Interesting guide, but you messed up BoneSmasher's damage. It's not 4.5, it'd suck if it was that low.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
I pretty much assumed that the numbers were wrong (faulty hero builder) but I wrote this guide to waste some time and didnt want to test everything for myself.

I think your guide is excellent. I made a real good PvE fire/nrg to lvl 50 b4 u posted this. I took all the primary powers except Rain of Fire and Fire Breath. I took all good blapping powers which consist of Power Thrust, Energy Punch, Bone Smasher, Build Up and Total Focus[/color]. With the secondary, I also got Conserve Power and Power Boost. The only regret I have is getting PB. I took it as my lvl 49 power to help me hold when i took Char, part of the fire mastery pool. I also took hover, recall, TP. Hasten helps alot also when blapping. I am going to respec my toon in a few days to make him more effective PvP wise.
I plan to get rid of Hover, Flares and PB. To replace those powers, I will get Combat Jumping, Super Jump and Acrobatics. I know some of you are thinking, why keep TP? Well, to be honest tp gets me out of a jam in PvP zones. And when some 1 is dying I can take them out of a battle. I'm still uncertain if I want tp foe, but I do think it is a must have for ultimate blapping.
Wow, looking back on this, I am ashamed of how little time i spent on it.
I think I got my point across but I sound like a little kid thats allergic to grammar.

kinda brief, needs a good bit of work. Couple points stand out to me.
1) Skipping Power Boost is a mistake. You're aiming for the blapper audience, and you've pimped bonesmasher/total focus. Why would you not recommend a power that doubles stun duration, when you're blapping?
2) You wrote nothing in regards to Energy Punch.
3) It's Power Thrust, not Power Push.
4) Boost Range effects cones, so it's a big hit for Fire Breathers.
5) Tactics section is too short, it's a Guide; put something in to seperate it from a build post.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but it could be better.
oh, and if you're gonna update for I8, make Blaze a 40' range.
So I decided to post this guide, really, because I dont have anyhting else to do (I guess I could play ther game....meh). Anyway...here goes. (Ill be using Hero Builder numbers)
::Fire Blast::
Flares
Dmg:1.97
Recharge:2.18
Range:80
Cost:3.692
MY TAKEThis attack SUCKS lol, at least for a blapper. This might be nice if you absolutely need another ranged attack but, this is a blapper build.
Skip it
------------------------------
Fire blast
dmg:3.6112
Recharge:4
Range:80
Cost:5.12
MY TAKE This is a great attack for killing those pansie runners. In my opinion, every blapper build needs some range in thier builds. This is a wonderful attack that can be used to finish guys off as well as whittle them down
Take it
------------------------------
Fire Ball
Dmg:3.3334 (AoE)
Recharge:16
Range:80
Cost:15.184
MY TAKE This your burst AoE attack, if you want to be an AoE blapper then youre gonna need this attack. it also works as a single target attack thats better than flares, just be careful with it.
Take it or die
------------------------------
Rain of Fire
Dmg:3.0558 (Rain, AoE)
Recharge:60
Range:60
Cost:26
MY TAKE I fart in this power's general direction. It doesnt do enough damage in my opinion and on top of that, it scatters groups of enemies. This would be a fine getaway power or trapping power, its useable, but I dont think it is neccisary for this build AT ALL.
Pick it up and punt it out of your build
------------------------------
Fire Breath
Dmg:4.875 (AoE)
Recharge:16
Range:10
Cost:15.184
MY TAKE This is the other must-have AoE power. When you combine this with Build Up, Aim, and Fireball, you will kill everything in your path.
Take it and give it your couch to sleep on
-------------------------------
Aim
Duration:10
For those you you who dont already know, it boosts you damage by 62.5% and Accuraxcy by 100%.
Obviously you will be taking this.
------------------------------
Blaze
Dmg:7.139
Recharge:10
Range:20
Cost:10.4
MY TAKEThis attack is frackin awesome.It works great in your blap chain due to its limited range and has amazing damage.
take, nurse, and cradle this, its great.
------------------------------
Blazing Bolt
Dmg:8.9168
Recharge:12
Range:150
Cost:14.352
MY TAKE This isnt totally neccisary but its fun and does great damage. Its the snipe for the set (also the most damaging snipe in the game). It recharges oddly fast and works nicely.
Take it if you please, otherwise dont, it isnt neccisary.
------------------------------
Inferno
Dmg:12.5001(PBAoE)
Recharge:360
Range:25 (Circular)
Cost:20.8
MY TAKE How could you not take this power, it the set's "nuke". works especially well if you hit Firebreath and Fireball beforehand, should decimate everyhting.
Grab it but be as humane as you can, try not to destroy the entire world.
------------------------------
------------------------------
::Energy Manipulation::
Power Push
MY TAKE This is a great power. It has nice soft control and can get guys our of your face.
You have to get it anyway....plus its awesome
-----------------------------
Energy Punch
Dmg:
Recharge:
Range:
Cost:
MY TAKE
------------------------------
Build Up
Duration:10
For those of you who arent familiar with this power, it boosts you dmg by 100% and Acc by 62.5%.
You have to take this power, its a law.
-----------------------------
Bone Smasher
Dmg:4.5556
Recharge:14
Range:5
Cost:13.52
MY TAKEThis is suck a freakin great power. You must get it.
Take it. Slot it. Love it.
------------------------------
Conserve Power
Duration:90
This attack will reduce the amount of endurance you use with each attack. ho wcan you go wrong with that?
Take it.
------------------------------
Stun
My Take Does what the name suggests:stuns. This power ahs a really long animation and really isnt worth it
Get it and you will be put on the mafias hit list.
------------------------------
Power Boost
Duration:15
MY TAKE This is a great power but not for this set. It enhances the secondary effects of powers....idk, I dont think its worth the slot.
Skip it
------------------------------
Boost Range
Duration:15
MY TAKE If you cant tell what this does then, Im sorry, but you have the comprehension of a 5 month old llama. I dont think this is a neccisary power but if you must ahve it then go for it, it isnt all that bad.
Id suggest you skip it but take it if you feel like you have to
------------------------------
Total Focus
Dmg:9.8889
Recharge:20
Range:5
Cost:18.512
MY TAKEThis is an awesome power. Freakin good damage and 100% chance of stun. You hafta get this and use it to decimate everyone you feel you should.
Take it, take it, take it.
------------------------------
------------------------------
::Power Pools::
Fitness: a must have for a buidl liek this, its all about stamina.
Concealment: I took stealth cause its a good PvE power
Speed: Hasten is too good to pass up for this build, plus SS is nice
I would also suugest....
Leaping: Acrobatics is great
Leadership: If you want to PvP then grab tactics.
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
::Tactics::
Heres what worked best for me:
Start out with with Hasten+Aim+Build Up+Firebreath (always use firebreath first)+Fireball then I run in and blap the Whatever is left to death. If there are a lot of people left then you wait for Aim and Build up to pop back up and hit Inferno to finish the suckers off.
For blap chains just use it however you feel niccisary. if some1 runs away then stay where you are and hit then with ranged attacks to pull thier aggro again or kill them.
Hopefully this helps somebody, I had fun making it. heres my build for those of you who dont want to read all the stuff I posted above.
