Ar/Em Solo and Team Build, probably could be better

Herculon_EU · 09-14-2009 10:43 AM

I have never made a build that couldn't be improved by some advice from others on the forums so i though i would give it ago with my new favorite toon

I have an Assault rifle Energy manipulation blaster now in the mid 30's, and am really enjoying the play, so i though it is now time to plan and IO'd build.

One thing i did find is that trying for the set bonuses did not necessarily fit what i wanted from the build, so i have frankenslotted to achieve the best possible enhanced power values. but sought out + damage mainly with bits of + recharge and recover aswell.

This build originally had:
Hover as a means to avoid agro and position my cones better, however i found that staying with boost range a a seconds planing i was happy with the coverage i can get, and havent caused to much problem with knockback

I dont have too much problem with knock-back as i rarely use M30 grenade and so all knock back is in one direction and within my cones

. I feel i can do without it as i can chain BU Buckshot, Flame thrower, Buckshot to whittle town alot of health. i could though crab it instead of ignite (it adds alot of single target damage, but would i used it?)

I originally took the jump pool, and while combat jumping is ace, i want tp as my travel power, as is this is a natural themed blaster who would shatter his legs and crush some vertebrae if he jumped that hi. so i would prefer to avoid other travel powers. TP also provides pseudo imob protection.

I slotted power push to be a cheap knockback protection. 4 slots and im covered for most things and from a low lvl ( i think i need to slot them all around lvl to for best effect?)

Ignite i took as i figured it would be nice for speeding up fights with AVs

I like ot blap, but i dont need to on teams and it really doesn't get the best out of AR, so i kept oly bone smasher as it has quick activation, i can fire of that and power push and get back to coning.

I took munitions master not because it would be the best, but because it fits the theme and i want to arrest people with a guided rocket.

My buget is going to be somewhere around 150 mill + i already have the hami-o's

so i think i can spend more than i have but what i save an can use towards my second build so solo play.

very similar just had to get aid self, as it drastically speeds up play, and i worry a little less about concept as i want to be able solo content when i cant get a team to try it, and wont be allied with tanks buffers or debuffers who can compensate for my frailty. I have tried to get a bit of defence in there but curently only have about 22%

So basic guestions should i jumple some powers around, maber take tactics, can i acheive a better build with some slotting advice are some powers a waste (such as ignite)

So there it is Two build and some questions thrown out that in a disorganized heap. any help you can give would be appreciated.

-First build looks good. You won't need 2 Rech in Boost range tho.

-I've never seen much need for Power Boost, cept maybe with Aid Self.

-I've always skipped Ignite..not sure why, so i can't say if its worth keeping..

Boost range with Flamethrower and Full Auto is so much fun

perma jump is ---> /up 1
