Im trying to make my blaster dish out as much pain as possible. should I worry about recharge for DPS or just my damage bonus? right now I have 38% recharge and 16%damage(10% is from assault). Just wondering how I should go about it.

Generally, depending on your Blaster, recharge gives you more than damage. Your AOE's and your Tier 3 blasts (Blaze, Bitter Ice Bolt, things like that) are usually where the pain lives. That and Build Up & Aim.

Without knowing what kind of blaster you have, all I can say is that OFTEN the melee hitters are surprisingly fast and full of juicy damage. Give 'em a try!

Edited to add: I like the way you think.

Because of defiance more recharge also gives you more damage. I'd focus on the recharge and only pick up damage bonuses where you can't get recharge ones.

Just repeating the others but definately Recharge over Dmg. My Fire/MM has 80% Global Rech (150% with Hasten) and 34% global dmg and with defiance can easily keep a high dmg buff, then adding in BU & AIM is even more juice. So while Recharge is a must, don't negate trying for Dmg as well.

I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.
