Just a simple question.  I dont play much Blasters but would like to try any advice for a good secondary for a team non solo build with the most dps ST would be awesome 

just to clarify don't care about melee ST attacks just witch primary does the most ST DPS. Thinking Ice but again im NO Blaster lol.

i have to throw out a nod to Beam.  i have a beam/temp i built for incarnate badge leagues.  the nice thing about it is it is fully ranged.  sure fire fire will do more ST   at a ton more work and some faceplants.  at least for me.  Beam will allow you to keep hate down range even on trials with giant damage patches where everyone is running all over the place.  you stand there and kill.  move once in a lazy while

Testing has fire, procced out ice, beam, ice. 

 

I'm not sure where water with procced out water jet shenanigans is at. 

 

I'm not sure where electric with the pet is at since it was buffed. I think it's most dps on sentinels. 

 

On that note, blaster typically don't do proc fu too often.

I started working on a Beam/Energy with that same idea in mind. 

 

Could I take a look at your build?

Water Blast is a very good AoE set, but I can't imagine any circumstances where it would be a good Single-Target DPS choice... except by using the AoE against single-targets.

 

Personally: I find Water Jet (enhanced or not) to have been a very disappointing attack on my Water Blaster... such that it's the attack I dropped from the build (at level 50) and never looked back.

 

Also personally: There are only few cases where I consider using %damage on a Blaster's attacks; I have found better returns by slotting attacks for set enhancements (especially Global Recharge, but also +Endurance and Global Endurance Discount) and which inherently boost Damage, Accuracy, Recharge, Endurance Cost to improve DPS beyond what %damage can offer.  For most of the Very Rare Offensive sets, I'll usually opt to include a %damage piece in place of the straight Damage (because of ED)...even on fast-recharge powers.

 

The occasions when I will %damage a Blaster attack are usually:

  • Builds where I already have the 5 Enhancement set bonuses (that would otherwise go to waste),
  • AoEs (because, MOAR targets), typically cones,
  • The AoE itself is relatively low damage,
  • The build's primary/secondary itself has a lot of damage-over-time (or a delayed effect) in the chosen attacks (to front-load damage)

Mathematically: I am usually not opting for a non-set %damage piece if the %proc chance is below 35%. My calculus is: If it takes two hits of a fast-recharge attack to defeat a mob(ile) when %damage happens, and also two hits to defeat a mob(ile) without %damage, then the %damage isn't really helping the build.

 

I freely admit that I will sprinkle %-Resistance pieces into attacks if I can't immediately see a better use for the slot (anywhere in the build)... %-Res seems like a better choice on teams than %damage, and it also seems like a better choice against targets with large sacks of HP.
