Hey Lal

Its Fiery Xy here :P

Congratz on hitting 50 I hit 50 today to hehe

hehe thanks for the comments so far...

Primary Wise

Fire - well I have a fire/kin/fire controller like I said I wouldnt mind going something else; i already have a char with fireblast and fireball now it would be nice to try soemthing else out.

Ice - Ice is Nice I mean I have heard lots out ice and its great single target dmge + hold ability. The nuke is ranged which is nice, but im not sure on Blizzard. I think Blizzard wud be nice on a corr with scourge but I dunno how nice of a nuke it is vs other blaser nukes such as nova, TB etc which offer complete burst nuke dmge

Sonic - This doesnt seem to bad, not sure how good the cone power is, and the -res component wud be nice. Seems to have some nice utility in its aoe sleep as well I guess not sure how good dreadful wail is, i honestly dont see many sonic blasters around so I dunno how good they are (or if they are more of a blapper set)

Elec - Now I do like the look of elec, seems to have a hold and nice single target dmge like Ice, but has the added bonus of the snipe and the aoe ball lightning. I am not sure how important Volcanic Sent is I think I have seen ppl skip that as its not entirely essential. I like the look of TB and ball lightning isnt so bad an aoe i dont think.

Archery - nice but i know its lethal dmge so i won't really feel any of the renowned high burst dmge that I associate with going blaster inherant acc a bonus i guess but i dunno..

Assault Rifle - this is an ok set i guess i know ppl who are AR blasters and are fine. I dunno i dont really think I would like the full auto much, plus I really cant stand the look of the gun lol :P

Energy Blast - I think it wouldn't be too bad, but I dont want to alienate ppl with all my knockback lol :P Tho the nova looks impressive I just dont think its what I wat, and i dont like energy torrent that much either lol :P

Secondary wise taking into account what you have said..

Device - I really want build up cus i want some high dmge output, I think tho there aint anything wrong with devices it might be too fiddly. Plus, i know a lot of ppl dont wait around for mines to be planetd etc so i might as well go something else :P

Ice - Sin you mention ice patch which would be nice but, imho, Ice patch would be the only ice power I would like in that set so it seems silly for me to choose that secondary purely for one power ^^

Energy - this is a possibility, like you say It would be viable for me as a ranged blaster plus i could take 1 or 2 powerful melee attacks for when worse comes to worse..

Fire - I could see myself going /fire purely to pick up build up, combustion, and fire swordcircle. I guess the question is , is combustion and fire sword circle good enough aoe's to justify using that secondary lol. If I went elec primary then i could have ball light, combust and fsc as my aoe powers i guess.. Bonus is you have consume for endurance regen.You just dont see many /fire around and i am wondering why..

Elect secondary = seems fine as well.. could take havoc punch and thunderstrike for the melee... and you have the bonus of powersink which would be good as well I guess.. and lightning clap for some "offensive defence"

I dunno if i had to lean towards something id say

Primary wise - Elect or Ice
Secondary - nrg , elect or fire

i just need to find the right combo i guess hehe

Hey All

Ok i am not really a fan of blasters but I really do not have a blaster at all that is higher than like lvl 4 so I should really commit and make my next alt a blaster

Problem is I dont really know any good combos so I am wondering if I can get some opinions from the forum peeps

Ok... I dont really wanna be a blapper, when i think of blasters i think ranged, but i wudnt mind going /nrg and getting like TF and bonesmasher and use them sparingly when a mob gets too close etc..

I want a nuke, must... have a big BOOOOOOOM i see so many ppl doing it and it looks like so much fun . I dont really wanna go fire either cus ive just lvlled up a fire/kin/fire so i have had my share of fire blasting/fireballing ^^

The ideas I have come up with are:-

Elec/Nrg (i would mostly be ranged but wud obv take the blapper powers for emergencies when I am in close quarters)

Elec/Fire (I could have single target eleccy attacks + the bonus of combustion and fire sword circle for aoeing when a tank herds those plus TB and ball lightning wud give me lotsa aoe)

Energy / xx (ranged energy blaster, i know all the whine about knockback etc but I would soon shut up a team with how professional my energy blastering (a word?) is :P)

Archery (i know rain of arrows isnt really a nuke as such but if its high dmge surely it wud be ok)

Any ideas would beappreciated i like getting all thoughts on blaster combos

hey TG

um making an ice/nrg eh xD dont get enough pvp action on talin? lol

anyways.. im just wondering.. any reason why you are not including aid self in your build? i would have thought aid self wud be nice with PFF for the times when you find yurself on your own in pvp..

fact u havent added is means i am assuming that your gonna be in a team in pvp i just figure maybe taking 2 powers out and picking up aid self heck u cud even take out tactics and get someone yur gonna team with u pick it up :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Lu!?

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye im back :P

but i am @Xypher now hehe

here is a rough idea of 2 makeshift builds.. one inv and one regen.. let me know what you think. I am not the worlds greatest char builder so it might be screwed up a little hehe :P I dont know all the io set bonuses yet so i just put in standard io's for now i need to read up on all the IO sets. I take aid self quite late i know but I do that cus I assume the fact I will be teaming a lot with mates (one will be a healer) i might be able to live on just bringing insps lol.

yer will i like the flashy

i was gonna go regen but i thought .. really.. thats just taking the easy option hehe

SR i know on paper is probably the best but there isnt any real graphic to it unlike unyielding, TI, invincibility etc lol

i guess i will just have to try both at same time till there is a clear winner :/

hey thanks for the comments so far

well i hope to be teaming a lot at least in a static 3 man so invun might be ok in that respect as I will not really be soloing at all..

i hear SR is a very tight build tho and you have ot take everything to really get the most out of it.. leaving little room for customizing

I dont think DA + sr toggles wud be enough u wud need the passives to im guessing

Hey all

um im not really used to playing scrappers and I have not had a invun or an SR at very high lvl before so i could use some advice..

basically i dont know whether to make a KAT/INVUN or a KAT/SR.. i cannot decide btwn the two so I would like some opinions on them if poss

I realise u have the Divine avalance def bonus + sr def bonus wud make it a very good combo but I dunno something about invun makes me wanna try it

I would be pve'ing and I dont plan on making it a soloer so that might factor into what wud be the best I know sr is end heavy but i dunno invun seems more um.. flashy?

any opinions appreciated ty

hey TG

um making an ice/nrg eh xD dont get enough pvp action on talin? lol

anyways.. im just wondering.. any reason why you are not including aid self in your build? i would have thought aid self wud be nice with PFF for the times when you find yurself on your own in pvp..

fact u havent added is means i am assuming that your gonna be in a team in pvp i just figure maybe taking 2 powers out and picking up aid self heck u cud even take out tactics and get someone yur gonna team with u pick it up :P
