DeathKitty Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) What do you folks think of this build - 40% S/L def; 46/35 E/N Def; 157.5% recharge (perma if anyone near me)? Any feedback is appreciated. I play a lot solo so a good defensive build is key. I like having proton volley and cosmic burst in my st attack chain.

Nightmare Shaman Posted Thursday at 07:25 PM Posted Thursday at 07:25 PM It's very important to know specifically what you are trying to achieve with a build. Since you prefer solo, you will be facing the entirety of the enemy groups available. Specifically at lvl 50. There's also the question that frequently gets overlooked with builds - What difficulty do you play on? I have attached the total of your build compared to my current blaster. I personally like to have the ability to jump on a fire farm just for the hell of it, but also have a balanced build to take on most enemies. Your build, imho, has major holes. 40% s/l defense is great, as is 46 nrg, 35 neg, but toxic and psi are going to absolutely obliterate you. imho you are better off focusing on ranged def, getting it to at least 35 ish, and pushing up aoe close to that as well. Also, you have pretty low res to everything. If you get hit by -def or just get hit, you're going to feel it HARD. Another problem that gets overlooked - recovery vs enddrain. Personally 1.67 is a little high. I would try to get that down. Another thing of note, go to totals and look at debuff resistance. Personally I hate slows, so I always use those winter sets and the +20% from Winter's whatever in travel powers to get my slow/rech res to 95%. I mean the best you can do is try it out and see how you like it. These are all the things I personally take into consideration for making very strong and fairly sturdy blasters.
DeathKitty Posted Thursday at 08:50 PM Author Posted Thursday at 08:50 PM (edited) Thanks for the feedback. I generally play +2/8 or +3/5 or 6, depending on the enemies. I spend a lot of time in melee due to the aoes that my toon has so that's why I went for high s/l and e/n rather than ranged...but AOE can be an issue. Even though my endurance use is 1.67 it hasn't been issue due to the procs I use (numina's, miracle, panacea, 2 +end performance shifters}. I like my characters damage ouput. I see your concerns and they are valid. Is it possible to see your build, Nightmare Shaman? Edited Thursday at 08:51 PM by DeathKitty forgot to ask something.
Frozen Burn Posted Friday at 04:38 AM Posted Friday at 04:38 AM Hi @DeathKitty. Welcome to the forums! I think your build will work fine. Clearly, it is working for you, and that is all that really matters. There are many ways to build and be successful. I have similar stats to yours, but a little more on the S/L/E, a little more on the resists, and a lot more on the HPs because I don't like doing the multiple proc thing, so that allows me more set bonuses. (My build below, in case there is anything you want to glean anything from it.) I play similarly to you as well - always in the middle of a group to leverage PBAOEs and melee powers. The only thing I noticed on your build is that you have too much endurance. Blaster's sustain powers (Metabolic Accelerant, in this case with /Atomic) are really good and that you do not need to do normal end management building as you do with other toons. You can safely drop the miracle + recov... it's totally not needed in your build and you can use that slot elsewhere, or I personally would put a Preventative Medicine + Absorb proc in that slot. That proc has saved my life many times. You could probably also drop the End Mod slot out of Stamina and just only have the proc there. Use that slot to put in a Shield Wall +5% Resist or the Reactive Defenses +Scaling Resist IOs. Even better if you can get both into your build somehow. Divine Radiance - Blaster (Radiation Blast).mbd
