00Troy00 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I've always wanted to make an AR blaster, but have been discouraged from doing so due to its abysmal performance. Will the changes released today be enough to make it palatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Troy00 Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Don't know how I did this twice. Is there a way to delete it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrax Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 You can hide it I think but not delete. I’ve always enjoyed it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I play what I find fun. Performance is only a secondary concern, to me. I have an AR/Invuln sentinel that is quite fun to play. I think a lot has to do with what you are looking to get out of such a character, and adjusting your expectations accordingly. If you already have it in the front of your mind that "AR sucks", then you're going to have a bad time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarky Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I have wanted AR Devices (my theme pairing) to be good for....a very long time. There are downsides. S/L damge, meh mitigation. Having to use KB->KD slot wasters. Low damage compared to FIRE. The last one applies to everyone. When you think of big leagues doing hard content....when they buff damage on fire. Wow. Everyone has the same damage "cap"....but when your floor is at the level of everyone elses basketball hoop it gets ridiculous. Still. Theme. All Ranged. Cones. Strategy. Thing i love. I took my parked 41 AR Dev yesterday and 50d and T4'd alpha. Working on accolades and some of the other incarnates today. The revised powers do a LOT to make this work. It is definitely playable. Is it your cup of coffee? I will revise my build I am sure. I just found out that Targeting drone has a opening BONUS +60% damage. I never knew. So, Snipe, LRM, or Full Auto hits like a dam truck. I built for +damage. Again, might revise slightly, but I sit at +70% damage stone cold with the +60% bringing my opening salvo to +130%.

Thrax Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 My blaster is ar/ta and sent is ar/fire. Latter is a "theme" toon. Other is too I guess, but I love oil slick arrow then flame thrower and full auto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
