Radiation Blast/Atomic Manipulation Blaster Build

[Chance_Fletcher]

Hi All,

 

I just wanted to share my build for my Rad/Atom Blaster build and see what people think or if they have any advice for improvements. I've spent probably way too much time tweaking her powers, but I think it was worth it. I took into account power rotation, skipping any powers I found were slow to activate or ones where I could manipulate the animation. For instance, I slotted Experienced Marksman into Proton Volley for Fast Snipe, allowing it to be in the regular rotation of single fire attacks. I also skipped any "build-up" style of powers, in this case Ionize and Aim because I figured in the time it took to activate those powers I could probably attack several times, which is probably mathematically a superior move. I was able to six slot every attack power while also maintaining a Ranged Defense soft cap of 45% and high Resist Damage as well. I slotted Global Enhancements strategically to increase specific Status Resistances like Knockback, Teleport Protection, slow protection etc. I know there are a few tweaks to the selection of enhancements that aren't full sets. As in, the choice of which enhancement from a set could be better, but I think I'll leave her for now.

 

I guess I should explain her strategy in battle. So, both Radiation Blast and Atom Manipulation have quite a few PBAoE attacks. So, she has to get in close. Usually, my first move with her will be to run into a group of enemies, activate Radioactive Cloud(Hold)(chance to +Absorb), then Irradiate(PBAoE)(chance to confuse), then I have the option of Atom Smasher, Atomic Blast, or Ion Core Final judgment, or a combination of them. Her Def and Dam Res is pretty high, but she's also rocking a Repulsion Field with a Knockback to Knockdown slotted into it. The KtoK enhancement lowers the chance for the effect to happen, but it also reduces the amount of endurance it costs to a more manageable state. With Chance for Hold, Chance to Confuse and knockdown from Repulsion Field all active at the same time, it keeps her pretty safe. I then pick off strays and bosses with the three single target attacks, which are almost a perfect rotation with no downtime.

 

She's also a permanent flyer, so a lot of her defenses come from her flight power pool. She also has Temp Invulnerability from the Force Mastery Epic power pool. If she ever gets into trouble there's the Personal Force Field which makes her nearly invincible, but unable to attack. Or, she can use Force of Nature to also become nearly invincible but suffer a massive endurance drain at the end of it. Basically, if I'm paying attention, she's almost impossible to "kill".

 

The character concept I think is pretty neat. Eve is a series of androids created to protect against her villain counterpart series of androids, Adam. My character is the first in the series, so Mark I. But, my other main supergroup members each make their own Eve(s) using the same costume file. The only rule is that they have to be Rad/Rad or the equivalent, ie. Rad/Atom for blaster. Other players often think that we're multi-boxing because there's a bunch of us running around together. It actually works really well too, while not all my -Def abilities stack, -Def from multiple characters do. A full team of 8 Eves, which we haven't had in years, unfortunately, will decimate AV's and Monsters.

 

So please, take a look at her, I'd like to see if anyone has thoughts or improvements for her. Thanks!
