That depends, how do you want to play your Blaster? Do you want to fight solely from range, melee, or a combination of the two?
If range, go for ranged defense cap, if melee, go for s/l defense cap, if for both get most of your positional defenses to around 30% and some good regeneration, recovery, and s/l resistances.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
So 30% is the benchmark on defense?
Would it be more ideal to grab hover and get my ranged Def up then?

Code:
this is what I use, but this is a old comfort toon so I have things set oddly, and its respected to I19 standards, so hurdle and health will be TP and team teleport with the empty slots in the build going to stamina. On the whole tho I clock in a 253% regen and a 21% dmg increase with a 25% recharge boost along with 25% more acc. Overall tho this is what my live build looks like.

Now we aren't ready quite yet to let the catgirls out of the bag.... (quote from ex libris)
Total Focus is bad btw.
ummm no it isnt??? Sure it not the gotta have of back in the heyday when it was mag 4 stun, but I have bonesmasher slotted with stuns which I pull first then I use TF on them. Sure the windup is long but it still does stun mag 3 100% and a huge butload of dmg

Total Focus is significantly lower dps than EP and BS. EP and BS do more damage combined than TF in less time. And they will not get you killed. The only thing TF has over EP and BS is that it costs less endurance to use than the 2 other attacks together, although its still lower DPE.|

A rough attack chain that is good on a high recharge build: Blaze > energy punch > bonesmasher > Blaze > energy punch > fire ball > [fire blast if lower recharge] > blaze
Hey
I'm a long time PvPer and havent played my blaster in PvE since I got my accolades, which was years ago. I want that to change but I have no idea how to build for PvE with IOs on a blaster.
Can anyone link me a build that I can use as a starting point?
