Your Blasters...
The only one I've got right now is...
Seaborn (Sonic/Elec - Lv. 43)
... he's so much fun and Sonic is just awesome. It's got some of the most satisfying effects - and I might be one of the only people in the game that actually likes the sounds it makes.
I also got an AR/Mental blaster up to Lv. 45, but I've deleted him. It was a HUGE blast, maybe better than Sonic/Elec, but I just have this weird thing against playing weapon sets, heh.
Wild Streak - Lv. 50(+3) Beast Mastery/Sonic Resonance Mastermind, Amnesty - Lv. 50 Staff Fighting/Dark Armor Stalker
Eng/Fire (50) My first toon and first 50. She was a debt magnet but I enjoyed the ride.
Ice/Ice (50) Nice control & damage. She plays like how I'd like my Doms to.
Psy/Men (50) She was fun until the higher levels.
Fire/EM (22) So far she's a beast and I'm loving it.
Sonic/Em (22) Not as good as my Fire/EM but still fun so far.
I have plans on making an Elc/Elc , Arc/?, Rad/? and probably DP/? when I16 comes.
41 Electric/Fire. For a brief time was an awe inspiring sapper. Took a long break from this Blaster after issue 6. Voltaic Sentinel appears to be a good choice when I don't have it.
39 Ice/Electric. No complaints here. Ice Blast's AoE potential is generally underrated.
37 AR/Ice. Swapping M30 Grenade for Full Auto was like being reborn.
The difference between the Elec/Fire and latter two blasters is the number of excellent powers the latter two don't have room to take.
In no particular order
Psi/MM
Psi/EM
Arch/MM
Ar/MM
Ar/EM
Sonic/EM
Ice/MM
Ice/Ice
Arch/Dev
ICE/EM
Fire/MM
AR/Fire
I have had them paired with all the APPs Currently cold mastery and electric are the current leaders. Cold being the winner for anything PvP related electric the winner for PvE.
I don't know how many blasters I deleated before I finally ended up sticking with one (and then a second). I started 5 years ago on a tank. Moved to a scrapper. Then a controller. I finally decided to stick it out and make a blaster. I found making a theme and background for her made me more interested than just having a quick toon. My Fire/Fire/Fire was a beast. Of course I face-planted alot (what blaster doesn't?). But I was determined to push through those lower levels. I then made an Energy Blast/Mental Manipulation blaster. Again, a theme and backstory really helped me connect with the character. I think I was also driven by a desire to get 1 lvl 50 for each AT. I'm still working on that goal
I have always hated playing blasters..
Until I found the diamond in the rough..
Scrot my 45 Energy/Device/Munitions.. I just love blowing stuff up.. No other combo of Time Bomb wait a sec Toe Bomb, Explosive Blast, Nova... is as satisfying... a very tricky combo to pull off but wow when U do... I will have to make a video of it...
first 50:Ele/Dev/Fire alt build for munitions.
This toon was, and is a blast to play. Anytime i get bored with another toon, i alt on him, play a for a few days, and love every minute of it.
My other blasters:
10 fire/fire
13 ele/ele
My current project character: Sonic/MM
Waiting to make a Pistol/*
Remaking my first toon (was emp/rad defender) into a rad/nrg
I have deleted:
12 nrg/nrg
16 AR/Nrg
35 Psi/MM
21 Fire/Ice
14 Ice/Ice
Reasons for deleting some of these (others i deleted cause they just wen't fun)
Nrg/Nrg: My wife plays scrappers exclusivly, and KB is a pain for melee toons. Heck even my blasters dont like teaming with people who use KB (KD or KU are fine in my book)
Psi/MM: late game every Lt and Boss has heavy psi res it feels like (this was pre MA), TV was a royal pain, etc.
My 50s:
Destinee Fable - nrg/nrg/cold, the first blaster that made me a convert
Tempered Flare - fire/ice/cold, my main TF and team blaster, about 60% IO'd out at the moment, but I'm still working on him piece by piece.
Sound Beating - son/nrg/force, my solo machine
FirePsyde - fire/mm/elec, an AoE beast and lots of fun (not quite 50 yet, but might as well be)
I've had a ton of others over the years that have been deleted.
Lot of fun with Blasters:
50's
Ice/Ice
Fire/Energy
Archery/Energy
Working on:
Electric/Psi
Fire/Fire
Ice/Elec
I once had a Fire/Ice blaster that I deleted. The one that I'm currently planning is level 22 Fire/Fire.
Starbird - 50 - Fir3 (first char, first 50, I created him before I even bought the game)
Kal-Orie - 38 - nrg/nrg (I love KB, it's just fun)
Lynxeye - 22 - Arch/Dev
K'tallia - 20 - Psy/Mental
BlueBerryBee - 15 - Elec/Elec
Hi-Fist - 7 - Sonic/mental (I'm gonna reroll to make him a Sonic/nrj)
I already have names reserved for my rad/? and my DP/dev
I had a AR/Dev but I'll reroll him as a traps/ar defender
50 energy/energy
41 assault rifle/devices
39 Sonic/devices
32 archery/psionic
24 assault rifle/devices
23 psionic/energy
23 energy/psionic
21 fire/fire
18 assault rifle/devices
13 ice/electricity
13 electric/devices
13 fire/fire
10 assault rifle/devices
10 archery/devices
10 electric/energy\
1 (don't remember. it's just a level 1/0 xp zone racer)
My first character and namesake that got me hooked on the game was an Ice/Ice/Cold Blaster.
Now the funny thing is, I still play him fairly regularly and love every minute of it. But after 33+ months, I've created a grand total of 3 other blasters. 1 was deleted, and 2 are parked below level 5 and have never been played since.
Lvl 32 (or maybe 33) Ice/MM Blaster.
Enjoying her, but I think Blasters tie with Tankers in being my least enjoyed AT
Electric/Devices!
My first and favorite toon. I can't think of ever running into someone else with this build before.
I use to not like Blasters at all. I could not play one past 20. I dunno, I just kept dying a lot. Finally double XP weekend, I thought I'd give it a go and play a set I normaly don't play. I am not offically addicted to my Archery/MM blaster. He's 44 and growing fast. Love his powers and the concept I made for him.
