honoroit Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) good mix of ranged and melee. perfectly viable ST chain in /elec. decent pbaoe. thunderous strike a bit slow on the wind up, but aside its nice to have a couple hitters to supplement dynamo. the voltaic sentinel is alright so far. if nothing else its filling while I'm occupied with a full menu of skills. did I get lucky picking elec/elec? it seems quick, and good @ ~30.

Crowcus Pocus Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I love mine to bits, even knowing full well it's not a top DPSer. It sounds like you're having fun too - which really is all that matters. Happy zapping. 1 Warning: This post may contain an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoroit Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 i dont like how voltaic gets detoggled if you get cc'd, annoying to resummon. but aside, its good. thunderous blast seems to delete mob groups, and the zappy dot pbaoe one. whats good dps (dont say fire)? its gonna be nice for set bonuses having a good melee for hecatomb, a good pbaoe, a good ranged aoe, a good ranged, and even a pet. hell, i can put the fancy end ones that have damage in dynamo.

Yeah, it's one of those powers that are nice to have (free DPS) but not necessarily a must. Some of my Elec toons skip it due to the fact that they're built for fast paced teams - in this specific scenario pets just can't keep up. Yes, you could toggle on/off but that's just inconvenient. However, in radio teams, soloing, or exempd TFs I really like my trusty VS. I'd say stick w it at least until L50 and then make a decision.

SeraphimKensai Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It's a lot better than it used to be. My first toon ever back in 2004 was an Elec/elec blaster and it was rough back then. Now a days you can build out to soft cap typed resistances while doing decent damage and end drain to boost the shocked mechanic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zect Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I think you can only fairly judge blasters after playing through 40-50. Low-mid level blasters are completely overpowered (nukes at 26 - lol, lmao even), while 40-50 has more troublesome mobs for blasters, such as nemesis vengeance and master illusionists. However, blasters in general are in a very good spot now, and are one of the ATs that benefit the most from the current meta of high dps, mass aoe, fast moving teams. 17 hours ago, honoroit said: whats good dps (dont say fire)? With quick snipes and crashless nukes, plus the ability to diversify damtypes and round out attack chains with a well-chosen 2ndary, the blaster primaries are far closer to each other in ST and aoe than they ever were on live. You don't need to worry about this until you get heavily into dps optimization. Edited March 14 by Zect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
