Max DPS Blaster Build for Solo

[AK The Bro]

I'm looking for a solid Blaster DPS build that can clear anything in its path and solo the game at 4/8 (Budget is not an issue). Thanks in advance, friends.

Most blasters can achieve this if you sacrifice damage for survivability.    Ice/X  would probably be the safest I'd think..  Maybe Ice/Electric or Ice/Energy for some blapper goodness?  It'd still be dangerous against mobs who mez.  Even with soft capped defense., which is actually easy to do with Scorpion Shield and Winter IOs...but you sacrifice Resistance, Max Hps, Recharge, and Damage Procs.

Max DPS and soloing +4/x8 are two different goals.

Depends if you're working Rise of the Phoenix into your attack chain or not... 😛

I will second Ice/anything. Ice Storm and Blizzard make 4/8 remarkably safe (for a Blaster anyway).

 

I really, really like Fire as a secondary generally but it pairs very well with Ice.  Hot Feet + Burn + one or both rains from Ice give you a ton of soft control for anything left standing after you click Fire Sword Circle.

i agree, whilst fire/fire has the highest DPS, ice/fire is an all time classic and a great blend of damage and mitigation. fire/ice is also a good combination

 

in my opinion too, if +4/x8 is important i’d do it on a scrapper or similar instead. i think living that life on a squishy would be a real slog, +2 or 3 / x 6 would be a nicer balance of challenge and progress

oof

 

Could give you a quick cheeky answer OR try to raise awareness on what's being asked in a game with as much varied content and situations as this one is complicated.

 

Ima going with a third option: Trooth

If cost is trooly not an issue.. Get good at stocking and using inspirations. Buy Amplifiers at the S.T.A.R.T. Vendor. You'll have Max Damage and Max Protection on demand.

AND pick any quick firing Primary: Archery/Energy/Fire/Ice (Fire and Ice being most popular)

If you want to fiddle with builds, no problem, we can show you. It can be time consuming.

 

S.T.A.R.T. Vendor Amplifiers

Offense Amplifier		: +15% Dam, +10% ToHit, +15% Rech
Defense Amplifier		: +5% Def, +7% DamRes, +Mag4 StatProtect

You want builds:

Spoiler

Builds are not quite as critical once you have Inspirations and Amplifiers going.

Imperfect builds will work just fine
