    Keep Blazing Aura and Hot Feet --> melee oriented powers?

    A very quick rework on your build to give you some ideas hopefully.

    I like the Stealth / Super Speed combo. It effectively makes you invisible. But Fly is much more convenient for some zones, so I will probably keep both.

    I also prefer to stay out of melee range with a blaster.

    I took some of your ideas and here is my new design.

    Thanks for the advice Doomguide.

At the moment the build above is slightly unfocused as you have both ranged and S/L defense. Once you get to 32.5% I find it's enough to make a notable difference and I'll usually chase other build goals at that point, such as recharge.

    Any specific suggestions for ranged defense?

    Have any details been released? Anything you can point me to?

    Hi,

    I am trying to build a blaster that doesn't always get killed by large groups and AV's. I would like some thoughts on this build and some suggestions on what I can do to improve it.

    Thanks!
