MSKnight, your build is a perfect complement in this thread!

Curious--why waste an AIM slot in Snipe? I always use snipe with BU/AIM anyway, so I say why not put in 6 damages?

Also, can you post your thoughts on each of the Energy Epic powers? I'd love to hear what they each do, how effective each is and how you'd slot them and why...

Looks good! Though I think your Energy Primaries could by slotted a lot more with damage, in place of stuff like Phase Shift for now. And you definately have got to get Nova. Wow--love it.

That said, you're convincing me once again to drop CJ/SJ and get Hover/Fly. Just looks like a stronger build.

A suggestion and a question...

Suggestion: For each power above would you add a line under Range: that says Suggested Slotting: and then list your suggested slotting? You may even have to do a couple of these for each one as sometimes it depends on the build, but I think that would be nice for a quick reference.

For instance for Energy Torrent:
Suggested Slotting: 1 Accuracy, 1 Cone Ext, 4 Damages
Suggested Slotting (Device Blasters): etc, etc.

DONE!

also added a little more info on nova's damage structure.

Thank you! This makes it even easier to remind yourself of what to slot at a glance. Best thread ever!

Being a level 50 NRG/NRG blaster. I am enjoying reading over this and finding almost everything here accurate. ..I do also use SS + Stealth to manuever. But have kept both fly and hover both however have movement speed in them.

The only reason I can see to Keep fly is , impatience in my case...

So you feel the ease of maneuverability with fly outweighs the speed and defense of combat jumping/sj/acrobatics?

And i can't stress how useful Stealth/SS combo is for an energy blaster because positioning is EVRYTHING. also the safety of not aggroing extra mobs when you toss one of them into a pack is useful.

That's the truth. Getting Stealth/SS has completely changed my game and made it SO much better. I wouldn't ever do without it.

Hover 6 slotted (speed does increase w/ level, as I found when I exemplared this weekend from 47 to 20 for the Positron TF) gives you a vertical movement power to suppliment SS, and is helpful in the 40+ Shard zone.

SJ gives you the horizontal and vertical movement powers, and is incredibly fun, but using the SS+Hover combo prob. sacrifices defense for making you invisible when adding stealth. I'd say it's a playstyle apples v. oranges difference. Both offer benefits! If you're curious wait until you get another respec then before you choose your power copy yourself onto the test server.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but would you mind posting a link to how to copy yourself to the test server? I want to try this. Also, once copied, is it easy to reconfigure your powers?

Question: Why hover 6 slotted instead of Combat Jumping/SJ/Acrobatics? These are so strong for defense, I kinda thought they were crucial to all Blasters. You have me wondering if I could dump all three slots for one Hover... I mean, with Hover 6-slotted with something can you get over all walls, etc?

Thanks again for your excellent guide.

I have to tell you, I've been using your guide from day one and it's spot-on. Thank you for taking the time to write it! Excellent work!

Any chance of making stores appear on the maps and making them clickable? Or at least allowing us to put tacks on points permanently? With everything else on the map it's kinda silly that stores and Icon shops aren't on there...
