The cat goddess Bast has sent an aspect of herself through time to bring back Bobcat.  Because Bobcat is the real catgirl, not that copy Mynx.  : )

 

Anyway, need a little build help on my quest.  This is what I have so far.  Not really attached to anything specific other than Seismic / Temporal.

I've seen a ton of blasters lately with 0 defence murdering mobs in high end content and its possible they build this way so i'm not going to say 'Don't slot like that' or 'don't take that power' as i have no experience building blasters this way. My lazy builds take mace for scorp shield and just aim for 45% smashing and lethal. If i take a resist shield i usually aim for around 32.5% ranged and smashing and lethal or just go for 45% ranged defence although that usually means skipping out on some damage procs. You have literally thrown in every proc available in every power so i'll assume its just gonna be 1 of those kill first before the mob aggroes and murders me builds because as soon as they aggro on you, your gonna die without amplifiers and base boosts and insps.

 

I don't have one so i can't give much advice, you'd need someone who played the combo and can make better builds than me if you want to keep flame mastery. I just threw it in my earthx2 blaster build and its a super lazy mace build i doubt it would put out 2/3 damage that yours would. You'd still have to boost all the def pieces to get to 45% s/l

Pretty much alternating Bonfire and Meteor every other spawn would be my goal.  Rise of the Phoenix for when that doesn't work out.  Debt is just another badge.  Anubis just sends me back each time, pretty quick.

 

But, yeah, my first pass was similar to yours.  Stuffed in as many Winter sets as possible to drag defense up, but it felt like I was ignoring a fair amount of damage potential.  I've got several Scrappers for "Safe DPS".   18% to 25% defense is a bit more than 0.  Two small purples gets you soft capped if you're solo.  And in a team setting Def buffs are fairly common so building for Resistance has some upside.

 

Your build is likely more survivable though.  I'll keep it tucked away if I decide to live the solo blaster +4/*8 lifestyle.  Thanks!

This is the finalized build I went with.  My thanks to AustinSmith off the Homecoming Discord as well as several others for their input.

 

Got my Alpha unlocked and it plays solo very well at +0/*6 or *8, depending on the mob faction.  Teams are lulzy.  I use Seismic Force with Shockwaves to knock about 10 seconds off Meteor cooldown, Chronos reduces cooldown about 5 more seconds.  When it's all clicking right I drop a Meteor on 2 out of 3 Spawns.  Bonfire is perma'd without any recharge slotting and is a great panic button vs anything with legs.  Going for Agility and Ageless for more recharge because giant rocks from space solve a lot of problems.

 

Downsides, no hard controls so if the mobs can't be knocked down you need to kill 'em fast.  This particular build is about as tough as some un-IO'd scrappers though, so you can handle quite a bit of incoming damage.  Until you very suddenly can't.  ; )
