Device blaster

Dear ppl,

I have a 43 fire/dev blaster, I made it a PVP build.
so i got acrobatics and combat jumping on. I have aid self to heal/anti-disorientate(have to test anti-disorientate tho). But there is no anti-sleep in the gen-pool. any1 got any suggestions for that?

I dont use cloack cause I am fast so when I attack I dont have to stealth, and the stealth got supressed when I attack so its useless.
I got however smoke-grenade, but this only works on its max range, they dont see me then for 12 seconds. You know in PVP you normally get very close as blaster, its hard to keep the max distance, and then I only can use 3 attack powers instead of 5 (flares,fire blast,blaze,fire breath,fire ball). So this smoke-grenade doesnt work very well to be invissible, I suspect its use is to run away then. It says it does -acc + -perception, great so I can -acc some1, ok they can see me but if they cant hit me I dont care, I got 3 ToHit Debuffs in it but I never saw some1 miss me due to smoke grenade, that sux, I hope the devs will change this.

How much -acc does darkest night, radiation infection and smoke grenade?
I love to compare it.

smokegrande has a -5 tohitbuff i reckon, which is very little compared to the two other powers listed.

I don't know the exact numbers, but Smoke Grenade isn't a huge debuff. Blasters aren't debuffers though, so that shouldn't come as any surprise - it's certainly not going to be anywhere near a Defender or Controller debuff. More of a nice little bonus to the -Perception.

[/ QUOTE ]Indeed, smoke grenade is only 5% nowdays. When the game launched, it used to be 50%, which meant /dev blasters were pretty much unstoppably, and fire/dev blasters used to hit 40 in a few days, solo.
