    Hey everyone

    I am about to start yet another blaster, maybe this one will go past level 22 :S

    I was hoping the experts on these forums could help me take a look at this build and tell me if it will work.
    I focused mainly on getting some Smash/Lethal defence (Mid's says I am at 45.8%) as my main issue with blasters have always been how "squishy" they are.
    Secondary goal was to up the recharge so I can use the big guns more often

    I would love to push the recharge to a point where Hasten was perma, but I seem to be stuck with about 15 secs downtime.

    Anyway, here we go...(and please ignore the slot levels, right now I am just focusing on whether it is a viable build):

    Thank you both. It has certainly given me something to think about.

    I think I get the "Why" part of the build...

    I don't know... the OCD part of me just dislikes all the mixing of sets and stuff
    I guess I'll give it a try, see how I like it... I should have enough Inf lying around...

    Hi.
    I couldn't stay away from City of Heroes any longer, and have been playing again for a couple weeks now. I dusted of my very first 50 and had a go with these newfangled Invention Origin Enhancements, but I think I am doing it wrong...
    I was hoping you guys could look over my build and come up with some constructive criticism

    Here we go...

    I basically tried to keep it simple and get as much regeneration going as I could, but it doesn't really seem to be working :S
