Energy/Devices Blaster!

Hey guys,

I've always played Scrappers, Tankers, and Brutes because it's always been my style. I decided to try something new and I'm going with a Energy/Devices Blaster. I'm not sure if this is possible, but i'm looking to build it for farming........I like to farm for drops. I prefer super speed over fly/hover and ect but would adjust accordingly to someone's build. I'm looking for a build that will deal mass damage and will prevent me from being super squishy all the time. Also, i'm not sure if "purples" make all the difference in the world, but money isn't an issue....I just want a build that isn't that going to need to be replaced unless the coh support team changes something....


Thanks,

Kibowi~

Energy/Devices is going to be able to do some crazy stuff if you farm *alone.*
Stealthing trip mines stacked with lots of AoE knockback, etc.

However, if you're interested in steam rolling / farming with teams / etc, it's one of the last combinations I'd go with.

The best farming primary for blasters is Archery... hands down. Great secondaries for it are /Energy and /Mental. If you want to break the mold, /Ice would be okay...

Assault Rifle is okay for farming, too.

Some people swear by Fire, but you have to remember it has less AoE farming potential that either Archery or AR, since you won't be Infernoing on every group, and if you RoF in most circumstances you're actually going to make things worse.

/Fire on the other hand has some potential. If you build a Blaster who can survive the repercussions, /Fire would add loads of good old fashion PBAoE.

I disagree.

Depending on how you want to play, it can be the worst secondary, or the best.

There isn't one way to play that is better than any other, no matter what you may think about it. You can have an opinion on it, but opinion does not equal fact.

My Sonic/Devices blaster is VERY different from my Fire/Fire blaster, and I enjoy both of them equally.

Different people like different things. Your way of playing is not the best. Neither is mine. If the OP thinks Energy/Devices sounds like fun, then for him it probably will be. Whether you or I think it is fun is completely irrelevant.
