    Almost decided on a rad/rad defender. Will post a build in another thread
  2. Free_Radical
    Ok.. Rad it is (possibly lol). When I first started I did have a empath/elec defender (got him to about 35) but then changed to my scrapper.

    What is Rad/Rad like or is there a better combination for rad/ ?
  3. Free_Radical
    I quite like the idea of rad/ or empath/ but dont know what to choose.. maybe a bubbler too but tried that before though.

    Hi,

    Been playing CoH for a long time and havnt really got round to playing a defender. I am having difficulty choosing a powerset for a defender, I am leaning towards empathy but I am willing to be persuaded to try something else.

    Here's what I have at the moment.

    Claw/Regen scrapper
    Inv/SS tanker
    Kat/SR scrapper
    Ill/Kin controller
    Warshade
    Fire/Enegy blaster
    elec/elec blaster

    I have tried a bubble/rad defender but it didnt really go anywhere with it. I guess I want something that can solo a bit. I think the problem with the bubble was that no one wanted him on a team!

    I have run out of spaces on the server so am going to Union on this one.. does that change anything?

    Thanks in advance

    Yeah, slot range, target the guy in the middle rear of the group, and get as far away as possible.

    Cones are less effective in close combat, so if you have a blapper style you may want to give this power a miss.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My Build is aimed at both. Can do reasonable AOE damage for teams but has the blapper powers of /energy to cope with bosses and solo easier.

    I've got the AOE powers from fire/ and doing pretty good atm Definately suits my play style (which is all over the place lol).

    Yeah, more range leads to a wider cone at max range which in turn leads to more kebap.

    Burn baby burn.. flames are getting Wider! lol Couldnt resist

    Just slotted it with some damage and tried what you suggested. Working a lot better now

    Now just gotta find a team to spray firey doooooooom on as many mobs as I can
  8. Free_Radical
    Hi,

    I've just getting fire breath slotted now and I am having difficulty in gaining the most out of it (spraying groups with my firey breath of doooooooooooooooooom).

    Has anyone got any tips on using fire breath on a fire/energy blaster? Is it better to start my chain off with fire breath? Should I ditch fire breath for something else?

    Anyway.. any advice appriciated

    Now just have to go and learn how to not agro everything that moves.

    You will pretty much get this all the time. Best bet is to get someone else to take the agro or to hold them.

    I havn't seen any either, but have seen some fire/energy guides.

    I have an elec/elec blaster and I can say that /elec is pretty good and some nice powers in there too (power sink etc.)

    I suppose the only thing you can do is take a look at a fire/energy guide and then a */elec guide and merge them

    Since I started my fire/energy blaster i've seen loads about.. has fire/energy become FoTM?
  11. Free_Radical
    lol doesn't sound a very good animation.
  12. Free_Radical
    Hi,

    Im running a fire/energy blast (seems to be FoTM at the moment) and want to know what Blaze looks like?

    Im getting it in the next few levels so just curious.
  13. Free_Radical
    I've got my fire/energy to level 20 now.. it rocks!!
  14. Free_Radical
    I'm level 16 atm and (pardon the pun) having a blast

    Roll on level 22
  15. Free_Radical
    Switched over fire breath for blaze and blazing bolt for fire breath.

    Thanks. Think I managed to get as many powers as possible, with also taking aid self, acrobatics, and superjump.

    Hoepfully my build is sorted now, but dont really get any more than 2 damage powers till lvl22. Oh well.. roll on double xp lol
  18. Free_Radical
    Ok.. how about fire breath or acrobatics?

    Is it really needed as it only helps against one hold and my elec/elec blaster gets held quite often with it.

    So basically, another damage power or acrobatics?
  19. Free_Radical
    Help.. im stuck!!

    I am building a fire/energy blaster, and cant decide between either Flares, Rain of Fire, Fire Breath or Blaze.

    At the moment I have picked Blaze as its a higher damage power however, I will be bouncing between ranged and close up.

    I also have the option for Energy Punch, Stun, Power Boost, or Boost Range.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: also do i need acrobatics?
  20. Free_Radical
    Yet another go at this build.. this time with aid self and stuff lol

    Rolled my fire/energy blaster last night (level 7 already).

    All I can say is OMG.. loads of damage! Build up is fun with fire

    Any ideas on how much damage I might be producing when I reach the higher levels? Anyone else tried a fire/energy and what is it like leveling?
  22. Free_Radical
    Yeah but decided to do a build anyway lol

    Not created the character yet so still want to know from people if a fire/energy will work.

    BTW.. does power boost work on my secondary or primary powers? (fire or energy). If it works on fire what insane amounts of damage will I expect? lol

    Hi,

    Im trying out some different blaster types and I am thinking of fire/energy.

    Has anyone tried this at all? What do you guys think of a fire/energy blaster?

    The reason I am toying with the idea is because I have an elec/elec atm and have wanted to try out fire before. I like the close up blapping but have heard fire can do quite good damage.

    So fire/energy.. thoughts?
