Below is my first pass at a build sheet for my blaster, who is currently level 45.

 

My goals for this build are:

- lots of recharge, so I'm always up and ready to blast

- reasonable def + resistance, so i don't die every fight

- control over blapping. I love the holds (and their debuffs and want to avoid melee)

- contribute to AV fights, so a nice debuff (hence Melt Armour)

 

In my playing so far, I love bonfire, and slotted with Overwhelming Force KB-->KD it's great soft control, so I can pew pew pew while they fall over.

I'd also like to get instant cast on Blaze 100%. It's awesome when that's up.

 

I've no idea if I've picked the right / best IO's and would like feedback and suggestions please.

Not really. Recharge is higher enough that I always have an attack up. Biggest issues is my defences suck. I’d really like some help in slotting for additional defence.

Here's one of the builds I'm currently considering doing...if my altoholism allows me. Soft-capped ranged defenses and near perma-Hasten.

Is Fire Breath a decent power to use? I know on my Scrapper it's crap.

It's good, especially solo. Coupled with Fireball, it will melt equal level spawns w/o use of aim/build up. You need only to hit two enemies to get more damage per animation second for it to be worth it compared to your low tier blasts. If you have spare slots; build for range. With 60 feet range, the cone will get a much more target rich environment.
