Beam Rifle/Atomic build advice

[Yournameonrice]

Looking for some critique for this build.  I am a casual, mostly team player who enjoys endgame stuff but also all the TFs/SFs/Trials throughout the game.  I never solo except for the very rare occasion.

 

Just looking to have a  fairly solid toon that is fun to play, which I think I have mostly accomplished.  But I am wondering if there is anything really obvious that I am missing. 

 

My defenses are mostly capped with a small purple (Neg needs work/slight hole in Psi), but while teaming there is almost always someone else with Maneuvers so...  Resistances are between 20 and 30% (not great but serviceable). 

 

Toon will be mostly ranged with the ability to stand my ground against melee mobs if need be.  Which fits my playstyle.

Edit: Also I forgot I have 3 slots to play with.  Thinking either maybe more +def in the defensive toggles but wondering if I can accomplish anything else worthwhile if I use those slots elsewhere.

 

Edit2:  Forgot to slot for -KB so I now only have 1 slot to spare.  Check my reply for the updated build.

 

This is what I have so far.  Inf is not a concern.  Any ideas?

OK jeez I have already changed it.  Just added KB protection which I forgot.  So now only have 1 slot to play with.

I don't like the %proc in Beta Decay. The final %proc rate is not going to be very good. I have the power much earlier in my build and run it (at 50+) with a single Hami-O Enzyme.

 

For every AT except Masterminds and Crabberminds (and possibly control characters with a LOT of pets), I prefer to have the Gaussian's %BuildUp in an on-demand power (i.e. a click) rather than in an aura (which relies on teammates/henchmen/pets), but I don't feel obligated to rehash that discussion.

 

Is the Reactive Defenses Scaling Resistance global in the build? I feel like that is necessary for any character trying to be 'Tanky".

 

Sincere question: How does the build play if you DON'T use Hasten? I have a Water Blast/Atomic Manipulation blaster that has enough things to do (buttons to match)that I don't feel the need to include Hasten in its build.

 

Another point about me: I almost never take Stealth as anything but a mule, so it wouldn't appear so early if I was building the character. If you wanted such a power this early, I prefer Infiltration. It takes the same mules, and if run toggled on it improves running/jumping (which I consider a Quality-of-Life improvement). On the Blaster I mentioned, Infiltration is that character's travel power (Blessing of the Zephyr – Endurance Reduction/Travel can be used in place of the Hami-O). On other builds I will include a Kismet +ToHit piece here, as I almost always keep the power toggled on. Taking the power early allows more mule slotting as I level up. (subject of course to level requirements of enhancements)

 

Level 4:        Infiltration    
 (A) HO Microfilament – Endurance Reduction/Travel: Level 51
 (*) Reactive Defenses - Scaling Resist Damage
 (*) Luck of the Gambler – Defense/Recharge Speed

 

Final, subtle point about the choices in Health. Health -- Pnc-Heal/+End(A), Mrc-Rcvry+(42), NmnCnv-Regen/Rcvry+(43)

 

I see what the approach is with the three globals, but it is rare (for my level 50 builds) that adding only (i.e. not as part of a set) the Numina's Convalescence global +Regen/+Recovery piece has a noticeable effect. For this character, it is likely that the extra Recovery is having the largest effect on play... but it is possible that simply moving that slot to a high-Endurance cost toggle (and slotting with some Endurance reduction, possibly in combination with another attribute) would end up offering an improved profile for the blue bar. A simple way to test this is to use an unslotter to pull the piece our of the slot and play for a day with it unslotted. FWIW on high-HP Tankers I would (at least) 2x slot Numina's in Health with the second piece being a straight Heal/Absorb, but Blasters are a different beast.
