I rarely use Havok Punch because I try to stay at ranged distance... should I still slot it? Maybe later with SO's havig it slotted will make sense because I'll be near the mobs, but right now, I don't see the benefit of it. am I wrong?

Ooooooooh, so SO's were key for this to work? I didn't know that, hehehe.

So basically, help me make a rundown on the next few levels:

21: Slot... what? I'm thinking either LB or Zapp or another attack
22: Stamina or Hasten?
23: Same as 21
24: The one I don't pick from Stamina or Hasten in 22, right?

And then in 26 and 28, BU and Aim?

Ok, I'll do that

I tried that build out for a bit with my eng eng friend, and I can't drain the end out of even GREEN mobs in one SC shot with 3xEnd and 2xDmg, so right now it feels like a complete waste of slots and power. Is that a normal thing to feel? Also, I feel like all my attacks are now taking a whole lot to recycle because of no Hasten on this build and no Enhancements for attack rate... is it also normal? Basically, have I screwed up?

Well, I went ahead and respecced. Here's what I did, so please let me know if this is too bad and tell me what should I change!

Level:20

- Charged Bolts (1xAcc, 2xDmg)
- Lignting Bolt (1xAcc, 3xDmg)
- Ball Lightning (1xAcc, 3xDmg)
- Short Circuit (3xEndMod, 2xDmg)
- Zapp (1xAcc, 2xDmg)
- Tesla Cage (1xAcc, 1xHold)

- Electric Fence (1xAcc)
- Havok Punch (1xAcc, 1xDmg)

- Hover (1xFlight)
- Fly (2xFly, 1xEndRed)

- Swift (1xRun)
- Health (1xHeal)

and of course Brawl, etc with 1 slot and an appropiate enhancement.

Here's why I didn't follow your recepie to the letter:

I love Zapp, that's a first, heheh. Then, I need to keep up pace with my friend and his Flight (the Eng Eng blaster who plays with me). I choose CB over CBr because I like ranged a bit more, although now that I think about it, since I'm going END route, I'm going to be close to the mobs too, so CBr would've probably have been a better choice. The slotting is almost like what you recommended, but I sacrificed one from TC for Flight, and another one from CB for Fly as well. About Stamina, I figured I could get it at Level 22 unless I REALLY need to get BU or Aim by then.

Is this build good enough or have I messed up BIG time?

Also, since I play with that eng/eng blaster (who also needs to respec, btw) maybe I should focus more on attack than end drain, to kill faster since I always have a partner when I'm on this character... any suggestions on that?

I love the help you are giving me!

EDIT: Also, I see you don't have Hasten until much later levels... but I picked it up at level 18 and it really did HEAL my messed up blaster by quite a lot. any way of squeezing it in there?

That's awesome stuff man! The reason why I want Zapp tho is because I always play my elec/elec with my firend's eng/eng blaster, and we love our ZAPP/Sniper combo. Would it really kill the build to add Zapp over CB or one of the punches?

Yes, a revision of the guide is in the works.

OH and also, I want to KEEP Fly as my travel power for concept reasons, is that possible?

Yes. Air Superiority is a great blap... and Hover can be used with patience with 3 Flight SOs as knockback protection.

That's great news!
One thing tho, I want to respec TODAY if possible. Do you have any broad recommendations about certain powers and slotting for a level 20 character, with the things I mentioned before PLUS maybe keeping ZAPP and LB for ranged balance?

I thought I might add, my playstyle right now has me blasting from Ranged distance, rarely getting into Melee, I have just ONE slot in SC; CB 5 slotted, LB 6 Slotted, Zapp 5 slotted, Havok 2 slotted, Hasten 3 slotted, Ball Lightning 2 slotted and that's pretty much it.

OH and also, I want to KEEP Fly as my travel power for concept reasons, is that possible?

I have a lvl 19 Elec/Elec Blaster myself, and I thought I had screwed up with it because compared to just about EVERYTHING else in the game , I did no damage and got killed a lot. Then I found your guide, saw HOPE... then I realized that things were destroyed at I6.

NOW that I7 is back and from what I understand, EndDrain is set to PERCENTAGE instead of fixed damage, will this build work again? Are you going to revise your guide? I have that free Respec that was given out on thursday waiting for me, because I desperetaly want to fix my Blaster.

If I tell you that from Elec manipulation I have ONLY: Fence and Havok... yea, I think I've said enough, hehe. My blaster is SO broken, so I want to respec it into kickingbutt-ness

PLEASE revise your guide and give me some good news!!!
