AR/Eng/Mun blaster question


Death_Bullet

 

Posted

Hello, this is my first 50 char and my pride and joy. I love my blaster so much and I am a group clearer. with full auto/lrm/and many other cone/aoe's I can ae farm very well. Thing is I'm looking for advice to perfect him even more. Here is my current build with the IO sets. I focus on recharge reduction and because I've had many slots left over I 6 slotted Hasten and atm with this set up it is only a 25 sec downtime with hasten. I figured the faster full auto come backs the more damage I can pump out. with the Chance of Energy with posi set full auto is nastier then before. I don't have many purps the one apoc I found on a farm. Let me know your opinions.

Hasten and Build up are overslotted, but other than that it looks okay. I'd take out the to hit slots and 3 recharges from Hasten. Also the recharge bonus in LRM is beyond the cap.

Do you actually have all these enhancements or is this a 'dream' build?

I would also recommend dropping M30 Grenade and taking Burst... your range ST damage will be seriously hurting without it.

lol, yah I have all of these enhancements, some of these are temp until I can afford some purps. Thanks for the advice.

It all looks good! Even though there seem to be alot of wasted slots (like the 6 slots in Hasten you already mentioned), but most of those wastes slots won't serve you much better elsewhere (wow, I had no idea AR/nrg was so slot-abundant!)

At this point, you'll literally be squeezing in more recharge, and adding a bit of survivability to yourself.

I would take the Force Feedback proc out of Power Thrust and put it into Buckshot (or buy another proc). The reason for this would be that it only has a chance to proc once in Power Thrust, but has a chance to proc 10 times (or however many mobs you hit) in Buckshot. You could do the same for M30 Grenade.

You already have +52% Accuracy in this build, and you'll get much more than that if you start adding purple sets, so I'd also take an accuracy slot from Surveillance and the Hami Dam/Mez out of Beanbag (because it does so little damage, adding a percent more to already low damage just means still low damage) and put the slots into Health.

I don't know how well you're surviving already, but adding the Numina +Regen/Recovery proc and either the Miracle +recovery or the Regenerative Tissue +regen proc in there will keep you up and killing. I usually slot Health w/ Numina proc, Numina Healing, Miracle proc, Miracle Healing for the extra regen/recovery.

I'd also take the Accuracy enhancements out of Full Auto and Flamethrower and add range or recharge, depending on what you need more of (I don't know if you already have a full chain).

You can add Luck of the gambler +recharge globals to Grant Invisibility and Invisibility for an extra 15% global recharge.

You *could* (though not critical) you could take two slots out of Hasten and put them into Fly, and replace Soaring with Freebird (all three) for more health/regen. When I pulled up your build on my Mids, it tells me you're already perma-Hasten (20 secs to spare). Even without the two slots (or the LotG globals), you'll only lose 2 secs recharge on Hasten but get more HP.

I'll have to try these, I was going to go ahead and buy that luck of gambler recharges but hell they are about as expensive as some of the purp recipes I'm looking at, but I do appreciate the input and advice, on my second build I'm building a more single target dps with burst cryo freeze and ignite.
