxing, though?

[Nemu]

Because you have to take either boxing or kick to get tough and weave. It doesn't really matter which one you pick.
