You can swap grant invis with mutation or some other more useful power when you get the recharge alpha slot. Also move a slot out of hasten and into EF for more end redux. If you have inf to blow 6 slot tough with a full set of glad armor, and move the steadfast unique to MoB and replace the other slots there with ribos.

Neither.

softcapped range def + perma hasten/am + 60% s/l resist + almost perma IW

Probably go recharge or end redux since I'll have a range def capped blaster. More recharge would push my global to 110% + hasten, more end redux would allow me to attack more without breaking to use powersink.

warmace is pretty close. Bane crowd control from hide also makes me giddy.

Focus on recharge and get shadowmeld.

1) Keep some of your aoes, this is an aoe centric game, after all.
2) You can go either s/l or ranged defense but pick one and stick to it.

S/L looks ideal for a melee centric blaster because melee attacks often carry a s/l component. The advantage of s/l is that since a large portion of your defense comes from the epic shield you won't have to invest as many powers/slots into ramping up your defenses, therefore allowing you more room to play with other set bonuses such as recharge. Kinetic combats are pretty expensive though, and you'll probably need a set of 4 or 2 sets to get to the s/l softcap.

In practice, a lot of ranged mezzes/disruption attacks don't have a s/l component. About half your s/l defense comes from your epic shield, and when mezzed its defense suppress. So you risk losing a significant amount of your mitigation if you are tagged with a mez, and you do so in melee range, the last place a blaster wants to be when mezzed. In a team situation where you have access to cm/clarity/thaw/antidote you should do well.

Ranged defense is ideal for ranged blasters (blah!) but it benefits "blappers" as well. For reasons I mentioned above it provides coverage against some ranged mezzes. If you know how to move you can always dictate that all enemies are using ranged attacks against you. Plus you are not as dependent on a single power contributing almost half your defense, meaning that when mezzed you will retain a significant amount of ranged defense because they come from set bonuses, which don't suppress. Because of this heavy investment in IO set bonuses it also can exemp very well if you choose to build for it. Also, since you are not locked down on certain epic pools for defense you can pick a resist shield and add layered resists on top of your defenses.

However, ranged def builds are not as flexible as s/l builds because you'll tailor a lot of set bonuses to ranged defense. And to really get the most of such builds you'll have to move around a lot and kite mobs. Just like S/L builds it does have holes, 5th column grenades will tear through range def builds because those attacks don't have a ranged component.

Below is a rough i19 range def build I put together which has a bit of AoE as well. The empty slots in rest represent stamina slotting-1 generic end mod and 3 performance shifters including the proc for the HP bonus. As you can see almost all my set bonuses went toward range defense, leaving little room for recharge.

Though my choice of defense may suggest otherwise, fire/elec is not meant to favor ranged play. Fire is so strong that you could hoverblast and avoid melee and only use the punches as moves of desperation but doing so makes fire/elec lose a lot of it's luster. If you are wondering how does a range capped blaster stay in melee and blap, the answer is it doesn't, it hops in and out of melee range when there is a crowd but never stays in melee range for too long.

I chose to build for ranged defense because of a few reasons: 1) I can avoid more mezzes and dictate how an enemy is to hit me 2) Going s/l means the build exemps poorly, as more than half your def is lost when you exemp for mid level stuff. 3) Going s/l means you'll still get hit for the full amount, or close to it, when you do get hit. Going ranged means I have the luxury of picking up an epic resist shield, stack it with tough and get some decent resists for layered mitigation.

Darkhealer, that's about how I have mine setup right now, with hibernate as my panic button. However, you do hit a threshold where adding additional recharge depreciates in value. Is .2 second recharge improvement on blaze worth squeezing in an additional 15% recharge? Well that's certainly up to the individual but I felt that I could do better by diversifying my set bonuses once my recharge is that high.

Previously when I tried to build for defense I ended up sacrificing a lot of recharge but this will no longer be the case come i19. I was able to come up with a build with 87.5% recharge on top of hasten, capped hp, and softcapped ranged defense, and +13% damage bonus to boot. I lost out on a faster recharging aim and build up but I gained so much more survivability that I deemed it a more than fair tradeoff.

Put a numina proc in health and the perf shifter proc as in the third slot in stamina. It's an expensive high end build but it covers a lot of the bases. Maybe it'll give you some ideas about how you would like to go about speccing yours.

The pets die pretty quickly under AE farm conditions with multiple ambushes so I can see someone tailoring a build without the pets. But for average game play they help out quite a bit.

Going back to the AE farm situation I am going to guess that the OP is dying because he doesn't really have steady AoE chain to make SC fodder. Orbiting death and dark detonation isn't enough to quickly cut through mobs and unchain essence isn't spammable. I would imagine that he'd get a lot better results going flying resist capped nova blaster dropping down occasionally for SC/eclipse refuel on that AE rather than the current setup.

I don't now why people bother building for run speed when TP and taunt and ranged AoEs are available. It's not like running can get said tank to places that TP can't take them. The major hole to plug up when building a tank in granite is the recharge hole, but another equally viable option is to softcap said tank outside of granite and only use granite as a panic button. Either way I think building for run speed is completely unnecessary if one plans to take TP on a stone tank, as there are way better bonuses to stack.

I probably won't invest in anymore toggles. Boosting recharge will be a priority, so hasten or lotg placeholders are on the list. Also, low maintenance slot efficient powers like quicksand or sonic cage are worth consideration as well.

Joust your killing blow on the super stunner. His rez is like the warshades rez, you and your teammates feed it. If no one is in range he won't rez and you won't get tagged with an autohit end drain and the subsequent -recovery.

Anything but devices can do. I just wish /ice had greater ice sword or ice sword circle, or both.

You can make a mind/ff/stone to have softcapped range, s/l and psi def.

The one thing that illusion control lacks is a reliable means to generate AoE containment. Flash is all you got and it's on a long timer. Containment will enable you to do double damage on your targets. The villain epics don't really offer anything to help you either. Strictly from a damage perspective, frost breath does the most damage per activation that's on a reasonable timer according to mids.

From a utility perspective I'd still stick with primal and pick up power blast, energy torrent and power boost, the last pick being the real gem of the entire pool. As a bonus you can slot a force feedback proc into torrent for more recharge.

I just finished leveling/IOing my earth/sonic and the results are fantastic. When I started the toon I set out to build a controller that was extremely sturdy and can be played very aggressively for speed TF runs and the build accomplishes just that.

Build highlights:

Softcapped range def
Capped s/l resist
Moderate ~50% recharge bonus

Here's the build

If you are looking for an excuse to start a /sonic troller, this setup should be a pretty darn good excuse.

You got all caught up with the softcap craze. It's great for a lot of toons but you don't need it for an ill/emp.

CoX isn't about healing once you get past SO levels, rethink your priorities and learn what it means to play support in CoX. Hint: the slotting on fortitude makes most vets cringe.

If you want to do damage then slot your attacks for damage. If you want AoE damage then buff your phantasm and pick up something from the epic. It's not the best at AoE, you'll do ok with single target though.

Here's my build, emphasis on recharge to get those emp buffs recycled as quickly as possible. You can replace the purples with less expensive IO sets.

A shield scrapper on SOs isn't going to perform all that well. I don't know a single scrapper in those pylon tests that isn't IOed out. Not that I'm endorsing the pylon tests as the definitive benchmark for performance, I think it's a waste of time. Most things in this game die in a few aoe volleys, sustained DPS is only meaningful in maybe 5% of game content, if that much.

Any blaster can softcap defense through IOs, just like shield scrappers achieve soft cap through IOs.

Currently I run my blasters softcapped to range with 50% s/l resist for layered defenses, along with ~50% recharge bonus. I don't see any sacrifices to my offense for this other than the lowered recharge compared to a pure recharge build.

With i19 I can have it all, my fire/elec/leviathan is planned to have softcapped range def, 50% s/l resist, and 80% recharge plus hasten.

Put a blaster on equal footing and the survivability argument holds a bit less ground. I'll concede the deficiency in mez protection though. Unlike a s/l def build, however, when mezzed a range capped defense blaster is still going to retain a significant portion of his def bonuses because he isn't as reliant on the epic shield.

Sure I'm not getting defense to all positions like a scrapper does but the scrapper is limited by being able to do his thing in melee range. You can toss examples like epic or spines or claws but really, if a scrapper stood at the perimeters spamming those attacks then he isn't being 100%.

The blaster, on the other hand, enjoys the luxury of being able to dish out pain from range more consistently, this means that they can be on the offensive even when running away. They can also hop in and out of combat to make use of their secondary. Before anyone makes the claim that melee is bad or thinks they need s/l defense to go into melee, go watch someone joust melee attacks/pbaoes.

In the end it all comes down to how much are you going to invest in your toons. EZ mode is ez mode regardless of AT.

I would suggest Rad/Energy. Missing gold side sucks and hurts and I find beginner's luck doesn't help all that much when dealing with the +1 mobs that inundate most missions. Rad has a fair mix of AoEs, -def, and a few mitigation tools available. I think it'd make the ride a little less frustrating.

Or sonic/energy, but after siren's song, prior I still think rad/energy would be a easier ride.

Elec/thermal/soul

KCs are expensive and wouldn't fit my definition of "cheap," and you butchered the slotting on your biggest hitter, the slotting on dull pain isn't too hot either. Here's a much cheaper and better slotted level 50 build. You'll be softcapped to all but psi with one enemy in invincibility range. The LoTG 7.5s and miracles are probably the most expensive pieces of this build, but I think overall it's much cheaper than getting 4 sets of KCs.

It's a bit early but I'm starting to plan out my i19 build. my current build is strictly built for recharge but i19 is going to give me the ability to keep my recharge and beef up my defense as well. I'm not a big fan of s/l defense, instead I prefer ranged def + modest resists for layered mitigation even though I make very liberal use of my melee attacks. After playing around in Mids a bit this is what I came up with.

Highlights:
-Softcapped range defense
-45% S/L resist
-Capped HP with accolades
-87% recharge bonus + Hasten
-I trow sharkz!

There shouldn't be any differentiation between a blaster and a blapper. If you aren't using your secondary you are only half a blaster, and it's the same if you only use your secondary.

The traditional super teams bore me to tears. I joined an all electric super team a while ago on freedom and after level 8 when everyone got short circuit, I thought to myself that this is pretty much it for the next 42 levels, the same routine every mob. It was very effective, but at the same time tremendously boring after the excitement of realizing the concept wore out.

That's why I don't like the tried and true super team formulas that trivialize the game to a point where you might as well just let the game play itself.

I don't have anything against easy xp but one day I'd like to see some individuals step up and make a super team that is challenging and exciting. But for now PuGs is a good alternative for me...
