Ummm.... Help? ..... Please?!

So let me set the scene. In my SG we are talking about builds and someone asks "Whats the best build for an archery blaster?" and I happen to have one so I tell him my build. Then someone asks "I am thinking of making a fire/rad troller." and I that happens to be my oldest and best build so I tell HIM my build.

THEN someone says "whats a good build for a */storm MM?" and, again I have one so I tell him my build.

So while everyone is saying how good/sad I am for being able to answer all build questions and while I am feeling REALLY SUPERIOR and dead smug I get a pvt tell from nowhere. I didnt log it but to paraphrase:

"Hey, could you tell me the best build for a PVP Rad/nrg blaster?"

And like an idiot, I say "Sure, give me a few days to play around and I will let you know"

And heres the problem.... I have never made a PVP build in my life. I wouldnt know a decent pvp build if it came and slapped me in the face. In fact whenever I dare to enter a pvp area my *** is kicked from the Rogue Isles to Breakfast time.

So I turn myself over to the all worldly knowledeable people of the forums. Where do I start???? If I am a rad blaster in pvp what do I want? recharge? regen? recovery? resistance? defence?

Don't get me wrong I am not expecting someone to say "Hey Ace here is the best pvp build for a rad/nrg blaster in the world.... ever...." all I want is someone to point me in the right direction. Where do I start if I am a pvp blaster.

oh and incidently, I have two blasters..... neither of them are rad/nrg. so I have no idea what we are dealing with.

Could someone sort my life out PLEASE!!!


Life is one big practical joke that we as the human race have yet to see the punchline to. Once you work that out the rest is easy.

well, since you don't have a rad/em blaster, what are the two blasters that you do have. Rad for pvp is, not great, but not bad. /Em as a secondary in pvp is the best though, but I kinda like devices (even though it's not quite as good as /em). Do an advanced search of titles only and in the pvp builds section for rad/em blasters.

ok I couldn't resist, I had to put together a build for ya. It was difficult slotting a radiation blaster because the lack of range in the third attack power. Other people may add to this, but at least you have a solid build with 41kb protection, 50% rech without hasten, HP cap, so on and so forth.
