My first 50 was an Ice/Fire and I did find myself skipping alot in Fire Manipulation. I took Ring of Fire, Fire Sword, Build Up, FSC, and Consume. I had Combustion at one point but never used it so i got rid of it. I found it to be fun, a bit difficult, but fun.
-
with build up+aim I've gotten about 200%, with just set bonus's i've got it at about 40% on my fire/ice blaster
-
I agree with Le Blanc. I am currently playing an Archery/Energy and I love it. My first 50 was an Ice/Fire and it was fun as well.

Nice, thanks a bunch. When i first saw these screens, first thing i thought to myself was "how do i get that window with all the good info", not "i wanna solo GM's" lol

I think you have a 6.25% recharged bonus going to waste right now in your build. Decimation ,Posi and Entropic are all 6.25% IRC, and I'm counting 6 of them in your build right now.
I realized that too when i wrote it, im planning to put Ragnarok in Breath of arrows -
this may be a noobie question, but how do i get that info window with all my defense and recharge and stuff? i've tried but cant figure it out
-

Not sure about slotting the rest. might be missing a slot or 2. all from memory. I dont have mid's because im on a Mac. -
Makes sense. I didnt take the ranged stun on my DPS build and I have the Fire Epic. Bonfire does work nice and ill have to try it with boost range.
-
I have seen people say the Shiver+RoF is a pretty nice combo. I have a fire/ice and havent gotten her to that point yet. She's still low lvl
. I was planning on getting RoF for sure, but then im not planning an AoE build for her.
-
what about taking the extra melee's for Mako's. I barely use the 2 I have now

The Gaussian proc is pretty infrequent. It's only a 5% chance to go off every 10 seconds. And only lasts for 5 seconds.
The duration and randomness are so low that I tend to just consider the proc to be +2.5% DEF with a side-effect of a BU proc. That is to say I only use it if I already have the other 5 pieces of Gaussian slotted.
that seems like a good way to look at it. -
ok, i'll have to pay attention to my combat log and see when it hits. thanks
-
How does putting a proc in a toggle work? Im not really into game mechanics (yet) and am curious. I have the Gaussian's Fire Control proc (Build up) in Tactics and have not really noticed anything.
-
I love this game because:
1. Friends
2. Funny stuff always seems to happen
3. taking my high lvl blasters and AoEing mobs in low lvl zones
-
This will be for my 2nd build, first is DPS. In my DPS build i only took 4 powers from EM. Power Thrust, Bone Smasher, BU, and Conserve Power. Should I take more Melee so I can slot more Mako's. Should I take Stun to 6-slot Stupefy for the 3.125% bonus? Is 6-slotting BU and Aim with Gaussian's Fire-Control for the multitude of defense bonuses (2.5% to Ranged, Melee, and AoE; 1.25% to S/L, NRG/Neg, and Fire/cold) worth it?
-
i am a hover blaster. ranged it is. thanks for the help
-
so going with S/L might be a better route to take?
-
Ranged Defense. Ive seen alot of people with Force Mastery asking about soft capping. Just wondering if any other epic can help me reach that goal better. I have an Archery/Energy Manip that I would like to try it on. Open to any suggestions. I dont have mid's so I cant really post a build. Thanks for any help.

Quote:I joke about this with my SG friends. I call it the "Perfect Combo". It consists of Self Destruct and Rise of the Phoenix.Originally Posted by Postagulous
One of the blasters rushes into the group and activates self destruct. Sure, he took them out, but it's an odd move in my book. He had some temp rez power and got back up and we went on. -

How do you like the fire epic? I have a fire/ice blaster coming up that will be in that level range before long. I've got pretty much every type of blaster in a variety of levels, but even though some are pretty close to epic levels, Saj is thus far the only one that's made it and I'd like to try a different one next.
I really enjoy the Fire Epic. I have an Ice/Fire blaster with it and it works wonders. I mainly take it because I dont really worry about defense and Rise of the Phoenix keeps me going. Plus it is half of my "perfect combo". Selfdestruct then RotP. lol. Bonfire works well for knockback and I have Char 4-slotted with 2 Lockdown (one is proc) and 2 Devastation (one is proc) and i think it worked out to a 45% chance to hold a boss in one hit. Might have been 35% I cant recall. I havent played with Melt Armor yet but my Ice blaster has Fire Shield and it helps a bit. -
I have and Arch/Energy and my build is a bit different from yours, I dont have mids because im on a mac so ill just list my the powers i took.
Archery:
Snap Shot
Aimed Shot
Fistful of Arrows
Aim
Blazing Arrow
Explosive Arrow
Rain of Arrows
Energy:
Power Thrust
Build Up
Bone Smasher
Conserve Power
Speed:
Hasten
Flight:
Hover
Fly
Fitness:
Swift
Health
Stamina
Leadership:
Assault
Tactics
Vengance
Fire Epic:
Char
(at this lvl now)
Fire Shield
Rise of the Phoenix
Bon Fire
Pretty much everything is slotted for a recharge bonus. I have 2 Zephyr's in hover and Fly, Luck of the gambler 7.5% in Vengance and one in hover. Devastation's in my ranged, A full Entropic Chaos in Blazing, posi's blast in my AoE, and Crushing Impact's in my melee. Conserve Power and Hasten are slotted for recharge with standard IO's. Stamina has Performance Shifter's +end and Health has Numina's proc and the Miracle proc.
My Global Recharge is 45% before hasten and Im hoping to get more.
Sorry about the mess, but i hope this helps in some way. -
I have a Rad/Ice at about 12, very fun and very versatile. I think it will work out quite well.
-
cool, i'll check it out. thanks
-
Is there an outside source other than Mid's that will tell me the %'s and other numbers on powers that affect more than one archetype and the numbers for buffs and debuffs and things like that. I use a Mac and do not have access to Mid's.
-
My first toon was an Ice/Fire and I got him to 50 in about 5 or 6 months time. It is very fun. The Ice is a tad controlly and Fire has some nice powers, like Fire Sword Circle and Consume. After that toon I made a Fire/Ice and she's been sitting at 35 for about 3 months now.
