If you could only pick 1 Blaster...

I'll shamelessly admit that I have 23 L50 Blasters and I'm not stopping there. So far, Fire/Temp holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first toon I soloed MsLib on +4/8 with. It does amazing ST damage, brutal AoE, and it's just oh-so-smooth to play with. And I also love the fact that it's not a FOTM combo and still holds some uniqueness to it.

 

So, if you had to delete all your Blasters and only keep one... which one would it be?

Ice/ice or ice/time? Whats the difference between the two? /ice has lots of blappery powers

Energy/energy. So much fun. 

Eng/Eng is my main, so it'd have to be that.  I love the ranged/melee versatility, and that most opponents end on the ground unable to fight the repeated blasts.

 

That said, my fire/ice rocks and he's not even reached his zenith.  There'd be a lot of weeping and scratched eyes if the "one blaster child only" goon squad attempted to pry him from my protective embrace.

My all time favorite blaster is archery/devices.  The surgical mission specialist and spy par excellence.   Gets to the boss and gets the rest of the team to the boss, ideal for old school story lines.  Blaster perfection is no melee attacks at all.

Water / Atomic 

Loads of fun to play, lots of AoE and build to survive too!  I have made many since I took this character seriously and I always come back to him

 

Working right now on a second build for him to blap a bit (I know its not an ideal powerset) so if anyone would like to help, it would be appreciated but for now, I am happy nuking the crap out of things

I could go with that.  (Currently playing the synergistic Water/Ice.)

 

What's your ice build?  Do you have all the ice powers?  😮

I've made it to 50 with two blasters -- an energy/energy that was my first 50 back in the day, and an electric/martial here on HC. Both a lot of fun! But I'd have to go with the old energy/energy, Starflux, (currently in the mid-30s here) for sheer blastery knock down drag out, uh, blasterocity.

I haven't gotten into mids this time around, at least not yet, so I don't have a build to post.  But I do take a lot of ice/ice/ice powers, so it's easier to say which ones I skip.  I don't take Ice Storm, but take everything else in the primary; I take everything except Frozen Fists in the secondary.  In Cold mastery, I take only Flash Freeze and Frozen Armor.

 

I would make different choices if I didn't solo her so much (she's not only my main but also my badger).  For example, I keep Ice Sword because it's a nice (and so so fun and pretty) 'finisher' when soloing and that refuses-to-die baddie gets within melee range, but if I didn't solo so often, I would probably drop it (and Bitter Freeze Ray, Freezing Touch, and maybe some other ice powers I don't really use on teams).

 

I really enjoy water/ though.  I'm thinking my next 50 will be my water/kin corr (she's in her 40s now and super fun to play).  I do have a couple of lowbie water blasters, but I haven't really gotten into them quite as I have the corr.

Damage, damage and some more damage on top.

Fire/Energy

(Softcapped Ranged Defense for incarnate content)

This build fits ok with my playstyle.
