For Travels i would go with jump and speed. Teleport is so lol after I13.
For the other pools i recommend fitness and Leadership for Assault and Tactics.
From Jump get CJ SJ and Acro
Speed for Hasten and Speed
After all you should take Ice as APP taking Hoarfrost and Hibernate as panic power.
I pretty much never take acrobatics. I have a tendency to take the Flight pool because I enjoy the absolute freedom of movement it offers, and Hover has in-build KB protection.

TP Foe is garbage in PvP. If you're basing your build on that, you're in for disappointment. TP foe phases the targeted player. All it can be used for is for droning other players, since the drones can still kill a phased player.|

I'll also pick up force mastery for FoN and a few other things, because the idea of a blaster with 75% resist to all but psi for two minutes at a time is just fun. Anyone have any advice? Will the TP/Hover combo give me a decent chance in PvP or should I just respect asap? Are there any specific blaster PvP strategies I should be aware of? Thanks. |
TP and hover sound great on paper, but what will you do if they webnade you? TP suppression is awful and a webnade will ground you.
If you want to PvP as a blaster focus on mezzing. Put the Fortunata Hypnosis Chance to Placate Proc in Will Domination and Devastation Chance to Hold in your other blasts. It's stupidly cheap, but there's no stopping other players from doing the same. Once they're mezzed for 3-4 seconds, it's trivial to fire off your blasts to finish off your target.
Also, since post issue 12 PvP is all about damage spam, you'll want hasten and as much recharge as you can get.
I honestly wouldnt' worry that much about FoN and all that other jazz. Blasters have innate resistances in PvP zones and if simply take tough and your epic shield, you'll have pretty high resistances. However, that really shouldn't be your focus since you'll just do better by just spamming the damage along with the mezzing procs.
I've been playing with Mid's now that I've had more time and found that FoN is really not needed at all and a few other choices needed to be changed. The teleport stuff is lame, but I can fit in SJ and SS instead I suppose.
Thanks again for the help.
