Hey blasters, i just rolled a archery/nrg blaster, and to tell the truth i suck with ranged toons. Would it be possible for me to get some hints/tips on this build? Im trying to get a pvp blaster, and well, it isn't easy for me, lol. any help is good help at this point, thx .

It's hands down my favorite Blaster combo. But it IS all range. Well, when you build like I did and ONLY take 3 things from the NRG secondary. If you want a Blapper, I would really suggest a different Primary. But I will also say this, I don't PvP, but I have taken her into RV for badges and played a bit while I was there. With invis on ya (dropped on me from a controller) and flight, you really do become a VERY deadly sniper! The BU/Aim/Snipe makes you a dang near Stalker dropping his AS.

This was also before the recent changes to PvP so I have no idea if they are currently anygood there. But she was insanely deadly a year ago in there.
