If you all could help sort this mess out. TO keep it simple I left our purples for now.

I wouldn't build for these characteristcs on a blaster. I'd prioritize +recharge, +ranged defense, +dmg and maybe +hps. You won't even notice the regen while fighting because you'll be taking in far more incoming damage than can be accounted by natural regen.

Also, you seem to be just slapping IO sets in powers without really thinking about how to optimize your build. Putting the +end perf shifter in power sink for example is nonsensical.

I'm not going to pick apart your build because frankly there's too much I'd disagree with. I don't think, for example, you should suboptimize damage for any blaster attack (unless you have a very good reason). Having sub 95% damage in power burst and shocking grasp are bad slotting decisions.

Also, you need to think about how to use pools. I wouldn't bother with taking leadership, if you're going to slot them that way...if you need 1 IO filler powers, go for concealment...invis, stealth and phase all allow you to slot useful IOs.

What I see is a lot of expensive IOs all going for a suboptimal build.

Hence why I am asking for help.
I am trying to Stay away from Melee and being a blapper.
I am only in mid 30's, am a new player and I refuse to farm AE. I am trying to learn, and have read quiet a bit and have asked for help when I first started in a forum post. However, noone replied.
Most of the Set's I put in have Recovery/Rng Def/Acc and Dmg.
I tried to follow the rules of 5 and ED. But I know there is something I am messing up. So, pick it apart if you want and help a new guy out.

I don't have Mid's on this computer (it's Linux and I can't get it to run on it), so I can't provide you an example build. But generally, when I build blasters, I generally think of the build first using SO only slotting and then fit in sets that gives you the same or better attributes.

So attacks (if slotted with SOs) should have 1 - 2 accuracy, 3 damage and 1 - 2 recharge and/or 1 - 2 end redx depending on what kind of attack it is. Endurance expensive attacks get end redx, moderate recharge but cheaper attacks may get more recharge.

What most veteran players know is that most characters run out of endurance because they spam endurance expensive attacks quickly not because they have lots of recovery. It's why a lot of endurance recovery bonuses are somewhat overrated. Sure, they're nice to have, but you optimize your powers first then look to get recovery bonuses. I've seen plenty of misinformed characters wonder why they run out of endurance when they have both the miracle +recovery, numina +regen/recovery and 3 slotted stamina.

Most invention sets if you 6 slot them tend to provide good accuracy, damage, recharge and end redx, but not necessarily. Thunderstrikes for example, are actually optimal with 4 or 5 slots (depending on what level you get them at). However that ranged def bonus you get with the 6th slot is awesome, so many players opt to 6 slot them.

The 6 slot bonus for Devastation for example isn't nearly as useful. It provides +def against psionic attack, which isn't nearly as common as ranged attacks, and isn't a useful attribute for you to maximize. Devastation is a good set and it provides a great damage boost, but for a ranged fighter, stacking small ranged +def bonuses you'd get from Thunderstrike would be more useful.

The other thing I noticed in your build is you don't really know how many slots you need to devote to each power. Some things you mislotted IMO:

- Aim - 6 slotted Gaussians only provide 66% recharge. Aim (and build up) is a power you want up as often as you can. I'd put 5 Adjusted Targeting in there. I'd also personally only slot build up with 3 recharge. Gaussians is simply better in toggle type powers like tactics and targeting drone, but some builds that don't take tactics, 6 slot Gaussians in aim hoping to offset the low recharge stat with lots of global recharge bonuses.

- Leadership powers:
Assault: Needs at least 1 end redx, perhaps 2. Personally, I'd take manuevers since the AT value for leadership for blasters is low. In manuevers, I'd slot it with a Luck of the Gambler +recharge.

Tactics: 6 slot with Gaussians if you can afford the slots. Otherwise, 3 tohit/end redx, from different IO sets will do in a pinch.

Stamina - I generally slot stamina with 1 generic end mod IO, 1 perf shifter end mod and then the perf shifter +end proc. 6 slotting it with Eff Adapter is nice if you can afford the slots, but usually there are better ways to invest those slots.

Hasten - 3 recharge! You want this up as much as possible.

I would not use the damage procs for either explosive blast or nova. You want to maximize damage and accuracy and by slotting the procs (which only fires off 10% of the time), you suboptimize both powers.

I've already talked about power burst and havoc punch. Ensure both have adequate accuracy, damage, recharge and end redx if needed.

Overall, look at what each power needs in terms of attributes and maximize those instead of blindly slotting IOs just to get bonuses.

Thank you kindly for your advice.

I had wanted to do my build with two 6 slotted thunder strikes on power bolt and power plast until I got up to lvl 50 however I was told Dev was better and I was a fool for not using it, which I did not quiet understand, kind of why I asked here.

Aim I currently Do have 6 slotted Adjust but had been told to switch it to Gauss
I have Build Up currently 5 slotted with Gaus

Leadership and Tactics I have never used, currently I have some melee and teleport friend, but I had been informed incase I head to pvp zones It is useful to pick up stalkers (I do not intend on pvping anytime soon, but just incase) And have no idea how it works or how to slot it.

Hasten I have currently 3 slotted, however many builds I see on the blaster threads are two slotted (but like I said I currently have it 3 slotted)

Again I would like to thank you as your post was insightful .

Devastation is a nice set, but I don't necessarily think it's better. I rather think it's questionable. It adds +regen (not that great for blasters), +health (good for blasters), +dmg (awesome for blasters), +hold res (so so for any AT because value is so small), and +psi def (not that great).

Thunderstrikes on the other hand provide +recovery (nice), +energy/ranged def (good for blasters), +accuracy (excellent for blasters), +movement speed (so so because value is so small), +ranged def (excellent for blasters).

Personally, I think it's a toss up. Devastations are good for the additional damage and health and that's why they're valued, but it depends on what you want out of your blaster. If you're building ranged capabilities, ranged defense is a much better thing to aim for, and hence Thunderstrikes is better for your build.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd 5 slot it with Adjust Targeting and skip the Tohit/end piece...that yields you 95+% recharge and a nice tohit bonus. The 6th Adj Targeting only provides minor status protection. It's nice, but not that great. The big bonus is the +5% recharge at the 5th slot.

[ QUOTE ]
I have Build Up currently 5 slotted with Gaus

[/ QUOTE ]

Personally, I just slot build up with 3 recharge and let it go. I use aim as my tohit power if I really need to hit anything, and build up I use mostly as a damage boost. You want build up available as often as you can have it. Shorting it with only 66% recharge (the max that Gaussian's set provides) short changes the power unless you have lots of other recharge bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]

You've been getting some really bad advice I see. Blaster leadership is absolutely worthless for spotting even a half competent stalker. Most PvP stalkers are at the stealth cap, completely invisible even with tactics on a blaster. If you're getting leadership for PvP, skip it. The pool to get is concealment so you can grab phase shift (the only way you can save yourself if damage spiked and webbed).

Also, build for PvE first then worry about PvP later. PvP builds are really odd now with the issue 13 PvP rules and what's optimal for PvP is wildly different than what works well with PvE.

Personally, I'd keep your very high damage melee attacks and recall friend. Both are much more useful than leadership.

[/ QUOTE ]

The blaster builds you often see have massive amounts of global recharge that makes up for the missing 3rd enhancement. Also at level 50, two level 50 recharge IOs is roughly 84% compared to 97% for 3 of them...most players live with that. For me, I'd rather have it up as often as I can, especially if you're not level 50 and can't slot the level 40+ IOs.

Also, look at some of the builds you see on the forums with a skeptical eye. Most of the builds you see posted are dream builds...most players don't have five sets of purples (which would amounts of billions of influence) and it's laughable IMO to plan for a build to include them. The vast majority of players use a build that is much much more modest.

I really wish players would post builds that were more realistic. It makes giving advice about builds easier to do. When I see a build posted for critique and it includes gobs of purples, more than 3 LoTG +recharges, all three of the health uniques and many other expensive sets, I have a hard time taking it seriously. Anybody can post a dream build. It takes far more knowledge and skill to post a build that does a lot with less.

Lastly, I want to point you to Paragon Wiki so you can look at the invention sets and decide for yourself what's worth it to you.

Good luck!

Here is my Nrg/Elec/Elec blapper build. While it's not a build you are looking for, I just wanted to demonstrate how to slot for set bonuses. This build went for +recharge (52.5%), +hp (219), and + dmg (34.5%).

I took some of your advice and here is were I currently am at. I will more then likely be dropping Gaus from BU and using those slots elsewhere, same with End, and dropping one of the mirales from healing. Just need to do some more number crunching..
Though I do Like the set bonus's I will be playin around a bit more to see what else I can do
(NOTE TEMP Invul and Tita Coating will more then likely not be slotted with sets, just tossed them in there for now. Personal Force and Up are my main worry for now as I do plan on one day gettin purples)

I updated your build alittle more, couldn't figure out why you weren't slotting the accuracy/damage enhancements.

Removed the Kismet: +6% Accuracy and slotted an Luck of The Gambler: Defense/Endurance

Slotted Miracle: Heal into Health for higher regeneration

Six slotted Performance Shifter into Stamina, you will get more endurance out of slotting the chance for endurance proc into Stamina as it is always on.

Six slotted Build Up for more defense.

Slotted Jaunt:Range/Endurance into Recall Friend

5 slotted Power Sink with Efficacy Adapter.

Removed two slots from Shocking Grasp and slotted it with Lock down: Accuracy/Hold and Accuracy/Recharge because it gave the same amount of damage bonus while allowing you to slot it for hold.

Slotted Steadfast Protection: Resistance/Defense and Knock back protection and Titanium Coating: Resistance/Endurance into Temporary Invulnerability.

Over if I had to change on thing I'd reccommend taking Havoc Punch and using it as it is pretty good attack. Also if you are going for range then I would suggest eliminating the focus of damage bonuses and going for ranged defense bonuses and recharge as they will do you a huge world of difference in terms of survivability.
