My Blapper Build


Expeditor

Right-e-oh then. I have just downloaded Hero Builder, and tried it out on this Blaster I recently started. Here's what I'm planning.

I'd like you to take into account that some powers are 4 slotted with the same thing (didn't realise I was doing it, then couldn't be bothered to change it), and that hasten is 2 slotted until around lvl 30 lol. This would be different in practice.

I have an energy blaster myself, and I like it a lot, comparing to my tank who has a lot more rigid build. (ie. not much chance to change the order of powers).

I'd take build-up earlier, maybe swap energy punch with build-up.

Nice, thanks.

Hey Chi,
Ignore power bolt, it's wanky!

Edit: you really need to sort out your slotting too. Get energy punch, bone smasher, power blast and power burst 6 slotted. Those are the only attacks you really need. Don't bother with explosive blast, that's poor too. If you really want an AoE attack get energy torrent, but I'd personally forget that too. Maybe later today I'll post my blapper build up for you

Heh, thanks. But I haven't made him yet!

Would just like to offer a handful of suggestions, just because I seem to spend more time on planning heroes than playing them these days

First, I'd suggest leaving Conserve Power until 22 so that you can get Stamina at 20 - by no means a necessary change, but Conserve Power has such a long recharge that Stamina is the more useful power. That said, I certainly wouldn't dump Conserve Power entirely because it is a great power, especially when facing AVs for instance, when you just want to be laying into him with everything you've got

I'd suggest getting Buildup and Aim as early as possible really - they're great powers and they come back quicker than you might think. With both of them you can pretty much just alternate from one fight to the next.

I've never been a big fan of snipes - I certainly haven't missed having one on my ice/energy blaster. As a blapper, you'd likely get more utility out of Stun, which should work nicely for disorienting one minion/lieutenant while you take out his buddies. With Boost Power doubling the duration as well, it can be used to great effect, removing a particularly threatening mob from the fight. Power Push can also be useful for the same reason - I gather you can quite easily keep an enemy permanently on his back, just knock him into a corner and keep him there.

Anyway, below is a build based on my thoughts above - I've omitted the whole colour thing, because it offends my eyes It's very much a single target attack oriented build. I suppose one AoE might be nice - I gather Energy Torrent is generally preferred over Explosive Blast.

01) --> Power Thrust==> Acc(1) Acc(37)

49) --> Combat Jumping==> Jump(49) Jump(50)



Whatever you end up with, good luck and enjoy

EDIT: Given further thought, the medicine pool is well worth considering, certainly later on when you can use Aid Self while in your Personal Force Field. Of course squeezing it in is the hard part!

Here ya go Chi, this is something like my build at the moment (although I'm only at 1 at the mo)
The philosophy is that I want to deliver a colossal amount of single target damage in a short time, and nothing else. Snipe is in there cos I saw someone do an insane divebomb to get defiance up high then sniping
Lots of slots thrown at my maneuverbility for PvP, and helps a bit in PvE too

Looks nice Irra, just put 1 more acc in power thrust, the knockback can really help against bosses and stuff. +for PvP after you toggle knock you have take alot of damage against scraps or other blappers(they normally have a tendency to hit back) so 1 good power thrust sends them flying and gives you time to get off a couple of uber defiance powered attacks.
