mids gives you the exact numbers and if you create a new toon you can see the power animation when you change the colors of the powers.

Thanks! That works. Wish I could see the power still. I know there used to be a site that did that before many people left the game.

What does it matter about the animation times, right now there is not a better blaster than a Psi/Em, there are multiple reasons, be it the delayed damage, slotting of the placate proc in Will Dom for a dueling build and it always firing. Just take TK blast,Will Dom, Psionic Dart, Mental Blast, Psionic Lance, Scramble Thoughts and Psychic Focus from the primary and Power Thrust, Build up, Boost Range and Power Boost from /EM and then you can choose between tactics/Force or Tactics/Cold or Phase/Force. There are plenty of threads with the builds below this one just take some time to do some searching they are there.

What do you mean by "tactics/Force or Tactics/Cold or Phase/Force". I think I am thinking something different then what you are saying.

Because Fitness/SS/SJ is a given, the other pools to choose from to round out your build are those he listed. The proven builds will have either Tactics or Concealment pool and Cold or Force APPs.

What about healing pool. I know most everyone used to have aid self. Is this not so good compared to the 2 you mentioned above? Which of the three do you think would prove more effective? I think I would choose cold over force but will need to test it out when I get to that level.

not many people use aid self on blasters. For the others it really depends on you. On test for my team build I use tactics/Force and some people use phase/force. On live in zones you mostly see tactics/cold for hibernate and hoarfrost because you very rarely see an emp on a team in a zone.

Thanks for the heads up. That was actually very helpful. I remember when back in the day every blaster used aid self. With PB I can heal for at least 350 on my ice/nrg/force. it helps but I think I might try to respec one of his builds to include tactics/cold to see how I like it. |

I think I might go tactics/cold... though I am sure I will have to think a lot more about the end cost now... I'm sure it is very heavy.
If you don't want to bother with power animations (thus stopping every time you attack) then make a peacebringer and live in light form. You aren't going to kill anything but it's lulzy moving non stop and spamming attacks at the same time. Pew pew pew!
Wait is that an exploit? If it is I didn't recommend it and I don't do it.

Thanks for the update. been looking at builds with leadership and it seems that people are getting Maneuvers before or instead of Assault. Is there a reason not many people are getting Assault?

Maneuvers allows you to slot needed IOs like Karma: KB Prot and LotG 7.5's. Assault does not.

No, because damage is also hit with the DR bat so it really is mostly a waste of end and of a power choice.
Take :
maneuvers for a karma, a lotg 7.5 and maybe a kismet +acc
vengeance for another karma, and a lotg 7.5
tactics for 5 adjusted targetings and a rectified recticle.

OK, so I have been doing A LOT of work preparing for a new toon (I hate getting to 20 and then not loving the build). I tend to PvP a lot but I know animation times are a big problem sometimes. Is there a place I can go (official or not) that can show you the animation times of the powers? Via either Gif, video, written times, or all three.
This will help me understand my build without having to study youtube videos of toons fighting frame by frame lol.
I think I might run a Psi/ blaster but not sure yet. I want to see some of the animations of the powers. Also, what primary powers in Psi/ should I avoid for PvP.
Thanks!
