It seems that you are defining blapping as a single style, when there are as many as you would want there to be. Everything I've said works, everything you've said works, neither are wrong, it depends on how you enjoy playing.

Not entirly correct. Are you intending to be a PvP or PvE blapper, because that makes a big difference?

As a PvE player: fly will always be the safest way for a blaster to travel, EM Pulse is good for a panic button when soloing, a quick bit of crowd control in a team and a pre-nuke power, keeping you safe from any not knocked out or missed by your big boom.

If it's PvP advice you're after, then I haven't a clue...

It looks a none [censored] up build, but remember to keep hold of your respecs and try out any changes on the test server.

We have been known to all descend on Blindfaith and Captain Morgan's for a drunken BBQ too! We all got on famously even though most of us had never met before in "reality".

It was also nice meeting someone from ingame (Toerag) that was older than me.

I've just remembered my board password! W00t!

Is it really a year since AS posted the call to join up? I tried to join on that first night, but by the time I'd logged on and arrived in Atlas, It was too late, but I caught him on the next day.

The following 12 months have been the most consistantly fun gaming I've ever had.

Here's to all of you, great guys, one and all.

I think several people won't be ready for it. Instead, let's all get drunk while taking down Hami (for about 2.5 seconds).

Agreed, all being the same is NOT for the Rangers (unless it's funny at the time)

Let's face it, we will probably never settle on a standard uniform, we're just happy being like minded.

We have so much to say on our own boards, that this has become the spammage overflow.

Oddly enough, I've seen a small upturn in teamage, with some decent quality PUG's around.

You mean he hit the ramdom button agian and played with colours.

You mean, there's another way?!?

I agree, it's a good idea (although it's been done before) and in NO way does it deserve this kind of attack.

I may sign up too.

Chi, consider yourself spanked!

You lot ARE aware that the first time I did that, it was just an accident?

Do you guys find it odd that even though we have some of the longest serving and some of CoX's best players in the SG, and we try to have an open and friendly attitude, we still seem to be a target to some of the more miserable posters out there? (I'm not including Chives, as he's just a sad PR wannabe, but he makes me giggle)

Why are others so envious of us?

[ QUOTE ]
A proper blaster is a ranger, and nothing more. Oh yeah, except they have to be faceplanted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry to correct you, but a proper Blaster can be in any SG, it's just the BEST proper blasters in the Rangers.

He did!!

I never said he survived it, just that he solo'd them when bored!

He's also single handedly tackled every GM in the game, and several he royally slaughtered! (though this was before they fixed them)

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds like a proper Blaster...

or are we beyond that now

Can't really say what's best but I can say this...

Energy - Primary is great! Fast recharge on most, and some heavy damage. Eats up end but Stamina (when you finally get it) solves the problem.

Electricity - Secondary - Sucks! Other than Electic Fence to hold runners down while I smack them with Energy bolts I actually dumped all of my Elec powers in my first respec. Gimped!

[/ QUOTE ]

Gah - what are you on about!! Elec secondary has some of the best blaster secondary powers!

Havoc punch and charged brawl do huge damage.(more than the energy secondary energy punch and bonesmasher)
You have a melee hold.
Lightning field for pesky stalker 'outing', and combine with a good tank, kinetics defender (fulcrum shift ftw!) you have a massive endurance draining hp reducing aura.
There is lightning clap for those sticky situations when surrounded.
Power sink for when you run out of endurance
And of course build up.
Ignore thunderstrike tho as that IS pants.

[/ QUOTE ]ROFL at 1st quote here, i think blasters, melee heavy ones in particular, are not ur thing, i also think /elec rocks most ppls worlds from once side or the other

to kronosy, erm, TS has almost as much dmg as TF, a high chance to mag 2 stun target, mag 4 (bosses without uber resist) knockback to target and a very high chance to KB mag in an AoE, not to mention AoE splash dmg, so in a mob it actually does more than TF. combind with how safe elec as a total theme makes u, TS is not a risky power in many situations.

[/ QUOTE ]


AfAIk, TS has same damage as TF, but with 'added extras'. Point is tho, you can get hp, cb out in the same time as the activation of TS - which together, is more damage than TS or TF. Hence imo, TS is pants.
I'd avoid TS altogether, too slow for me.
Personal preference tho.

[/ QUOTE ]kronos watch this series of events

aim
BU
charged brawl (acro off, depending on AT, this would be for squishy)
havoc punch - KB most likely, failing that, sleep
thunder strike - even if the KB happened before,the animation hits as they are springing up
dead person

anyone who isnt mezzed at the end of this is pretty tough (i7 melee ATs fair enough, but thasts another method)

there is also this method for none acro squishies with BFs

aim
BU
thunder strike - KB, total focus cannot do this
charged brawl
havoc punch
dead person

in the second one swap the order of havoc punch and thunder strike if u need to take acro off or 1st (note that sleep cuts thru acro with about 60% chance)

so, TS = pants, i think not, infact, its the very reason my 44 on onion is not as good as my 50 on deviant, stimulant has less to do with it, TS is what mashes things up for u, it ha the single most utility/damage/mez out of all the /elec powers

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

I know that - i just have other powers that i'd rather take.
See if in between ur cb and hp, i hit you with screech, u don't get that chain going and lose ur aim and bu as by the time you've popped a b/f they have worn off.
I prefer to be more flexible in my approach, and i can always use my primaries god forbid!
Also doesn't work so well on a hovering squishy, with or w/o kb protection.
And as you say, come i7 things have changed a little.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kros, I'm happy to take any of your 50's into the arena and show you how wrong you are about TS. As with most powers, it's all about timing and it is so much more effective than you think.

[ QUOTE ]
Am I the first to notice the change that Aeronaut made to that list...

Nope.

TTFN Bolt, we all hope to see you again someime.

Closer to 3 times (we've posted about 15000 in total (including before the great board wipe) whereas GG has yet to manage 10000 (after carrying over all their posts, the cheatin' buggers).

On top of that, we've managed 5700 posts on out own forum too!
