Fire/Energy - good or not?

Hi,

Im trying out some different blaster types and I am thinking of fire/energy.

Has anyone tried this at all? What do you guys think of a fire/energy blaster?

The reason I am toying with the idea is because I have an elec/elec atm and have wanted to try out fire before. I like the close up blapping but have heard fire can do quite good damage.

So fire/energy.. thoughts?

Could have used the same post for both questions See my reply in your build post.

Yeah but decided to do a build anyway lol

Not created the character yet so still want to know from people if a fire/energy will work.

BTW.. does power boost work on my secondary or primary powers? (fire or energy). If it works on fire what insane amounts of damage will I expect? lol

Power boost doubles base secondary effects such as defence, heal, mezzes, tohit boost (not damage ). It will do nothing to fire except boost the tohit buff of aim. With energy it will enhance the tohit buff or build up, increase knockback of power thrust and increase the duration of stuns. It will also buff the defence epic shields (personal force field and frozen armour) and slows of snowstorm. Its skippable on a PvE Fire blaster.

Rolled my fire/energy blaster last night (level 7 already).

All I can say is OMG.. loads of damage! Build up is fun with fire

Any ideas on how much damage I might be producing when I reach the higher levels? Anyone else tried a fire/energy and what is it like leveling?

My fire/energy is at level 37 at the moment.

Power boost + aim + build up + fire breath + fireball normally deals with all the minions and leaves the lieutenants quite damaged. Offcourse positioning yourself is crucial to get them all in both AoE attacks.

You can also switch between aim & build up as they recharge slower than fire breath & fire ball, this way you'll always do more damage.

Blaze & Bonesmasher for some excellent single target damage.

Conserve power just before the Inferno, pop a blue an fireball the survivors

It has a lot of potential, especially with a good tanker for the aggro.

Oh and flares sucks...
