Haijinx Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Id say Energy is middle of the pack. Though it has some nice base damage for the first 2 blasts. It also has no quirky power choices 3 st blasts 1 snipe 1 ST "control" (i guess) 1 cone with a fast animation. 1 targetted AOE 1 nuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxy Brain Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Energy is def the baseline blast set, and it is surprisingly fun solo with crowd control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without_Pause Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Not sure anything is unsurpassed unless you are talking from pure damage numbers. Water continues to be fun as hell though. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 8. Emma Strange: Ill/dark. 9. Nothing But Flowers: Plant/storm Controller. 10. Obsidian Smoke: Fire/dark Corr. "Downtime is for mortals."

SmalltalkJava Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 8 hours ago, Some Random User said: Water keeps getting good word of mouth. Yeah. Water is one of the few sets that is fully ranged. And it has a rain power and AOE knockdowns Baseline MM Henchmen Defenses and Resist Values MM - Beast Pets - Pet Attack usage and some quick proc testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixoteprog Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 My first main, back in the day, was an Energy/Energy blaster and it was always a ton of fun. But I mostly solo. Having a bit of control is useful. My biggest complaint with En. secondary is all the melee powers. Half of the powers are REALLY useful boost for my primary attacks. The other half are like, WTF? Melee attacks? in Energy Manipulation? It is the equivalent of taking a scrapper secondary like Invulnerability and replacing half the powers with stuff from the Assault rifle set. Sure, ranged damage attacks that do knockback, disorient and stun can be useful, to a scrapper, or anyone, in certain situations. But as a scrapper you try to avoid those situation.

ScarySai Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 My fire/mental has 32.5 defenses to everything, enough damage to quickly solo a GM, and massive regen/resists/recharge on top of it all. I'm pretty sure it's the strongest blaster combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimPickens Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 godmode: Ice/fire/mace being def softcapped to s/l/e/c/f on a blaster that has a HoT damage aura sustain is almost unfair. Top notch: Ice/mental/ice Water/temp/mace Fire/ built with these secondaries also melts content very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oedipus_tex Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I feel like all of the blast sets are in pretty good shape at the moment, which is interesting, because I never felt that way while the game was live. It speaks to the level of dedication of the server devs/ In terms of pure DPS a few of them pull ahead or fall behind. None is in such terrible shape that its unworkable. There are some powers here and there that could use some tightening up, mainly related to their cast times. Also, arguably Radiation could be a bit better, but it's still very playable. I'd expect some of the recent Dominator changes to eventually roll over to Blaster secondaries, which should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has: - heal that also does nice damage - large radius & target cap aoe’s - soft & hard control : slows, knockdowns - defense debuffs - tons of proc slotting opportunities - a “high” damage rain ( whirlpool ) - several damage types and to top top it off it has an inherent way to augment most of those abilities. Need more aoe dmg? Need guaranteed knockdown? Need a strong heal? Need to chunk a boss down real fast? Tidal power makes an already versatile set even stronger. Mall that said I do think it could have a slight buff in the damage department. As a whole, the set has a lot of synergy, but if you don’t need the slow, the knockdown, heal, etc., then the damage is kinda meh.
