Careful Billz.... You know what they say.  Once you go blaster, you never go... um....  faster?  Does that work?  Not really, but you get what I'm trying to say.  This may change your playing habits, forever. 

 

(btw, Nice build Nemu).

[Bill Z Bubba]

@Nemu That is very pretty. Why flares instead of fire blast? No rain of fire? That is definitely a melee centric build. Nice defense. Are aging touch and future pain really good enough to lean on so heavily?

[Nemu]

Flares animate faster and is better DPA. That .67 seconds gap really irked me on my fire/elec so that's just my personal preference.

 

The melee stuff I took as much for their useful set bonuses as well as for their utility. If you had to skip a melee attack I'd skip aging and that might be the way to fit rain in, since the ATO can be slotted into either attack.

 

Now go and be the manly man that Gotham deserves, or needs, or whatever.

Some comments on the initial build:

 

I *like* the Annihilation set bonuses, but generally I feel like that there are too many slots in Bonfire.

 

I feel that Chronos really ought to have the Gaussian's Build Up proc, preferably with the other 5 pieces from the set as well. You can get 3 slots from Tough by dumping the non-Global pieces of Unbreakable Guard. If I wanted the sixth slot I would steal it from either your Stamina or Maneuvers. (*1)

 

I see what you are trying to do with the Endurance discount, but I feel that the Gladiator's Armor Global should be moved to Fire Shield and paired with it's Resistance piece, which can be boosted.

 

On my /Time, I rarely use the Holds. I see what you are trying for with the Holds, but generally a 4-slot Basilisk's Gaze (for +Recharge) will be more useful than occasionally tossing out Holds... I see the +2 Mag proc, but I think you sort of stepped on it by slotting recharge. I also only single slotted the T1 Time Wall as it simply isn't used and I didn't need a set bonus.

 

When 6-slotting Temporal Healing, I recommend the full 6-slot of Preventive Medicine. The nick-nacks you have slotted there seem concerned with Recovery/Endurance... once you have a couple accolades this will be less of an issue for you.

 

Drop the +Stealth from Fly and put a +Stealth in Sprint instead. Instead, slot a Universal Travel Knockback Protection or Slow Resist in Fly.

 

EDIT : (*1) On my /Time blaster, I have Chronos (6-slotted, with Guassian's) set on Auto. With no incarnates it is triggering every 22 seconds (20 seconds with Hasten) giving me 5 seconds of the power boost PLUS Build Up (from the proc) and another 5 seconds with 'just' the Boost. Folks have criticized me for 'wasting' build up this way, but it would be far more effort than it is worth to have to pay attention to targets and my attack powers and hit the button when I can simply be spamming damage just have the boost trigger on a regular schedule.
