?/atomic

I'm thinking of rolling a/atomic blaster but I don't know what main to go. I will end up playing this mainly in melee range.

 

I'm currently leaning towards either dp or water but not set on them.

 

I won't use fire or elec as I already play them.

 

What would you all suggest?

I have a water/atomic and I love him! The two AoE's are awesome. The minor heal isn't that bad either. The special that gives a boost to 4 of the powers can really help in a pinch, especially when used with Gyser - your final power.

This is probably going to be an unorthodox opinion, but I'm playing Energy/Atomic and love it. I skipped Energy Torrent (don't care for it and my intent was to stand in the middle of spawns anyway, so the cone AoE didn't fit) and slotted KB->KD into Explosive Blast and all the knockdown I can generate does a great job of complementing my other control powers to keep me and my team very safe even in the thick of it. I get to take full advantage of Beta Decay to debuff and leech recharge, which also means that I can hit perma-Hasten with ease and Nova with shocking frequency. Bonfire (w/ KB->KD slotting) from my Epic pool just turns the entire strategy up to 11. I can stand in the middle of a spawn totally safe while alternating Explosive Blast and Atom Smasher as they all bounce up and down like popcorn.

 

In short, I play her like a walking bomb. She just runs at people and explodes all day long and it is fantastic!

I have a pistols/atomic at level 30. I don't pretend to be an expert on any of this stuff, but I'm enjoying it so far. I think water has a little better aoe than pistols, and pistols has a little better single target than water, but pistols still has very good aoe. But I might be wrong, though. I think both sets probably work well with the in your face style of /atomic. Am looking forward to the higher tier powers.

I looked at the pros and cons of all the mains and then thought, hang on, what's as cool as an atomic gun slinging cowboy robot?

 

NOTHING!
