Energy Fire Blaster Respec Time

I am giving Halek the old respec treatment shortly, so I wanted to run it past you guys first. The toon is aimed at PvE working in teams, solo is not a consideration.

A couple of attack chains would be:
BU, Aim, Snipe, Energy Blast, Energy Bolt, Energy Burst to finish off minions or lieuts, if I am on the boss, they turn to start to run at this point due to the hot feet, once they turn to do so I hit Air Superiority to knock them down then drop burn, hit with fire sword, Air Superiority again and if they are knocked again; Fire Sword Circle.

If I get into trouble and I am on a miss chain, I use power push (heavily slotted for accuracy) to get them away and ring of fire to keep them there, so I can go back to power blast and start the chain again, popping consume if my end bar warrants it.

The obvious yellow pills, bu+aim, Nova combo is another chain.

Any feedback welcome.

Slot 3 damage in attacks, or don't take them.
ToHit buffs in aim and BU aren't needed for PvE.
You won't need acc in nova since you'll be using aim/BU before it, and it has built in ACC boost. Slot it with 3/3 dam/rech.
Either slot 3 rech in TI or don't take it.

I use Ring of Fire for holds combined with Power Push to keep them out of melee with me, I don't think either of those warrant 3 dmg. Good point on Nova however, although I usually fight +3s and the accuracy helps not be standing there with no end and loads of enemies still whacking.

Anyone else have any feedback for me?

Pretty please?

TI: slot 3 DmgRes 1-2 EndRdx
FoN: slot 3 DmgRes and if possible 3 Rechg

I think MaX was referring more to Snipe, Blast, Nova, Bolt, Fire Sword etc etc that all have only 2xDmg there. Having them 3x slotted for damage is a must Im afraid.

3 slotting Accuracy is a bit over-kill for anything, and Power Push has an inherently high Accuracy as it is. Just one Acc SO is sufficient to hit yellows and oranges. Maybe consider 2 Acc's in any AoE's etc, but generally your big hitters will be in the Aim BU window, so any more than 1 or 2 Acc is a bit wasteful.

Be interested to see how this pans out though, best ST damage Primary (imo) with best AoE secondary could be quite tasty.

Good luck

This is how it came out after the respec. Been playing it for a couple weeks now and I am really happy with the build.

Some comments on the build might help I guess!
Took Maxs advice on the Damage slotting and the TI slots.
No additional slots in Health as it makes any defiance difficult, and I am only taking it to get Stamina at any rate.

The EndRdx in Hot feet means I can run it all the time now and it is helping a lot. I find I have excellent synergies with controllers now: Move in on a held or immobed enemy, drop Burn, then Fire Sword Circle all the while hitting with Hot Feet, back out a little and pound with my primary blasts while he is slowly cooking.

Any feedback is appreciated however as I have any amount of additional respecs if I feel the urge!
