Energy/Energy Blaster Help.

[Vindicate]

Hi everyone,

 

I’ve recently returned to the game and have been working my way around dusting off my old alts. I’m now turning my attention to my Energy/Energy Blaster. I did original go with Force Mastery for aesthetics but I'm open to mu mastery.

 

I’m looking for a solid, top-tier build (budget isn’t an issue).

 

Hover-blasting, ranged-focused play style 

 

Excellent recharge

Capped ranged defense

Plenty of knock back 

And of course Big Damage lots of nukes.

It will mainly be a solo focused toon running old TFs and X3 or X4 / 8 content if possible at 50+

 

As always thanks to the community for the help and advice you give.

I really like my build but it's not hover-blasting. I like to move in and use melee attacks on the bosses while AoEs take care of everyone else, this is why I have around 30% on all positional defenses instead of focusing on ranged. But maybe you can get some ideas from it to build on (like switching the Touch of Death sets to Mako's Bite flips 7.5% melee defense to ranged.)

Hi Biff,

 

Thanks a lot for sharing the build much appreciated 👍. Definitely check it out when I'm home later.  Sounds like a lot of fun!

Here's another version that uses Barrier instead of Power Boost to reach the softcap:

Thanks Auroxis, they look great., The help is very much appreciated. Will jump on soon and have a play around on mids.

You can try my version, which meets all of your criteria.

It is a hover-blaster, but you can also land, turn repulsion field on, and blast from the ground without ever being hit by a mob.

This is one of my strongest characters in terms of damage/survival balance.

If you're set on hover blasting, consider re-rolling as energy/tactical arrow.  TA is almost all self-buffs and ranged debuffs/soft controls.

 

If you want to hoverblast as EN/EN, slot some flyspeeds in hover, if you can.  That way you can zip in, pummel mobs with melee, and zip back to a safe height.  My hoverblaast EN/EN approached this by just running hover and fly simultaneously and having Energize on autofire.  That and hoping I don't run out of endurance, lol.

 

My build is attached.  I think it meets most of your requirements, but might be a little low on recharge for you.  At minimum it's a good starting point to tweak as you see fit.
