Ok well for me i Pri play Villians. So not much is known about heroes but recently i found out that i only have about a year left to play the game. I sifted through all the forums looking for some stuff but everything is to far out. I know for PvP people say that it won't work well as well all know that's been said a BILLION times but we will see.

Idea for the build.........

Stealth,Ranged,Fast,ACC (DEF if possible)

I want to be a blaster that is well not well know that is around but has good ACC pri.
I know i'm going to take fly so maybe i can do the Hover Blaster i've been hearing about. So if anyone can help me with a good build that would be amazing.

Also can someone explain to me what a "soft cap" is lol.

1. Arch/Dev will be fine. Not great, but decent.
2. Building for defense is worthless on a squishy in PvP.
3. If you take Hover/Fly, you will want another travel power to pair with it, likely Teleport or Super Speed. In PvP you will get grounded and if you have no other travel power you'll just be a sitting duck.
4. Powers from Arch to take would be Snap Shot, Aimed Shot, Aim, Blazing Arrow, Stunning Shot, and Ranged Shot if you feel like it (if you deal with a lot of MMs, Rain of Arrows would be good too).
5. Powers from Dev to take would be Webnade, Caltrops, Targeting Drone, Cloaking Device, and if you feel like it, Gun Drone and Smoke Grenade.
6. Power Pools would be Fitness, Leadership, and your choice of two travel powers (if you're dead-set on Flight, I'd recommend Hasten + Super Speed as well). Go Cold Mastery for Hibernate and Hoarfrost (Frozen Armor and Snowstorm as well).

The term "softcap" is a PvE term. Basically, an even-con minion has a base 50% chance to hit you, and can have no less than a 5% chance, so 45% is considered the softcap. 45% applies all the way up to enemies seven levels above you (when enemies start getting a tohit bonus instead of an acc bonus, but that's not really relevant since you'll never be fighting enemies that high anways). In PvP, the softcap doesn't exist, since it's generally far less controlled and other players can slot acc into their attacks and have access to many +tohit powers.
