Very old Nrg/Nrg blaster. Advice please.

I have a VERY old Nrg/Nrg blaster. Hell, he was my first 50. I'm starting to revisit some of my old characters so I was wondering if I can get some advice on the build and how to slot up for IOs. He does not have any. He does a bit of blapping, but I did like the flexibility of going back and forth on him, (range and blap). Thank you.

Here is a build I put together for my Nrg/Nrg that I never actually took the time to devote to it, however it did seem like it would be immense amounts of fun.

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

I'm guessing you have an old-school budget, like "under 20 million inf."

Around post 23 in my mini-guides, I discuss Frankenslotting.

For the singletargets, try to get a set of five Thunderstrikes in one of them (any five, level 32-39 will be fine depending on what's cheap to buy.) That will get you some extra Endurance and global Accuracy. For the rest of the singletargets, try something like this- again, any level from 32 on up:

Thunderstrike Acc/Dam/Rech, Dam/End/Rech
Ruin Acc/Dam/Rech
Maelstrom's Fury Dam/End/Rech
Either a generic Dam (if you bought mostly low levels)or another Dam/Whatever That's the equivalent in SO's of Acc/Dam/Dam/Dam/Rech/Rech/End .

For melee attacks, I tend to slot them less because I tend to jump in, unleash a flurry of slaps, then jump out. Don't need much recharge for that trick. So two Acc/Dam, one Dam/End (or dam/rech) and one generic Damage should get you where you need to be in four slots. If you want more you can either frankenslot (two acc/dam, three dam/whatever) or you can go with, say, four Touch of Death or four Mako's and a "misc" for the extra Health and Damage.

For the snipe, you can generally buy crafted IO's incredibly cheaply and get a strong second-rank set (Executioner's Contract or Extreme Measures) for close to the cost of SO's. You may need to mix and match (4 of one set, 1 of another).

For Nova, I recommend four Damage/Recharge (obliteration, cleaving blow, multi-strike and Scirocco's) and one Acc/Dam. This will be a little expensive.

Personal Force Field: Three Recharge (you're capped on defense already), or if you have extra slots consider 4-6 Red Fortune. It's a good, cheap set.

Force of Nature: Slot for Resistance and Recharge. Resist/Recharge IO's are comparatively pretty cheap. Serendipity, Reactive Armor, whatever's cheap. Throw in up to four of those.

Temp Invuln: Resist/Endurance IO's, whatever's cheap. Probably three Res/End and one straight Resistance.

Two last things worth spending money on:

1) Knockback protection - a Karma IO in Hover. Costs millions and worth every inf.
2) Stealth IO in a movement power- you can put either Celerity +Stealth or Unbounded Leap +Stealth in a veteran sprint power and have stealth on demand. Not as vital as KB protection but helps with the Blaster "Shoot first, shoot last" playstyle.

Hope this helps!
