Fire/Fire/Fire

OK firstly, I have to bring in the @Snarky since it's his build, but he's not the only one that knows this....

 

Fire Blasters are OP AF.

 

Don't get me wrong, not screaming for a nerf, but I mean, let's give some love to the others. I actually thought maybe it was just a bit up there, nope it's next level. I'm not even fully slotted, in fact, the ITF I was in last night, I started out at level 45 and was annihilating groups of 52s, I was level shifted to 49 ATT, but still that's 3 levels up. I've never had that with any other toon.

 

How do you roll one so powerful then play anything else??

 

I did die more than a few times...but never did Rise of the Phoenix let me down.

 

Now I'm wondering if Fire Blast is as strong when paired with other secondaries.

 

I rolled a Mando themed blaster (AR/Devices) at the same time, the look is so good I will play him, but it'll be with a Fire Blaster sitting on my shoulder whispering, *not quite as good though, is he?*

i regularly charge out ahead of the team on 4/8 with a fire/fire/fire   fresh spawns waiting to be melted!

I'll get him decked out by this weekend and see how badass the build really is.

 

Question....Your Alpha selection was Agility Core? Would Intuition Rad be a tad better? Or do you find the recharge/endurance mod to be the best option?

I never put my incarnates in the build. If that us in there it is random.  Without opening game (i am working) i can tell you that Alpha was max DPS +45% damage.   Because….  Damage.  MiDs is screwy, and i rarely touch the incarnate in there except when fine tuning an armor set.

No doubt fire is very good for blasters. As for fire/ice? Not as good until the later levels, but a lot depends on how you slot and how you play. 
I've teamed with folks who would make a fire blaster look comparatively like a kinetic melee scrapper - just not that good. So much depends on you as a player. Some folks can make any build look magical. And some folks can take a magical build and make it look sad and weak. 

 

Me, I like ice/fire a bit better than fire/fire, even though it doesn't have a snipe. Blizzard is better for me than inferno due to the reduced risk. But the ice secondary...cauterize and frigid protection are practically interchangeable as far as a sustain goes. 

But your question was about the secondary. I like Atomic Manipulation because of the sustain being one of the better ones (for me). Sure, I get held, but only for a very short time. By the time I move to click on the inspiration, I'm generally no longer held. It's got a hold with a decently quick activation time to help mitigate some of the NPCs trying to clobber you. And Beta Decay boosts your recharge, and decreases their toHit. For me, it's one of the better blaster secondary sets. Opinions can and do vary. 

We get a ton of slots, why not try 'em all out, and tell us?

This guy is fully slotted now and I ran a +4 ITF last night and half a TinPex, both proved to me the build is solid, thank you @Snarky, and that the power combo just obliterates the enemies. No incarnates yet so it's just pure build, and it does not disappoint. Can't wait to get it full incarnates and see how badass it is then, finish that up today...hopefully.

It is a dragster.  It just goes fast as hell and wants to keep going forward.  Glad you are having fun
