Psy/EM Blaster Help


ConFlict

 

Posted

I recently became 50 on my Blaster and would like to build her for PvP. I searched through the PvP forums looking for advice. I did find a lot if useful info on the character, just nothing really useful on a build. People seems to conflict a lot about how it should be built. One says go for Recharge, one says Max Health, another says to build for Defense? Wouldn't I need all of the above along with Accuracy and Regen? Isn't defense crap now in PvP?

Here is a build I put together. As always, I try to avoid sets of Purples and PvP IOs. One or two here and there is, ok.

Any advice would be great.
Thank you for your time.

Fly is bad, yes even in zones. Unslotted (for speed) fly and SS is worse. At best you are going to get a few attack off when a target comes under you, then get left in the dust as soon as they start to move.

Lack of KB protection for when you are on the ground

.68 eps recovery means you are going to be out of end more often than not

Powerboost will fix your travel speeds for 15 seconds at a time, but other than that it is pretty useless now.

You must get rid of swift,fly & hover.
Replace with hurdle,combat jumping & superjump
slot with 2 blessing of zephyr In cj & sj for xtra defense
also u should 3 slot ss & put 2 blessing of zephyr & a celerity stealth.
You don't more than 3 slots in health, 4 gaussins in tactics & for hoarfrost 5-6 slots w/ health & interrupt. Just hit power boost b4 u hit hoarfrost & u will be fine

Hoarfrost doesn't take interupts, and pb doesn't effect it.


Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

See what I'm up against when trying to find build advice?

Im not sure being a blaster and being 'on the ground' is a great idea, and slotting for Defense in CJ & SJ? I thought Defense was crap now in PvP?

Well I would mostly just ignore the Sitting Duck.

There are like 5 or so people that routinely give good advice on here. Advice from everybody else should usually be ignored. And it won't take long to figure out who the 5 are.

HaHaHaHahahaha!

You robot. That was a great lol.


"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.

lol lith.

And Dahjee, it just figures that you'd disagree, considering you're one of the biggest reasons for my statement. Too much of your "advice" has been PROVEN to be 100% false. Unfortunately, some new people might not know how idiotic you are, so they may actually listen to the lies you spread. Thankfully for them, there's a few of us still around that can explain to them how the game actually works.

The thing is... as a flying blaster, you will be "On the ground" the second people look up. Everyone has a jet pack and many of the most popular builds you'll run into in zones have something with -fly.

Corrupters - Most have Leviathan mastery which has Spirit shark jaws -Fly
Brutes - Most are SS, hurl has -fly. They also have web nades, again -fly
Stalkers - Same as corrupters
Dominators - You see a lot of mind doms which means levitate -fly, also grav and fire have it as well.
VEATs - Banes get a pile of -fly Forts and Widows can get webs as well.

Defense is crap on a blaster, ignore all that stuff.

This is a build I had around for someone looking for a cheap (no purps/pvp IO's) Zone build.

I'm not hated and followed and -Rep'ed with three letter bits like OOO and --- and *** because my advice is bad... jeez. I don't give that much advice. Hell, and most the points I make are agreed with. I should just be ignored, right? No, the hate comes from something else Max... you know it... I know it... the 600+ people who read but not post in the threads I'm in probably know it.

Explaining how the game works sometimes invloves telling someone how to make something work.... only thing done here for new folks is telling them what will and won't work. New players aren't the same as dumb players...

Either the 5 people and their lil followers make the assumption that most new PvPers are tools or they lack the experince to tell someone how to make something work. Or I'm just wrong again... and it's best for PvP to claim things simply as good or bad... and tell people they can't roll this and can only roll that. Just doesn't seem smart to me is all. Robotic.


"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.

I stopped reading after teh OOO, but I decided to comment anyway.
You are whimsical, like the tooth fairy. Your toons exist in the shadow, no one has seen them, or seen them do well, but yet in the back of our minds, we know. We know that there is some trapper out there, desperately trying to tp someone into their poison gas trap, all because they were inspired by the legend, the story, the myth. D-ahjee

Um, I play more than Traps toons in PvP Lith

Well that hardly matters, as no one thinks you do. Perception is reality.

Why are you posting in a Psi/EM thread?

You'd know if you read the thread I'm sure.

Link me to the parts where people agree with you. You say it happens a lot. I think you're proven wrong more often though.

You have contributed nothing to the OP's request for Psi/Em advice.

In fact...neither have I.

OP, take Boost Range. It's awesome.

Whew.

If it entertains you to be debated on points, then forums are likely not the place for you to be. Seeing as how that is kinda the forums purpose.
