Energy/Sonic blapper build - missing anything?

[tristanLV]

I've been intrigued by this combo for awhile and wanted to give it a try. I'm just going to assume I have a small purple or buffs at any given time to get softcapped to S/L/E/R (and almost N). This build will stay in melee range most of the time so I can get the most out of Disruption Aura. I think the KB->KD procs will do enough mitigation to keep me alive by the time I can finish a Nova->EB->DW->ET rotation. Any suggestions?

It might be better to lead with ET as you hop in and Nova as mobs are trying to get back up.

 

I'm not a fan of melee blasting with hover, preferring combat jumping for the immob protection and the mobility. Melee blasting is not about staying in melee range all the time and there are plenty of powers that do -fly and immob, but if you can make it work with hover more power to you.

 

As for the build itself it's fine. There are some tweaks you can do here and there to get to the softcap at the expense of recharge but the build shows focus and I don't see anything glaring that needs attention.

so, i dont know offhand cast time on nova, but...

 

ct target, nuke/alpha, ct back 30 feet, cone?

I found Air Superiority was key for my Blappers to juggle bosses and keep blappin’ away.

As an alternative, hover and combat teleport address immobility and quick positioning, especially with binds! 🙂
