So, I'm a level 22 Arrow/mm blaster and am thinking I may start getting some IO sets (Thunderstrikes) into my build.

Can I get some advice on whether waiting until my 30's is better or do you think now is fine too?

Thanks.

GF

So far having a good time with my Earth/Earth (The Terrible Affliction). Great controls and nice amount of damage.

So now that I'm totally into Blasters...

I really enjoy my Rad/rad def and was wondering what would go well with a rad/ blaster.

Any suggestions on pairing from anyone?

Thanks very much.

GF

Awesome replies and thanks for the build.

I'll take your advice and slot TS in my ranged shots.

Printed your build and will follow it along to see how it pans out.

Thanks again folks!

GF

Hello Blaster Community.

This is a build for the first blaster I've ever managed to get past 12.

I look forward to your comments and suggestions. Also, first time copying a MIDS build to forums, so I hope it works...

Cheers! GF

Hi,

Is there a way to just remove one slot in MIDS?

I accidentally put 3 in somewhere and only 5 somewhere that I wanted 6 slots so have to move one.

Thanks!

He's at 21 right now and at 32, I will be starting to slot IO sets to maximize def against all. I usually do a little frankenslotting to get the max def I can against all types of damage (or a full set to get say, def against psi). I like to try to balance the char as best as I can.

I really do appreciate all the advice I've been given in this thread. Thanks very much.

This is the first blaster that I've ever got past lvl 12 or so, and am really enjoying it, so don't want to gimp it.

Cheers all!

GF

Great! Thanks Korith.

I think I'll just keep Tough, but skip Weave.

I landed a -4 KB protect last night and slotted it into Tough, so, with that, I'll hold onto it in my power selelctions.

Again, thanks for all the feed back folks. Much appreciated.

GF

Well! Thanks everyone for the replies. Much appreciated.

I do play the blapper style quite a bit, running in and out of melee range. But still, after seeing the actual numbers that T&W give, I'll be respecing out of them and into something else.

Any suggestions which powers do a blaster best? I'm an Arrow/MM blaster.

Cheers,
GF

So, is Tough and Weave good for blasters? I presume it is, but would just like some advice and confirmation.
Thanks.

Only 2 of my 50's (I think I have 6) will be Alpha'ing.

When my tank finally hits 50, he will Alpha as well, and one claws scrapper.

So no, not all of my 50's will get the Alpha slots.

I understand this vent.
I have had exactly 2 purples. That's it. In all these years. 2. The randometer just doesn't like some of us I guess.

Now, I play my 50's without worrying about the illusive purple and have a fun time! If I ever get another one, I think I may S***! heh.

Random is random...uhhuh...

I'm at work and can't check... did i19 go live today?!!?

First, it took me 5 years to get into tanking. Then I discovered WP/SS. What a blast.

I really enjoy tanking with him and it's actually created a certain level of respect for tanks in general. I know they're not needed on a well oiled machine, but man, when you get on one that isn't well oiled, tanks can really help out a lot.

Now, I'm playing with an EA/KM and a Inv/Stone tank and really enjoying them too. So it would appear that all I needed was the right tank for me to enjoy tanking.

Hi,

Is EA/KM a fairly solid tank? I'm used to WP/SS and INV/Elec. So to compared to those two, how would EA/KM fare?

So far, I've worked the char up to lvl 5 - so just started and am enjoying it so far but would like some input from the Tank community.

Thanks.
GF

Really like this idea.

Totally support it.

My Dark/Dark/Dark Def and my FM/FA scrapper. I'm undecided which trees I'll choose yet though as I'll have to see how they run with a couple of new powers in each once stamina is inherent.

woot!

GF

I have my SB set up this way

/bind + "powexecname speed boost"

/bind numpad1 "teamselect 1"
/bind numpad2 "teamselect 2"

Same style of bind to numpad8 teamselect 8.

GF

Thanks to LM's explanation to me in a PM, I will definitely be taking CC when stamina becomes inherent. I had it, but didn't slot it correctly and respec'd out of it because I wasn't finding it worked well.

Thanks Local Man for sharing your knowledge with us on this wonderful power.

Cheers!

GF

Just chiming in with the Welcome to the Game chorus!

Have a blast.

I'm on Justice if you ever venture out that way.

@vynnyx is my global.

Cheers!

GF

I too would partake of this service should Fulmens ever be offering it up again.

Thanks for doing it when you do Fulmens! Everwood is up and running on Justice!

GF

A kin def.

Claws/sr scrapper

They have my vote.

GF

My vote for Sonic.

I have a sonic/sonic and don't see many of us around

It's unfortunate really because it's a great set to play around with.

GF

So does anyone know what became of her after Tabula closed shop?
