Gotta think past PvP here mate, would it be effective against enemies? most enemies have long range or short range and melee, in all i think that fly is a decent power for blasters...another recommended is stealth/invisibility and or phase shift, very useful if u get in trouble.

yea but id love a blaster to be PvP built,it would be nice to see a high damage SO'd blaster with flight in warburg not being able to be touched by most scrapper and tankers without flight.
Then you've just answered your own question 
I do agree flight is a good power for a blaster, especially in PvP, watch urself for dominators 
Oh by blaster u mean Corruptor? because u know that Heroes cant attack each other in PvP, so your comment on Tankers and Scrappers not being able to attack you is incorrect.

I take it you've never been to Warburg.
Heroes can and do fight each other.
erm yeah inf (theres a place named warburg)
yeah thats effective, but at high lvls when youve got slots to spare its even more effective to slot hover with 4-6 flight speed solos.
It becomes very fast, costs very little endurance, gives a defence buff and better still allows you to fire and move at the same time.
It really is awesome and id suggest it to anyone :P

That would be great if it was not for ED. 3 slot is the way to go - it's still useful but you sure ain't gonna chase anyone down with it.
IN MEMORIUM OF GAYBABY
CRUELY TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD WHILE SO YOUNG
Lol when i posted that i hadnt played on my blaster since ED and you are right it is MUCH slower than it used to be.
I have 5 solos in it and that used to make me as fast as no-slot fly; now its not very fast at all.
Its about walking pace, which makes it much less useful; plz ignore what i said above :S

Hmm, i got a blaster with fly.. and i thought of that to, to slott hover.. but, after the ED u can only slott it with 3 fly ehn's, so is it really worth it?
3 slotted hover is well worth it if u want some manoeuverability in pvp, ewsp if u are a /nrg blsater or /ice dom as they get power boost which adds more than 100% base flight speed to it.
and as emp said, heroes can and do fight in warburg, much to the dismay of most of them when im there 
even tho my own sg mates tend to smack me down a bit there
and with so many (2 ish) brutes running perma missions there then the herovs villain stats are crazy and the one buffs mean rthat heroes take a pounding 
Plight
P.S. Mikey Lockdown and co, i was just getting into the spirit of pvp when i stole all your launch codes btw, nothing personal, you ar good peopl
Fly+Snowstorm=you walking
3 slotted hover just doesn't cut it for me on the mobility stakes. I had 6 slotted hover on most of my blasters, I absolutely loved it, it felt heroic to be zooming about the sky like that. I tend to team with kinetics a lot in PvE so I've held on to hover as it's OK with speed boost, and I can work round it on builds that are mostly ranged when I'm soloing, but for the one that likes to get in to mele a lot (and back out again on occasion) I've added TP as well as hover. She moves around very nicely again now, I can hold from range than TP straight in to mele and blap away - it's also a nice extra to have in PvP incase anyone -flys me and there's plenty of powers that do that. I don't do a huge amount of PvP, but I don't want to be a sitting duck when I do - from some admittedly limited testing it seems to be working quite nicely.
Fly+Impale = you standing very still on the ground, or even lying face down.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
Want to get around fast? TP with hover... get high, stay there and shoot.
now i like that doulos!!!!
yeah tp with hover is the way to go. great for emergency running away too
But then I think tp must have hover to make it viable.
Even then beware, the skys are not a safe haven I've had a few running low lvl skirmishes in pvp.
Hover is very practicle in PvE aswell as PvP. i've had it for about 33 levels now and i still use it in combat. All the PvE enemies most powerful attacks are at melee range, hence if we hover OUT of melee range we'r safer. thats why Scrappers get defences and we dont, cos we'r meant to be at RANGE (no Plight im not talkin bowt you, you Blappin' fool you)
Shnyet AWAY
If your talking about "in combat" hover is the way to go, the defence bonus is nice, hardly any endurance cost, and even better no suppresion. I know many players who swear by hover in battle.
For fly, as a travel power, i recently respecced into it and its to slow for my liking.
PS, knockback protection-you arent knocked to the ground when hovering you just spin around.
I have being thinking of making a blaster and getting him flight so i can stay away from nasty brutes! think that would be effective?
